Omron Family Profile: Serial-Connected Slave
When to Use
Use this profile to connect a slave device (or devices) using one of the
Omron serial port protocols, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.
Configuration Options
The serial port connection must be configured for the protocol required by
the slave, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.
The network connection usually does not require configuration. The only
exception is if the master requires COM port redirection. In this case, the
master is an application that resides on a PC, such as a Microsoft Windows
system, and communicates only with devices on COM ports.
Setup Information
• To configure the serial port of the device server for any of the Omron
protocols, see "Configure a Serial-Connected Slave: Generic
Procedure" on page 66.
• To setup a PC and the device server for COM port redirection using
RealPort, see "Set Up COM Port Redirection" on page 69.
