Rx Omron PLC
Reads one or more consecutive Omron data words and stores them in the Kingfisher RTU's network
registers.
Comment: A 12-character description.
PLC Unit no: (1-99) The Omron address. The local RTU treats an Omron PLC as if it is another RTU in the
network and will store the Omron PLC data in network registers corresponding to this address. This means
that the Omron PLC's address must be a unique RTU address in the Network List.
Command: The Omron area to read the data from. The available options are: Status Read, IR (Internal
Relay) Area Read, HR (Holding Relay) Area Read, AR (Auxiliary Relay) Area Read, LR (Link Relay) Area
Read and DM (Data Memory) Area Read.
PLC Data Address: The starting address in the Omron PLC where data is to be read from. The following
addresses can be specified for each Command:
• Status Read: 1
• IR Area Read: 0 to 235
• HR Area Read: 0 to 99
• AR Area Read: 0 to 27
• LR Area Read: 0 to 63
• DM Area Read: 0 to 999 (read/write) and 1000 to 1999 (read only)
RTU Register: (#R2 to #R1024) Specified as a local register but indicates the first network register to begin
storing the data from. Note: the first network register is reserved for the response code returned by the PLC
after each message.
Data Length: (1-30) The Number of consecutive 16-bit registers to read.
Communicating With An OMRON PLC
When using a TX_OMRON or an RX_OMRON block the RTU should be configured as follows:
• First ensure that the Omron driver is supported by the type of RTU that is being used and that the latest
firmware and driver are loaded in the RTU (as detailed in protocols.pdf available from www.cse-
semaphore.com/mykingfisher).
• Set the port protocol as OMRON in Configuration, Port List.
• Set the port baudrate in Configuration, Port List.
• Add the station address of the PLC to the network list in Configuration, Network List (this must be a
unique address in the RTU network).
