Omron FINS Serial vs Hostlink

2 posts in this topic

Good day, There's an old Omron CPU Sysmac C200HE connected to Siemens SCADA WinCC via RS-232 and seemingly Hostlink protocol (it says "Omron C-Series Hostlink" on WinCC tag management and installed software) Now I found an OPC site which lists C200HE CPU under "FINS Serial" but not under "Hostlink", why is that? Please also check the whole story: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=28675 Thanks for any response!

Host Link has 2 formats C Mode Host Link, which is the most common. This was created for C Series PLCs like C28K, C28H, C200H, etc. CV Mode Host Link is basically FINS commands wrapped up in a Host Link frame. This was designed for CV PLCs. Current generation PLCs such as CJ1, CJ2, CS1, CP1L, CP1H, and CP1L-E support both protocol formats at the same time.
