Connect to C200HE over Devicenet

[Tony 0]

Goodmorning all, I have a CJ1M with DRM21 master on network 1 and ETN11 on network 2 I can connect to the CJ1M over ethernet and internet with CX-programmer I have a C200HE with DRT21 slave on the same Devicenetwork Can I connect to the C200HE through the CJ1M over ethernet with CX-programmer? Thanx in advance, Toni

Hi Toni, I am affraid not. You can't access a PLC with programming software using Devicenet. The CJ1M is as far as you can go. Hope this answers your question.

Yes it does PdL, Thanx

Hello Tony (and PdL), Not too certain when using a DRT21, but you can gateway through to DRM21 units and CPM2*S* PLCs. E.g. PC ---> Ethernet ---> CJ1 (DRM) ---> DeviceNet ---> CJ1 (DRM). Hope this helps.

Really? I didn't know that... Sorry Toni, although it looks like a DRT won't work as anonymous says.

Hello Chaps, Done a little more investigating with this, and it should be possible to gateway to a DRT unit (the CPM2*S* is a slave device after all!) using CX-Programmer, upload / download / monitoring etc. The one caveat here is that the DeviceNet response time is pretty slow, so it may be that time-outs might occur. Hope this helps.

Amazing! I really jumped to soon on that one. By the way anonymous what series do you mean with CPM2*S* ?

Hello PdL, These are the little CPM2C units. They come in a variety of flavours, hence the 'wildcard' used in the title. E.g. CPM2C - S100C - DRT, or CPM2C - 10CDT1C - D etc... http://industrial.omron.eu/en/products/cat...ts/default.html Hope this helps!

Right, yes that helps
