FINS/TCP with SEND(090) Instruction

[Taa 0]

Hi I'm trying to send data from my PLC (CP1L-EM) to my PC using SEND(090) but the only protocol I can use is FIN/UDP. Is it possible to use SEND(090) with FINS/TCP? *** (My FINS server app running on my PC is listening on both TCP (port 9600) and UDP (port 9600)) thank

According to the instruction help if you wants to send data from "PLC" to "Computer" you have to use Hostlink. But I think if this is about monitoring (Reading/Writing) PLC memory areas using Computer you can do this easily by using OPC Server. Ex. Kepware

thanks ChinthanaW The manual said that you can use both TCP and UDP to send FINS Messages over an Ethernet network using SEND(090) instruction. but no matter how I set the parameters, the SEND(090) used only FINS/UDP to send FINS Messages. Anyone have any ideas? LADDER: LD P_First_Cycle MOV(021) #0003 D200 MOV(021) #0000 D201 MOV(021) #B6FA D202 MOV(021) #0002 D203 MOV(021) #0064 D204 LD P_First_Cycle MOV(021) #1111 D100 MOV(021) #2222 D101 MOV(021) #3333 D102 LD W0.00 @SEND(090) D100 0 D200

If you want to do a FINS / TCP send, you must setup a FINS TCP Client connection to your PC in the Ethernet setup of the CP1L-E. For this to work, you must be running something like SYSMAC Gateway, which will respond as a FINS/TCP client.
