Omron PLC - PLC via SCU41

[digispark 0]

Hi All, I have 2 CJ2 PLCs with SCU serial cards, they are connected via pair of RS232 serial data radios. I need very simple comms between them, write maybe 5-10 words from PLC B to PLC A. PLC B serves as a remote IO gathering device. I was told that I need to use CX-Protocol to create a protocol macro between the PLCs. I never worked with CX-Protocol and I'm a bit unsure what to do. Could someone point me to the right direction on how to set up the serial comms between two CJ2 PLC with SCU cards?

You can use the RECV2 instruction with the CJ2. PMCR for this would almost be overkill. You would set the RECV2 instruction up to read a specific data area from the other PLC, its basically a canned FINS instruction. Hope this helps. Dylan

Thanks Dylan, RECV2 function seems pretty straight forward. Could you please guide me through the cards setup? Do I need to do any additional setup to the SCU cards to assign a FINS node number on it?
