Posted 19 Jul 2022 Hi: Has anyone use Fins Command with NX1P2 (or any NX/NJ). I try with Multiway with "[!]: Command format error (1004)" Below is the command from multiway 800003000100000100060101820001000003 Data memory are define in global variable table as A as %D1, B as %D2 and C as %D3. The relevant setting are done on Fins Setting and Memory Setting in the PLC. Anyone ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Jul 2022 Download Etherway - much better. Give yourself some more memory to work with - for testing give yourself 100 words and stick to one memory area. I found an old FINS command and response from Etherway for D20: <--: 46494E530000001A000000020000000080000300140000FB00050101820014000001 (Request) -->: 46494E53000000180000000200000000C0000200FB000014000501010000FFFF (Response) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like you are using TCP? How do you set up TCP instead of UDP in Sysmac Studio? The Etherway shown Time out if I am using TCP (client ?)

Try connecting to 192.168.250.1 ERROR: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.250.1:9600. It is TCP yes. A lot of what you see is the header. You change between TCP/UDP here: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Jul 2022 (edited) I did a test with UDP reading words D1,D2, and D3 from my NX1P2. See screenshots. TCP doesn't work on the NX1P2. The message I posted earlier was from a different controller. Edited 20 Jul 2022 by photovoltaic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jul 2022 @photovoltaic: I am using NX102 9000. The error is dealing with connection. What is the Fins Settings (under Built in Ethernet/ip) . I am unable to make connection using TCP. Even with UDP, the error of 1004 will occur if the command is send to the PLC. If I use the TCP/UPD Messaging Services, Connection can be make but response message is not encouraging <--: 46494E530000001A0000000200000000800007000100007800020101820001000003 -->: 46490400009A1500 May i know are there any setting in Ethernet/IP and the Operation Setting tabs?

Posted 22 Jul 2022 If you are using the NX102 then FINS is only supported on ethernet port 2. It looks like you are connected to port 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
