A communications interface solution for Omron
Description: FINS is an Omron protocol which can be used by a PLC program to transfer
data and perform other services with a remote PLC connected on an Ethernet
Network. The FINS protocol can be used by remote devices such a FieldServer
to transfer data and perform other services. The protocol uses the Ethernet
protocol called UDP to carry the FINS messages back and forth. The UDP protocol
is not connection based and reliability is achieved by using confirmation
messages. This Ethernet Driver can be used to transfer data to and from the
Nodes supporting FINS communications. The Driver can be configured as a Client
or a Server. As a Client: This driver reads and writes data to Server Nodes.
Server nodes should be FINS capable and be configured to communicate over
FINS. As a Server: Driver responses to read requests and updated FieldServer
Data Arrays with data from client.
Formal Driver Type: Ethernet
Connection type: 10BaseT Ethernet
