Omron family profile: serial-connected slave

Use this profile to connect a slave device (or devices) using one of the Omron serial port protocols, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.

Configuration Options

The serial port connection must be configured for the protocol required by the slave, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.

The network connection usually does not require configuration. The only exception is if the master requires COM port redirection. In this case, the master is an application that resides on a PC, such as a Microsoft Windows system, and communicates only with devices on COM ports.

Setup Information

To configure the serial port of the device server for any of the Omron protocols, see Configure a serial-connected slave: generic procedure.

To setup a PC and the device server for COM port redirection using RealPort, see Set up COM port redirection.
