Overview

• Use Ethernet to implement various communications protocols
• Implement FINS message communications using UDP/IP or TCP/IP with a user application on a host computer or with support software, such as the CX-Programmer
• Use the clock on an SNTP server to automatically adjust the clocks in the PLCs connected to the Ethernet network (SNTP server is required separately)
• FTP server is built in, so files can be used to transfer PLC data between network PLCs and workstations or personal computers with an FTP client
• Email can be used to send commands to the PLCs, or triggers can be set so that the PLCs will send PLC data or Ethernet unit status to a host computer
• Standard UDP/IP and TCP/IP protocols are supported to enable communications with a wide range of devices, workstations, personal computers, and Ethernet modules from other manufacturers
• SMTP/POP3/SNTP servers enable the use of host names instead of IP addresses (A DNS server is required separately)
• Manufacturer: Omron
