Step 2. Select a Target Programmable Controller

After you open the communication port, you can select the OMRON programmable controller you want to test. To do this:

  1. In the PLC address field, enter the address of the OMRON programmable controller. Use the same format you use when configuring the controller for a CIMPLICITY project.

To enter the address of an OMRON programmable controller on the local Host Link network, enter a single number.

  1. To enter the address of an OMRON programmable controller on a subnetwork, use the following format:

<CV bridge>.<subnetwork number>.<PLC address>

Note: This is the same format you use when defining a device address in CIMPLICITY software

  1. Click on the appropriate radio button to select a C-Seriesor CV-Seriesprogrammable controller.

If you enter an invalid programmable controller address, an error message displays on the status line. You must enter a valid address to continue.

After you enter a valid programmable controller address, the Read and Write Data Address fields are enabled.
