The program for the communications functions is created on the host (personal computer, E5EC Manual PLC, E5CC Manual or other
type
E5AC Controllers E5CC Manual E5EC Manual
E5DC E5EC Manual of communications
E5CC E5AC Manual
E5GC master), and the E5AC Manual
E5EC E5@C's parameters are monitored or E5AC Manual set from the host.
Therefore, the description provided here is from the viewpoint of the host.
CompoWay/F is OMRON's standard communications format for general serial communications. This
format uses a standard frame format as well as the well-established FINS* commands used for
OMRON's PLCs. Therefore, it can simplify communications between components and the host.
* FINS (Factory Interface Network service)
The FINS protocol provides message communications between controllers in OMRON FA networks.
Modbus is a standard communications control method that conforms to the Modicon Company's
RTU-mode Modbus Protocol (PI-MBUS-300 Revision J). Modbus is a registered trademark of
Schneider Electric.
It supports functions equivalent to the CompoWay/F Read Variable Area, Write Variable Area, Opera-
tion Command, and Echoback Test functions.
The E5@C supports the following communications functions.
◇ Reading/writing of parameters
◇ Operation instructions
◇ Selecttion E5GC Manual of setup levels
