Reliable serial connectivity to Omron PLCs using the FINS protocol
This driver is only available as part of the following TOP Server driver suites:
PLC Series Supported (CJ, CS, CP)
Serial Networks (RS-232/422/485)
Client Interfaces (OPC UA/DA, SuiteLink, DDE)
Devices Supported
The Omron FINS Serial driver works in conjunction with TOP Server to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Omron controllers via the Omron FINS Serial protocol over RS-232 or RS-422.
It also supports Sysmac Link operation to access additional PLCs via Sysmac Net. TOP Server automatically optimizes data acquisition based on client demand and ensures data integrity through extensive error handling.
