CX-Server Generic FINS Ethernet Driver 1.1

CX-Server Generic FINS Ethernet Driver by Omron Electronics Corporation

The CX-Server Generic FINS Ethernet Driver provides a reliable, high‑performance communications layer that lets PC-based applications connect to Omron controllers over standard Ethernet networks using the FINS protocol. Designed to integrate with Omron CX-Server and CX-Server OPC, it enables straightforward read/write access to PLC memory for HMI/SCADA, data logging, commissioning, and maintenance tasks.

Key capabilities:

• Native FINS over Ethernet communications for Ethernet-capable Omron controllers
• Direct IP-based connections using standard FINS addressing (network, node, and unit numbers)
• Access to common PLC memory areas (for example, CIO, DM, WR, HR, timers, and counters)
• Cyclic polling and on-demand reads/writes with adjustable update rates
• Multiple concurrent device connections and sessions
• Robust error handling with timeouts, retries, and clear status codes
• Connection diagnostics and simple setup (IP address, local/remote node numbers, service port)
• Works with CX-Server/CX-Server OPC to expose controller data to OPC clients

Benefits:

• Simplifies Ethernet communications setup for Omron PLCs
• Reduces engineering time during commissioning and troubleshooting
• Scales from single-machine connections to larger plant networks

Note: Feature availability can depend on controller model, network configuration, and the versions of CX-Server components in use. For detailed compatibility and system requirements, refer to the official Omron documentation for your specific hardware and CX-Server release.
