2. Overviews

2.1. Functional over view

“SYSMAC Gateway Runtime“ is the communication middleware product which provides the FA network environments on personal computers. “SYSMAC Gateway Runtime” includes “FinsGateway Middleware” which supports OMRON communication Protocol “FINS” as in the past and SYSMAC Gateway Middleware which supports “EtherNet/IP” building industrial multivendor network environment.

SYSMAC Gateway Middleware supports “Tag Datalink” (cyclic communication) function by Ethernet/IP.

In the past, to support “Datalink” function we need to have the special network card, like “Controller Link”. With SYSMAC Gateway and EtherNet/IP you can use the “Datalink” function on the de-facto standard, Ethernet. PLC memory data is appeared on the shared memory, called “Event Memory”, on the computer, which is same function as “Controller Link” provide. You can use this data just like the shared

memory data from your application.

The way to access value of “Event memory” is compatible with FinsGateway as in the past.

Furthermore, by using CX-Compolet it is possible to do tag name based programming without regard for address.

FinsGateway Middleware provides FA network environment to communicate transparently without regard for number of networks which OMRON provides. With FinsGateway you can use FINS message communication function and shared memory function, called “Event memory”, to share the data with PLC and other devices.

2.2. Precautions

・ When you configure “Tag Datalink” you need to use “Network Configurator”, which belong to OMRON support software, “CX-One”. You must install “CX-One” first before installing “SYSMAC Gateway”.

・ This installer is for installing “SYSMAC Gateway runtime environment” only. With this environment you can run SYSMAC Gateway based application. To develop SYSMAC Gateway application you need to have “CX-Compolet” or “SYSMAC Gateway SDK” separately.

・ When configuring the Tag datalink in EtherNet/IP Network, Version V3.01 or higher of Network Configurator included in CX-One V3 is required.When installing the Network Configurator by CX-One V3.0x, please perform the CX-One AutoUpdate.

・ Though structured variables and array variables are applicable to the SYSMAC Gateway, It's not possible to create the tag data link connection with other EtherNet/IP node specifying the member of structured variable or element of array variable to the tag.

・ Windows vista doesn’t allow building sample programs which belong to the “Program Files”. Please move the sample programs to a user folder when you rebuild.
