18.1 Wiring Diagram

18.1.1 Link method: Cnet

The wiring for RS-232C is as below.

The wiring for RS-422/485 is as below.

18-1
 Chapter 18 Omron: CS/CJ PLC

OMRON’s Host Link protocol provides 4 lines wiring method only not 2 lines.
Put the switch at ‘4’ position as shown at below picture.
A terminator resistor is embedded so make the switch to set terminate resistor ‘ON’.

Setting switcher are different depending on communication module so for setting, refer to the below pictures.

18-2
 Chapter 18 Omron: CS/CJ PLC

Notice
1. Suggestions
☞ A shielded wire is recommended for stable communication. (For detailed wiring, refer to the OMRON
Communication manual.)
☞ When applying 1:N connection through RS-422/485 communication mode, set(ON) the terminator switch for
the last communication module only.
2. Term Description
☞ Host Link indicates connection between host PC and OMRON PLC and XGT Panel communicates with
OMRON PLC with this way.

18-3
 Chapter 18 Omron: CS/CJ PLC

18.1.2 Link method: FEnet

(1) Ethernet specification
Ethernet can be connected in 2 ways as below figure.

Notice
☞ When connecting hub-node, direct cable has to be used and cross cable has to be used when connecting 1:1.

(2) Ethernet cable

Ethernet cable gets specified into 2 cables according to its type.
When communicating through LAN, connected to network equipment like a hub, direct cable is used. (In case
of hub-node connection) Direct connection is available among equipments and in this case, cross cable is
used.

Method for wiring a direct cable is as follows.

18-4
 Chapter 18 Omron: CS/CJ PLC

‘White-yellow’, ‘White-green’, ‘White-blue’, ‘White-brown’ from above figure is indicated on the coating of the
cable. For example, ‘white-blue’ has blue stripes on white coating.

Method for wiring of cross cable is as follows.

Notice
☞ Use according to the connection method.
☞ Wire the cable by using a modular tool. Bad connection may occur.
☞ If the lock part of the modular jack gets damaged, it may not get fixed to the RJ45 connector (Ethernet
connector) and bad connection may occur.
☞ The UTP cable is made out of solid wire material. Therefore, it may break when heavily bent or shaken.
☞ It is advisory to use a plug cover when wiring cables.

18-6
 Chapter 18 Omron: CS/CJ PLC

a. Select ‘Host Link’ for the mode (Serial communications mode).

b. Select ‘Mode C’ for Host Link mode(Host Link compatible device mode).
c. The basic settings are as above but if you need to change communication settings at your discretion,
change the Port Settings from ‘Defaults’ into ‘User settings’ as the following picture.

● Step4: Select ‘Unit No.’ at communication module. At this time, ‘Unit No.’ should be input when adding a
new communication module at ‘Step1’ or you can select it at IO Setting screen as below.
