Features |
|
What is Open Network Controller?
Simply put, the ONC is an information station. It provides onsite
information to your information system from manufacturing equipment and
production lines by sending data collected from PLCs, DeviceNet,
Temperature Controllers, Digital Panel Meters, and other FA components via
Ethernet, intranet, and Internet connections. It can be used to add
advanced information capabilities without changing the PLC system.

ONC Stand-alone Applications as an
Information gateway
Ethernet-to-DeviceNet Remote
I/O Communications
-
Data from DeviceNet Slaves is reflected in event memory in the ONC. The
data in event memory can be read/written from the personal computer,
effectively reading/writing actual I/O data for the slaves.
-
Data from DeviceNet slaves can be read/written through the ONC without
using PLCs.
-
Explicit messages can be sent through the ONC to the DeviceNet slaves from
the personal computer.
-
PLC ladder program maintenance cam be performed from the CX-Programmer
through DeviceNet.

Ethernet-to-Serial
Communications
i. Ethernet-to-Serial Communications
(Host Link or CompoWay/F)
Communications can be converted between FINS, Host Link, and CompoWay/F for
Ｃ-series PLCs (e.g., CQM1H and CPM2A/C) and OMRON components.
| * |
Connection from the CX-Programmer is possible only for CS
Series, CJ Series, CVM1, and CV Series. |
|
|
|
ii. Ethernet-to-Serial Communications
(FinsLink)
Data from PLCs connected on serial lines can be reflected in event memory in
the ONC using FinsLink. The data in event memory can be read/written from
the personal computer, effectively reading/writing data linked in the PLCs.
| * |
Fins Link is a communications protocol for using FINS commands
to read data (CIO and DM) from PLCs connected to the ONC via
a\serial lines and to periodically write data to event memory
in the ONC.
It creates virtual data links between the ONC and PLCs using
serial communications. |
|
|
|
Ethernet-to-Controller Link
or SYSMAC LINK Data Links
Data from multiple PLCs on Controller Link or SYSMAC LINK networks is
reflected in event memory in ONC using the data link function. Changes can
be made to data linked in the PLCs by reading/Writing event memory in the
ONC.
Remote programming and monitoring can be performed for PLCs from the CX-Programmer
through a Controller Link network.

Various
Software for Web Monitoring, E-mail Applications and Database Connections |
|
|
WebToolKit for ONC
Application as a Browser Station
Information from FA components connected to the ONC can be viewed from a
Web browser running on a personal computer connected to Ethernet, an
intranet, or Internet*. This enables using Internet Explorer on your
computer for monitoring. The WebToolKit is a development kit for building
Web applications using Visual Basic or Java. The Web application is built
in the ONC, allowing Web browsers running on personal computers to monitor
data. (The computer is used as a graphic terminal.)
* : A fixed IP address is obtained
from the provider to use Internet.
|
|
RemoteKit for ONC
Application as an E-mail Station
E-mail can be sent from the ONC to personal computers or cell phones on
specified conditions*.
Files created by the Data Collection/Distribution Software can also be
attached to e-mail sent to personal computers. E-mail can thus be used to
provide status reports periodically, when errors occur, or at scheduled
times. Dialup connections can be
automatically processed through a modem to your ISP.
* : E-mail can be sent based on a
schedule or based on changes in bits or analog data from components
connected to the ONC, such as PLCs or DeviceNet slaves.
|
|
DataBaseToolKit for ONC
Application as a Database Connection Station
Data from FA components connected to the ONC can be periodically (every
second) stored in a database running on a personal computer connected via
Ethernet. Files created by the Data Collection/ Distribution Software can
also be periodically stored in the database.
* : E-mail can be sent based on a
schedule or based on changes in bits or analog data from components
connected to the ONC, such as PLCs or DeviceNet slaves.

Application Examples |
|
Data Collection Station
Collect Data and Send It Using FTP
Collect data under the required conditions from PLCs connected via various
networks and from DeviceNet slaves and save it in CSV or binary files in
the Memory Card in the ONC. Without any changes to the PLC system, the ONC
can be used as a collection station for production, error, inspection, and
history data.
 |
|
A Station for Changing the System Setup
Write Settings, Such as Recipe Data, to PLCs The settings required to
change the system setup can be written (i.e., "distributed") to the PLCs.
Data for changing the
setup (A, B, C, ...) is written to CSV files at a personal computer in the
host system.
These files are transferred to the ONC, which transfers the data from the
CSV files to the specified memory addresses in the PLCs when instructed by
the host system (e.g., by turning ON a bit or at a scheduled time).
