1-1 Overview
1-1-1 What Is the Controller Link?
The Controller Link is a n FA network that can se nd and receive large data
packets flexibly and easily among the OMRON C 200HX/H G/HE Programmable Controllers (PLCs), CS-series PLCs, CJ-ser ies PLCs, CVM1 PLCs, CVseries PLCs, CQM1H-series PLCs, and IBM PC/AT or compatible computers.
The Controller Link suppo rts data links that enable data shar ing and a message service that enables sending and receiving data when required. Data
link areas can be freely set to create a flexible data link system and effectively
use data areas.
High-volume data transmissions are possible at high speed and so a wide
range of networks, from low-level systems to high, can be easily created.
There are two types of networks: networ ks connected with shielded twist edpair cable and networks con nected with optical fiber c able. Using a Repeater
Unit in networks co nnected with t wisted-pair cable makes it possible to use a
variety of different wiring configurations, such as T-branch wiring, long-distance wiring, and partial conversion to optical fiber. (Refer to the CS1W-
CLK12, CVM1-CLK12 Optical Ring Controller Link Units Operation Manual
(W370) for detail on optical fiber connections.)

Data Links
Data links allow the constant sharing of data in predetermined data areas
between nodes, between PLCs, or between a PLC and an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer on the network. Dat a lin ks do not requ ir e the use of communications programs on the PLC (CPU Unit) or IBM PC/AT or compatible
computer. Data written in the send area of the local node will be automatically
sent to the receive area of other nodes.
The I/O area (CIO area), link area (LR area), DM Area area (DM area), an d
extended DM Area area (EM area) c an be freely set in the send or rece ive
area. (The area used for sending or receiving data using the data link function
is called “data link area.”)
The data link area can be set automatically or manually.

Automatic Setting Used for simple data link processing. Data link can be performed by simply
setting parameters in the DM area of the PLC.
Send data size per n ode is the sa me for all nodes. All no des par ticipating i n
the data link share the same data.
Manual Setting Used for flexible data link processing depending on each system.
Using the Controll er L ink Su pport Software, indivi dual data link tables can be
set for each node and the data link area can be freely allocated for each node.
Send data size per node can be fre ely set. It is als o possible to set nod es for
only send or rece ive data. With the Controller Link Unit, the data link can be
set to receive only a part of the data link area of other nodes.
Message Service
This function controls data transmission with particular nodes, reading or writing of status data, c hangi ng of op eration mod es, etc., by executing communications instruc tions on a program. The communications instr uctions include
SEND/RECV instructions for data transmission and CMND instructions for
issuing various commands.

SEND/RECV The SEND or RECV instruction sends or receives data in an area of a particu-
lar node.
The SEND instruction sends data from an area of the local node and writes to
an area in the designated node.
The RECV instructio n requests the designated node to send ar ea data and
writes the data to the local node.
CMND The CMND instruction issues a command to read or write data of other nodes,
control, or read erro r logs. With t he Control ler LInk Unit, O MRON’s command
protocol called “FINS commands” is used.
Note Since the C200HX/HG/HE PLCs do not s upport the CMND instr ucti ons, arbi-
trary commands cannot be issued.
RAS
RAS performs real-time monitoring of the network status. If an er ro r oc cu rs i n
the network, RAS records and displays the time and contents of the error.
Status Area Data Link Status Area
When the data link function is used, the data link status is reflected in the data
link status area of the PLC.
Network Status Area Other than the Data Link:
The network sta tus such as the sta te of node par ticipati on is reflect ed in the
