Upgraded FA Communications Software Lets You Create Applications

The need for faster transmission of more and more information between personal computers and PLCs is coupled with the need for frequent changes to specifications, such as address allocations in PLCs, a demand for software standardization to eliminate dependence on specific applications and networks, and a demand for cost reductions.

In response to this demand, OMRON has completely renovated its FA Communications Software under new names. Data links are now possible using Ethernet. Data links can even be accessed via a LAN port on a notebook computer. And FA Communications Software can be used to access PLC data by using only tag names to enable more flexible and higher-speed access of PLC data from personal computers, and that lowers costs by eliminating the need for a special board for data links.
