3.3 Restrictions and Precautions
■
When using all models
• Using the Pass-Through function will lower the baud rate of the PLC-link communication with the PLC.
• The Pass-Through function operates only in the “Run Mode” or “Monitor mode”. The function will not operate in the
“System Mode” or “Simulation Mode”.
• When using Ver2.60 or earlier of WindO/I-NV2, change the mode to “System Mode” before using the Pass-Through
function.
• Can not communicate with MICRO/I via Ethernet when use Pass-Through via serial port.
• Do not use communication with WindO/I-NV2 and Programming software at the same time.
• The Pass-Through function confirms the operation for Download/Upload User Program and Monitor on PLC
Programming software. Other functions are not confirmed.
■
When using HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G
• If you need to use the Pass-Through function and currently using WindLDR Ver.5.0* - Ver.6.0* or competitor’s PLC
programming software, then you must use the Pass-Through Tool. For more information, see the Pass-Through Tool
mamual.
• If the communication via Pass-Through fails, change the settings such as Baud Rate, Timeout, Transfer Mode etc
on PLC Programming software.
In case of WindLDR, set as follows.
Transfer Mode: ASCII
Baud Rate: 9600
Timeout: 5000
• When Host Communication was stopped by Pass-Through Tool, the Host Communication Error on HG2G-S/-5S/-5F,
HG3G/4G is not recovered unless starting by Pass-Through Tool or resetting HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G.
■
When using HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F
• If the checkbox is selected for Enable Pass-Through Function, then other functions on Serial Interface 2 are
disabled.
• When connect FX series with Pass-Through function, set up the baud rate as 9600bps in programming software.
• When connect MELSEC-QCPU with Pass-Through function, set up the baud rate of programming software to same
baud rate as the communication between MICRO/I and PLC.
• Pass-Through via Ethernet is available to only FC3A/4A/5A. But Pass-Through function is not available if using Web
Server Module (FC4A-SX5ES1).
• Set the following settings in “Communication Setting” dialog box when you communicate between WindLDR and
PLC via Ethernet.
Port Number: 2101
The Maximum data size: 1
Time delay between packets: 100 and over
(Increase “Time delay between packets” setting value if the communication speed between MICRO/I and PLC is
lower than 9600 bps.)
