Creating Routing Tables
Section 6-4
The following example shows routing tables for sending data from PLC #1 (the
local node: network address 1, node address 1) to PLC #4 (the destination
node: network address 3, node address 2).
Note
In the above example, the routing tables required for a message to reach PLC
#4 from PLC #1 are shown. Additional settings would be required in the rout-
ing tables for a message to reach PLC #1 from PLC #4. Refer to 6-4-3 Rout-
ing Table Setting Examples for routing table setting examples.
6-4-2
Connecting and Using a Peripheral Device for the PLC
Routing tables must be created by a CX-Integrator connected to the PLC.
(They cannot be created using a Programming Console.) For details on how
to connect and use the CX-Integrator, refer to the CX-Integrator Operation
Manual (W445). (CX-Integrator is automatically installed when CX-One is
installed.)
Note
1.
When routing tables are transferred from the CX-Integrator to the PLC, the
CPU Bus Unit is reset so that the routing tables that have been created can
be read and enabled. Before transferring the routing tables, make sure that
the devices in the system will not be adversely affected by resetting the
CPU Bus Unit.
2.
To transfer routing tables for multiple nodes to a PLC in one batch, connect
the CX-Integrator to a PLC with only one Communications Unit mounted.
Routing tables cannot be transferred to other nodes from a PLC with mul-
tiple Communications Units mounted.
3.
Routing tables can only be transferred as a batch to multiple nodes within
the same network as the PLC to which the CX-Integrator is connected.

To go to network #3,
first go to node #3 at
network #1.
To go to network #3,
first go to node #2 at
network #2.
(To go to network #3
according to the local
network table, go
through unit
number 1 of the local
CPU Rack.)
(The network is the same,
so go to node #2 at network #3.)
