Omron FINS to MQTT
Omron controllers over FINS on UDP, TCP or a serial line: CIO, DM, WR, HR and AR memory areas, addressed D100 or CIO10. Design it in the editor, validate it, build the package and run it.
Typical use case
A packaging line on Omron controllers reporting to a broker or a database, with the PLC program untouched.
The FINS driver deploys and runs in this release of the Edge Runtime. It has been tested against a simulated controller, not yet against a real one, so treat the first commissioning as the verification.
Configuration approach
Memory areas
D100, CIO10, W20, H5, A100: the area and the word, with the data type deciding the width.
UDP, TCP or serial
FINS/UDP is the common choice on Ethernet; FINS/TCP where the network needs it; Host Link is a separate source node for serial-only CPUs.
Quality travels with the value
A tag that stops being readable is published as such, never as a repeat of the last good number.
Build a Omron FINS to MQTT gateway
Create a project, define the device and its tags in the Edge Logic Editor, and download a runtime to test at the plant.
