Omron FINS master
Omron FINS TCP, UDP and serial address read and write drivers
Open the plugin
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, create a device and select “OmronFinsMaster” in “Collection Plugin”.
Supported channels and data types
| Channel type | Pre-configuration check |
|---|---|
| TCP Client | Confirm network reachability of the device IP, port, and gateway to the device. |
| UDP | Confirm the local binding address, port and firewall rules, and check the source of the packet. |
Optional data types: Boolean, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Float, Double, String, Decimal
This list describes types allowed by the plugin editor. Address width, arrays, string length and read/write restrictions still follow this page; it does not mean that every address supports every type.

Device debug
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, select the current device then open “Protocol Debug” at the top of the workspace.
Functions
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Read and write | Read a confirmed point and write only to an approved test point. |
| Messages | View sent and received frames, protocol fields, and error details. |
Verify the configuration
Monitor D0 online in the PLC engineering tool, compare its value with the gateway variable and confirm advancing sample times.
Troubleshooting
- TCP and UDP use different transports. IP reachability does not validate FINS nodes/routes; changing only the port does not switch the protocol.
