🔁 Official Recommended Replacement Models

Two upgrade options from 옴론:

1. CJ2H-CPU64 (in-family replacement, minimum migration effort, preferred)
2. NX102-9000 (new-generation NX series, Sysmac Studio software, full-platform upgrade)

Migration Notes: Memory addresses and instructions are mostly compatible between CS1 and CJ2H, but rack configuration, special unit parameters and communication unit settings need re-verification. NX series requires full program reconstruction.

Communication Protocols Supported by OMRON CS1H-CPU63H

Important distinction: Protocols on CPU native ports (no extra module required) and protocols via optional CS1W communication boards / 단위 (add-on hardware required). All network messaging is based on FINS (Omron FA Information Service Protocol).

1. Native CPU Ports (Peripheral Port + Built-in RS232C)
2. Host Link: Traditional Omron serial protocol, used for CX-P and HMI/SCADA to read/write PLC and online programming. Supported on both RS232C and peripheral port.
3. NT Link: Dedicated serial protocol for legacy Omron NT HMIs, 지원하다 1:1 /1:N multi-panel connection.
4. No-Protocol Communication (TXD/RXD): Free serial transmission of raw ASCII data, for instruments, barcode scanners, weighing transmitters.
5. Serial FINS: Run FINS commands over serial ports for PLC-to-PLC serial interconnection.

Physical interfaces: Mini-DIN peripheral port, D-Sub9 RS-232C. 내장 이더넷 포트 없음.

2. Optional Communication Boards (Front CPU slot: CS1W-SCB21/SCB41)

RS232C / RS422A/485

Host Link, NT Link, No-Protocol, Protocol Macro (PMCR). Predefined third-party device protocols (모드버스 RTU, custom instrument protocols) configured in CX-Protocol.

Serial FINS

3. Optional Rack-mounted Communication Units (CS1W modules plugged onto backplane)

3.1 Ethernet Unit CS1W-ETN21 (standard Ethernet, NOT EtherNet/IP)

❗Important: CS1H-CPU63H does NOT natively support Modbus. Modbus RTU requires SCB/SCU serial board plus Protocol Macro. Modbus TCP requires ETN/EIP unit plus custom Socket programming.

5. Protocol Selection Quick Reference

Serial instruments: No-protocol TXD/RXD or Protocol Macro (SCB board)

Large data exchange between PLCs: Controller Link

CS1H-CPU63H｜Modbus RTU Configuration via Protocol Macro

Hardware Prerequisite: CS1W-SCB21/SCB41 (CPU front serial board) OR CS1W-SCU21/SCU41 (rack serial module).

CPU native serial port cannot run Protocol Macro for Modbus RTU. SCB/SCU hardware is mandatory.

소프트웨어: CX-Protocol (included in CX-One suite) + CX-Programmer

1. 작동 원리

Protocol Macro (PMCR) executes communication sequences inside the SCB/SCU module. The CPU invokes pre-downloaded communication sequences with `PMCR(260)`. The module automatically handles packet assembly, transmission, response waiting, CRC16 checksum and parsing, then stores received data into PLC DM memory.

✅ Capability: Modbus RTU Master (read/write holding registers, input registers, 코일, discrete inputs)

⚠️ Limitation: No native Modbus ASCII support. 맥스 20 protocol sets; 최대 60 sequences per protocol.

2. 하드웨어 & DIP Switch Setup
3. Unit Number for SCU: Set via DIP switch (0~F), must match hardware configuration inside CX-P. SCB boards have no unit number and use fixed port addressing.
4. Port Mode: Set port to Protocol Macro, NOT Host Link or No-Protocol.
5. Serial Parameters (Modbus RTU standard)

8조금, 1 정지 비트, 패리티 없음 (8,N,1). Odd/even parity is also available.

전송 속도: 1200~115200bps, must match Modbus slave exactly.

4. RS485 Wiring: Enable terminating resistors at both bus ends; shield grounded at single point; do not reverse A/B wires, connect A to A and B to B.
5. CX‑Protocol Project Creation Steps
6. Create new protocol project, select CS-series SCB/SCU, create new Sequence.
7. Create Message frames to define Modbus RTU packets:

Frame structure: Slave Address(1비)+기능 코드(1비)+Data Field+CRC16(2비)

Enable automatic CRC calculation in CX-Protocol; manual CRC entry is unnecessary.

Common function codes: 01 Read Coils, 02 Read Discrete Inputs, 03 Read Holding Registers, 04 Read Input Registers, 05 Write Single Coil, 06 Write Single Register, 10H Write Multiple Registers

3. Timing parameter configuration (비판적인)

Send&Receive: transmit then wait for response

Response timeout: normally 200~500ms (increase for long-distance / low baud rate instruments)

Retry count: 0~3; set to 1 retry for noisy field environments

Frame interval: Modbus RTU requires 3.5 character silent interval. CX-Protocol wait time must satisfy this timing requirement.

4. Compile protocol macro and download it into SCB/SCU module (NOT download to CPU program).

메모: Protocol macro is stored inside serial board/module, not CPU. The CPU only calls sequences. Older modules lose protocol macro after power cycle, re-download required after power up, or use flash-version modules.

4. PLC 프로그래밍: PMCR Instruction Call

Instruction format: `PMCR(260) S1 S2 D`

S1: Protocol number + Sequence number (defined in CX-Protocol)

S2: Start address of transmit data (DM area, stores variable parameters: 슬레이브 주소, register start index, 길이)

디: Start address for received data storage (DM area, slave response saved here)

Associated Status Word

After PMCR execution, status code is written right after D channel:

0000: Completed normally

0001: Timeout

0002: Receive frame error

0003: CRC check error

0004: Sequence not found

Programming Tip: Trigger PMCR with rising edge, do NOT keep PMCR ON continuously. Wait for completion flag OFF before triggering next poll to avoid bus collision.

5. 일반적인 함정 & 문제 해결
6. A/B reversed wiring: No response, PMCR reports timeout (most frequent field issue).
7. Protocol macro not downloaded into SCB/SCU: PMCR returns error. Many users only download ladder program and skip protocol macro download in CX-Protocol.
8. Timing fails 3.5 character gap: Intermittent packet loss and CRC errors, more likely at low baud rates.
9. Multi-slave polling without interlock: Simultaneous transmission causes bus conflict.
10. Wrong port mode selected: Port set as Host Link, PMCR will not execute.
11. Mismatched unit number: SCU unit number in CX-P hardware configuration inconsistent with physical DIP setting.
12. Alternative Solutions for CS1H
13. Protocol Macro PMCR: Modbus RTU master, supports complex polling. 불리: requires CX-Protocol, protocol stored on module and lost on power cycle (older hardware).
14. No-Protocol TXD/RXD: Manually build packets and calculate CRC inside ladder code. Large programming workload; suitable only for single simple device, hard to maintain with multiple slaves.
15. Add ETN21 Ethernet unit: Socket programming to implement Modbus TCP, no RTU support.
