Has anyone had success with connecting to an Omron CJ Series PLC? And if so can you please describe the hardware used. I have access to both ETN21 and EIP21 cards if required ---

The current Omron driver is not FINS compatible (Ours are ETN21), so I’m having to use KepWare. No new drivers will be worked on until Ignition 8 is released, as per [this thread](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/omron-driver-for-ignition-update/9879/15?u=jordancclark). I can’t say if you would be able to get useful information using @pturmel’s [Ehternet-I/P driver](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ethernet-ip-i-o-module/12362?u=jordancclark), but it may be worth a look. ---

Thanks, I will check that out. Are you using modbus with the ETN21’s I figured thats the route I would have to go. Read here somewhere that the EIP21 may not support this? ---

We’re currently using KepWare’s OPC Server. ---

The modbus function is done with ETN21. That is one of the option that you can link to the CJ series ---

Hi If I want to connect to CJ2M-CPU13, which kepware driver should I use for serial Port? Is it Omron Host Link? ---

Sorry, was on vacation… The default on the serial port is Toolbus, I think. Changing the serial port to Host Link would be my suggestion, as I son’t remember if KepServer has one Toolbus specific. ---

Ignition has an Omron FINS driver now as well. As long as you have an ethernet-enabled CJ or CS series you should be able to connect. ---

HI @Kevin.Herron, Thank you for your reply. We are going to connect to CJ2M-CPU13 and this CPU doesn’t have Ethernet port only serial port.
