I can't figure out how CX-Programmer is connecting to this PLC.
- C200HX PLC - in the field.
- Laptop connected to a network via ethernet cable - in an office.
- PLC connection config in project: SYSMAC WAY (COM8)
Opening the project and clicking "Work Online" shows a confirmation for "SYSMAC WAY (COM8)" and it connects successfully.
The thing is, there is no COM8 under Device Manager. Does Omron have some sort of virtual COM port software running in the background that is enabling this connection?
