I want to use a Digi One-IAP to provide Ethernet connectivity to an Omron CJ1M. The RS232 port is connected to an HMI, but the Peripheral Port is free.
I can go on-line with it through the Peripheral Port.
In order to use the Digi One-IAP, I have to change the Peripheral Port mode to HostLink. It's currently ToolBus. Can I do this by switching the PLC to programming mode, or do i have to download a modified program to the PLC? If I change the mode while on-line, will I be able to go back on-line if something happens? I'm not 100% comfortable with Omron. I'm afraid that changing the mode to HostLink may prevent the "Auto On-line" feature in CX-Programmer from detecting the PLC.
