Any Mitsubishi communication module, not listed above, that supports Mitsubishi Melsec Communication (MC) protocol should also work with the driver.
The Mitsubishi Melsec driver provides these tag types to support communication with Mitsubishi Melsec PLC Devices:
| Icon | Tag Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitsubishi Melsec UDP Channel Tag | 1.1 | A connection to a Mitsubishi Melsec device using MC Protocol over UDP. |
| Mitsubishi Melsec TCP Channel Tag | 3.71 | A connection to a Mitsubishi Melsec device using MC Protocol over TCP/IP. |
| Mitsubishi Melsec Serial Channel Tag | 1.1 | A serial port used for Mitsubishi Melsec serial communications. |
| Mitsubishi Melsec PLC Tag | 1.1 | A Mitsubishi Melsec PLC or communications module. |
| Mitsubishi Melsec register block | 1.1 | A block of registers read from a Mitsubishi Melsec PLC. |
To configure a connection to Mitsubishi Melsec PLC, do the following:
The Serial Device Configuration Walkthrough provides step by step instructions on configuring tags manually.
You can use these I/O Data Point Tags to represent individual data points in the PLC:
| Icon | Tag Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 | I/O Analog Data Point Tag | 3.12 | Maps an Analog Data Point Tag to an external data source. |
 | I/O Digital Data Point Tag | 3.12 | Maps a Digital Data Point Tag to an external data source. |
 | I/O Word Data Point Tag | 3.12 | Maps a 16-bit Word Data Point Tag to an external data source. |
 | I/O Double Word Data Point Tag | 3.12 | Maps a 32-bit Double Word Data Point Tag to an external data source. |
 | I/O Long Word Data Point Tag | 3.48 | Maps a 64-bit Long Word Data Point Tag to an external data source. |
These autodetect wizards are supported by the Mitsubishi Melsec driver:
