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 PLCs:
| Icon | Tag Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Mitsubishi Melsec UDP/IP channel | 1.1 | A connection to a Mitsubishi Melsec device using the UDP/IP protocol. |
|
Mitsubishi Melsec serial channel | 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. |
The Mitsubishi Melsec tags you configure provide the instructions to the Mitsubishi Melsec Driver of what to scan and how often to scan.
The Serial Device Configuration Walkthrough provides step by step instructions on configuring tags manually.
You can use these IO Data Tags to represent individual data points in the PLC:
| Icon | Tag Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
IO Analog Data Tag | 3.12 | Maps an analog tag to an external data source. |
 |
IO Digital Data Tag | 3.12 | Maps a digital tag to an external data source. |
 |
IO Word Tag | 3.12 | Maps a 16-bit unsigned integer tag to an external data source. |
 |
IO Double Word Tag | 3.12 | Maps a 32-bit unsigned integer tag to an external data source. |
These autodetect wizards are supported by the Mitsubishi Melsec driver:
| Wizard | Description |
|---|---|
| Mitsubishi Serial | Searches serial ports for Mitsubishi PLCs. Supports Q Series, QnA Series, A Series and FX PLCs. |
| Mitsubishi Ethernet | Searches an Ethernet network for Mitsubishi PLCs. Supports Q Series, QnA Series, A Series and FX PLCs |
