The MitsubishiQ driver implements communication with Mitsubishi Series Q devices on TCP/IP networks. The communications blocks are dynamically created according to the pooling cycle defined on the AccessType for each Device Point.
Communication Driver Name: MitsubishiQ
Current Version: 1.0.0.0
Implementation DLL: T.ProtocolDriver. MitsubishiQ.dll
Protocol: MELSEC
Interface: TCP/IP
PLC types supported: Mitsubishi Series Q devices
Multi-threading: User configurable
Max number of nodes: User defined
PC Hardware requirements: Standard PC Ethernet interface board
Channel Configuration
Protocol Options
BlockSize: Defines the maximum amount of items per group. The default value is 255
Format: Defines the MELSEC protocol format. Default value is 3E
Node Configuration
Station Configuration
Station syntax: <IP address>;<Port number>
Where:
- <IP address> = The IP address of the Mitsubishi device in the network
- <Port number> = The TCP port where the Mitsubishi device is listening (default is 5001)
E.g.: 192.168.1.101; 5001
Point Configuration
The syntax for the MitsubishiQ communication points is: <Operand><Address>
Where:
- <Operand> indicates the memory area in the Mitsubishi device:
| Operand | Description |
|---|
| X | Input |
| Y | Output |
| M | Internal relay |
| L | Latch relay |
| B | Link relay |
| F | Annunciator |
| V | Edge relay |
| SM | Special relay |
| TS | Timer (contact) |
| TC | Timer (coil) |
| CS | Counter (contact) |
| CC | Counter (coil) |
| TN | Timer (present value) |
| CN | Counter (present value) |
| D | Data register |
| R | File register |
| SD | Special register |
- <Address> indicates that address that communicates.
E.g.: D500, Y05
Troubleshoot
The status of the driver's execution can be observed through the diagnostic tools, which are:
• Trace window
• Property Watch
• Module Information
The above tools indicate if the operations have succeeded or have failed. A status of 0 (zero) means communication is successful. Negative values indicate internal driver errors, and positive values indicate protocol error codes.
MitsubishiQ error codes:
| Error | Name | Causes | Solutions |
|---|
| -203 | INVALID COMMAND | Device returns error in the last command | Use the Trace window tools to save the log and send it to support |
