Mitsubishi – Q Series devices

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. 

Summary Information

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:

• <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.
