Once the controller’s own IP configuration is set, you will need to access the Ethernet port parameters in the software by going to the “External Device Configuration”. In this case, I also have a camera system that works with Mitsubishi and has step-by-step guidelines to get connected that are protocol specific. Once you have your IP addresses chosen for your components, it may also be handy to have associated connection documentation (if available) that may be specific to each vendor in front of you. Image by Paul HuntĪs you can see above, there is a different look and feel between the two software packages. There are many similarities too, but I think the overall feel is much more intuitive (especially in parameter settings) in the newer GX Works 3 software. (see figure 1) Figure 1 -GX2 on Left, GX3 on Right. Of course, you will then use the other M1xxx for your general purpose inputs and M2xxx for outputs.In today's article I'll explain how you setup communications in the Mitsubishi Programming Software, GX Works.įor those coming to GX Works 3 from GX Works 2 (or earlier,) finding the right area to modify the parameters is the first step. You should then be able to initialise your ST Lite unit using M1078, M1079 instead of X1078, X1079 and M2078, M2079 in place of Y1078, Y1079. Similarly BMOV M2000 u0\g352 K10 would make you remote outputs be on M2000 to M2159. So you could BMOV u0\g224 M1000 K10 - that would move the remote inputs (RXs) to M1000 to M1159 (the K10 says it is 10 x 16 bit words, so you are shifting 160 bits) change the K value to copy across only the inputs you are using. Can you still transfer the RX and RYs by TO and FROMs? For example (assuming your BT11N is in slot 0) the RXs are in BFMs 224 to 351 and the RYs are in BFMs 352 to 479. Hello Well, yes, I can see that would be a problem - it appears the auto refresh (automatic transfer of data from the CC-Link master to local devices) is not available under the redundant scheme. I have also tried using X1078, X1079, Y1078 and Y1079 as in the examples assuming it had auto addressed the start at 1000 and not 0000. I have therefore assumed it is starting at X0 and Y0, hence the X78, X79, Y78 and Y79 bits for setting the station. Due to the Q CPU being a hot standby GXW 2 will not let me specify the start IO numbers, which would typically be x1000, y1000 based on their examples. I have tried to do this using the X78, X79, Y78 and Y79 commands as the ST Lite head is set to occupy 4 slots, device ID is set to 1. What I do have, and don't want, is a flashing I/O LED on the ST Lite head which I have been reliably informed means the device hasn't been initialised.
The CC Link has been set up in GX Works 2 and I don't have any ERR lights. Connected to these racks is an ST Lite CC Link head station (STL-BT1) with 10 output cards (DO8) and 14 input cards (DI8).
The system is based around a hot standby CPU (Q12PRH) on 6 slot backplates with a CC Link (QJ61BT11N) and Modbus (QJ71MB91).
I have an issue with a Mitsubishi setup and I really need to resolve this ASAP. Hi, First time posting on here, but been a reader for a while.
