CitectSCADA Communications with Mitsubishi FX3U-ENET

Open FX configuartor-EN to define the FX3U-ENET ethernetcard And Set module nummer  Module 1 = 2de special module at the right side

Operational settings Select “Binary code” Select “Always wait for open” Give in the IP adress PLC1 192.168.3.1 PLC2 192.168.3.2 Check all setting and save these with End

Operational settings Define one or more ports as MELSOFT connections for GX IEC Developer and FX configutor-EN Define a port for CitectSCADA TCP Unpassive Procedure exit (MC) Portnumber 1300 Check all setting and save these with End

Write settings to the FX3U-ENET Push the Write button Select the right COM-port to connect to the PLC and press OK Push the Write button to download the settings Set the PLC to stop Click OK on the message With Yes the PLC comes back in run Power the PLC OFF and ON to reset the ethernet card

Diagnose via serial Push the Diagnostics button Connection interface is still set to a COM-port Push the Diagnostics button in this window as well Select the different diagositics tabs

Diagnose via ethernet Push the Diagnostics button Change the transfer setup to the IP adress of this PLC Push the Diagnostics button in this window as well Select the different diagositics tabs

GX IEC Developer via ethernet Select the Ethernet board on the PC side Select the Ethernet module in the PLC side Give in the IP adress of the PLC Set the timeout to 5 sec Press Connection test Save these setting by closing all windwos with OK

Operational settings Define one or more ports as MELSOFT connections for GX IEC Developer and FX configutor-EN Define a port for CitectSCADA TCP Unpassive Procedure exit (MC) Portnumber 1300 Check all setting and save these with End
