To configure the MELSEC client, click on the
Ethernet Configuration
tab, check
MELSEC Client
in the protocol dropdown menu to enable the driver, and then
click on the
MELSEC
subtab. This section will discuss how to configure the
MELSEC client.
Scan Rate
This is the time in milliseconds the device will wait between sending requests. If
no additional time is required, set this field to 0.
8.7.9.1
Connection Object Configuration Group
Up to 4 connection objects can be created.
Name
A unique name used for identifying the connection object. Enter a string of up to
16 characters in length.
IP Address
This is the IP address of the MELSEC server (PLC or motion controller, etc.) to
be targeted by the connection object. The
IP Address
and
Port
must be a unique
combination.
Port
This is the TCP port of the MELSEC server that the connection object will
connect to. Enter a number between 1 and 65535 (0x1 – 0xFFFF).
Protocol
This drop-down box designates the protocol for the connection. If SLMP is
selected, the
Frame Type
is fixed to 3E frame.
Frame Type
This drop-down box designates the frame type to use when communicating with
the targeted MELSEC server. If the required
Frame Type
is unknown,
Auto-
Detect
can be selected to automatically determine the frame type when the
gateway establishes initial communication with the server. Once the frame type
has been successfully detected, the gateway will then remember this type and
use it as the initial preference for subsequent connection attempts. If both 3E
and 1E frames are supported by the targeted MELSEC server, then 3E frames
are given priority. Note that the auto-detection procedure may cause a
communication error to be indicated on the server device during the initial
connection attempt, but this error can be cleared by power-cycling the server. To
determine the required
Frame Type
for your equipment, please consult the
MELSEC server device user’s manual or contact Mitsubishi for assistance.
