Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with a Mitsubishi A1S/A2N. Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

Supported Series: Mitsubishi A1S/A2N

Pass-through

When the PC reboots or virtual com port is reinstalled, it needs to be re-initialized for pass-through.

Wiring Diagrams

NOTE: Due to hardware limitations, this PLC is not supported by HMI models without RTS/CTS.

Use the RS422 to RS232 PLC programming cable (shown as follows).

Mitsubishi A series PLC connected via Mitsubishi RS422/RS232 Converter Cable to an MT8000 HMI on COM1 RS-232.

NOTE: The serial port pin assignments may vary between HMI models.
