The leader in industrial automation and control solutions

Introduction

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

Supported Series: Mitsubishi Q series (Q03UDE, Q04UDEH, Q06UDEH, Q10UDEH, Q13UDEH, Q20UDEH, Q26UDEH, Q002UD), Mitsubishi L series(L02, L26-BT), MELSEC-Q/L protocol application to CPU of Ethernet interface or Ethernet module.

Configure the Built-in Ethernet Port Open Setting as follows:

  1. Protocol: TCP or UDP
  2. Open System: MC Protocol
  3. Host Station: 1025 to 4999 or 5010 to 65534

Import Tags:

The Mitsubishi Ethernet tag import accepts symbol files with extension “csv” created by the Mitsubishi GX Works2 (Not from GX Developer).
The “.csv” file can be exported from the Project tree.

  1. Right-click on the Global variable list that need to be exported.
  2. Select “Write to CSV File…”
  3. Select the file name and location.
  4. Open EBPro (EasyBuilderPro) -> System Parameter Settings
  5. Click “Import Tags…”
  6. Select the CSV File.
  7. Check the imported tags.
  8. Import tag information successfully.

Wiring Diagram

NOTE: Connect HMI to PLC using a standard Ethernet straight-through cable (CAT5e or CAT6).

The diagram below shows the Ethernet cable wiring.
