Wiring Diagrams

Use the RS422 to RS232 PLC programming cable shown below.

Mitsubishi QnA Series PLC connected to an HMI RS-232 port via the Mitsubishi RS422/RS232 Converter Cable.

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

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