Introduction
All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with a Mitsubishi iQ-R Series (Ethernet). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.
Supported Series: Mitsubishi R00/ R01/R02/R04/R08/R16/R32/R120/R04EN/R08EN/R16EN/ R32EN/ R120EN/ R08P/ R16P/R32P/R120P/R08SF/R16SF/R32SF/R120SF/R08PSF/R16PSF/R32PSF/R120PSF CPU Ethernet Module, M80 CNC Controller

PLC Settings
- Setting Method: Use IP Address
- Online Change: needs to be set to enable
- Communication Data Code: Binary
- Opening Method: do not open by program
Ethernet Configuration
To connect PLC with multiple HMIs, Port No. must be set. In GX Works3, the setting steps are: Project → Parameter → R04CPU → Module Parameter → Ethernet Port → Setting Item → External Device Configuration → Detailed Setting
Remote Password Setting
Set a remote password and a target connection in the engineering tool, and write the data to the CPU module.
Navigation Window → [Parameter] → [Remote Password] → [Remote Password Setting] Screen

Limitations
- Structure in structure and array in structure are not supported.
- If TN, CN, LCN, SN and other addresses are used in the structure, three members of Contact, Coil, and Current Value will be automatically generated.
- The String type will end with
0x00. If the length is set to 16 words, then a complete string will be 17 words in length. -
