Introduction
All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Yaskawa Electric MP Series — Memobus. Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.
Supported Series: YASKAWA MP2200, MP2300, MP2300S, MP9xx communication mudule

PLC Ethernet Setup
Open Module Configuration
Use MPE720 program software, open Module Configuration, then double-click 218IFA.
Enter Transmission Parameters
In Transmission Parameters, enter the MP2300S IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP. In Connection Parameter, set CNO-1 as follows: Local Port =502, Node IP Address =000.000.000.000, Node Port =00000, Connect Type =TCP, Protocol Type =MEMOBUS, Code =RTU.
Configure MECHATROLINK as Master
Click MECHATROLINK to set up the MP2300S PLC as Master.
Save Configuration
Close all dialogs and save the configuration to the MP2300S.
NOTE: Only CNO 01 can auto-communicate with one HMI. Other CNO connections require a ladder program created for communication.
NOTE: DIP SW2-2 of MP2300S must be set to the OFF position during normal communication. If set to ON, the IP address will be erased after a power reset and communication with the HMI will fail.
