Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi PLC's are fully supported in the Hexatec software. The options available ensure that the widest possible range of PLC types can be connected, including A, Fx and Q series.

	Mitsubishi A Series Options
	Mitsubishi FX Series Options
	Mitsubishi Q Series Options

The software can be used in a wide range of projects, from small, single Fx processor based applications, through to large networked installations with many processors.

In-built drivers mean no extra OPC server is required. The connection method will usually be determined by existing installation, the drivers support a wide range of connection methods.

Common Functionality

Communication is by means of serial ports which can be RS232, 422 or 485. Multiple ports are supported for the A & Q series.

Connection cables should be compatible with the selected processor and computer combination.

Mitsubishi A Series (includes Q Series)

'A-Series' processors are accessed via a serial connection and the port settings must be selected to agree at both the PLC and the computer. A wide range of connection options are supported.

Individual PLC's are addressed by 'Station Number', allowing multiple connections when multi-drop connections are used.

Data types supported include:

	X - Bit Inputs
	Y - Bit Outputs
	M - Bit Internal Relays
	L - Bit Latch Relays
	S - Bit Step Relays
	B - Bit Link Relays
	F - Bit Annunciators
	T - Bit Timer Contacts
	T - Bit Timer Coils
	C - Bit Counter Contacts
	C - Bit Counter Coils
	T - Timer Values
	C - Counter Values
	D - Data Registers
	W - Link Registers
	R - File Registers

A dedicated command set option is also available.

'Q-Series' processors are supported using the 'A-Series' protocol.

Mitsubishi FX Series

'FX-Series' processors communicate with a fixed serial port configuration, so it is only required to select the port to use.

As only a single PLC connection is supported by the FX protocol, no device addressing is required.

Data types supported include:

	S Contacts
	X Contacts
	Y Contacts
	T Contacts
	M Contacts
	C Contacts
	M (Special) Contacts
	PLSY, PLFY Coils
	OUT T Coils
	PLSM, PLFM Coils
	OUT C Coils
	T Reset
	C Reset
	T Values
	C Values 16 bit
	C Values 32 bit
	D Registers (Special)
	D Registers

An Extended Addressing option is included for processor types which support it.

Note: In all cases, Data Types are chosen to allow access to the particular areas of the processor memory and I/O. In some cases, data is read-only.
