Pay close attention to the configuration details, and limitations provided in this topic. The Mitsubishi CPU types each have specific communication nuances that must be considered.

This help file includes setup information for the Mitsubishi Melsec FX PLCs. It includes two drivers: Mitsubishi FX-1N(C)/2N(C)/3U(C) (CPU) and Mitsubishi FX Series CPU.

The Mitsubishi Melsec FX series PLC's all have a one serial communications port to which the C-moreCrystal reports download free trial. connects. The serial communications parameters are fixed for this port, therefore there is no setup in the PLC. The parameters in the C-more Panel Manager are also fixed with the exception of the Timeout and Poll Time.

The C-more panel is the master when communicating with a Mitsubishi PLC.

Note: Remember to power cycle the PLC after making changes to the communication port settings.
