sv7ds9pjb2q6oel zi3 l to set up and configure this device in manufacturing connect edge, you will need to do the following step 1 set up and configure the plc device step 2 set up the plc device in manufacturing connect edge devicehub step 3 configure the list of registers step 1 set up and configure the plc device note only one connection is allowed per port defined in the plc see the steps below to view and edit the open ports on the plc if the device is configured for ethernet access, find its network parameters otherwise, use plc software on your computer to configure the device for ethernet access open the plc project in gxworks 3 from the navigation panel, click ethernet port to view the communication parameters note down the ip address , subnet mask , default gateway , and communication data code some cpus have an enable/disable online change setting to allow the driver to write tag values to the plc, this setting needs to be set to enable all (slmp) double click external device configuration view the available connections if necessary, add more tcp connections to the slmp connection module note if you modify any cpu or module parameters, you must power cycle the plc after downloading the changes step 2 set up the plc device in manufacturing connect edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid\ rfvijdxz7dbad8mwbisma with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type mitsubishi driver mitsubishi iq f ethernet network address the device address you defined in step 1

the names in the register table value type select a data type from the drop down list the available options depend on the register name selected polling interval enter a value in seconds this determines how often the tag should poll the register for data tag name enter a name for the tag description (optional) enter a description for the tag address enter a tag address the value must in the decimal format, within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the device might use the decimal (d), hexadecimal (h), or octal (o) address format see the register table at the bottom of the dialog box for bit tags, append the bit address without the bit separator the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the bit address count enter the number of register values to read a count higher than 1 will generate an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values length available when you select the string value type enter the number of characters for tag values tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available sin cos sqrt tan power power( x ) performs the operation 10^x log log( x ) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e ) exp exp( x ) performs the operation e^x only publish on change of value select the checkbox to customize nats messages to be published only when the value parameter changes from a previous value to a new one change of value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types it does not apply to complex types, such as json or array poll once topics will not be affected by change of value settings these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload this can cause two key names to be combined into one for example, configuring the key names a b and a&\&b will cause only one key name to be created (a b)
