You're connection should be E700 ethernet FX3GE RS485 E700. Have you set it up like this?  If so send the screen captures of you settings for the: the communication settings of the GOT2000 the FX3GE ethernet parameters and serial port the communication parameters on the E700    

You can see this is the software. you can setup 64 station/modules. However some modules occupy more than one station. CC-Link is a network which uses remote stations which have digital inputs and outputs Here are some free e-learnings which will help you understand  http://www.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/assist/e-learning/index.html      

Why didn't you use a simple motion module. Much Cheaper? You can disable the software stroke limit if you enter the same values. If you want to the new Cycle to start with address you will need to program that CHGA  

No you will have to address the device and use an address from the latched range

Does the Scanner support SLMP or MC protocol?

If you are programming the FX5 then you should have installed GX Works 3. This means you have the e-manual viewer. Just open that choose update manuals and you will have all the FX5 manual you need. This software will searches much quicker than through pdf and has cross links through multiple manuals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xlm7BnyJnA But If you want a regular pdf: http://app.mitsubishielectric.com/app/fa/download/search.do?kisyu=/plcf&mode=manual      

install the driver. It should have been installed when you installed the softare. Have you tried updating the driver and maybe try another USB cable

Juts open your PLC parameters in GX and take a loot at the devices defined for latched. second Tab. All latched devices retain their values due to the battery inside when power is off

Use latched devices!!!

It's mostly the same.

Pre-defined protocol is inside GX Works 2 but if your HMI only supports Master this won't work. Can't you use a GOT ?

Do you know how to create a button to get to the utillities of the GOT

Can you ping fom GOT to PLC? This is a function you can access via the utilities. Have you tried another cross cable ?

Looks fine.   Are you connected to a switch or is it a direct cable between GOT and FX? If it's switch is anything else connected ? Can you ping the PLC from the GOT or vice versa?  What do the ethernet diagnostic say from the PC side?

Ok you are using the FX3GE so the port should be 5556 (port 5551 is for the ethernet module on the right side) Can you change the GOT station number of the GOT to 2. (You should prevent having the same station numbers for GOT and PLC. Lastly Did you create a MELSOFT connection in the ethernet parameters in GX Works 2?  

I don't expect this would impact the the GOT. The video's would be store on the SD card and you will only run them before operation. 

Download the built in ethernet manual. And read chapter 7 and 6 if you want to use the pre-defined protocol function as modbus Client. QnUCPU User's Manual (Communication via Built-in Ethernet Port) Does the  AdvancedHMI support modbus server (slave) or only Client (master)?

Change the port number to 5556

If you need a modbus server on the PLC side you will need add modbus module.  QJ71MT91

MAPS is a Mitsubishi Adroit process suite  https://eu3a.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/en/products/hmi/scada/ You can use this as a standard SCADA but also you can also work object orientated and generate the PLC code and faceplates. They have some great tools integrated like OEE but also HTML5 web (performance anywhere). The list price in NL for an Unlimited OEE License is € 5794 you will also need a normal server license but you only need a few IO signals from the PLC. If you need some specific info just send me a PM

The first is just the slave nr. so this will start at 1 and will increase by 1. The this is that each slave station can can occupy 1-4 stations this is where the second number comes is. This is the actual station nr which is setup on each node. So first station will always be 1/1. (let say this station occupies 4 stations than the next slave station nr 2 will be addressed as station 5. => 2/5 because thi first station is  1,2,3 and 4. But If there is an error is your system you can easily find out which slave stations it is by going to your CC-Link diagnostic screen via GX- .....  

Are you setting up a new system or is this an existing system. Because you have a forced stop signal.  Is the forced stop signal wired to the amplifier or the motion module?

Ian, You will need to display this Data anyway, Why don't you use use MAPS (SCADA) this has OEE calcluation feature built in and also easy Database functionality. The OEE is very easy to setup you only need a few tags from the PLC, the machine production specification and set-up the work shifts that are used at the site. All the reports can be accessed via the IIS and is real time OEE data can be displayed on a scada page.  If you need more info let me know. When your customer sees the actual OEE data it should be an easy sell for Alarm alarm management so he can improve these figures/his production.

The Melsoft  Navigator has a (Batch Read) function for reading all the current running project at once.  This will still use GX Works and GT works but will make it easy for someone to read all projects without opening the actual project. Doucle click on workspace file. Online => Batch read => Read Alternatively you can also run a program that copies all your key strokes and create a file you only have to run which will then automatically does all the settings automatically.

probably but it shouldn't be necessary. How can you be certain that this isn't the case  ? Are you sending continuously or do use a bit to send data.
