I have to try connect plc FX3U with android. In play store, I found modbusdroid app.This app can communicate with PLC using modbus protocol. I already configure Enet-L module like this : Maybe someone can help me? or already try modbusdroid app and success connect with FX3U? Thanx for your advice. Regard Ben

You will need FX3U-ENET-P502 to open for ModbusPort 502. Alternatively if you can change the default port number in Android, you could use the standard Eth module on the FX. Further, which software and language are you using?

can't only Enet-L module? I see in youtube, only use Enet-L module but using gxwork2.. I use Gx Developer.. Or maybe need ladder plc? In modbusdroid can change port number. what do you mean with Software and language?

I'm not familiar with the ENET-L module, is it a left-side module?

OK, found the ENET-L module. First; I don't think there's any GX Developer examples or functionblocks for ModbusTCP. In other words; you must program the protocol yourself (the specifications for the application layer can be found on the internet). Alternatively you can use GX IEC Developer, or GXWorks2 using Structured Ladder and use the function block from Mitsubishi. That's a functionblock which implements the IN/OUT's you need to use the ModbusTCP protocol.

@Gambit: Doesn't work in Norway... Tried searching too but without luck (automatically redirected to Norwegian GooglePlay website)... @Ben'z: You don't add the special module. You need FX Configurator EN to configure the ENET module (same as in GX Developer). Then, as Gambit proposes, use the Android app to communicate directly with the PLC using the FX protocol. Better than to use Modbus in between...
