  1. I have a Siemens HMI 6AV2 124-0MC01-0AX0 in my machine. I want to clone the display on the HMI to PC/Laptop. My question is:
    1. What software that I need for this task?
    2. What kind of interface that I need between the HMI and PC/Laptop (for example ethernet cable, etc)?
    3. Do I need to communicate with PLC connected with HMI or can I just connect with the HMI?

    Thanks in advance for the answer.


  2. Hi all,
    I have finished installing ethernet adapter module FX3U-ENET-ADP on the FX3U-48M PLC. From the ethernet module, i connected it to a wireless router and then i am planning of connecting to the ethernet module using GXWorks 2 on my laptop through wireless router. On the ethernet module, the error indicator LED is on (red). From the FX3U-ENET-ADP, it means that there might be setting or hardware errors. 
    I am asking if i have missed some steps on the installation process and if any of you have experience with similar problems.

    Thanks in advance for the answers.


  3. @Gambit Some additional questions:
    1. To monitor the input/output data in real time, can I use GX Works 2? Or do I need some kind of SCADA software?
    2. Do you have some suggestions for free SCADA software that I can use for that manner, especially if i want to monitor the data via mobile phone?
    3. To transmit the data wirelessly using wireless router, do I need to use Hub (FX3U-ENET-ADP -> Hub -> Wireless Router) or it can go directly to the router (FX3U-ENET-ADP ->  Wireless Router)?

    Thanks for the answer in advance.


  4. Hi all, 
    I want to ask some questions regarding Ethernet Communication with FX3U PLC series. I have 2 PLCs of FX3U series (FX3U-48M and FX3U-64M) and I want to monitor its data (input and output) using ethernet communication in real time. My questions are:

    1. Does FX3U PLC have ethernet port so I can connect it directly to my Laptop/PC?
    2. If no, do I need to use FX3U-ENET-ADP and can it be used for 2 PLC or only 1?
    3. What software do I need to use to configure the communication between PLC and FX3U-ENET-ADP?

    4. Does this configuration change the existing PLC program?
    5. Can i transmit the data wireless-ly using some kind of ethernet to wifi adapter and what additional hardware do i need for that?
