Hi Gambit, thanks for the reply, I will come up with some code to implement an m coil and see if that works, thank you!

Thanks for the reply, no this does not work unfortunately, I have tried negating the contactor in gxw3 but as i want the light to stay on when not pressed and turn off when pressed this does the opposite because the button on my panel is wired NC.

I am sorry Neverov, I'm not too sure what you mean by that.. just looking for some advice as I am new to HMI's and PLC's and currently doing work experience.

Hi guys, I am using a GT2107-wtsd HMI and a FX5U-32M PLC with gx works3 and designer3, i setup some simple ladder code to test that everything works, but i cannot get a normally closed contact to open when i press the button on the HMI and make the light turn off? screenshot below shows the code and the HMI buttons, when just looking at the HMI screen, all lights should be off with the exception of light number 2 as it is conected to a Normaly closed contact and i want it to open when i press the button on the HMI beside LT2 (light 2). I cant seem to get it to work.. please help, thanks.

You are an absoulte legend and life saver, that last video link you sent was exactly what i was looking for i didnt know i had to manually write to the plc via the laptop ethernet before plugging it into the HMI, thank you so much you saved me a very long day! :D  

I had a look through all those links thank you for the help but what these are showing is how to simulate them together but I am looking to actually physically use the HMI to control the PLC if that makes sense

Hey guys, I am new to mitsubishi software and hardware and i need help connecting to my PLC. My setup goes as following: PC to HMI Via USB HMI to PLC via Ethernet the HMI is a Mitsubishi Electric GOT2000 Gt2107-wtsd and the PLC is an fx5u-32M I dont know how to go about connecting to the PLC so that I can setup buttons and light to make sure everything is working fine, I dont have a full understanding of GX Works 3 and Designer 3 so this is why I am looking for some help please and thank you! pictures below of the whole system.        

thank you so much for the help guys, the updates helped and now i can see it in the GOT type. much appreciate

you are 100% correct, it took a few tries but it started and seems to be VERY slow haha but ill wait it out another 30 minutes it says.

I have signed in but it takes a long time trying to load and then this error appears every time, tried another browser and the same thing, cleared cookies also EDIT: nevermind it decided to work now, thanks!  

That link does not work and keeps redirecting me  

thank you I will update GX works3 also and see if it helps.

you could be right... I will check if there is an updated one and get back to you!

Hi guys, im just looking for some help if possible, I am trying to setup a HMI (2107-wtsd) but GT Designer3 does not have this model nor does it have any 2107 models in the GOT type dropdown. How can i get my model to show? I have tried setting the GOT type as a G2105 and the GT softGOT2000 and these did not work, the HMI is on a white screen with install package data but i cannot do this if it is not in the GOT dropdown correct? I have attached some pictures to show. the HMI is connected to the PLC via ethernet and the laptop is connected to the HMI via usb I am very new to this so we are using test benches so if anything looks wrong i am very sorry
