  1. The setting you're looking for is 4. This will let you get to the setup menu. The settings for the the witches are: 1: Sysload 2: Calibrate touch 3: Dragging Cross 4: SETUP MENU 5: Manual transfer

  2. What about the PLSY instruction? This instruction will output a specified number of pulses at a set freqeuncy. For instance PLSY K1000 D0 Y0 K1000 = 1000Hz D0 = Nr of pulses Hope this helps

  3. This depends on the timer which is used. Normally T0 - T199 are the 100mSec timer which means that if the value is K20 than it's a timer for (K20 *100mS) = 2 Seconds T200 and on are 10msec timer which would mean (K20 * 10msec) = 0,2 seconds. Which timers are 100msec or 10msec can be changed in the Parameters of the PLC

  4. Hi, No there isn't a module for modbus but if you are using GX IEC Developer there is a free FB block which will communicate modbus via a standard RS232 BD board.

  5. You'll need a SC06 set. That's a programming cable with power adapter. I don't think you can make this cable yourself The software Mac programmer plus is not free but is included on the E-designer CD.

  6. K0 is the constant value of 0 K3M26 means 3*4bits from M26 (M26-M38) The instruction here just compares if any of the bit devices M26 - 38 are on. To put is simply if the value of M26 - M38 is higher than 0 The value you see is M26 M27 M28 ....M38 being monitored as a 12 bit vlaue

  7. The PLC you are using is from the FX series, any manual from this series will do. The 24 stands for the total amount of in and outputs. the MR is means you are using relais outputs. You can download the manuals from the www.mitsubishi-automation.com website. You have to registrer to be able to download manuals

  8. If you use GX IEC Developer there is a FB library called ModbMFX. You can download it for free from www.mitsubishi-automation.com. It contains all the info on how to use the modbus protocol over RS485BD

  9. GX Developer is the easiest replacement. You can directly read programs written in melsec medoc dos, mm FX Win and GPP. In the demo software download on this site you can download a free 1000 step version. Download code => Mitsubishi=> demo software

  10. You definitely need GX DP to download the GSD files for the network. Your downloading problem is because you linked the GX DP & GX IEC Developer via MX Change. But the server wasn’t activated. Diagnostic for the Q is simple just go to the autorefresh setting there you can get BFM information direct into dataregisters without using TO & From instr. These wil give info like (BFM 2112 ...) which nodes are online (BFM 2040 ….2079) comm. Problems. This way you don’t have to start the server. If you go to the BMP dir of your installed package you will find bitmaps which you can use although you normally get them with your GSD file
