I don't know...

OK, I see. Check then post the cable pinout DB9F-MiniDin8M, that I could check it and say anything. *3 wires are enough to obtain connection and communication between RS232 (PC side) and RS422 (HMI side)

Ladislav, even did I talk about SC09 cable? If it was suitable for this purpose, I would recommend an alternative option without soldering. The cable between the PLC programming port (MiniDIN8F) and the panel port (MiniDIN8F) is a crossover.

What tools do you use for the interface connection?

You will need to solder a simple cable, using DB9F and MiniDIN8-male connectors; to have a USB-to-Serial (DB9M) converter and to have a MAC Programmer+ software for Windows or a MAC Programmer for DOS. http://www.aced.co.nz/Resources/Mitsubishi/Mac10Mac12.pdf

Lets talk via PM. It would be easier to discuss in Russian. 

Keep in mind, the reliability of OWEN PLCs is in times lower than Mitsu provide, while I suppose the application requires the use of reliable equipment. If you're looking to the side "ПЛК100-ТЛ", rather it belongs to the class of intelligent relays than to a PLC.   

It supports -101 or -104 and doesn't support -103

Mitsu does not have, but the appropriate communication driver can be written.

Then look to the configuration, I've posted above.

How many discrete I/O points must you have? 

Hi, Don't know is it possible with Medoc software, but with GX Developer it's possible exactly.

Hi Ron_S! Happy New Year and thank you for the information! The most manuals, both and knowledge database for MAC E are not available anymore. I've found just one manual, and the procedure, except of PD******* , is not described there. The default password is absent in the manual too. I found one mention about the default password, but that password is longer by one digit... I've already finished the job, so can not access to the HMI for checking... Cheers  

Hi everybody! I should help to upgrade some automation equipment, that has a FX2n and MAC E300 onboard. I.e. all SPS are quite old, obsolete and discontinued in production for a long. So will be useful to make an uploading of program from the HMI, otherwise, when it may die, all autmomation system will  die... However, in contrast to the PLC program, the program in HMI is password protected for upload and download. Excuse for my question, but is there a way to bypass this password without losing an HMI program. Thanks in advance

Hi QG58, I suppose the FX2N does not contain ROM bios, because on my opinion its processor & I/O controllers are implemented using FPGA/PLM technology.

SC11 is a quite new Chinese cable, using a schematic like a schematic, proposed by Sergei Troizky, by else simply - it has only three wires between DB9F & MDN8 and no more. I've tested it recently and it works fine! As about FXTools, it's a product, written in Japan, with English interface. And it was able to upload from Beijer company website, until MEA have not quarreled with Beijer. I can share this software with you 

Ohh... I just showed you a common principle of program code. When program is working in simulation mode, the copyring of X0 to M0 is not active! So with controlling of M0 you are able to control Y0. Other case, you must control the output both using X0 and HMI virtual switch. In this case you should activate another bit from HMI, e.g. M100. And the final code will look like:   LD X0 OUT M0 LD M0 OR M100 OUT Y0  Joe E. has already said you about it several posts above.  

This is not a criticism. Peritonitis is not treated with pills, the appendix is surgically removed.

The situation is really strange. While... Is the program written in STL language? The cause might be there...

Dear Crossbow, It would be too expensive solution for one time action. I can offer another, the cheepest and universal: USB-COM adapter (USB A - DB9M) ,  SC11 cable (DB9F - MDN8) & FXTool_V110 software, that is targeted specially to upload/download backup for MELSEC FX.

P.S. Alas, your question also shows, that, sorry, but you are not a specialist or a bad specialist in PLC programming too. And if you have learned the speciality somewhere, you must learn it again from scratch at another school.

Be so kind to learn the hardware part of PLC, the principles, how it is working, before to ask and to publish the stupid issue. Because it causes a wild laughter and sobbing, instead of giving an answer to it and helping.

All it looks too strange, like a programming error. I'd recommend to clear (to erase) completely the PLC, then to test outputs manually by device test. What software do you use for programming?

If to say about error led, I'd check the battery status (M8005 and M8006 special merkers) and M8004/D8004.
