Posted 31 Aug 2015 Hardware & software HMI - Beijer iX T12B / iX Developer 2.10PLC - Mitsubishi FX5U / GX Works3Error HMI shows "Controller 1: Comm err station 0". i.e., The HMI isn't getting a response from the PLC. IP addresses are all correct and ping (and can be programmed) OK. The HMI software PLC comms configuration has a "port" setting - see below. I can't find anything comparable on the the Mitsubishi software. Does anyone know what insight I'm missing here? iX Developer is configured as shown below: Note the port setting above. I can't find any documentation on what the PLC is expecting or what's special about 1025. The PLC is setup as below with GX Works3: Anyone got any ideas how to get the two talking? Many thanks.

Posted 31 Aug 2015 Haven't got my hands on a FX5U, but the driver for the iX is a ENET (it expects a FX3U-ENET module) driver so I doubt that it will work against a built-in FX5U ethernet port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Sep 2015 (edited) Thanks, kaare_t. Here are the options in iX Developer (HMI) and GX Works3 (PLC). Any suggestions on which to try? Mitsubishi UK say that the FX5U is more like a Q-series but iX Developer doesn't have a Q-series Ethernet option. Many thanks.

Posted 1 Sep 2015 I figured it out. PLC configuration using GX Works3 HMI configuration using iX Developer Hit the Controller button ... Hit the Settings button ... 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Sep 2015 Great, obviously the FX5U built-in eth port uses the standard MC protocol (which is great)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 26 Nov 2015 (edited) What model HMI are you using? And is it Ethernet on both HMI and PLC or serial? When you say "Comm. stops" what exactly happens? How do you "reset the controller configuration of the Beijer HMI"? Edited 26 Nov 2015 by Transistor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
