1 GeneralMELSEC PLC has been developed and maintained by Mitsubishi Electric Corp. MELSEC PLC can treat many kinds of CPU types and connection types. Refer to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. website for more detailed information.

FAST/TOOLS have provided to communicate with MELSEC PLC from R9.03 as one of EQUIPMENT/FAST options (Model: EQP-S11-MEL).

You must require to setup MELSEC PLC network configuration. For example, IP address and related configurations are required for MELSEC CPU unit or Ethernet unit. Such MELSEC PLC configuration must be required to refer to User’s manual of MELSEC PLC and/or MELSEC Engineering Tools, GX Developer, GX Works etc., even some information is written in this document.

TI 50A01A30-01EN

3. Configuration in FAST/TOOLS MELSEC equipment

This section shows the procedure to communicate with MELSEC, especially the configurations in FAST/TOOLS.

The basic procedure is following.

1. FAST/TOOLS installation with EQPMEL patch (R10.02)

2. Apply FAST/TOOLS license

3. Setup MELSEC PLC configuration

4. Configuration of MELSEC equipment

3.1 FAST/TOOLS installation with EQPMEL patch (R10.02)

After standard FAST/TOOLS R10.02 installation, you must apply an EQPMEL patch for correct EZSocket installation on later Windows OS environment. This patch is provided for R10.02 and R10.02 SP1 environment. Please contact GSC at [email protected] for requesting the patch.In case you need to connect with MELSEC on R10.01 or earlier versions, also please contact GSC at [email protected].

3.2 Apply FAST/TOOLS licenseMELSEC communication with FAST/TOOLS is provided as one of FAST/TOOLS option licenses (EQP-S11-MEL). So you need a specific license for FAST/TOOLS MELSEC equipment configuration and runtime work. Once you apply a correct license to FAST/TOOLS, you can see “MELSEC” folder in the tree of Engineering Module. (Engineering Module -> I/O Process -> Equipment -> MELSEC)

3.3 Setup MELSEC PLC configurationBefore connecting FAST/TOOLS with MELSEC PLC, some parameters of MELSEC network needs to be configured by MELSEC configuration tool, GX Works, GX Developer etc. Refer to each User manual for required setup parameters

TI 50A01A30-01EN

3.4 Configuration of MELSEC equipmentIn principle, configuration method of MELSEC equipment in FAST/TOOLS is similar to the other equipment, such as to configure Scan types, Lines, Stations and Points. This section describes Lines and Stations especially, because these include some parameters of MELSEC specific configurations.

3.4.1 LinesFor “Line” definition, it’s almost same as the other equipment. Only the point you need to care is the case of “Redundant lines”.Tab [General]

TI 50A01A30-01EN

Appendix B. General procedure of MELSEC setup

Here shows one of general procedures for MELSEC PLC configuration by MELSEC tool.1. Install MELSEC Engineering Tool.

2. Setup MELSEC hardware and set power ON.

3. Connect between PC and MELSEC PLC by USB cable.

4. Read current setup parameters in PLC.

5. Write the parameters to PLC.

6. Set PLC power OFF and Power ON.

Setting up of MELSEC PLC is finished.

Step 1: Install MELSEC Engineering Tool.To setup MELSEC CPU and related parameters, you need to install MELSEC Engineering Tool(s). You can get some MELSEC related tools for this purpose, like GX Developer8, GX Works2 or GX Workd3 etc. Which tool you should use is related to what environment you need to configure. Refer MELSEC User’s manual for each tool for detail.Here uses GX Works2 in this Appendix.

Step 2: Setup MELSEC hardware and set power ON.In case you want to set up a MELSEC Qn-series CPU, you need the following unit is required: base, power, CPU. If your target CPU doesn’t have Ethernet port, Ethernet unit is needed additionally. Attach power, CPU and other I/O units on a base unit and set power ON. More detailed information should be referred to a MELSEC User’s manual.

Step 3: Connect between PC and MELSEC PLC by USB cable.When you install Engineering Tool, USB interface drivers are also installed in most of cases, because most of MELSEC CPU has USB interface to configure MELSEC PLC and I/O units.

Oct. 21, 2016-00


TI 50A01A30-01EN

Step 4: Read current setup parameters in PLC.Start installed MELSEC Engineering Tool and read current setup parameters.

FA0B0001E.ai

To read parameters, the following popup is opened. Here you need to choose your current connection environment. In case of direct USB connection, it’s configured as default. In other cases, set your environment. How to set this popup should be referred to a MELSEC Engineering Tool User’s manual.

FA0B0002E.ai

Once you finish the network configuration, you should click the button “Connection Test”. If the configuration is OK and PLC connection is also OK, you can see CPU type information on successful notice as below.

Oct. 21, 2016-00


TI 50A01A30-01EN Oct. 21, 2016-00

FA0B0003E.ai

Then you click the button “OK” for both on successful notice and transfer setup connection, the new popup is appeared as below.

FA0B0004E.ai

You need to click the button “Parameter + Program” to choose parameters to read and click the button “Execute” for parameter reading.


TI 50A01A30-01EN Oct. 21, 2016-00

Step 5: Write the parameters to PLC.In case you succeed to read PLC parameters, you can see the project tree including parameters as below and edit parameters. Here shows Network parameter configuration. How to configure should be referred to a MELSEC Engineering Tool User’s manual.

FA0B0005E.ai

Here shows IP address setting as Operation setting.

FA0B0006E.ai


TI 50A01A30-01EN Oct. 21, 2016-00

Here shows Protocol setting as Open setting.

FA0B0007E.ai

After configuration is finished, you need to download these updated parameters by “Write parameters” as below.

FA0B0008E.ai


TI 50A01A30-01EN Oct. 21, 2016-00

Then the following popup is opened.

FA0B0009E.ai

You can write the edited parameters by a similar operation to reading.

Step 6: Set PLC Power OFF and Power ON.After writing configuration parameters to MELSEC PLC, it must restart PLC in most of cases as Power OFF and Power ON. You need to pay attention to the time between Power OFF and Power ON. Refer to a MELSEC User’s manual in detail.In case of no configuration errors or mistakes for both MELSEC and FAST/TOOLS, you can connect and read MELSEC PLC data.
