Communication between Mitsubishi FX3U PLC and SCADA via RS485BD

Hi Friends, Here i want share with you a tutorial on how to establish Communication between Mitsubishi FX3U PLC and Elipse SCADA via RS485 BD 


The required Items for the setup is as follows


Sr. no.
Material
1
PLC Type : FX Series
2
CPU      : FX3U
3
Module   : FX3U RS485BD
4
SCADA Make : Elipse
5

Figure Connection between PC(SCADA) & PLC(FX3U)


 The required cables are as follows

 

Sr. no.
Item
Description
1
Medoc cable
(MITSU-CAB2A)
Prog. cable for FX PLC
2
Converter Cables
*1
Comm. Cable for PC ,PLC &
Converter

 *1 To connect the SCADA to the controller the RS 232 to RS 485 Converter  is used. The Converter is having RS422/485 port for connecting to PLC & RS232 port on other side for connection to PC.



As the FX-485BD Port is used, PLC parameter settings are required on PLC side.
PLC Parameter Configuration for Channel1:
1. Baud Rate: 9600.
2. Data Bits: 7 bits
3. Parity : Even
4. Stop Bit: 1 bit
5. Sum Check: Yes
6. Transmission Control: Without CR, LF
7. H/W Type: RS485
8. Station No.: 01

 Tag Addressing Parameters:
 

The Tags are generated by using N1-N4 parameter settings as follows:
 

N1: Station Number (e.g.: 1)

N2: CPU Number (normally 255)

N3: Variable Type (e.g.: 14 for D Register)

N4: Variable Address (e.g.:10 for D10 Register)

Scan: User Defined
