Fuji SPH2000 Ethernet

7 min

Review the following information for setting up and configuring the Fuji SPH2000 Ethernet driver. The driver communicates with Fuji Electric MICREX-SX SPH2000 series PLCs over TCP using the Fuji loader command protocol.

Note: This driver is experimental. Some features might not work as expected.

To set up and configure this device in Litmus Edge (LE), do the following:

Step 1: Set up and configure the PLC device

Step 2: Set up the PLC device in Litmus Edge DeviceHub

Step 3: Configure the list of registers

Step 1: Set up and configure the PLC device

If the device is configured for Ethernet access, find its network parameters. Otherwise, follow the steps below.

To configure your device:

Note down the following information and refer to it when needed.

Device: Fuji SPH2000

Communication I/F: Ethernet. Refer to the following figure.

Fuji SPH2000 reference

Set up the IP address. If you don't know the IP address of the device, connect to the device over USB first, and then set up the IP address.

Set up the D300 v3.6.5.10 programming tool.

Right-click your device and select Settings.

Select Ethernet as the communication interface.

Click Online > Project Control.

Step 2: Set up the PLC device in Litmus Edge DeviceHub

Configure the following parameters when you Connect a DeviceConnect a Device with this driver. Update default values to the specific setup of your device.

Parameter	Value
Type	Fuji Devices
Driver	Fuji SPH2000 Ethernet
NetworkAddress	The IP address of the device you defined in Step 1. Default value 192.168.0.1
NetworkPort	The TCP port of the device. Enter a value from 0 to 65535. Default value 507

The following parameters are under Advanced Parameters.

Parameter	Value
KeepAlive	The TCP keep-alive interval, in seconds. Enter a value from 0 to 7200. Enter 0 to disable keep-alive. Default value 5
ReadTimeout	How long the driver waits for a response, in milliseconds. Enter a value from 10 to 10000. Default value 2000
RetryCount	The number of times the driver retries a failed request. Enter a value from 0 to 5. Default value 0
PauseBetweenRetries	The pause between retries, in milliseconds. Enter a value from 0 to 2000. Default value 0

For the Meta Data, Status Register, and Optional Settings options, see Connect a DeviceConnect a Device.

Step 3: Configure the list of registers

When you Add a TagAdd a Tag to the connected device, see the following register table and tag parameters. This driver does not support browsing tags.

Register table

All addresses are decimal.

Word registers (M, L, SM, S): The address is the word number.

Bit registers (_bit): The address is the word number followed by a two-digit bit number, from 00 to 15. For example, M_bit address 1005 is bit 5 of word M10.

Input and output registers (X, Y): The address is the slot number followed by a three-digit word number. For X_bit and Y_bit, add a two-digit bit number at the end.

Name	Value Types	Access Type	Address Format	Min Address	Max Address	Description
M	uint16, int16	R/W	DDDDD	0	20000
M_bit	bit	R/W	DDDDDdd	0	2000015
L	uint16, int16	R/W	DDDDD	0	20000
L_bit	bit	R/W	DDDDDdd	0	2000015
SM	uint16, int16	R/W	DDD	0	511
SM_bit	bit	R/W	DDDdd	0	51115
S	uint16, int16	R/W	DD	0	99
S_bit	bit	R/W	DDdd	0	9915
X	uint16, int16	R/O	DDDDDD	1	238511	Input word (slot and word)
X_bit	bit	R/O	DDDDDDdd	100	23851115	Input bit (slot, word, and bit)
Y	uint16, int16	R/O	DDDDDD	1	238511	Output word (slot and word)
Y_bit	bit	R/O	DDDDDDdd	100	23851115	Output bit (slot, word, and bit)

Tag parameters

Name: Select a register name from the drop-down list. The available options depend on the names in the register table.

Value Type: Select a data type from the drop-down list. The available options depend on the register name selected.

Address: Enter the register address in decimal format, within the min and max range in the register table. Omit leading zeros. For _bit registers, add the two-digit bit number at the end.

PollingInterval: Enter how often the tag polls for data, in seconds. Enter 0 to disable polling. Default value 1

Tag Name: Enter a name for the tag.

Description (Optional): Enter a description for the tag.

Tag Formula: Enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data. You can use two variables: value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag UNIX time in milliseconds). The following math functions are available:

sqrt

power: power(x) performs the operation 10^x.

log: log(x) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e).

exp: exp(x) performs the operation e^x.

Only Publish on Change of Value: Select the checkbox to publish NATS messages only when the value parameter changes. Change of Value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types. It does not apply to complex types, such as JSON or array. Poll-once topics are not affected by Change of Value settings, and still receive a single message.

Meta Data: Define key-value pairs to add to the device output payload.

Note: If you use special characters in metadata key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload. This can cause two key names to be combined into one. For example, configuring the key names a**b and a&&b creates only one key name (a__b).
