Mitsubishi Melsec-L-ASCII (Gen1.3)

review the following information for setting up and configuring the mitsubishi melsec l ascii (gen1 3) driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series melsec l replaced with gen 2 driver mitsubishi q/l ethernet docid\ af6ut40eqjqt35y6enwnr to set up and configure this device in litmus edge, you will need to 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 note only one connection is allowed per port defined in the plc see the steps below to view and edit the open ports on the plc 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 mitsubishi melsec l26cpu pbt when creating a new project file in the software or reading from the plc, the device model is l02cpu p communication i/f ethernet refer to the following figure connect the device to your pc using a usb launch gxworks2 software, and click online > read from plc select the plc series set up connection, and then click connection test from the navigation panel, click parameter > plc parameter > build in ethernet port setting , and set up the parameters from the navigation panel, click connection destination > connection1 click find cpu (build in ethernet port) on network , then pick up the target device click connection test after set up is complete power off and launch the device again to activate any setting changed in the device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid\ pal6abpzbrimdu9lvgj30 with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type mitsubishi driver mitsubishi melsec l ascii (gen1 3) network address the device address you defined in step 1 port 5002 station id 255 step 3 configure the list of registers when you add a tag docid\ tuy hh0gi8djvot70wroh to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters see the following additional resources if necessary organize device and tag data by using metadata docid\ mu 6j6zhi0cvchdad0w8n tag formula variables

table value type select a data type from the drop down list available options depend on the register name selected polling interval enter a value in seconds this determines how often the tag should poll the register for data tag name enter a name for the tag description (optional) enter a description for the tag address enter a tag address the value must in the decimal format within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the device might use the decimal (d), hexadecimal (h), or octal (o) address format see the register table at the bottom of the dialog box for bit tags, append the bit address without the bit separator the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the bit address count enter the number of register values to read a count higher than 1 will generate an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available sin cos sqrt tan 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 to a new one value 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 these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data 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 will cause only one key name to be created (a b)
