About This File

The attached file shows how to connect a Mitsubishi iQ-F series PLC to a Intelligent Actuator CON type positioning controller via Modbus RTU.  This is a cost effective solution for on-the-fly position adjustment of a CON controller without the addition of fieldbus protocols to the IAI CON controller.

As of last week, November 30th, 2023 Mitsubishi released their own Function Block for doing this same thing.

This is a well documented solution that performs Jogging, Homing and Positioning Table editing as well as commanding a move to the positions in the table.

However, the solution provided here by Gibson has a few more features such as:

  • Ensuring SIO is enabled
  • Status monitoring
  • Reading the position of the actuator

However the moving in the Gibson libraries can go to any position without having to set the position in the table first.

Both libraries are valuable and have their own strengths.
