Device Data Transfer - the best tool you aren't using in your Mitsubishi GOT

[Bryon Sol]

Did you know that your GOT/HMI can act as a go-between for two devices that talk different protocols?

Step 1 is to add your devices that you want to exchange data between. 

For example, a Mitsubishi iQ-R PLC and an Sick Flexi Soft Controller.

Next we add a new Device Data Transfer from the Project tab

Here you can name your transfer and set up the speed of transfer:

Then set up the actual transfer on the Device Tab

 

And end up with something like this:

 

Now the GOT will automatically read the Sick inputs and send the status over to your Mitsubishi PLC.  You don't have to write any logic, just configure the transfers!
