  1. Mitsubishi iQ-F (FX5) to IAI CON Controller via Modbus RTU

    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.

  2. Mitsubishi FX3 Series Devices Details

    The attached file is an excerpt from the JY997D16601 manual from Mitsubishi.  A common question asked about these PLCs are which devices are battery backed, how do I set that up and configure it etc.

    With these PLCs there are a pre-defined set of battery backed registers and it changes for each model, FX3S, FX3G and FX3U are all different.
    Some example details:
    Input and Output quantities for each series are shown below, as are M bits, D registers, and T timers.  For more information see the attached PDF file or the full manual.

  6. Display Four Previous Images in In-Sight

    I was recently asked if it was possible to show the last 4 images on a VisionView.  The solution I came up with was to use the LatchImage and ScaleImage functions in Spreadsheet in order to overlay images on top of the main image for display purposes.
    While this has it's limitations, it provided the customer what they needed in their application.
    Overall it looks like this:

    Step 1:
    Create a Count function to keep a rolling count of images:

     
    Step 2: Add Latching Logic (4x), notice this points to our Count cell.

     
    Step 3:  Add LatchImage Functions (4x)

     
    Step 4: Add ScaleImage Functions (4x)

     
    Step 5: Add Text Overlays to indicate which image is which:

     
    Step 6:  Link to the checkbox for turning on/off this display.

  7. Using FileZilla FTP Server to Store Data from a Cognex Camera

    Attached is a PDF that explains how to set up FileZilla FTP Server on a PC so that a Cognex Camera can use the WriteFTP Function to store data over the network.
    Screenshots show how to use EasyBuilder to set up the transfer on the Cognex Camera.
    *** When running an FTP server on Port 21, it may conflict with saving jobs and connecting to your Cognex Camera.  You will need to disable the FTP Server at times if you want to use In-Sight Explorer and edit jobs on your camera ***

  8. iQ-F (FX5U/FX5UC) Modbus/TCP Client via Simple CPU Communications

    The attached PDF and example GX Works3 Project show how to set up your FX5U/FX5UC PLC via parameters to read and write to a Modbus/TCP Server without writing any code.
    This methodology does not work for the iQ-R or FX5UJ CPUs and their built-in Ethernet Port.  For those CPUs please reference the Predefined Protocol function for setting up a Modbus/TCP Client.
    On the iQ-R platform if you purchase an RJ71EN71 network card, you can use the same methodology shown in this setup via the add-on Ethernet module.

  13. Mitsubishi iQ-F Modbus/TCP Master using Predefined Protocols

    The attached file provides a walk-through on using the Predefined Protocol Support function and a Mitsubishi iQ-F (FX5) PLC as a Modbus/TCP Master.  The Predefined Protocol tool provides a power method for talking various protocols where direct functions or function blocks don't exist.  This approach also works on the iQ-R, L series and Q series PLCs.
