1. Mitsubishi Q Configuration
1.1
Mitsubishi Q PLC
Mitsubishi Q Series PLC are modular type PLC with Ethernet port and other
types of connectors depending on the modules.
The MitsuQ driver will connect and read data directly from the PLC using the
Ethernet port. The driver is listed in the TCPIP drivers.
1.2
Module Settings
To make sure the PLC is connected properly to your computer and change the
settings you need to install the Mitsubishi GX software.
In GX Developer create a new project and select Q type CPU.

Then setup the network parameters to test the connection
For the PC select “Ethernet board” and set the network to 1 (or another
number if your PLC doesn’t have the default settings) and choose a Station
number different from 0.

For the PLC select “Ethernet module” and type the IP address of your PLC.
Set “Other station” to “Single network” and “Network route” to “Ethernet”.
You can now test the connection and validate the settings.

Then go to “Open settings” to set the transaction options. Depending on the
software version the pairing option will be named “No Pair” or “Disabled”.
Please note the port number. The default port should be 5001 which in Hexa
becomes 1389 (the port number is in Hexa in the settings page).
Now download the updated settings.

2. WebAccess Configuration
2.1
Port
The MitsuQ protocol uses a TCPIP port. Unlike Serial Ports multiple
connections (and therefore multiple WebAccess TCPIP ports) can be opened
on the same physical IP port.
2.1.1
Check the port number
For TCPIP ports the port number does not impact the driver. It is used to
recognize the port inside WebAccess. You can choose any number bellow 64
but you should make sure that the port number does not correspond to a
serial port on your computer (As the port number for serial connections must
match the comport number in your computer).

2.1.2
Mitsubishi Q
WebAccess Comport Page
Open your WebAccess Configuration and select the SCADA node you want to
add the device to. Then select “Add a new Comport”
All the settings in this page must match the settings in all the modules
attached to the port. So all the modules attached to the same comport must
have the same settings.
2.1.3 Comport Number
Choose any available comport number
2.1.4 Description
This is an optional field used for user reference.
2.1.5 Scan Time
This is the time in milliseconds to scan the Devices. This must match the
ability of the device to respond. A typical scan rate is 1 per second.
If the Device cannot respond as fast as the SCAN Time entered, WebAccess
will scan at a slower rate.
2.1.6 Timeout
With a 1 second scan rate, a typical Time Out = 200 Milliseconds.
Version 7.0 rev 0a
Advantech Corp., Ltd.

WebAccess Configuration Manual
Mitsubishi Q
Timeout is the time waited before re-sending a communications packet that
did not have a reply.
Timeout specifies how long the software waits for a response to a data
request, specifically to wait for a reply from one packet. A recommended
value is one-fifth the scan rate, longer if the communication device is slow.
Combined with Retry count, Timeout also determines time to consider a
device or port as BAD. Timeout is the time to wait since last communication
packet sent without a reply. Time is in milliseconds. Slow or poor quality
communications require longer timeout. The faster the communications, the
shorter the timeout required. Shorter timeouts result in faster reconnects
after communication failures.
2.1.7 Retry Count
A typical Retry count = 3.
Number of times to retry communications if no reply is received from a device.
Combined with Timeout, also determines time to consider a device or port as
BAD.
This is the number of times after the first attempt has failed that
communication should be attempted before indicating a failure. (If Retry
count is 3, a total of 4 failed requests have occurred before tags are marked
bad). Specifically, this is how many times to send a single packet after the
field device fails to respond to the first packet. After the retry count is
exceeded, all the tags in the packet are marked with asterisks and the next
packet of requests is sent. A reasonable value is 3 to 5 times. After this
number of tries, the tags in this packet are marked as "fail to respond" (i.e.
asterisks) and are disabled. In reality, increasing the number of retries hides
failures on the part of the field device to respond to a request. Essentially,
increasing the retries gives the field device more chances to reply.
2.1.8 Auto Recover Time
A typical Auto Recover Time = 60 Seconds.
Auto Recover Time is the time to wait before attempting to re-establish
communications with a BAD device or port.
If communications to the PLC is unusually slow due to hardware,
communications or network issues, you might consider increasing this value.
If communications to the PLC or RTU fails frequently, you may want to
decrease this number in order to have WebAccess try to re-establish
communications sooner.
If communications to the PLC, RTU or device Fails (i.e. exceeds Timeout)
WebAccess will wait the Auto Recover Time before trying to re-establish
communications.

2.1.9 Backup Port
The Backup Port has not been tested for Adam 6K
2.2
Device
Then Go to the port page and select “Add a new device”. Select the ADAM6K
device Type.
2.2.1
Unit Number
The Unit number is not important for TCPIP communication as it is replaced
by the IP Address. Just select any available unit number.
2.2.2
Port Number
The port number should match the one set previously so if you entered 1389
in the PLC you should type 5001 here.
2.2.3
Use UDP
As we set a TCP type transaction set “Use UDP” to 0. It is also possible to use
an UDP transaction but the settings are different.

2.2.4
Mitsubishi Q
Network No.
The network number in WebAccess should match the one in the PLC. The
default network number is 1.
2.2.5
PC No.
The PC station number should be set to 255.
2.2.6
Destination IO#
The destination IO address should be set to 1023 if it was not changed in the
PLC.
2.3
Block
There are no Blocks defined for MitsuQ driver but users can define their own
blocks if necessary.
2.4
Tag
If you do not use all the channels in the device and you want to reduce your
tag count you can add the parameters one by one using “Add tag”.
2.4.1
Parameter
The parameter gives the type of tag you want to import. Try to select a
parameter as close to the tag type as possible because it will fill the other
option with the default parameters.
In MitsuQ all the available types have been put to the parameter list so by
choosing the correct one all the other fields are set automatically. And the
address template is given

2.4.2
Mitsubishi Q
Address
The address is composed of letters giving the data type followed by the
position in the memory containing that data type.
2.4.3
Scaling Type
If the data sent by the module is not in a human readable unit you can use
the scaling to change the unit and display a more convenient unit in the node.
In most cases a linear scaling type will be sufficient.
2.5
Supported Block List
There are no predefined blocks in the MitsuQ driver.
