La configurazione del PLC Mitsubishi serie Q e' fattibile attraverso GX-Developer


   Passi preliminari per preparare GX-Developer alla comunicazione con la CPU
   
      Dopo aver creato un nuovo progetto per la CPU Q13UDEH impostare il trasferimento dati attraverso la voce 
      Transfer Setup del menù Online. Nella finestra Transfer Setup:

         -alla riga "PC Side I/F" aprire "Ethernet board" e selezionare TCP dalla 
          combobox "Protocol";
   
         -alla riga "PLC Side I/F" aprire "PLC module", assicurarsi che la voce "Ethernet port direct connection" sia
         deselezionata e impostare l'indirizzo IP del PLC. Se sconosciuto è possibile cercarlo attraverso il bottone
         "Find CPU".

   Passi per la configurazione del PLC per la comunicazione TCP/IP
    
      Espandere il ramo "Parameter" della scheda Project ed aprire "PLC Parameter" con doppio click.
      Nella scheda Built-in Ethernet port:
      
         -inserire l'indirizzo ip della CPU in formato decimale;
         -selezionare "Binary code" nel gruppo Communication data Code;
      
      Cliccare poi sul bottone "Open settings" della finestra Built-in Ethernet port e nella finestra
      seguente impostare la riga numero uno con i seguenti valori
      
            - Protocol: TCP
            - Open system: MC Protocol
            - Host station port No: "numero di porta del PLC per la comunicazione";
