BCNet-FX is a new type of Ethernet communication processor, designed to meet the increasing informatization requirements of factory equipment (equipment network monitoring and production management). It is used in Mitsubishi FX1S/1N/2N/3S/3G/3GC /3U/3UC series PLC Ethernet data acquisition, BCNet-FX supports most SCADA software in the field of industrial control, supports Mitsubishi Ethernet protocol and ModbusTCP two communication methods.
ModbusTCP communication description
BCNet-FX module integrates ModbusTCP communication server, so ModbusTCP clients, such as configuration software supporting ModbusTCP, OPC server, PLC and software developed in high-level language for ModbusTCP client, can directly access the internal data of Mitsubishi FX series PLC The Modbus protocol address has been mapped to the address area of the FX series PLC by default in BCNet, and the implemented function numbers include: FC1, FC2, FC3, FC5, FC6 and FC16.
Host computer communication configuration
(Take Siemens configuration software WINCC as an example)
Open the Wincc software, create a new project, right-click “Variable Management”, select “Add New Driver Connection”, select “Modbus TCPIP.chn” in the pop-up dialog box, and click “OK”.
Right-click “Modbus TCPIP/IP Unit #1” and select “Connection to New Driver”, create a new name, click “Properties”, a dialog box of properties will pop up, select “984” in “CPU Type”, and select “984” in “Server Type”. ”, fill in the IP address of BCNet-FX, and click OK.
Right-click “Variable Name”, create a new variable, here we create a new D0 variable, please click “Select” to set the corresponding address, a dialog box will pop up, select “4x Holding Register” in “Area”, and fill in “4x” Enter “402001”, note: according to the ModbusTCP address correspondence, the address of D0 is 42001. Since the number of address bits in wincc is 6, 42001 corresponds to 402001 in wincc.
