XCNet-FX5U-S is a high-performance protocol conversion gateway, which is used for Ethernet data acquisition of Mitsubishi MELSEC iQ-F (FX5U, FX5UJ and FX5UC) network port PLCs, which is very convenient to build a production management system.
LAN1 of XCNet-FX5U-S will automatically establish a connection with PLC, map FX5U into SLMP (MC3E) server, support ModbusTCP master-slave communication function, without PLC programming. XCNet-FX5U-S can realize the function of NAT address translation, which can map the IP address of the PLC connected to the LAN1 port to any IP address of the LAN2/WiFi interface, which is convenient to solve the problem that the field device cannot modify the IP address.
Integrated WiFi function, supports AP mode, STA mode and AP+STA mode, it is very convenient to build WiFi network, PLC programming, data acquisition, data exchange and cross-network segment access can be performed directly through WiFi.
Technical Features
- Installed on a 35mm guide rail, LAN1 is 4*RJ45, with switch function, this port is connected to PLC, host computer or touch screen; LAN2 is a single-port RJ45, which can be connected to touchpad or host computer system across network segments; WiFi external High-gain antenna can be connected to the host computer; XCNet-FX5U-S is powered by an external 24VDC power supply.
- Integrated WiFi function, support AP mode, STA mode and AP+STA mode.
- PLC programming, data acquisition, data exchange and cross-network segment access can be performed through WiFi.
- Integrate a WEB server, which can set device parameters and run diagnosis through the web page; it can also be configured through the BCDevice tool; it can be configured arbitrarily from the LAN1/LAN2 interface or WiFi.
- Realize the NAT function, which can forward TCP and UDP protocol packets across network segments to achieve access to PLC data in extended network segments.
- Support ModbusTCP server function, can map FX5U into ModbusTCP server, and the mapping relationship between Modbus and Mitsubishi PLC internal soft components can be edited freely.
- Support SLMP (MC3E) server function, can map FX5U into SLMP (MC3E) server, which is convenient for OPC to use Mitsubishi Ethernet driver function.
- Support ModbusTCP master function, can read ModbusTCP slave device (instrument, gateway, etc.) data to FX5UPLC without PLC programming.
- Integrated data exchange function, support data exchange with Siemens PLC, support data exchange with ModbusTCP server, support wired/wireless data exchange between multiple FX5Us.
- The LAN1/LAN2/WiFi interface can support up to 32 host computer access.
- SCADA (upper configuration software) supporting OPC channel communicates with PLC in OPC mode.
- Support firmware update on the user side through Ethernet, provide firmware with more functions for free, buy hardware once, and upgrade permanently.
