MITSUBISHI FX2N to PanelView 600

[Sanath]

Can I connect Mitsubishi FX2N PLC to a Allen Bradley PanelView 600 Operator Panel

The PV600 has no driver list for mitsubishi, its an AB only plc kinda girl!

 

[JRoss]

You could always write your own driver!

What is the part number of the Panelview? Depending on it's communications protocol it may be able to connect

As TW said, can the Mitsubishi do modbus. You need the right PV

 

[504bloke]

Long time since i did a PV, i forgot about Modbus etc!

I dont think the FX2N has any modbus capabilities but you can get a Profibus FX2N-64DP-M Master adapter for it.

Also it should work fine with Devicenet and there is a slight possibility of it working with Ethernet but would have to dig a little deeper to find out. Need a part number before I do that much digging

Thanks everyone for your valueble comments. I think I can connect PV600 to FX2N by RS232 comms. But in Panelview, How can I refer tags to MITSUBISHI addresses(eg. X, Y, D, M Etc).

 

[TimWilborne]

First we need the part number of that Panelview

 

[Sanath]

Here is the Part Number

2711-B6C16L1
SER B
REV F
FRN 4.00

And Has RS232 & RS232 DF1

I don't believe your MITSUBISHI supports DF1 protocol. But I have never used one. If it doesn't then they are not going to talk.

It would need to end in a 14 to support modbus. You may be able to find an intermediate converter for your application
