Mitsubishi PLC FX5U MODBUS TCP Server

[marylin17]

Hello,
I would like to establish Modbus TCP connection between FX5U and PC computer.
Mitsubishi FX5U will be Slave, PC computer will be the server.
I am using GX Works 3 programming tool.
From FX5 User's Manual (Ethernet Communication) i read that
"The SLMP and MODBUS/TCP are available only in the client."

Is there any way to set FX5U as server?
Any advice, examples or suggestion will be very helpful.

Thank You guys,
marylin17

Here is a previous thread on the same topic:

I would try using AdvancedHMI for the communication. Mitsubishi FX5U will be Slave, PC computer will be the server running AdvancedHMI.

Another option is using EasyModbusTCP. This is a free download and includes a simulator.

Here is a thread on getting data out of a PLC using Modbus TCP.
