Configure and use of IA OPC.

[Oley Mich]

Hello!

I'd like to use the NI software we purchased to control a Mitsubishi FX-32MR PLC (plus an FX-4AD-TC module).

We currently have NI Industrial Automation OPC Servers v 5.1 installed on a remote PC.

I am connected to an FX PLC via RS-232.

I can find any resources to help me setup and configure the OPC interface.  Need to verify connection as well.

Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong areas.

Once configured, I'll be able to write a LabVIEW program to use the OPC setup, correct?

Is my thinking correct?

Thank You!

First you need to create MitsubishiFX object in IA OPC Server. Make sure that the configuration is correct.

One thing I'm not sure is that this object is based on FX-24MR, not 32MR. I'm not sure if it's compatible. If the protocol is completely same, I think it's ok.

After you create the object, you should not see any alarm messages.

Then, you will be able to use Datasocket in LabVIEW or LabVIEW DSC module to communicate with this OPC Server.
