The address for Mitsubishi FX Series is specified thus:

<Instrument Name>,<Address Offset >

 

< Instrument Name > is the name that you wish to call it – this is ignored by SpecView for the purposes of ‘talking’ to the FX PLC.

 

< Address Offset > is a hexadecimal offset value to be used when you need more than one data type for a given instrument e.g.

 

Your ladder program uses 17 Outputs for an instrument that you call “Inst1”. Then you need 2 Output blocks as each only holds 16 Outputs, the first would have no address offset and the second would have hexadecimal 10 (16 in decimal) as the Outputs run from Y0 to Y15, so you would specify 2 Outputs thus:

1. Inst1

2. Inst1,10

 

Your ladder program uses 33 Inputs for an instrument that you call “Cooler”. Then you need 3 Output blocks as each only holds 16 Outputs, the first would have no address offset and the second would have hexadecimal 10 (16 in decimal) as the Outputs run from Y0 to Y15 and the third would have hexadecimal 20 (32 decimal), so you would specify 2 Outputs thus:

1. Cooler

2. Cooler,10

3. Cooler,20
