  IP address:The IP address of the device on the Ethernet network

  port number: The port number of the MELSEC protocol

  • For a device part of the iQ-R series, the syntax is:

    iqr:<IP address>:<port number>

    where,

    iqr: Identifies that the device is part of the Mitsubishi iQ-R series PLCs

• For direct serial communication, the station ID for a target device must use the following syntax:

  <station number>

  where,

  station number: The station number of the PLC

Examples

Examples of valid station IDs:

• For Ethernet: 10.168.23.73:5001

  • For an iQ-R series device: iqr:10.168.25.74:5002

• Using the station number: 2
