HOW TO DOCUMENTS
SELECT YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE
When specifying VSD size and power ratings, consider the operating profile of the load it will drive. Will the loading be constant or variable? Will there be frequent starts and stops, or will the operation be continuous?
SETUP YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE FOR VARIABLE TORQUE APPLICATIONS
E.g., Centrifugal Pumps and Fans Variable torque loads require much lower torque at low speeds than at high speeds. The torque required varies as the square of the speed and the horsepower required varies as the cube of the speed. For simple Variable Torque operation of your VSD, set the following parameters to meet the load specifications. (400VAC Example)
SETUP YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE FOR CONSTANT TORQUE APPLICATIONS
e.g., Traction drives, Compressors, Conveyors, Positive Displacement Pumps, Mixers and Hoists.Applications with constant torque are applications for which the load is typically not significantly altered by the speed. FR-A800 / FR-E800 / FR-E700 / FR-D700 / FR-CS80 For simple Constant Torque operation of your VSD, set the following parameters to meet the load specifications. (400VAC Example)
DIRECT CONNECT TO MITSUBISHI IQ-R AND IQ-F PLC USING GX WORKS3
This function is used to connect to an iQ-R or iQ-F PLC when there is a direct connection between PLC and a peripheral device. Note: The IP setting of the PLC is not needed, and the peripheral device does not need to be in the same range, but this will only work with the direct connection function.
CONNECT TO A MITSUBISHI IQ-F OR IQ-R PLC (NON-DIRECT CONNECTION) USING GX WORKS3
This function is used to connect to a PLC via a hub or switch.
CONNECT TO A MITSUBISHI IQ-F VIA ETHERNET SWITCH
Make sure your peripheral device is in the same IP range as the controller you are connecting to.
DOWNLOAD A PROGRAM FROM A MITSUBISHI IQ-F OR IQ-R PLC IN GX WORKS3
This function is used to download a program from the PLC to your personal computer in GX Works3. To do this you would need the password, if applicable, and have an established communication with the PLC.
SETUP COMMUNICATION TO MITSUBISHI GOT SIMPLE IN GX WORKS3
In GX Works3, after navigating to Ethernet Port and setting the network related settings (check settings with your network administrator) click on “Detailed Setting” under “External Device Communication” to access the next menu.
SET UP AN ETHERNET (UDP) CONNECTION BETWEEN A PLC AND GOT USING AN QJ71E71-100 ETHERNET
Open your Gx-works project. Parameter -> Network Parameter -> Ethernet/ CC IE / MELSECNET
Fill in the fields as per the example in Figure 1.
SETUP YOUR PID FUNCTION IQ-F SERIES PLC (FBD/LD) FX5U / FX5UC / FX5UJ
A PID controller is an instrument used in industrial control applications to regulate temperature, flow, pressure, speed, and other process variables. PID (proportional integral derivative) controllers use a control loop feedback mechanism to control process variables and are the most accurate and stable controllers.
SETUP YOUR PID FUNCTION IQ-F SERIES PLC (LADDER) FX5U / FX5UC / FX5UJ
A PID controller is an instrument used in industrial control applications to regulate temperature, flow, pressure, speed, and other process variables. PID (proportional integral derivative) controllers use a control loop feedback mechanism to control process variables and are the most accurate and stable controllers.
SETUP THE PWM ON A MITSUBISHI IQ-F PLC USING GX WORKS3
This function is used to drive third party VSD’s, Servo’s, control heating elements, dim lights, etc.
FX5UJ (up to 4 channels)/FX5U (up to 12 channels)
SETUP YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE TO WORK WITH FR CONFIGURATOR MOBILE - FR-A800 / FR-F800 / FR-E800 (BUILD-IN ETHERNET COMMUNICATION)
For communication between FR Configurator Mobile and your VSD, set the following parameters. Please note for full control the VSD must be in NET mode. An external wireless network is required.
SETUP YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE FOR MODBUS SERIAL COMMUNICATION (FBD/LD) FR-CS80 / FR-D700 / FR-E700 / FR-E800 (BUILD-IN SERIAL COMMUNICATION)
For Modbus Serial Communication on your VSD, set the following parameters. Please note for full control the VSD must be in NET mode. EXT mode can be used for external control and monitoring the VSD over Modbus Serial.
SETUP YOUR MITSUBISHI VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE FOR MODBUS TCP COMMUNICATION FR-A800 / FR-F800 / FR-E800
For Modbus TCP Communication on your VSD, set the following parameters. Please note for full control the VSD must be in NET mode. EXT mode can be used for external control and monitoring the VSD over Modbus TCP.
UPDATE CPU MODULE FIRMWARE IQ-F SERIES PLC FX5U / FX5UC / FX5UJ Advanced
This function is used when the user obtains the firmware update file from the Mitsubishi Electric FA website and updates the firmware version. For supported CPU version and firmware update function, refer to e-Manual Viewer JY997D55401-3CB. The CPU module firmware can be updated by using an SD memory card. The firmware can be updated only with an SD memory card without using special software.
