Configuring the Device Addressing Tab (SLMP Scanner)

The SLMP Scanner Device Addressing tab is used to define the PLC/MC or Robot Controller device addresses and the sizes for the various data blocks to be communicated to the PLC/MC or Robot Controller. The Device Type and size of the data blocks vary, depending on the Controller Type (iQ-R/Q/L Series, iQ-F Series, FX Series or CR800-D Series) defined in the Settings tab.

Name of the data block that can be communicated to or from the Mitsubishi PLC/MC or Robot Controller.

Defines the Mitsubishi PLC/MC or Robot Controller device that is used to read or write the data block. The drop-down list includes the following options:

Device Type Format PLC/MC Robot Controller
iQ-R/Q/L Series (3E Frame) iQ-F Series (3 E Frame) FX Series (1E Frame) CR800-D Series (3E Frame)
X - Input Relay* Bit X X X  
Y - Output Relay* Bit X X X  
M - Internal Relay* Bit X X X  
L - Latch Relay* Bit X      
F - Annunciator* Bit X X    
B - Link Relay* Bit X      
D - Data Register Word X X X X
W - Link Register Word X      
R - File Block Register Word X      
ZR - File Register Word X      
R - Extension Register Word     X  
S - State Relay* Bit     X  
 *Only Supported by the Control and Status data blocks.
Note:
  • When Selected Device is set to None, restart the In-Sight vision system once the SLMP Scanner settings are configured or changed.
  • If None is selected, the data block will not be communicated.
  • The Time Value and Counter Value devices are not supported.

Defines offset within the device table to read or write the data block. The offset value should be entered in decimal, hexadecimal or octal, depending on the Selected Device type.

 *Only Supported by the Control and Status data blocks.

Defines the size of the data block that is communicated with the Mitsubishi PLC/MC or Robot Controller. The size is specified in units of PLC/MC or Robot Controller "devices" (words or bits).The maximum data size for the Input Block, Output Block, Command and Command Result varies depending on the selected Controller Type (iQ-R/Q/L series, iQ-F Series, FX series or CR800-D Series).

Block Name Number of Devices
iQ-R/Q/L Series, iQ-F Series, CR800-D Series FX Series
Control 32 bits (read only)
Status 32 bits (read only)
Input Block 4 + Input Data length (Maximum: 960 words) 4 + Input Data length (Maximum: 64 words)
Output Block 12 + Output Data length (Maximum: 960 words) 12 + Output Data length (Maximum: 64 words)
Command 0 - 960 words 0 - 64 words
Command Result 0 - 960 words 0 - 64 words
Note:

The iQ-R/Q/L series, iQ-F series and CR800-D Series can handle most message frame formats currently available (3E frame). However, the FX Series can only handle the first generation of the protocol message frame (1E frame), and the amount of data that can be transmitted in a packet is limited.

  Maximum Data Size

Batch Read Bits 7904 bits 256 bits
Batch Read Words 960 words 64 words
Batch Write Bits 7904 bits 160 bits
