TPC-FX MCGS HMI to Mitsubishi FX PLC Communication Cable

Description

The TPC-FX MCGS HMI to Mitsubishi FX PLC Communication Cable TPC7062K and TPC1062K series are Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) produced by AMSAMOTION. These HMIs are widely used for monitoring and controlling various industrial processes. They can be connected to different types of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), including the Mitsubishi FX series. To connect these TPC HMIs to a Mitsubishi FX series PLC, a specific programming cable is required. Below is a detailed guide on the connection process, including the necessary cable, setup, and configuration.

To connect the Delta TPC7062K/TPC1062K series HMI to a Mitsubishi FX series PLC, you need a specific programming cable. This cable enables communication between the HMI and the PLC, allowing the HMI to monitor and control the PLC. The typical cable used for this purpose is the RS422 communication cable, commonly known as the “HMI to PLC communication cable.”

Cable Specifications TPC-FX MCGS HMI to Mitsubishi FX PLC Communication Cable

Type: RS422 to RS485 communication cable

Connector Type:

• One end with a DB9 female connector for the HMI
• The other end with a mini DIN 8-pin connector for the PLC
• Length: Usually available in different lengths (e.g., 1.5 meters, 3 meters)
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for connecting Delta HMIs to Mitsubishi FX series PLCs
• Recommended Cable Models
• Delta Cable Model: Delta offers specific cables for their HMIs, such as the DVPACAB215. This cable is suitable for connecting Delta HMI to Mitsubishi PLCs.
• Third-Party Cables: Cables like the CAB-DVICAB or CAB-FX-D9-8 are commonly used and widely available from third-party suppliers.
• Connection Setup

Connect the HMI to the PLC:

Plug the DB9 female connector into the RS422 port of the TPC7062K/TPC1062K HMI.

Connect the mini DIN 8-pin connector to the communication port of the Mitsubishi FX series PLC.

Power On the Devices:

Ensure both the HMI and PLC are powered on and properly configured.

HMI Configuration:

Use the HMI’s setup software, such as MCGS MCGSPro, to configure the communication settings.

Set the communication parameters to match those of the PLC (e.g., baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits).

PLC Configuration:

Use Mitsubishi’s programming software, like GX Works2 or GX Developer, to ensure the PLC communication settings align with those configured on the HMI. Configure the communication protocol and parameters on the PLC to match those of the HMI.
