Mitsubishi device definition


The task of device definition fits into the overall process as follows:

  1. Installing your hardware.
    Your device and network installation will determine the devices that must be defined.
    The detailed installation of your hardware is beyond the scope of this documentation.
  2. Configuring your hardware using the Mitsubishi GX Developer, GX Works2, GX Works3, or FX Configurator programming tools.
    The entire capability and usage of the Mitsubishi programming software is beyond the scope of this documentation.
    The section, Using Mitsubishi configuration software, contains information specific to the configuration of the different Mitsubishi devices using the Mitsubishi programming tools.
  3. Installing the runtime software and Workbench.
    Refer to the appropriate Installing product software section for installation information.
  4. Ensure the node has the Mitsubishi driver package installed and the required license to enable the Mitsubishi driver functions.
    1. For information on how to add the Mitsubishi driver package, refer to System Administration > Packages.
    2. For information on how to install a license, refer to System Administration > Licenses.
  5. Using the Workbench to define devices.
    This task is described in the following sections.

There might be differences between your Workbench windows and the example windows shown; however, the functional capabilities and logic flow will be similar.
