Hello together,
in the next days, I will get a "NIOT-E-TPI51-EN-RE" with a RS485-NPIX for testing with our machine PLCs. Beforehand, I want to know, if there are any experiences in connecting the device to a Mitsubishi FX3 or FX5 via RS485 and how to grab data from the PLC and present them in a OPC/UA-Server?
I'ved tested another EDGE-Gteway which simply used the Mitsubishi called "Computer Link" communication protocol to acquire data from coils and registers of the PLC.
If no specific knowledge is available for this, is a sample for getting data via serial MODBUS connection? Althrough this solution would be second best, because in this case, I have to write the MODBUS communication in the PLC.
Second goal is to write data from the OPC/UA-Server into the PLC. So this would mean, that informations must be written from OPC/UA-Server (Docker) to the MODBUS-Registers. I'm a little bin insecure about this, after reading the manual, due to the strict seperation between containers, operation system(s) and hardware.
Any help is welcome in this state.
Have a fine day, everyday.
