Plugin installation and configuration

The plugin is delivered in a .zip folder. Unzip it and you will find the library.

• Library_PluginMitsubishiCCLinkAsycube(iQ-R).usl

• Library_PluginMitsubishiCCLinkAsycube(iQ-F).usl

• SYCON project to modify the transmission speed (Baud rate) of the Gateway see Change the transmission speed (Baud rate) of the gateway (Optional) (in the folder Gateway Configuration)

Fig. 124 Content of the library

Installation of the library

1. Click on Project > Library Operation > Register to library List > User Library..

Fig. 125 Import a Library

2. Add the Library_PluginMitsubishiCCLinkAsycube.usl.

Add the register file

1. Add the holding registers to Structured Data Types of your project.

Fig. 126 Add Structured Data Types

2. Add the dbGateway to Global Label of your project. Should you have several Asycube, you can simply duplicate this label or its content. If GX Works 3 asks you to overwrite the registry files, because they are already present, select Yes.

Fig. 127 Add Global Label

Add the Gateways in the configuration

1. Configure your CC-Link module > Required Settings according to below parameters. The default transmission speed of the Asycube Gateway is 10Mbps. Should you want to change it please refer to Change the transmission speed (Baud rate) of the gateway (Optional).

Fig. 128 Required Settings

2. On your CC-Link module > Basic Settings, click on Network Configuration Setting.

Fig. 129 Basic Settings

1. Set the Mode Setting to Ver. 2 Mode and verify the TX Speed. Click on Detect Now.

2. You should now see all the remote station (one per Gateway/Asycube).

3. Check that the parameters are as in Fig. 130.

4. Click on Close with Reflecting the Setting.

3. On your CC-Link module > Basic Settings, click to Link Refresh Settings.

Link I/O

Once the gateway has been successfully integrated into your project, you must assign the registers (data) of the Gateway in the Global Label.

1. Select the dbGateway Label.

2. Click on Detailed Setting of regAsycubeRead.

Fig. 133 Global labels of library

1. When you assign the first address of the device, the following address are automatically completed.

Fig. 134 Address of regAsycubeRead

3. Perform the same operation for regAsycubeWrite.

Connect the registers to the FB

You must use the register variables instantiated in the global variables (regAsycubeWrite and regAsycubeRead) at the input of the different blocks. The variable boConnectionFaultedSB must also be set using the station status variable of your device (1 = remote device disconnected, 0 = normally situation).

Here is an example of an application with the input and output registers filled in.

Fig. 136 Example of integration
