I have a communication problem between the V10/V9 and Mitsubishi Q series CPU via Ethernet unit.
Please check the settings below:
Screen program settings:
[System Setting] > [Hardware Setting]
- Select [QnH (Q) series (Ethernet)] at [Device Select].
- [Device Select] > [Target Port no.] and select appropriate port to connect.
For the V10/V9's built-in LAN port, select [LAN].
(For the V10/V9 with an extra LAN port, [LAN2] option is also available.)
For connection with the V9's optional Ethernet unit (CUR-03), select [LAN unit].
- [PLC1 Property] > [Property] > [Target Setting] > [PLC Table] and set an IP address and a port number of the PLC.
* Set the same IP address and Host station port No. as the PLC settings
described in the section below. - Select the PLC for connection from those registered on the PLC table at [PLC1 Properties] > [Target Settings] > [Connect To].
(Valid only for 1 : 1 connection)
PLC settings:
Set [Network Parameter] of Mitsubishi's programming tool.
Network Parameter
Network type: Ethernet

IP address and other settings must be made here.
Port No. setting
For an Ethernet unit, there are two different ways to set port numbers. With the [Automatic open UDP port] setting, communication is performed without discriminating between connecting units. With the [Open setting] setting, communication is performed only with units for which a connection has been established.
- Automatic open UDP port:
The port number is changed using the ladder. The default setting is 5000 (DEC). - Open setting:
[Open setting] under [Network Parameter]
Protocol | UDP |
Fixed buffer | Send or Receive |
Fixed buffer communication procedure | Procedure exist (MC protocol) |
Host station Port No. | PLC port number (Set the same port number as the orange frame in the figure of [Hardware Settings] in the "Screen program settings" section.) |
Transmission target device IP address | IP address of V10/V9 series unit |
Transmission target device Port No. | Port number of V10/V9 series unit (Set the same port number as the blue frame in the figure of [Hardware Settings] in the "Screen program settings" section.) |
IP address of V10/V9 series unit
When specified in the screen program
Select the [Set IP] checkbox located at [System Setting] → [Ethernet Communication] → [Local Port Address] → [LAN] tab and set the IP address.
Leave the port number with the default value of "10000".
(This port number is used for reading and writing (EREAD/EWRITE) between MONITOUCH units and is unrelated to PLC communication.)
When specified on the V10/V9 series unit
Set the IP address on the [LAN Setting] menu in Local mode on the V10/V9 series unit and press the [Apply] switch at the lower right of the screen to confirm.
Leave the service port with the default value of "10000".
(This port number is used for reading and writing (EREAD/EWRITE) between MONITOUCH units and is unrelated to PLC communication.)
V10/V9 series unit Local mode
- If a setting is changed in Local mode on the V10/V9 series unit, the changed setting takes priority.
Check that the settings displayed on the [LAN Setting] menu and [Comm. Setting] menu in Local mode are configured as desired.
To restore the screen program settings, press the [Restore Screen Data Settings] switch and confirm by pressing the [Apply] switch at the lower right of the screen.
(On the [Comm. Setting] menu, press the [Reset All] switch after pressing the [Restore Screen Data Settings] switch.) - A network test for the IP address of the PLC can be performed on the [Network Test] tab on the [I/O Check] menu in Local mode.
