OPC UA, OPC DA Driver for integrating Mitsubishi A, AnA & Q Series PLCs
This driver is only available as part of the following TOP Server driver suites:
Channels (32 Devices Each)
Serial Networks (RS-232/422/485)
Protocol Formats (Format 1 & 5)
COM Port Range
This Mitsubishi driver works in conjunction with TOP Server® to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Mitsubishi A & Q Series PLCs connected via the AJ71C24 or QJ71C24N serial communications cards and if desired, serial-to-Ethernet convertors or gateways. This driver supports communication with devices using the Mitsubishi Format 1 and Format 5 protocol over Serial or Ethernet Gateway/Terminal Server connections. Data acquisition is optimized based on upstream client demand while data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling.
