Network Diagnostics Of Gx Configurator-Pn - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series User Manual

Network diagnostics of GX Configurator-PN

The connection information of IO devices and the status of I/O data exchange can be checked by accessing the RJ71PN92
via Ethernet using the network diagnostics of GX Configurator-PN.
For details on GX Configurator-PN, refer to the following.
Page 63 GX Configurator-PN
An execution request is sent from GX Configurator-PN via the RJ71PN92 for the network diagnostics of GX
Configurator-PN. Connect a personal computer in which GX Configurator-PN is installed, the RJ71PN92, and
target IO device to the same network.
In addition, set the module parameters such as an IP address of GX Works3 and write them to the CPU
module before the network diagnostics because the execution request is sent from GX Configurator-PN to the
IP address of the RJ71PN92.
Connection status of IO devices
The connection status of IO devices can be checked with the network configuration setting of GX Configurator-PN.
1.
Connect a personal computer in which the engineering tool is installed to the same network as the RJ71PN92.
2.
Start GX Configurator-PN.
3.
Enable the diagnostic mode.
[Devices]  [Start Console Diagnostic]
4.
When the diagnostic mode is enabled, the connection status of IO devices is displayed in the network configuration
setting.
• : The RJ71PN92 communicates with the IO device.
• : The RJ71PN92 is not connected to the IO device.
• : The I/O data exchange cannot be performed.
To check the connection status of IO devices, the actual network configuration needs to be written to the RJ71PN92 in the
PROFINET module setting window. When the diagnostic mode is enabled, the network configuration setting cannot be
changed.
To enable the diagnostic mode, I/O data exchange needs to be started.
