Technical Tip: Direct Access To PLC Special Function Modules Memory Using A Got Hmi

This technical tip document provides instructions for directly accessing data memory from a PLC special function module using a GOT HMI, without needing to transfer the data to PLC registers first. It gives examples of how to access buffer memory from modules in both Qn and FX PLC systems by entering the memory address into a GOT object's device field. Contact details are provided for technical support and training from Mitsubishi Electric.

Summary How to view and control data memory directly from a GOT HMI.

Introduction

All special function modules used as part of a PLC system contain data stored in buffer
memory. An example of this would be raw analogue input values from an analogue input
module (special function module). Normally this information or data is transferred to PLC
data registers and then any connected HMI accesses this information or data is from the PLC.
This technical tip explains how access to this buffer memory data directly from the special
function module from a GOT HMI without the need for and PLC data registers being used.

Design Considerations

To explain how to access Buffer memory data, 2 examples are shown below.

Example 1 (Qn PLC system)


This example shows how to access Buffer memory10 of a special function module who’s
starting I/O (Head) address in the PLC rack is 00 Hex. To demonstrate how to do this place a
numeric display object on screen and enter BM00-10 into the device field.

Example 2 (FX PLC)
This example shows how to access Buffer memory 14012 of a special function module which
is the first connected module on the right had side of the FX PLC i.e. unit number zero.

Further Information

For further information please see the GOT screen design manual.
