What is [PLC type]? |
[PLC type] is settings of PLC units by GP-PRO/PB3. if you don't proper PLC type, communication error will occured and you are not able to make a communication. for instance, Mitsubishi PLC has Q series as [Melsec-Q(CPU)] which is connected directly to CPU and [Melsec-QnA(Link)] which is connected to Link Unit. If you select wrong one, communication will be errored. Please confirm the proper PLC type with Device Connection Manual.
