FX3U-ENET-L module configuration
 Set up the FX3U-ENET-L Ethernet module settings as follows.
 Select the module location, which in this document is Module 0.

Select "Operational setting" to enter the following screen.

The Ethernet module IP is set to 192.168.39.254 in this document, and other options are default.

Select "Open setting" to enter the setting interface, the settings are as follows.

The third item "Protocol" selects TCP, and "Open system" selects MELSOFT connection, which allows the

Mitsubishi programming software GX works2 to communicate with the FX3U via the Ethernet module.

Click on "transter setup" - "PC side I/F setting", see the following figure.

After setting, the first download must use the programming cable, as shown in the figure; after that, can

use the IP set in the "Ethernet board" to communicate directly with the network cable.

read and write data from the Ethernet module

Set "Transter setup" to COM communication, and read or write operation as shown below
