MELSEC iQ-F — PLC-side settings

MELSEC iQ-F — built-in Ethernet port (CPU module).

What you need

  • Configuration tool: GX Works3
  • Network: Align IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway with your network environment.
  • After configuration: Power cycle the PLC to apply the new parameters.

Example values used in this guide

Parameter Example value Notes
IP address 192.168.250.100 Adapt to your network
TCP port 1025 SLMP TCP
UDP port 1035 SLMP UDP

Screen: Unit parameters

Parameter Setting
IP Address 192.168.250.100 (example)
Subnet Mask Match your network
Default Gateway Match your network
Communication Data Code Binary

iQ-F does not have "Write Permission During RUN" or "Open Method Setting" in the unit parameters screen. Those are configured in the connection settings screen instead.

Code example:

import asyncio

from slmp import SlmpConnectionOptions, open_and_connect, read_typed


async def main() -> None:
    options = SlmpConnectionOptions(host="192.168.250.100", port=1025, plc_profile="melsec:iq-f")
    async with await open_and_connect(options) as client:
        value = await read_typed(client, "D100", "U")
        print(f"D100={value}")


asyncio.run(main())

using PlcComm.Slmp;

var options = new SlmpConnectionOptions("192.168.250.100", SlmpPlcProfile.IqF) { Port = 1025 };
await using var client = await SlmpClientFactory.OpenAndConnectAsync(options);
var value = await client.ReadTypedAsync("D100", "U");
Console.WriteLine($"D100={value}");
