MELSEC QJ71E71-100 — PLC-side settings

MELSEC QJ71E71-100 — Ethernet communication unit for Q series.

What you need

• Configuration tool: GX Works2
• 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	MC Protocol / SLMP TCP
UDP port	1035	MC Protocol / SLMP UDP

PLC-side settings

Use the QJ71E71-100 when the Q series CPU does not have a built-in Ethernet port. Settings and profile are identical to the QnUDV built-in port.

Code example:

Python.NET (C#)

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:qnudv")
    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.QnUDV) { Port = 1025 };
await using var client = await SlmpClientFactory.OpenAndConnectAsync(options);
var value = await client.ReadTypedAsync("D100", "U");
Console.WriteLine($"D100={value}");
