MELSEC QnU — PLC-side settings

MELSEC QnU — built-in Ethernet port (CPU module, 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

QnU is the base series; QnUDV uses the same screen pattern.

Code example:

import asyncio

from slmp import SlmpConnectionOptions, SlmpTarget, open_and_connect, read_typed


async def main() -> None:
    options = SlmpConnectionOptions(
        host="192.168.250.100",
        port=1025,
        transport="tcp",
        plc_profile="melsec:qnu",
        default_target=SlmpTarget(network=0, station=0xFF, module_io=0x03FF, multidrop=0),
    )
    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.QnU, 1025,
    SlmpTransportMode.Tcp, SlmpTargetAddress.OwnStation);
await using var client = await SlmpClientFactory.OpenAndConnectAsync(options);
var value = await client.ReadTypedAsync("D100", "U");
Console.WriteLine($"D100={value}");
