FX2N-20MR chinese semi-clon PLC and SCADA systems

[lw3eov]

Dear all,

I have a FX2N-20MR chinese semi-clon of a Mitsubishi PLC. It has only a serial DB9 port that cannot be removed or exchanged (which is possible in the Mitsubishi original PLC). I wonder if I can make a simple SCADA system using that port and just one computer. I am a student trying to make a project. Any help to do so will be very welcome.

Thanks
Regards

If your computer doesn't have a DB9 port then you might need to get a USB-to-Serial adapter.

AdvancedHMI doesn't have a generic serial driver for communication so you would have to do all the programming yourself and possibly use AdvancedHMI controls and set their values manually.

Other than this, Google is your best friend.
