Overview
This section describes the operation of a target display with the Mitsubishi series Programmable Logic
Controllers. You should be familiar with Mitsubishi products before attempting to connect a target
display. The Mitsubishi MELSEC-A and FX series are supported.
Mitsubishi A Series
The target display can communicate with a Mitsubishi processor using the AJ71C24 Computer
Interface Module in a A1CPU, A2CPU and A3CPU. The Aj71C24 CIM can be used with the following
base units: A32B, A35B, A38B, A55B, A58B, A65B, A68B.
The AJ71C24 Computer Interface Module provides RS232C and RS422 interfaces. RS232C is limited
to 15 Meters and RS422 is limited to 500 Meters. A typical connection is shown in the following
drawing.
