As I understood, OP used only serial to ethernet converter that is connected on ethernet side directly from output of the converter to the FX5U ethernet port.
When PC is used there is the Virtual Serial Port software as middleware, with PLC there is no additional driver that will convert from RTU to TCP, so this configuration is not applicable.
Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP are different protocols., so if you are using Serial to Ethernet converter and connecting RTU devices to Mitsubishi Ethernet port, you are doing it wrong.
FX5U has both serial and Ethernet ports, and supports both RTU and TCP/IP. Modbus supports multidrop (many slave devices).
RS232 on got has standard pinout:
1-CD, 2-RD, 3-SD, 4-ER, 5-SG, 6-DR, 7-RS, 8-CS, 9 - not connected.
It is important also to configure GOT so you can use Barcode function.
Have you checked if the "Host Station Port No." is HEX or DEC.
Also, on many SCADA you need to specify PLC address also (for example, with Kepware it is: 192.168.0.10:255). I never used Fernhill, but I would try to change "Station number" from 0 to 255.
Even relatively newer E series does not communicate with FX5U and iQR, using FX serial communication through FX5-422-BD-GOT(I've personally tested it). Change it to standard RS485 port and Modbus communication, and make changes to PLC and HMI, and it will work, or buy new HMI (GOT).
@Crossbow, some inverters have "PLC inside" - for example A800. But with A500 you are right, as it does not have it. Also for A500 parametrisation you need VFD Setup Software (FR-SW1-SETUP-WE), not FR Configurator.
Both POW and EXP can work for that, and also the simple bit logic always works.
If base is 2, exponent is always number with only one bit High.
2^0 = DEC 1 = BIN 0001
2^1 = DEC 2 = BIN 0010
2^2 = DEC 4= BIN 0100
2^3 = DEC 8 = BIN 1000
And so on...
You need to find where is GxWorks3 installed - usually it is C:\Program Files (x86)\MELSOFT\GPPW3\GXW3.exe. Then you need to click on right mouse button and select Properties and after that adjust it according to picture below:
