Mitsubishi fx3g programming cable

[ciprian.patrulescu]

I got an fx3g 24mr/ds and bought a simple mini usb cable to program it with my laptop. I use gxworks 2 and I cant find my plc. Do I need a more specific cable? If so what is it?

I'm new to this topic

You should be ok with the USB cable.

Did you change the the connection settings to USB

From there you can test the connection as well.

In the connection1 you select USB, PLC module, and No Specification.

You can then press connection test, and it should indicate it sees the PLC.

If this does not work try a different USB cable

The software defaults to a RS232 serial connection, most people use the FX-USB-AW cable for mini din communications.

See how you go

Check in windows if it sees the device as a Mitsubishi when you connect it

Someone told me the programming port is 422 so I should get a usb to 422 adapter to program it, I'm very confused

Both should work. Can you share your connection setup from GX Works 2 for USB maybe you've made a mistake there ?
