Today, let’s talk about how to interface the EG edge gateway with Panasonic PLCs via the Mewtocol TCP Protocol.
L'articolo di cui abbiamo parlato prima:
Come integrare il gateway di edge computing EG con General Electric PLC
Come integrare il PLC Xinjie tramite il protocollo Modbus RTU
Come interfacciarsi con i PLC Keyence della serie KV-8000 tramite il protocollo MC-3E
How to interface with Keyence KV-7500 series PLCs via the KV TCP protocol
Compatible PLCs: Panasonic FP0H / Panasonic XHC60ET
1. Connessione hardware
Mewtocol TCP protocol communicates via Ethernet. Therefore, simply ensure the gateway’s LAN port and the Panasonic PLC’s IP address are within the same subnet.
2. Parametri di comunicazione del PLC
2.1. Ethernet Parameter Settings
2.2. User Connection Port Settings
3. Gateway Settings
3.1. Impostazioni di connessione del PLC
Drag a Panasonic node from the left panel and double-click to open its settings page. Configure the following based on the PLC’s serial port parameters:
Protocollo: Select Mewtocol TCP
Indirizzo: Enter the PLC address (e.g., 192.168.10.5)
Porto: Enter the PLC connection port (e.g., 60001)
Timeout della connessione: 2000
Timeout di comunicazione: 2000
ID stazione: EE
3.2. Configurazione del punto dati
Enter the data points to be read into the parameter list of the Panasonic node. Once configured, the PLC data will be automatically retrieved at the specified frequency.
Data points are typically provided by PLC engineers. Upon receiving the point list, fill in the data points according to the gateway’s required format. For specific correspondence, refer to:

This example reads data from address DT0. Using FPWIN GR7 software, you can see that DT0 stores a signed 32-bit integer: 273. In the parameter list, fill in the address/name/data type/data length sequentially. Set a 2-second cycle for periodic reading, as shown in the figure:
3.3. Test
Click Deploy and observe that a data point is printed every 2 seconds. The read data point result is: DT0:273. Communication successful!
