Dear All,
There are several Mitsubishi A and Q series PLC's in a plant (relatively old plant). We want to provide/develop a gateway that connects to one PLC and gets the data and pushes to cloud. We are good in software/c programming. However following are not clear to us and we hope that experts here can answer few
1. Is it possible to collect data (monitor) from PLC - CPU (direct CPU) modules of Mitsubishi? If yes what is the protocol these A and Q series follow?
2. We don't want to add computer link modules/ communication modules to existing PLC's as some of theme are very old and are phased out. We can add modules to new Q series PLC's if direct data collection from CPU module is not possible. But the real deal is A series PLCs to get the data from.
Any direction or pointers in this line would greatly appreciated.
Thank you
