Mitsubishi Alarm Modems can communicate with the relevant PLCs using their protocols with-
out having to load a program, driver or function block into the PLC concerned. They then have
direct access to all variables, markers and I/O on the PLCs.
The Alarm Modem can easily be set with parameters using the software MX-Mitsubishi Alarm
Editor.
These PLCs are supported:
Alpha XL and MELSEC FX1S/1N, FX2N/2NC
For MAM-PLC communication, the internationally standardized fieldbus system Modbus
(ASCII and RTU) may also be utilized.
