Information about Mitsubishi CNC

On machines with Mitsubishi control: M70/M700 and M80/M800, it is enough to set several network parameters.

Go to Maintenance -> Base Com Param or look for setting No. 1925.

If it is not possible to edit the parameters (it is not possible to move the arrows on the parameters list), it may be necessary to switch the setting first:

Turning on parameters edit

Select the “MAINT” hard key
Select “I/F DIAG” soft key
Enter: 1001//M and then press the “INPUT” soft key
Now enter the “PARAM” hardkey – parameters can now be edited.

Then just set the parameters:

1925 = 1 (interface enable)
1926 = the machine’s IP address in the LAN, e.g. 192.168.1.50
1927 = subnet mask, e.g. 255.255.255.0
1928 = IP address of the gateway, i.e. the router in the LAN to which the machine is connected
1929 = 683 (communication port)

then restart the machine.

Then contact us to set up some additional components on a PC with Scout Configuration Tool (SCT). When it’s done, we will connect the machine and start reading the status from it.
