# Mitsubishi 3E

The Mitsubishi 3E driver is used to access Mitsubishi's QnA-compatible PLCs, including the Q Series (MC), iQ-F Series (SLMP), and iQ-L Series, via Ethernet.

For the generic steps, see [Create a Southbound Driver](../south-devices.md) and [Groups and Tags](../../groups-tags/groups-tags.md).

The Mitsubishi 3E is fully compatible with the Mitsubishi SLMP protocol.

## Add Driver

On **Data Collection → South Devices**, click **Add Device**.

- Name: The name of this device node.
- Driver: Select the **Mitsubishi 3E** driver.

## Connection Parameters

Click the driver card to open the **Device Configuration** page and fill in:

|  Parameter      |  Description                      |
| -------- | -------------------------- |
| **Transport Mode** |  Use TCP mode or UDP mode      |
| **PLC IP Address** |  Target PLC IPv4 address         |
| **PLC Port** | Target PLC IPv4 address, Default 2000 |
| **UDP Source Port** | Target device port number, available when UDP mode is enabled, default is 52001 |

## Tag Configuration

The data types and address formats supported by this driver are listed below.

### Data types

* INT16
* UINT16
* INT32
* UINT32
* FLOAT
* DOUBLE
* BIT
* STRING

### Address Format

> AREA ADDRESS\[.BIT]\[.LEN\[H]\[L]]

#### .BIT

Only available for **non-bit type area**, which means reading the specified binary bit of the specified address, the binary bit index interval is [0, 15].

#### .LEN\[H]\[L]

When the data type is string type, **`.LEN`** indicates the length of the string; you can optionally fill in **H** and **L** to indicate two-byte orders, and the default is the byte order of **H**.
