Mitsubishi 4E
The Mitsubishi 4E driver is used to access Mitsubishi's PLCs, including iQ-F Series (SLMP), and iQ-R Series, via Ethernet.
For the generic steps, see Create a Southbound Driver and Groups and Tags.
The Mitsubishi 4E is fully compatible with the Mitsubishi SLMP protocol.

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.
