Importantly, you must NOT configure 'CheckSum' and 'CRLF' in your PLC options when programming your serial communications adapter in GX IEC Developer or GX Works 2.Р”Р‡or both Alpha and FX ensure the communication settings for the serial port are '9600, 8, N, 1'.

The AlphaWebFX FX Driver will poll these default device ranges:- X0-7, Y0-7, M0-7, D0-7.

Importantly, CB (user Bits) and CW (user Words) must be configured using the AL-VLS software - otherwise your Alpha will return an error code - and AlphaWebFX will not update any points in these ranges.

The AlphaWebFX Alpha Driver will poll these default device ranges:- DI1-8, AI1-8, DO1-6, CB1-8 and CW1-8. Again, connect your module to your serial port with a null-modem cable. As the range of options here are truly huge then consult your PLC hardware manual for the options. If you are using a FX Series PLC (FX1S thru FX3G) then you will need an appropriate RS-232-BD or RS-485-BD communications adapter fitted. Connect a Null-Modem cable between the DB9 connector and your Serial Port. If you are using an Alpha 2 (XL) then you will need a CAB-GSM adapter fitted under the expansion slot of an AL14 or AL24 device (AL10 devices are NOT capable of this). Next up you will need a connection to the target controller. You will need either an inbuilt Serial Port on the PC, or a USB to Serial adapter connected. Net Framework 2.0 is enough - recommended though is Win Xp / Win 7 - 1 Ghz processor - 1 Gig RAM. In any event - anything that can run Microsoft. The intention of AlphaWebFX is that you're taking advantage of a PC which is already running for some other purpose - whether it be a server blade, a desktop at work or an old laptop you have shoved in a broom cupboard at home which is acting as a file server. To begin with you will of course need a host Windows PC. So hover over the icon right-click then choose 'Show' to open the new interface. Unlike previous versions of AlphaWeb - AlphaWebFX runs from the system tray. In conjunction with a modest PC, a low cost Mitsubishi Alpha or FX PLC, a serial communications board, a few sensors and an Internet connection - AlphaWebFX has a great number of potential uses from remote site telemetry to server suite monitoring, in many application scenarios from home automation to commercial plant controls. AlphaWebFX can send alarms to your email (and CC to other users), and also can send 'reset' notices to advise that a previously alarmed value has returned to a normal condition. For example, you may want to create an alarm when a room temperature, like a server suite, goes above a certain value. Most usefully, AlphaWebFX tests each formatted value for alarm conditions that you set up.

AlphaWebFX can send the daily CSV file to you via email. AlphaWebFX then generates a standard XML file (for your own data tools), a simple web page (HTML) file for serving off the host PC, and a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file which can be opened in a spread-sheet application and be used to create a pretty graph.

The application generally gets raw data from the target device and re-formats that data into meaningful real world values and engineering units, for example OutsideAirTemperature 21.5 DegC, and GarageDoorStatus OPEN. Let's get started! (todo - useful photo's and images to follow)Р”Р„lphaWebFX is a Windows based PC application that connects to a Mitsubishi Alpha 2 (XL) or FX Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Welcome to the on-line help for AlphaWebFX.
