Mitsubishi Fx5U support ? #4

Open axacheng opened 6 years ago

axacheng commented 6 years ago

Hello developers:

Could I use honcho to send json object to Mitsubishi ? I've tried mcprotocol but that didn't work for Fx5U series. Could you please verify if I can take advantage to use honcho as alternative ?

Thank you

Honcho is intended to help manage multiple controllers of different types (nodes7, nodepccc, mcprotocol, nodembtcp) using those libraries as dependencies. So while using it is an alternative to using mcprotocol directly, it still uses the same code to communicate with the PLC and still will not work with the Fx5U as it does not yet support MC Protocol 3E frames. It is difficult for us to add this code to the program as we don't have one of these CPUs. We could try if you are interested in beta testing, but it might take a few tries to get it working.

Hello

I'd be happy to help test it with FX5U if you could implement it for this model. Please let us know if you need any test cases from us.
