Mitsubishi Q Series PLC (GX Works2) Simulator to Ignition Connection?

Ignition
1

Hi All,

Has anyone been able to connect Ignition to a simulation of a Mitsubishi Q Series PLC? I have been able to do connect Ignition to a IQ-R PLC simulation (GX Works3), and had success connecting to a physical Q-Series PLC but for some reason, cannot connect it to a GX Works2 simulator for the Q-Series PLC.

The problem I think may be what is stopping me is the port number - I am not sure which port (if any) is opened by the GX Works2 simulator that Ignition could connect to.
I have tried a bunch of ports from default 1025 to various ports set in the GX Works PLC Parameters Built-In Ethernet Module settings but to no avail, even if using the same parameters as the physical PLC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Open a terminal and use netstat to list listening ports on your machine. If there isn't one for the simulator, it simply won't work.

@pturmel yeah, that's what I was afraid of. netstat shows up lots of listening ports and although some of them will result in the "connected" status in the OPC UA Devices page, the OPC Quick Client tag read results in "Bad" status leading me to think that the port is not the correct one (I am confident the tag address is correct). After trying all of the ports that show up with the netstat command, no success. Thanks for the feedback.
