Communicate Mitsubishi R04EN CPU with NI OPC Server

[S3Tech]

I want to communicate Mitsubishi R04EN CPU with NI OPC Server. I have previously used the Mitsubishi Ethernet driver to communicate with FX5U CPU which has been pretty straight forward since a lot of tutorials are available. However, nothing on R series CPU. Can it be communicated using the same driver? If so, what should be the settings?

Solved the issue. Its very simple. R04EN also works with the Mitsubishi Ethernet Driver of NI OPC Server with "Q Series" selected. Use built-in ethernet of the PLC and all module parameters to be the same as that done in FX5U PLC. Only in the Communication configuration of GXworks3, select "Ethernet connection via hub" instead of "Direct Ethernet Connection" and mention the IP address as defined in the "Module parameters" own node settings.
