Mitsubishi Alarm Modems can communicate with the relevant PLCs using their protocols with- out having to load a program, driver or function block into the PLC concerned. They then have direct access to all variables, markers and I/O on the PLCs.

The Alarm Modem can easily be set with parameters using the software MX-Mitsubishi Alarm Editor.

These PLCs are supported:

Alpha XL and MELSEC FX1S/1N, FX2N/2NC

For MAM-PLC communication, the internationally standardized fieldbus system Modbus (ASCII and RTU) may also be utilized.
