Mitsubishi MachineMetrics Setup
The Mitsubishi adapter works out of the box — enter the control's IP address and it collects execution, program, tool, spindle, feed, position and alarm data with no script.
Step 1: Navigate to Machine Settings
- Log into MachineMetrics
- Go to Assets → Machines
- Click Add Machine
Step 2: Enter Machine Details
Fill in machine information:
- Machine Name: (e.g., "Miyano BNE-51SY")
- Make: Mitsubishi or Miyano
- Model: (e.g., "M700V", "BNE-51SY")
- Edge Device: Select your Edge device
Step 3: Select Adapter Type
Choose the appropriate adapter:
| Control Series | Adapter to Select |
|---|---|
| M70 / M80 / M800 Series | Mitsubishi M70 |
| M700 Series | Mitsubishi M700 |
Note: For Citizen machines, see the Citizen Connectivity Guide.
Step 4: Enter Connection Details
Connection address: <IP address>
Examples:
- Mitsubishi M700:
192.168.1.100 - Mitsubishi M70:
192.168.1.100 - Mitsubishi M80:
192.168.1.100
Note: The Mitsubishi adapter always uses port 683. No port specification is required in the connection address.
Step 5: Test Connection
- Click Test Connection
- Wait for connection verification
- If successful, click Save
- If failed, verify:
- IP address is correct
- Port number is correct
- Machine is powered on
- Network connectivity exists (try pinging machine)
Adapter Configuration
Basic Configuration
The Mitsubishi adapters typically work out-of-the-box with default settings. No adapter script required for basic data collection.
Default Data Items Collected:
- Execution state
- Program name/number
- Tool number
- Spindle speed and load
- Feed rate
- Axis positions
- Alarms
Part Counting Configuration
Part counting on Mitsubishi machines can use:
1. M-Code Trigger
- Add M-code to end of program
- Triggers part count increment
- Example: Add
M30or custom M-code
2. Signal-Based Counting
- Monitor machine signals
- Configure trigger based on machine output
Configuration in MachineMetrics:
- Go to Machine Settings → Data Rules
- Use Select Part Count Metric to choose the counter source (see Data Rules)
Advanced Configuration (Optional)
For advanced data collection, you can add a Transform Adapter on top of the Mitsubishi adapter to:
- Extract operation from program name
- Calculate custom metrics
- Filter or transform data
- Add custom alarms
See Adapter Scripts for details.
