Verify the configuration
Monitor DT100 online in the Panasonic engineering tool, compare the gateway value and confirm a new sample.
Troubleshooting
- DT/LD WORD areas are decimal; X/Y/L/R use decimal WORD.hexadecimal bit. This driver supports only TcpClient and does not use Mitsubishi D/M addresses.
