# SLMP – Settings

The Settings tab is used to configure the necessary parameters for setting up the SLMP protocol.

The available options are listed below.

Property | Description
Controller Type | Defines the type of Mitsubishi PLC/MC to communicate with: iQ-Q Series (3E Frame), or FX Series (1E Frame). The default value is iQ-Q Series 3E Frame.
IP Address | Defines the IP address of the Mitsubishi PLC/MC. Enter the IP address of the Mitsubishi PLC/MC to which the In-Sight vision system will connect. If an invalid address is entered, the Industrial Ethernet Configuration window indicates it with a red warning.
Host Port | Defines the TCP port number, in decimal (Dec) or in hexadecimal (Hex) format, of the Mitsubishi PLC/MC. The allowed port number values are 0–196608 in Dec (or 0000–30000 in Hex). The default value is 12288 in Dec (or 0x3000 in Hex). Note: This value should match the Host Port setting established on the SLMP Port of the Mitsubishi PLC/MC. The format of the Host Port number will be reset to decimal (Dec) when you close In-Sight Vision Suite.
Timeout (ms) | Defines the timeout (5 milliseconds to 30,000; default is 1,000 ms) for both read and write operations. Note: This parameter may potentially add time to the job; in the event that both the read and write operations were to fail, the amount of time added to the job would be twice the Timeout value, since both operations timeout would aggregate.
Poll Interval (ms) | Defines the time (5 milliseconds to 30,000; default is 1,000 ms) between successive polls of the Control block on the Mitsubishi PLC/MC .
Connect to Remote Station | Enables the configuration of a master SLMP device that will be communicated with the In-Sight device. By default, the checkbox is unchecked and the In-Sight vision system is directly connected to the PLC/MC with an Ethernet Module specified by the entered IP address. When enabled, the following settings are available: Network Number: Defines the SLMP network number (0 to 239; default is 0 standing for local network) to communicate with. This control is enabled when the Connect to Remote Station checkbox is checked. PC Number: Defines the station identifier on the specified network of the Destination Module, in hexadecimal. This control is enabled when the Connect to Remote Station checkbox is checked. The available values are as follows: 0x1–0x78: Station on the CC-Link IE field network adapter. 0x7D: Designated Control Station or Master Station. 0x7E: Master Station on the CC-Link IE field network. 0xFF: Direct connect to local station. This value is valid only if the Network Number property is set to 0. Destination Module: Defines the module identifier of the device to connect to. This control is enabled when the Connect to Remote Station checkbox is checked. The available values are as follows: ControlSystemCPU StandbySystemCPU SystemACPU SystemBCPU CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 LocalStation (default)
