Sellwood HMI/SCADA software for the Mitsubishi FX2N & FX3U PLC

Sellwood version 3.0.4 is a powerful PC based  HMI / SCADA  application for the Mitsubishi FX PLC. 

This easy to use program empowers you to build a human interface for your process in a few minutes that really looks good and everyone will rave about.  This is the quick and easy  HMI for a Mitsubishi FX PLC that will  save you time and money.

Sellwood can often just be  added to an existing computer and run with other applications.   And Sellwood runs as any Windows© application that can be moved, sized or minimized.  Install Sellwood on your laptop and use it as a portable HMI for installation and trouble shooting. 

Connect the Sellwood pc to the Mitsubishi FX plc  with the programming cable.  An expensive OPC server is not needed.  There is no tag count use as many PLC points as you need. 

Sellwood uses  the  power of the PC for data acquisition and monitoring.  Monitored PLC points can be displayed with time-date-stamp or written to a fixed disk file. Collected data can be quickly imported into other programs.  Recipe lists can be read into the PLC and  wav files can be played on the PC by the PLC  control.

In the edit mode the HMI project is created  and edited.  There are thirty different control objects such as: pushbuttons, gauges, dials, sliders, knobs, oscilloscope and others that can be picked from the pull down menus and pasted on the screens with a mouse click.

Math on a PLC is not fun and some math the PLC cannot do at all. Just set up the Sellwood expression evaluator and you can solve complex expressions that a PLC is not capable of doing.  The Sellwood expression evaluator monitors the PLC registers used in the expression and when any of the  values change the expression is solved and the result is written back to the PLC. 

In the run mode the HMI project file is opened and the PC establishes communication with the PLC and runs  as an HMI. Editing is not allowed in the run mode.

Each control object can be used as many times as needed.  Each object has its own properties with PLC point addresses and each object can be copied,  moved,  sized and edited from the item properties menu a right click away.

The Sellwood HMI project is saved to a fixed disk file and multiple projects can be created and saved. Each  project can be   password protected.
