5.2.1 Handling precautions
Handling precautions
The following explains the precautions on using the GX Configurator-DA:
Since GX Configurator-DA is add-in software for GX Developer, read "Safety Precau-
tions" and the basic operating procedures in the GX Developer Operating Manual.
GX Configurator-DA is add-in software for GX Developer Version 4 or later. Therefore,
GX Configurator-DA must be installed on the personal computer that has already GX
Developer Version 4 or later installed.
Insufficient system resource may cause the screen to be displayed inappropriately
while using the Intelligent function module utility. If this occurs, close the Intelligent
function module utility, GX Developer (program, comments, etc.) and other applica-
tions, and then start GX Developer and Intelligent function module utility again.
(a) In GX Developer, select "QCPU (Q mode)" for PLC series and specify a project.
If any PLC series other than "QCPU (Q mode)" is selected, or if no project is spec-
ified, the Intelligent function module utility will not start.
(b) Multiple Intelligent function module utilities can be started.
However, [Open parameters] and [Save parameters] operations under [Intelligent
function module parameter] are allowed for one Intelligent function module utility
only. Only the [Monitor/test] operation is allowed for the other utilities.
