Installing the Operating System Software

The operating system software is installed in the Motion CPU module when the product is shipped. There is therefore no need
to install the operating system software, however, installation is required if upgrading to the latest version or changing the
version.
Also, the Motion CPU functions can be expanded by additionally installing add-on libraries.
• Be sure to turn OFF the Multiple CPU system power supply before changing rotary switch setting.
• Even if the operating system software is installed, the programs, parameters and absolute position data
written in the Motion CPU module not rewritten.
• If installation is interrupted by actions such as "power supply of Multiple CPU system being turned OFF",
"RUN/STOP/RESET switch of PLC CPU module being changed to RESET", "power supply of the personal
computer being turned OFF. (When using MT Developer2)", "personal computer's communication cable
being removed. (When using MT Developer2)", and "the SD memory card being removed. (When using a
SD memory card)", files being installed will be deleted. Reinstall the operating system software.
• While the Motion CPU module is in installation mode, a Multiple CPU error will occur at other Multiple CPU
system CPUs, and the system will not start up.
• During installation, install operations from other sources will not be accepted. For example, an error will
occur if an attempt is made to install from MT Developer2 while performing installation with a SD memory
card.
• The capacity of the built-in memory in which Motion CPU module operating system software and add-on
library files are stored is 8MB. Make sure the total size of operating system software and add-on library files
is no more than 8MB.
• The model name and version of operating system software installed in the Motion CPU module can be
checked in MT Developer2. Refer to the following for details.

• Use MT Developer2 for checking the installed add-on library version, and deleting add-on library files from
the Motion CPU module. Refer to the following for details.
Help of MT Developer2
• The operating system software version "05" or earlier cannot be installed in the R64MTCPU. Install
operating system software version "07" or later.
• Restrictions can occur depending on the version of the operating system software installed in the Motion
CPU module, and when combining with other add-on libraries already installed. When an add-on library that
cannot be combined is installed, a moderate error (error code: 308FH) occurs at the initial processing of the
Motion CPU module, and the Motion CPU module does not RUN.
