Description
Memory in an intelligent function module to store data such as setting values and monitor values.
For CPU modules, it refers to memory to store data such as setting values and monitor values of the Ethernet function,
or data used for data communication of the multiple CPU system function.
A tool used for setting up programmable controllers, programming, debugging, and maintenance.
An engineering tool for setting, programming, debugging, and maintaining programmable controllers.
An abbreviation for the MELSEC communication protocol.
This protocol is used to access a MC protocol-compatible device or a programmable controller connected to a MC
protocol-compatible device from an external device.
A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each module in a given
character string.
For the module used, GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global label.
An abbreviation for Seamless Message Protocol.
This protocol is used to access an SLMP-compatible device or a programmable controller connected to an SLMP-
compatible device from an external device.
A data name used when registering the fixed format part in a message to be transmitted between an external device and
a serial communication module, and using it for data transmission and reception. (The content of data in a user frame
must be the same as the specifications of the external device.)
