Precautions
• To convert a project, it is required to use a newer version of the setting tool than the one in which the project was created.
• When opening a project which is created with the Japanese version setting tool in the English version setting tool, some
characters may be garbled.
• If a conversion fails, a target project will not be converted and will be in the state where a project is newly created in the
setting tool.

When a value within the range has been set for the data count in a previous version project, the setting will be inherited
from the project.
The out-of-range value set for the data count will be changed to the maximum value that can be set.
Therefore, if a variable value exceeds the available number of characters, the value beyond the number of characters
set for the data count will be deleted.
