14.22.2 Linking with Multi-Project

Create messages by using a text file format or PLC development software (GX Developer).
This chapter explains the operations in case that the PLC message files created by the PLC development software (GX
Developer) are stored in multiple projects when multi-project function is valid.
The PLC operator interface is a common device between projects.
When the PLC message files are stored in multiple projects and the indexes of the operator messages overlap, the message
of the project with a smaller project No. will be displayed as a priority.
Therefore, when the PLC operator messages are used in multi-project environment, the method to use the interface by
dividing it per project in advance is recommended as follows:
[Example procedure to create]
(1) Decide the interface to be used per project (example of F type).
Project 1: Use F1024 to F1123
Project 2: Use F1124 to F1223
Project 3: Use F1224 to F1323
(2) Create PLC message file to conform to the divided interface.
Project 1
Message file
;O, 0, 10, Project1 Msg001;
:
;O, 98, 10, Project1 Msg099;
;O, 99, 10, Project1 Msg100;
NOPLF
END
(3) Create ladder circuit to conform to the divided interface.
Project 1
Ladder file
F1024
F1025
F1026
:
F1123
END
Project 2
Message file
;O, 100, 20, Project2 Msg001;
:
;O, 198, 20, Project2 Msg099;
;O, 199, 20, Project2 Msg100;
NOPLF
END
Project 2
Ladder file
F1124
F1125
F1126
:
F1223
END

Project 3
Message file
;O, 200, 30, Project3 Msg001;
:
;O, 298, 30, Project3 Msg099;
;O, 299, 30, Project3 Msg100;
NOPLF
END
Project 3
Ladder file
F1224
F1225
F1226
:
