SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Always read these instructions before using this product.)

Before using this product, thoroughly read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual and pay careful attention to safety and handle the products properly. The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product. For the safety precautions of the system, refer to the User's Manual for each controller.

In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as " WARNING" and " CAUTION".

WARNING

CAUTION

Note that the CAUTION level may lead to serious consequences according to the circumstances. Always follow the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal safety.

Please save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forward it to the end user.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in miner or moderate injury or property damage.

[Design Instructions]

WARNING

● When data change, program change, or status control is performed from a personal computer to a running controller, create an interlock circuit outside the programmable controller to ensure that the whole system always operates safely. Furthermore, for the online operations performed from a personal computer to a controller, the corrective actions against a communication error due to such as a cable connection fault should be predetermined as a system.

[Startup/Maintenance Instructions]

CAUTION

● The online operations performed from a personal computer to a running controller (Program change, operating status change such as RUN-STOP switching, and remote control operation) have to be executed after the manual has been carefully read and the safety has been ensured. When changing a program while a controller is RUN, it may cause a program corruption in some operating conditions. Fully understand the precautions described in the manuals and Help function of each controller before use.

1 OVERVIEW

1.1 MELSOFT iQ Works

MELSOFT iQ Works is an integrated engineering software product which includes GX Works2, MT Developer2, GT Designer3, and RT ToolBox2.

While sharing design information such as system designs and programming in the whole control system, the system designing efficiency and the programming efficiency are improved, and thus the total programming cost is reduced.

This manual explains the system management method using MELSOFT Navigator.

Q series, L series, and FX series are supported in MELSOFT Navigator, however, this manual explains the operations of Q series.

■ Simplified parameter settings

Parameters, such as I/O assignment and network parameters, which require consistencies can be set without opening related projects of each engineering software (GX Works2, MT Developer2, and GT Designer3).

Parameters set to the project on CPU No. 1 can be utilized for the project on CPU No. 2 when configuring multiple CPU system.

For the parameter setting function, refer to the following chapter.

1 OVERVIEW

■ Improved programming efficiency using system labels

System labels are labels that can be used in any project within the workspace (within the equipment configured in the network configuration diagram or module configuration diagram). Programming (drawing) efficiency is improved by opening devices of programmable controller projects and motion controller projects as system labels, and sharing them with multiple projects. As the device assignment settings are changed in batch, device assignment changes are not necessary on other projects or graphics.

For using system labels, refer to the following chapter.

Chapter 4

< Workspace >

System labels (Valid within workspace)

< Programmable controller project >

Global labels (Valid within project)

[Program (MAIN)] Local labels (Valid within program)

[Program (SUB)] Local labels (Valid within program)

< Programmable controller project >

Global labels (Valid within project)

[Program (MAIN)] Local labels (Valid within program)

< GOT project >

< Motion controller project >

Labels (Valid within project)

To use system labels in iQ Platform supporting engineering environment MELSOFT iQ Works, utilize system labels registered in MELSOFT Navigator from projects (Top-down design method), or register global labels defined in projects as system labels (Bottom-up design method).

1.2 Features

● Top-down design method

Design system labels for accessing GOT or communicating between equipment after designing network configuration in the upstream design. In top-down design method, register system labels using MELSOFT Navigator, import them to global labels of controller projects, and assign devices.
