(3) About start menu

When you have uninstalled MX Component, the item may remain in the start menu. In that case, restart the IBM-PC/AT compatible personal computer.

Programmable controller CPU-related instructions

(1) About transmission speed

As the transmission speed of the QCPU(Q mode), LCPU and QCPU(A mode), you can set 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps or 11520bps. For the QnACPU of version 9707B or later, you can set the transmission speed of 9600bps, 19200bps or 38400bps. For the QnACPU of other versions, you can set 9600bps or 19200bps. The transmission speeds of the ACPU (except A2USHCPU-S1), FXCPU and motion controller CPU are fixed to 9600bps. (The A2USHCPU-S1 may be set to 19200bps.)

(2) Precautions for USB communication

Frequently disconnecting/reconnecting the USB cable or resetting or powering ON/OFF the programmable controller CPU during communications with the programmable controller CPU may cause a communications error which cannot be recovered. If it is not recovered, completely disconnect the USB cable once and then reconnect it after 5 or more seconds have elapsed. (If this error occurs at the initial communication after the above operation, the function will be performed properly in and after the second communications.)

(3) About clock data of the programmable controller CPU

(a) For the ACPU (including the motion controller CPU), clock data setting may

be made only when the programmable controller CPU is in the STOP status. For the QCPU (Q mode), LCPU, QCPU (A mode), QnACPU and FXCPU, clock data setting may be made if the programmable controller CPU is in the RUN status.

(b) For the A0J2HCPU, A2CCPU and A2CJCPU, setting cannot be made as

they do not have the clock function.

setting special relay "M9028" is ON or OFF. (Note that the special relay "M9028" turns OFF after execution.) For the QCPU (Q mode), LCPU, QCPU (A mode) and QnACPU, setting can be made independently of whether the clock setting device "SM1028" is ON or OFF.

(d) Among the FXCPUs, setting may be made for only the FX

1NC (clock built-in), FX1S (clock built-in), FX2N (clock built-in), FX2NC (when

FX RTC cassette is fitted), FX cassette is fitted) and FX

(e) Note that an error for transfer time will be produced in clock setting.

1N (clock built-in),

U (when RTC cassette is fitted), FX2C (when RTC

3G (clock built-in).

A - 9 A - 9

(4) Precautions for the use of Q4ARCPU

The redundant function cannot be used.

(5) Restrictions on use of the FXCPU

(a) When the FXCPU is used, access to the TN devices (timer present values) or

CN devices (counter present values) is not permitted if the device numbers specified are split across 199 or earlier and 200 or later.

(b) As the FXCPU does not have a PAUSE switch as the programmable

controller CPU, an error is returned if remote pause is specified in SetCpuStatus.

executing the WriteBuffer( ) method will not return an error.

(d) For the index registers (Z, V) of the FXCPU, data cannot be written to 2 or

more consecutive points using WriteDeviceBlock(). (Data may be written to only one point.)

(6) Serial communication function of Q00UJ/Q00/Q00U/Q01/Q01U/Q02U/CPU*1

When the following conditions are all satisfied, communication between the personal computer and the serial communication function compatible CPU is made at 9600bps speed.

*1: In this paragraph, "serial communication function compatible CPU" indicates

Q00UJ/Q00/Q00U/Q01/Q01U/Q02UCPU.

1) The serial communication function of the connected CPU is valid.

2) The personal computer side transmission speed setting differs from the serial

communication function compatible CPU side transmission speed setting.

To increase the communication speed, match the personal computer side transmission speed with the serial communication function compatible CPU side transmission speed.

(7) Precautions for the use of Built-in Ethernet port CPU

If you reset the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection setting (during opening) using MX Component, a communication or receive error will occur at the time of communication after that. In that case, close the application that uses MX Component and then perform open processing again.

(8) Precautions for the use of QSCPU

In order to protect the safety programmable controller system, functions writing to buffer memory, writing and setting devices and writing clock data cannot be executed.

Instructions for use of other MELSOFT products

(1) About simultaneous use of MX Component and GX Developer

When using GX Developer and MX Component together for the same E71 module to make Ethernet communication, make the following settings.

(a) Set the protocol of the communication setting wizard screen to "UDP/IP".

(b) Set "SW2" of the communications setting switches of the E71 module to OFF

(binary).

A - 10 A - 10

(2) Precautions for GX Simulator communication

Before executing the monitor utility, communication setting utility or user program, make sure that GX Simulator and GX Developer are operating. In addition, do not terminate the GX Simulator and GX Developer while the user program is running. If you do so, you will not be able to terminate the user program normally.

Instructions for use of Ethernet modules

(1) Resetting the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection

establishment When resetting the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection establishment (during opening) using MX Component, a communication error or receive error occurs at communication after that. In that case, perform close processing in the application that uses MX Component and then perform open processing again.

(2) About target existence check starting interval*1 of Ethernet module

If close processing (Close) is executed from the IBM-PC/AT compatible, the Ethernet module may not perform close processing (Close). One of its causes is the open cable. If open processing (Open) is executed from the IBM-PC/AT compatible with the Ethernet module not performing close processing (Close), open processing (Open) from the IBM-PC/AT compatible is not terminated normally until the Ethernet module makes a target existence check and executes close processing (Close). If you want to terminate open processing (Open) early from the IBM-PC/AT compatible, shorten the target existence check starting interval setting of the Ethernet module. (The target existence check starting interval setting of the Ethernet module defaults to 10 minutes.)

*1: It can be set for the E71 of AJ71E71-S3 or later.

(3) Replacement of Ethernet module

If you changed the Ethernet module during Ethernet communication due to debugging, failure or like, the other node (IBM-PC/AT compatible) must be restarted. (Since the Ethernet addresses (MAC addresses) differ between devices)

(4) Simultaneous access when using Q series-compatible Ethernet module

The following conditions should be satisfied when communication is to be made simultaneously from multiple IBM-PC/AT compatibles to the same module using the TCP/IP protocol.

• Q series-compatible E71 module (except QJ71E71-100) whose first five digits of

the serial number is "02122" or later and whose function version is B or later.

• Using GX Developer Version 6.05F or later, set "MELSOFT connection" in the

Ethernet parameter [open system].

A - 11 A - 11

(5) Unlocking password when using QJ71E71

The range where the password can be unlocked by remote operation is up to the connection target station. If the password is set also on the lower layer, communication cannot be made with the programmable controller CPU on the lower layer.

(6) About use of the Q4ARCPU

When using the UDP/IP protocol of Ethernet communication, use the Q4ARCPU whose year and month of manufacture is "0012" or later and whose function version is B or later.

(7) About Ethernet communication

(a) When access is made to the QnACPU, AnUCPU, QCPU (A mode) or motion

controller CPU via the E71, the device range is equivalent to that of the AnACPU.

(b) When making access to the programmable controller CPU through Ethernet

communication, the functions may not be executed depending on the programmable controller CPU status.

1) When the protocol is TCP/IP (target module: E71, QE71) The functions can be executed only when the communication target programmable controller CPU is in the RUN mode. An error is returned if the programmable controller CPU is in other than the RUN mode.

2) When the protocol is UDP/IP (target module: E71, QE71) The functions cannot be executed until the communication target programmable controller CPU is RUN once. An error is returned if the programmable controller CPU has not been RUN once.

module is reset during Ethernet communication (when the protocol is TCP/IP). In that case, perform line close processing (Close) and then execute reopen processing (Open).

A - 12 A - 12

(d) When two different communication systems (protocols) are used to make

access from one IBM-PC/AT compatible to one Q series-compatible E71, two station numbers, i.e. for TCP/IP and for UDP/IP, must be set. However, it is not required to set different station numbers for TCP/IP and UDP/IP when using MX Component Version 3 or later and Q series-compatible E71 with serial No. 05051 or later.

(Example) When MX Component uses TCP/IP and GX Developer uses

Instructions for modem communication

(1) Simultaneous modem communications

It is not allowed to simultaneously perform modem communications using MX Component and other application such as GX Developer. Do not perform a modem communication using other applications during a modem communication using MX Component. If modem communications are simultaneously performed using MX Component and other application, this will result in a communication error, disconnection of telephone line or similar problem.

(2) Instructions for the use of telephone line

(a) Do not use the call-waiting phone line.

On the call-waiting phone line, data corruption, telephone line disconnection or similar may occur due to interrupt reading sounds.

(b) Do not connect the line to master/slave phones.

If the handset of the slave phone is lifted while the telephone line is connecting to the master/slave phones, the telephone line may be disconnected.

When using a digital line, use a terminal adaptor. When the telephone line is of 4 wire type, the line may not be connected depending on the wiring type of the modular jack. For the 4 wire type, conduct connection tests in advance to check for connection.

(3) Instructions for the use of cellular phone

(a) Modem for radio communication using a cellular phone

Although the modem name is different depending on the maker, the modem is generically referred to as the cellular phone communication unit in this manual. Select the model of the cellular phone communication unit according to the cellular phone used. For details, contact the company of your cellular phone.

(b) Cellular phone without auto answer function

For the cellular phone without auto answer function, use a cellular phone communication unit that has the ANS/ORG/TEL select switch. If the cellular phone communication unit does not have the ANS/ORG/TEL select switch, it is impossible to connect the line. The line connection procedure is different depending on the cellular phone company and cellular phone model. For details, contact the maker of your cellular phone.

Number of controls pasted to Excel files : A total of 150 or more controls used in the whole BOOK

CPU : Pentium

166MHz Memory : 64MB Hard disk : 8GB (free space 6GB)

The phenomenon has been confirmed to occur when the Matrox make MGA Mystique graphic card display driver is used. This is because Version 4.12 of the MGA Mystique graphic card display driver is not compatible with Windows

Me.

After changing the used graphic driver for the standard VGA driver, delete the temporary data (*.emf) left in the temporary folder. After that, try starting multiple Excel files. The phenomenon seems to be the same if it does not occur by changing the driver for the standard VGA driver.

If this phenomenon occurs, the temporary data (*.emf) will be left in the temporary folder of the system. You have to delete the remaining temporary data (*.emf) manually. The temporary folder of the system is normally in "C:\Temp". After that, take either of the following actions.

1) Use the graphic card and display driver which support Windows

Me.

2) Reduce the number of control objects pasted to the Excel files.
