7 MANAGEMENT OF DATA IN THE PLC CPU
7.2 Opening the Data in the PLC CPU
The data (programs, parameters, etc. other than general data (PLC user data)) stored
in the PLC CPU are read and edited on GX Developer.
The data of GX Configurator-QP and GX Configurator-CC cannot be opened from GX
Explorer.
(1) Operation example
Double-click the PLC CPU, memory or data you want to edit, or right-click and
click the [Run a related application] menu.
GX Developer starts and the data stored in the specified memory are read.
(Specifying the PLC CPU reads data from the program memory/device memory
for the QCPU (Q mode) or from the built-in RAM/device memory for the
QnACPU.)
Double-click, or right-click and
click [Run a related application]
menu.
When the device comments are stored in the PLC CPU, a screen appears to
warn that only the data of the comment range setting will be read. (Refer to
Section 7.1.4.)
When the device memory data are stored in the PLC CPU, the device memory
read dialog box appears. (Refer to Section 7.1.5 for the device memory read
dialog box.)
(2) After starting GX Developer
The read data can be edited as "Unset project".
When you want to reflect the edited data on the PLC CPU, perform write to PLC
using GX Developer.
When you want to save the edited data, save it with a name using GX Developer.
GX Developer that has been started cannot be terminated from GX Explorer. GX
Developer must be terminated by itself.
