3 OPERATION PROCEDURES
This chapter explains the selection of the MX Component development type and the
procedures for creating user applications.
3.1 Selecting the Development Type
When using MX Component to create user applications, choose the utility setting type
or program setting type before creating a user application.
The utility setting type and program setting type will be described.
(1) Utility setting type
Make communication settings using the communication setting wizard.
Using the communication setup utility enables you to create a user program
without being aware of the complicated parameters of any communication.
In the user program, the communication line can be connected by simply setting
the logical station number set on the communication setting wizard to the ACT
control property or into a user program.
(2) Program setting type
A user program is created without using the communication setup utility.
Make ACT control settings for the corresponding communication in the property
window directly or within the user program.
The properties necessary to be set depend on the ACT control.
(3) Comparison
The following table compares the utility setting type and program setting type.
