1.1.3Precautions

(1)When using the multiple CPU system

When using the GOT to monitor the multiple CPU system of other stations, select [MELSEC-Q(Multi)/Q-Motion] or [MELSEC-QnU, Q17nD/M/NC/DR, CRnD-700] for the type, regardless of the host PLC CPU type (QCPU, QnACPU, ACPU). When other models are selected, the setting of the CPU No. becomes unavailable.

(2)Precautions for changing model

(a)When devices that cannot be converted are included.

When setting of [Manufacturer] or [Controller Type] is changed, GT Designer3 displays the device that cannot be converted (no corresponding device type, or excessive setting ranges as [??]. In this case, set the device again.

(b)When the changed Manufacturer or Controller Type does not correspond to the network. The network will be set to the host station.

(c)When the Manufacturer or Controller Type is changed to [None]

The GT Designer3 displays the device of the changed channel No. as [??]. In this case, set the device again.

Since the channel No. is retained, the objects can be reused in other channel No. in a batch by using the [Device Bach Edit], [CH No. Batch Edit] or [Device List].
