5.2 Installing and Uninstalling the Utility Package

See "Method of installing the MELSOFT Seri es" attached with the utility package

regarding the install and uninstall operat ion for the utility package.

5.2.1 User precautions

The following provides the precautions on usin g the GX Configurator-AD:

(1) Important safety information

Since GX Configurator-AD is add-in software for GX Developer, read "Safety

Precautions" and the basic operating procedures in GX Developer's operating

manual.

(2) About installation

The GX Configurator-AD is an add-in package f or GX Developer Version 4 or

later products. Therefore, install GX Configur ator-AD in a personal computer in

which GX Developer Version 4 or a later product has been installed.

(3) About display-screen errors while using the intelligent function

module utility

There may be cases in which the screen will not properly display while th e

intelligent function module utility is being used, due to a lack of system resources.

If this occurs, close the intelligent function m odule utility first and then GX

Developer (program, comments, etc.) and other applications. Next, restart GX

Developer and the intelligent function modu le utility.

(4) To start the intelligent function module utility

(a) In GX Developer, select "QCPU (Q mode)" for the PLC series and specify

the project.

If something other than "QCPU (Q mode)" is selected for the PLC series, or if

the project is not specified, the intelligent function module utility will not start.

(b) Multiple intelligent function module uti lities can be started.

However, the [Open file]/[Save file] intelligent function m odule's parameter

operations can only be performed by a single i ntelligent function module

utility. Other intelligent function module u tilities can perform the [Monitor/test]

operation only.

(5) How to switch screens when two or more intelligent function

module utilities are started

When two or more intelligent function module utility screens cannot be displayed

side by side, use the task bar to change the inte lligent function module utility

screen so that it is displayed on top of other screens.
