8 UTILITY PACKAGE (GX Configurator-SC)

The GX Configurator-SC is a tool that supports the production of necessary PLC programs with initial setting, monitoring and testing, and data communication processing of the Q series C24.

The GX Configurator-SC is composed of an intelligent function utility and protocol FB support function.

(1) Intelligent function utility (utility package) (see this chapter)

The utility package facilitates the initial settings and monitoring of the Q series C24 by using dedicated screens without having to consider the I/O signals or buffer memory.

The utility package can also be used together with the GX Simulator (SWnD5- LLT-E).

 

(2) Protocol FB support function

 

The protocol FB support function automatically generates the FB (function block)

 

for communication that supports data communication processing and traces the

8

network that monitors the data transmitted/received on the communication

network.

By using the protocol FB support function, producing PLC programs and transmission debug is made easy.

For details on the protocol FB support function, see the GX Configurator-SC Operating Manual (Protocol FB support function).
