See "Method of installing the MELSOFT Series" attached with the utility package regarding the install and uninstall operation for the utility package.

8.2.1 Usage precautions

The following describes the precautions on using the utility package:

(1) Important safety information

Since the utility package is add-in software for GX Developer, read "Safety

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

Operating Manual.

(2) About installation

The GX Configurator-SC (utility package) is an add-in package for GX Developer

Version 4 or later products.

Therefore, install GX Configurator-SC 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 the intelligent function module utility is being used, due to a lack of system resources. If this occurs, close the intelligent function module utility first and then GX Developer (program, comments, etc.) and other applications. Then, restart GX Developer and the intelligent function module 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 anything 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 utilities can be started.

However, the [Open file]/[Save file] intelligent function module's parameter operations can only be performed by a single intelligent function module utility. Other intelligent function module utilities can perform the [Monitor/Test] operation only.

(5)How to change 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 intelligent function module utility screen so that it is displayed on top of other screens.
