10.1.5 Reading the switch setting status

MELSEC-Q

This section explains how to read the switch setting status of the Q series C24. When GX Configurator-SC is used, check the status in the "Monitor/test others" screen (see Section 8.6.9).

REMARK

(1)The switch settings can be changed when the mode is switched or when the UINI instruction is executed. (The station No. setting can be changed only when the UINI instruction is executed.)

For the mode switching, refer to Chapter 15 of the User's Manual (Application). For the UINI instruction, refer to Chapter 17 of the User's Manual (Application).

(2)For the switch settings, refer to Section 4.5.
