CONSIDERATIONSThis section explains the considerations in the following order1)Consideration of operating system and personal puter to be used2)Consideration of installation and uninstallation3)Programmable controller CPU-related considerations4)Considerations for using of other MELSOFT products5)Considerations for using of Ether modules6)Considerations for using of CC-Link modules7)Considerations for using of serial munication modules8)Consideration of modem munication9)Consideration of programming11)Considerations for using of Microsoft Access12)Considerations for using of VBScript13)Considerations for using of Robot controllerConsiderations of operating system and personal puter to be used(1)Restrictions applied when a user without Administrator's authority operates MX ComponentNote that the following restrictions are applied when a user without Administrator's authority operates MXComponent.(a)Communication Setup UtilityThe logical station number cannot be created,changed,or deleted.Communication settings cannot be imported.This utility cannot be started up if the munication settings are set using MX Component earlier thanversion 3.00A.1(b)PLC Monitor UtilityThis utility cannot be started up if the munication settings are set using MX Component earlier thanversion 3.00A."1Device registration cannot be performed on the <>tab(c)Communication boardVarious settings cannot be set on the CC-Link IE Controller Network,CC-Link IE Field Network.MELSECNET/H.and CC-Link board utilities.*1:If the following error message is displayed,start up and close the utility as a user with Administrator's authority.This operation enables a user without Administrator's authority to start up the utility.Communication Setting WizardUpdating the system information data failed.by the administrator authority user.Re-install the application and try again(2)Resume and other functions of personal puterA munications error may occur when municating with the programmable controller CPU after setting theresume function,suspend setting,power-saving function,and/or standby mode of the personal puter.Therefore.do not set the above functions when municating with the programmable controller CPU.3Considerations of installation and uninstallation(1)InstallationWhen performing overwrite installation,install the software in the same folder where it is installed previously.(2)Start menuWhen MX Component is uninstalled,the item may remain in the start menu.In this case.restart the personal puter.(3)When downloading the installerWhen downloading the installer,save the installer to a directory which does not include any space and execute it.Programmable controller CPU-related considerations(1)Considerations for performing USB municationON/OFF of a programmable controller CPU during munications with the programmable controller CPU maycause a munication error which cannot be recovered.If it is not recovered.pletely disconnect the USB cable and then reconnect it after 5 or more seconds(If this error occurs at the initial munication after the above operation.the function will be performed properlyin and after the second munications.)(2)Clock data of programmable controller CPU(a)For QCPU (Q mode),LCPU,and FXCPU,the clock data setting can be set if the programmable controller CPUis in the RUN status(b)For QCPU (Q mode)and LCPU,the setting can be set regardless of the ON/OFF status of the time settingdevice "SM1028".(c)The clock data can be set on FXCPUs with the built-in clock or FXu/FX2c/FX2Nc with the RTC cassette.(d)Note that an error for transfer time occurs in the time setting.(3)Restrictions on using FXCPU(a)When FXCPU is used,the TN devices(timer present values)or CN devices(counter present values)cannot beaccessed if the device numbers specified are split across 199 or earlier and 200 or later.(b)Since FXCPU does not feature the PAUSE switch as the programmable controller CPU,an error is returned ifremote pause is specified in SetCpuStatus(c)Note that specifying the first I/O number of a non-existing module and executing the WriteBuffer()method willnot return an error.(d)For the index registers(Z,V)of FXCPU,data cannot be written to 2 or more consecutive points usingWriteDeviceBlock().(Data may be written to only one point.)(4)Serial munication function of Q00UJ/Q00/Q00U/Q01/Q01U/Q02UCPU*1*1 In this section,"serial munication function patible CPU"indicates Q00UJ/Q00/Q00U/Q01/Q01U/Q02UCPU.When the following conditions are all satisfied,munication between the personal puter and the serialmunication function patible CPU is set at 9600bps speedThe serial munication function of the connected CPU is valid.The transmission speed settings differ between the personal puter and the serial municationfunction patible CPU sideTo increase the munication speed,match the transmission speed of personal puter with that of serialmunication function patible CPU.4(5)Considerations for using built-in Ether CPUWhen resetting the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection establishment(during opening)using MX Component,a munication error or receive error occurs at subsequent munication.In this case,perform the close processing in the application that uses MX Component,and perfom the openprocessing again.(6)Considerations for using RnSFCPUIn order to protect the safety programmable controller system,the "write to buffer memory"and "write to safetydevices in safety mode"functions cannot be executed.(7)Considerations for using QSCPUIn order to protect the safety programmable controller system,functions to write data to buffer memory,to write/set devices,and to write clock data cannot be executed.Considerations for using other MELSOFT products(1)Considerations for performing GX Simulator municationWhen resetting the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection establishment (during opening)using MX Component,a munication error or receive error occurs at subsequent munication.In this case,perform the close processing in the application that uses MX Component,and perfom the openprocessing again.(2)Considerations for performing MT Simulator2 municationAfter installing MT Component,install MT Developer2.The maximum number of connections'1 to MT Simulator2 is 4.*1:Including in MT Developer2.Example)When two MT Developer2s and one MT Simulator2 are activated:three connections can be established from MT Component.Considerations for using Ether modules(1)Resetting the programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection establishmentWhen resetting programmable controller CPU during TCP/IP connection establishment(during opening)usingMX Component,a munication error or receive error occurs at subsequent munication.In this case,perform close the processing in the application that uses MX Component,and perform the openprocessing again.(2)Target existence check starting interval of Ether moduleIf the close processing (Close)is executed from the personal puter.the Ether module may not perform theclose processing(Close).One of its causes is the cable disconnection.If the open processing (Open)is executed from the personal puter with the Ether module not executing thedose processing(Close).the open processing(Open)from the personal puter is not terminated normally untilthe Ether module performs a target existence check and executes the close processing (Close).When terminating the open processing (Open)early from the personal puter,shorten the target existencecheck starting interval setting of the Ether module.(The default setting of target existence check starting interval of the Ether module is 10 minutes.)5(3)Replacement of Ether moduleIf the Ether modules are changed during Ether munication due to debugging,failure or the like,theother node(personal puter)must be restarted.(Because the Ether addresses(MAC addresses)differ between devices)Simultaneous access when using Q series-patible Ether moduleThe following conditions should be satisfied when munication is performed simultaneously from multiplepersonal puters to the same module using the TCP/IP protocol.Q series-patible E71 module (except QJ71E71-100)whose first five digits of the serial number is"02122"or higher and whose function version is B or later.Using GX Developer Version 6.05F or later,set"MELSOFT connection"in the Ether parameter[open system].(5)Unlocking password when using QJ71E71The range where the password can be unlocked by remote operation is up to the connection target station.If the password is also set on the lower layer,munication cannot be performed with the programmablecontroller CPU on the lower layer.StartingEnter password tosourceunlock.AAAANo.Remote Password1)With setting (AAAA)2)Without setting4)With setting (BBBB)5)Without settingEthemet1)Unlocking QJ71E71 password enablesaccess to Programmable controller CPUs in this range.6(6)Ether munication(a)The munication line is disconnected if the CPU bees faulty or the Ether module is reset duringEther munication (when the protocol is TCP/IP).In this case,perform the line close processing (Close)and then perform the reopen processing (Open).(b)When two different munication systems(protocols)are used to access from one personal puter to oneQ series-patible E71,two station numbers TCP/IP and for UDP/IP must be set.However,it is not requiredto set different station numbers for TCP/IP and for UDP/IP when using MX Component Version 3 or later and Qseries-patible E71 with serial number 05051 or higher.Example When MX Component uses TCP/IP and GX Developer uses UDP/IPPersonal puter(TCPAP)station number for MX Component:2Q series-patible E71(UDP/IP)station number for GX Developer 3(Station number:1)GX Developer(UDP/IP)MX Component(TCP/IP)Set different station numbers as the (TCP/IP)station number for MX Componentand(UDP/IP)station number for GX Developer.If they are set to the same stationnumber,an error will occur on the Ethemet module side.Considerations for using CC-Link modules(1)Software version of CC-Link master/local moduleFor CC-Link master/local modules used in CC-Link munication,use modules of software version "N"or later.Modules of software version "M"or earlier do not operate normally.Considerations for using serial munication modules(1)Serial munication(a)On any serial munication modules,remote "PAUSE"operation will result in an error for all connections.(b)The FX extended port is required when performing the serial munication using FXoN,FXis,FXIN(c),FX2N(c).(2)Considerations for connecting personal puter and serial munication module(a)When using QJ71C24-R2 of function version AAn MX Component application can use only either of CH1 and CH2.When the MELSOFT product.(GX Developer.GOT.or the like)is using one channel,the application cannotuse the other channel.When QJ71C24-R2 of function version B is used,the application can use both channels.Considerations of modem munication(1)Simultaneous modem municationsThe simultaneous modem munications using MX Component and other applications(GX Developer or thelike)cannot be performed.Do not perform a modem munication using other applications during a modem munication using MXComponent.If modem munications are simultaneously performed using MX Component and other application,this willresult in a munication error.disconnection of telephone line or similar problem.(2)Considerations for using telephone line(a)Do not use the call-waiting phone line.On the call-waiting phone line,data corruption,telephone line disconnection,or similar problem may occur dueto interrupt reading sounds.(b)Do not connect the line to master/slave phones.If the handset of the slave phone is lifted while the telephone line is connecting to the master/slave phones,thetelephone line may be disconnected.(c)Use an analog 2 wire type telephone line.When using a digital line,use a terminal adapter.When the telephone line is 4 wire type,the line may not be connected depending on the wiring type of themodular jackFor the 4 wire type,conduct connection tests in advance to check for connections.(3)Considerations for using cellular phone(a)Modem for radio munication using a cellular phoneAlthough the modem name is different according to the manufacturer,the modem is generically referred to asthe cellular phone munication unit in this manualSelect the model of the cellular phone munication unit according to the cellular phone used.For details,contact the pany of your cellular phone.(b)Cellular phone without auto answer functionFor the cellular phone without auto answer function,use a cellular phone munication unit that features theANS/ORG/TEL select switchIf the cellular phone munication unit does not have the ANS/ORG/TEL select switch,the line cannot beconnected.The line connection procedure is different according to the cellular phone pany and cellular phone model.For details,contact the manufacturer of your cellular phone.8Considerations of programming(1)Sample programs,test programs,and sample sequence programs(a)Sample programs and test programsSample programs are included for references when creating user programs.Test programs are included for conducting munication tests.Use the programs with your responsibility.(b)Sample sequence programsSample sequence programs included in MX Component require modifications according to the systemconfiguration and parameter settings.Modify the program to suit the system.Use the programs with your responsibility(2)Forced termination of processes during municationIf munication is performed with the same type of control open for multiple processes,forcing one process tobe terminated by Task Manager or the like may stop the other processes at the munication function executionarea(3)Error at munication startA munication error may occur within the preset time-out period at a munication start,for example,whenthe munication diagnostic button is pressed,when a monitoring is started,or when any function is executedThese errors are assumed to be detected before a time-out error.(Example:When the munication cable is not connected.at when the programmable controller power is off)(4)CheckDeviceStringDo not use the CheckDeviceString method of ACT control.(5)ActUMsg control and ActUWzd controlInstalling MX Component registers the ActUMsg control and the ActUWzd control,however,do not use them.(6)Considerations for using Ether modules(a)Provide an interval longer than the sequence scan time of the Ether module mounted station for a periodfrom when the Open method is executed until the Close method is executed.(b)Provide an interval of at least 500ms for a period from when the Close method is executed until the Openmethod is executed again.(7)Considerations for execution of DisconnectIf a telephone line cannot be disconnect by executing the Disconnect function for some reason,power OFF themodem being used to forcibly disconnect the telephone line.9Considerations for using Microsoft Excel(1)Considerations for using Excel VBAIf the page feed preview function is set in the application that uses Excel VBA,a memory leak or operating systembasic operation (file operation,printing,or the like)failure may occur.(2)Considerations for using Microsoft Excel(a)Occasionally,controls may not be pasted to Excel.This symptom occurs if the cache file (temporary file)of Excel remains.In such a case,perform the operation in the following procedure.Operating procedure1.Close Excel.2.Delete".exd"in the Excel 8.0 folder of the temp folders.1,*23.Restart Excel.*1:The location of temp folder differs according to the operating system.2:When the responding folder and file are not displayed,set the settings in the folder option setting to display all filesand folders.(b)Resizing of ACT control in Excel does not affect the operation of MX Component.To restore the size,set the Height and Width properties of ACT control to "24".(1)Considerations for using Microsoft Access(a)When the ACT control is pasted to an Access form and the ACT control is double-clicked or the custom controlin the property is selected,the following error message is displayed.However,this does not affect theoperation of ACT control.(An error message other than the following message may be displayed.)Microsoft Access0(b)When the ACT control is pasted and the property is displayed,the displayed property name may be collapsedThis symptom only occurs on the display of the property,and this does not affect the functions of the property.(c)Resizing of ACT control in Access does not affect the operation of MX ComponentTo restore the size.set the Height and Width properties of ACT control to "24".Considerations for using VBScript(1)Security of the Inter/intra when using VBScriptMX Component does not feature the Inter/intra security functionWhen the security function is required,set the setting on the user side10
