7.10.1.4 User Library Export

In case a GXW2 or a GID project path have been assigned to a QnU-Model CPU in the 'Multiple CPU

Settings' dialog, GX Configurator-PN generates a user library for accessing the PROFINET data in

GID and GXW2 projects.

If a GID project path has been assigned, the user library is generated in a sub folder of the GID pro-

ject directory. This corresponds to the process for GXW2 projects in workspace format as described

in 'GX Works2 Support. The difference between GID and GXW2 projects is that in case of GID the

user library is not automatically installed in the PLC project. The user must do this manually using

the respective GID menu items as indicated by a message box.

For GXW2 projects the user library is generated and automatically installed in the project. This is ex-

plained in more detail in section 'GX Works2 Support'.

7.10.1.5 GX Works2 Support

GX Configurator-PN can update both the parameter data and the PROFINET user library (POU) in a

GXW2 project, if at least version 1.501X of GX Works2 is installed on the same computer.

The update is performed, when the QnU-CPU download option is selected as described in ‘Update

Parameters’ dialog.

Only QnU-Model CPU projects are updated. The user library (.sul) exported by GX Configurator-PN

is directly installed in the GXW2 project of theQnU-CPU, which communicates with the PN control-

ler. The multi-CPU settings are updated in the GXW2 projects of all CPUs.

Both formats (single file and workspace) of GXW2 project files are supported. The location and the

name of the user library differ for both project formats.

Single File Format Project: the user library is stored in a sub folder of the directory, where the

GXW2 project is located. The sub folder is named as the corresponding GXW2 project file. The user

library is stored in this folder with the fixed file name ‘PROFINET_IO_ME1PN1FW_Q.sul’.

Example:

Workspace Format Project: the user library is stored in a sub folder of the GXW2 project directory.

The sub folder name is always 'ProfiNet'. The name of the user library file is fixed to

‘PROFINET_IO_ME1PN1FW_Q.sul’ like for single file format projects.
