21 GX Configurator-DP

This menu command is used to save a modified project with a new assigned file name. This

command uses the dialog box for file saving.

The file extension *.DP2 or *.DPX is appended automatically depending on the module type you

selected.

Command Export

This menu command opens another submenu in which the user can choose between generating

PLC program code or saving the configuration image to file for a download to the master with a

different tool.

POU for GX IEC Developer

This function generates PLC program code for GX IEC Developer (GID), which assists the

application programmer in accessing the I/O data cyclicly transferred via PROFIBUS. The type

and contents of the generated code depend on the type of the master module.

For A(1S)J71PB92D and QJ71PB92D in operating mode E as well as for QJ71PB92V modules

an ASCII file and a user library are generated by GXDP in the given directory. The ASCII file

contains the task definition and the reference to the user library. The user library contains the DUT

definitions, global variable declarations and program instructions for

I/O mapping

. When

importing the ASCII file into a GID project, the user library is automatically imported as well.

For FX3U-64DP-M master modules the 'Copy POU' or the 'I/O Mapping POU' can be generated.

The 'I/O Mapping POU' contains global variables for access to PROFIBUS I/O. It does however

not ensure data consistency. This is only done by the 'Copy POU'.

All slaves in the project are checked whether they require consistency. If a slave requires

consistency, the user is informed and can only generate the 'Copy POU'.

If consistency is not required, the user can choose for an FX3U-64DP-M master between the

normal 'Copy POU' or the 'I/O Mapping POU'.
