35 GX Configurator-DP

By updating the GID project instead of the CPU directly it is ensured that the autorefresh settings

for PROFIBUS are not accidentally deleted by a download of autorefresh settings from GID.

Note:

If the PROFIBUS master is located in a Q-series 'Remote I/O' rack, the option '

AutoRefresh (Update of GID Project)

' must be selected. The selected GID project must

be the one for the 'Remote I/O', not for the controlling CPU. This will add the autorefresh

settings to the 'Remote I/O', which will exchange the I/O data between the buffer memory

of the PROFIBUS master and the transfer devices in the 'Remote I/O'. These transfer

devices must be exchanged via MELSECNET with the controlling CPU.

The

I/O mapping POU

(without FROM/TO instructions) must be imported in the GID

project for the controlling CPU. It will access the devices transferred via MELSECNET

with the 'Remote I/O'.

GX IEC Developer (GID) Settings

In the GID settings page the user can select the path of the GID project file for the PLC, in which

the PROFIBUS master is installed. This path is used to locate the autorefresh settings of the GID

project.
