If PLC projects are updated, the CPU type of the PLC project can only be determined for GX Works2

projects. If the GXW2 project is not for a QnU-CPU, the following error is displayed and the update is

aborted.

Update of PLC Projects and Parameter Files

If paths to projects or parameter files have been assigned in the 'Multiple CPU Settings' dialog, these

projects/files are updated as well. At present for QnU-CPUs GD-, GID- and GXW2-projects and for

NC-CPUs the ASCII parameter files handled by the ‘Remote Monitor Tool’ are supported.

Note: there is no offline parameter update for motion-CPUs.

Sequence when updating Parameters

A prerequisite for setting the multi-CPU settings is the ‘I/O Assignment’. The ‘I/O Assignment’ is

part of the CPU parameters and for example set in the ‘Q Parameter Setting’ dialog of GX Works2.
