Procedure 1: Changing programmable controller type in GX Developer
(Project menu)
([Change PLC type] window)
* For detail operation instructions, refer to the following manual.
Transition from MELSEC-A/QnA(Large Type)Series to Q Series Handbook(Fundamentals)(L-08043ENG)
[7.1.2 Changing programmable controller type]
This chapter explains how to replace SFC programs (MELSAP-
ΙΙ
) created in ACPU with SFC programs
(MELSAP3) for QCPU and the necessary modifications after the replacement.
• The SFC program (MELSAP-
ΙΙ
) created in ACPU can be converted to QCPU SFC program
(MELSAP3) through "Change PLC type" in GX Developer. This program can be used without
further modifications.
• SFC program (MELSAP3) has the same specifications in QnACPU as in QCPU. Therefore, it is not
necessary to modify the program after executing "Change PLC type" in GX Developer.
• SFC programs (MELSAP-
ΙΙ
and MELSAP3) created with MS-DOS-compatible programming
software (SW
IVD
/
NX-GPPA and SW
IVD
/
NX-GPPQ) can be converted and utilized after being
imported to GX Developer.
Solution and Benefit
"Change PLC type" is a function that changes the target programmable controller type of the data being read
through GX Developer. The sequence programs are also automatically converted to comply with the target
programmable controller. However, instructions that cannot convert automatically are replaced with the
instructions shown below.
• High Performance Model QCPU: OUT SM1255
• Basic Model QCPU: OUT SM999
Search for these "OUT" instructions or SM1255/SM999 devices and manually modify the converted programs.
Additionally, intelligent function modules and network modules may require program and parameter
modifications.

Tip
Files in GPPQ/GPPA format, which were created/saved using SW�IVD-GPPA, SW�IVD/NX-GPPQ, should be
converted into GX Developer format using "Import file".
Execute "Change PLC type" after the file is imported to GX Developer.
* For detail operation instructions, refer to the following manual.
