3. Program transfer speed and programming tool
When either of the following interfaces is used for GX Developer (Ver.8.13P or later), writing and reading of
programs and monitoring of devices can be executed at high speed (115.2 kbps) in FX
3U
and FX
3UC
PLCs.
• Standard built-in port or expansion board FX
3UC
-422-BD for RS-422
When the RS-232C/RS-422 converter FX-232AWC-H or USB/RS-422 converter FX-USB-AW is connected
• Expansion board FX
3U
-232-BD for RS-232C
• Special adapter FX
3U
-232ADP for RS-232C
• Expansion board FX
3U
-USB-BD for USB
In programming software not applicable to the FX
3UC
Series, communication is executed at 9,600 or 19,200
bps.
In GX Developer, the communication speed can be set in the following position:
Select "Online"
→
"Transfer setup..."
→
"PC side I/F", and double-click "Serial" icon.
Appendix A-1-2 Cautions on write during RUN
In FX
