(1) Saving the intelligent function module parameter files
Since files cannot be saved using the GX Developer project save operation,
save the files using the module selection screen for intelligent function module
parameter setting described above.
(2) Reading from and writing to PLC operations for the intelligent function module
parameters using GX Developer
(a) After the intelligent function module parameters are saved in a file, they
can be read from and written into the PLC.
(b) Set the target PLC CPU using GX Developer [Online] [Transfer setup].
(c) When the D/A Conversion module is installed to the remote I/O station,
use "Read from PLC" and "Write to PLC".
(3) Checking for the required utility
The head I/O is displayed in the Intelligent function module utility setting
screen, but a " " may be displayed for the model name.
This means that either the required utility is not installed or that the utility
cannot be started from the GX Developer.
Check for the required utility in [Tools] - [Intelligent function utility] - [Utility
list...] in GX Developer, and set it.
