COMMUNICATION WITH INTELLIGENT FUNCTION
MODULE
8.1.1 Initial setting and auto refresh setting by GX Configurator
The initial setting and auto refresh setting of the intelligent function modules can be
performed by adding in intelligent function module-compatible GX Configurator to GX
Developer.
Making initial setting and auto refresh setting of the intelligent function modules on GX
Configurator enables write/read of data without creation of a program for communication
with the intelligent function modules.
(1) Starting GX Configurator
To start GX Configurator, choose [Tools] [Intelligent function module utility] [Start]
on GX Developer.
(2) Setting using the GX Configurator
This section describes the example to set the initial setting and automatic refresh
setting of A/D conversion module Q64AD.
(a) Initial setting
The initial setting of Q64AD offers the following four settings:
• A/D conversion enable/disable setting
• Sampling process/averaging process setting
• Time/number of times specifying
• Average time/average number of times setting
The initial setting of Q64AD is designated on the following initial setting screen of
GX Configurator (Figure 8.1).
The set initial setting data are stored into the intelligent function module
parameters of the CPU module.
