an alternative model)
Even using a programming tool not applicable to the FX
alternative model is set.
In this case, however, programming is enabled only in the function ranges such as instructions, device ranges and
program sizes available in a PLC selected as the alternative model. Use a programming tool which can select the
model (FX3G, FX3U(C) or FX3UC) to change parameters such as memory capacity and file register capacity.
Use a programming tool which can select "FX3G" to perform communication using the standard USB port built in FX
PLCs.
