2. In the case of programming tool (version) not applicable to FX3G, FX3GC, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs
(using an alternative model)
Even using a programming tool not applicable to the FX3G, FX3GC, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs, programming is enabled
when an 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 (FX
3G, FX3GC, FX3U or FX3UC) to change parameters such as memory capacity and file register capacity.
Use a programming tool which can select "FX3G, FX3GC" to perform communication using the standard USB port
built in FX3G, FX3GC PLCs.
*1. For Ver. 8.18U to 8.24A of GX Developer, the PLC type is FX3UC.
*2. "FX2N" is selected when the FX-10P(-E) is used.
3. Program transfer speed and programming tools
