FX3G/FX3U/FX3GC/FX3UC Series
Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition
2 Overview (Sequence Program)
2.7 Types and Setting of Parameters
2.7.3 Memory capacity setting range
~ Built-in memory capacity 3 Can be set by changing parameter.
Cautions on setting the memory capacity
When one block is set in each capacity setting, the memory capacity is reduced by 500 steps.
Each setting should satisfy the following expression:
1) With regard to the comment capacity, up to 50 device comments can be set in one block.
2) With regard to the file register capacity, up to 500 (16-bit) file registers can be set in one block.
3) In the special unit initial value setting
*1
, 8 blocks (4000 steps) are used.
4) In the positioning setting
*2
, 18 blocks (9000 steps) are used.
5) In the built-in CC-Link/LT setup
*3
, 1 block (500 steps) are used.
*1. This item is supported only in FX3U/FX3UC PLCs, and can be set using GX Developer Ver. 8.24A or later.
*2. This item can be set using GX Developer Ver. 8.24A or later in FX3U/FX3UC PLCs, and using GX Developer
Ver. 8.72A or later in FX3G/FX3GC PLCs.
*3. This item is supported only in the FX3UC-32MT-LT-2, and can be set using GX Developer Ver. 8.68W or later.
Caution
• After changing the memory capacity setting, make sure to write both the programs and parameters to the PLC.
If only the parameters are written to the PLC, program errors (such as parameter error, circuit error and grammar
error) may occur in the PLC.
•FX3G/FX3GC PLCs operate in the extension mode when the program capacity (which is available for sequence
programs, and excludes the comment capacity, file register capacity, etc.) is 16,001 steps or more, and operate in
the standard mode when the program capacity is 16,000 steps or less. The instruction execution time is longer in
the extension mode than in the standard mode.
Example: Time required to execute the basic instruction "LD"
Standard mode: 0.21 µs Extension mode: 0.42 µs
•The FX
3U/FX3UC PLCs can store symbolic information in the following capacity:
- The FX3U-FLROM-1M (memory cassette) has an area dedicated to the storage of symbolic information, and can
store up to 1300 kB.
- When storing the symbolic information in any memory cassette other than the FX3U-FLROM-1M or to the built-in
memory, make sure that amount of the symbolic information to be stored does not exceed the available memory
capacity.
It is recommended to use the FX3U-FLROM-1M when there is a large amount of symbolic information to be
stored.
Symbolic information capacity = Maximum capacity of memory cassette - Memory capacity set by parameters
It is possible to check the symbolic information capacity using the memory capacity calculation (offline) of GX Works2.
→ Refer to the GX Works2 Version 1 Operating Manual (Common) for details.
• When symbolic information is stored, it is deleted if the memory capacity set by parameters is changed.
After changing the memory capacity, write the symbolic information again.
