<2. Basic Design and Function Design>
2.2 Pre-Application Creation Checklist
This section covers checking items on application programming tools,
application size, etc, before creating applications.
2.2.1 Checking Revisions of FCN-500, FCN-RTU and Tools
Before programming applications, check the revisions of the FCN/FCJ Basic
Software and each tool to be used in subsequent engineering. These include:
- FCN/FCJ Basic Software (stored on the system card)
- Resource Configurator
- Logic Designer
- Various application portfolios
The revision of the FCN/FCJ Basic Software should match the revision of the
CPU module (on-board flash memory).
SEE ALSO
For details on how to check the revision of the system card, see "● Revision of System Card Used”
of Section 5.1.1, “Precautions of Testing when Using In-house Equipment.”
● For New System Implementation
When implementing a new system, using the latest versions of the FCN/FCJ
Basic Software and tools listed above is recommended.
If application development is to be carried out using in-house development
equipment instead of the target equipment, upgrade the FCN-500, FCN-RTU,
Logic Designer and all software tools to the latest versions before starting
application creation.
● For System Modification
When modifying an existing application using in-house development equipment,
whether revisions of the FCN/FCJ Basic Software and the various tools listed
above of the in-house equipment match those of the existing system is needed to
be checked.
When carrying out engineering for system modification using in-house equipment
having revisions later than the existing system, beware of using new system
functions not supported in the existing system. Otherwise, the application may,
despite thorough testing on in-house equipment, fail to be downloaded to the
existing system or, even if successfully downloaded to the existing system, fail to
run or fail to run correctly.
Moreover, even if a function used in the modified application is present on the
existing system, its operation specification may be different because of functional
enhancements included in the revision upgrade so that the modified application
may behave differently when tested on in-house equipment and when executed
on the existing system after delivery.
