2.4.5 Programming tool and connection cable for Q series CPU

(1) Programming tool for Q series CPU
Programming for Q series CPU modules is performed using GX works2/GX Developer.
Note that other programming software packages cannot be used.
Remarks
The existing programs for the A/QnA CPU module cannot be used in GX Works2, because GX Works2
does not support the A/QnA series. Change "PLC type" again after changing the existing program into
QCPU by "Change PLC type" and opening the program for the Q series on GX Works2.
(2) Connection cable for Q series CPU
When connecting a personal computer in which GX Works2/GX Developer has been installed to the
QCPU, RS-232 connection, USB connection, and Ethernet connection are available. The availability
depending on CPU model is shown in the following table.
Note that the RS-232/RS-422 conversion cable for the AnS/QnAS series CPU are not applicable.
When the RS-232 connection or USB connection is used, a module failure may occur depending on a
personal computer model and its use conditions. For details, refer to the technical bulletin, "Cautions
when using MELSEC-Q/L/QS/AnS series, MELSEC iQ-R series, and GOT-A900/GOT1000/GOT2000
series connected to a personal computer with the RS-232/USB interface (T99-0032)".
