5.4 File Operations by GX Developer and Handling Precautions
5.4.4 Units of file sizes
5.4.4 Units of file sizes
(1) Definition
When a file is written to the memory area, the unit of the stored file depends on the CPU module and memory
area to be written. This unit is referred to as a file size unit.
(a) File size unit for each memory area
The following table shows the file size unit depending on the CPU module and memory area to be written.
*1: The file size unit of the Flash card is applied when a file is written to the Flash card by [Online] [Write the program
memory to ROM] in GX Developer. ( Section 5.2.6)
*2: For the High Performance model QCPU, if the serial number (first five digits) is "04121" or earlier, the file size unit will be
1024 steps/4096 bytes.
*3: For the Q12HCPU or Q25HCPU, if the serial number (first five digits) is "02091" or earlier, the file size unit will be 512
bytes.
*4: For the Process CPU, if the serial number (first five digits) is "07031" or earlier, the file size unit will be 1024 steps/4096
bytes.
(b) File size unit for each memory card
*1: The file size unit of the Flash card is applied when:
• a file is written to the Flash card by [Online] [Write to PLC (Flash ROM)] in GX Developer, or
( Section 5.2.6(1)(b))
• a file is written to the Flash card by GX Developer without accessing the CPU module.
( Section 5.2.6)
