After converting the projects, it may be necessary to adjust the programs (instructions, devices) and parameters.
4.1 Operation Method for Replacing Projects
For converting the projects of FX3U/FX3UC to MELSEC iQ-F, perform by using GX Works3.
To convert the projects, install the engineering tool of the following version.
GX Works3 only supports the GX Works2 format projects of FX3U/FX3UC.
When converting project data other than FX3U/FX3UC, change the PLC type to FX3U/FX3UC using GX
Works2. After changing the PLC type, check that there is no error using GX Works2, and then convert to
MELSEC iQ-F using GX Works3.
• The projects cannot be read out from the CPU module of FX3 Series using GX Works3. To read out the projects, use GX
Works2 to read out. (GX Works2 is supplied with GX Works3.)
• To read out projects of GX Works2 using GX Works3, convert beforehand using GX Works2, and then read out the projects.
Even for projects converted using GX Works2, conversion may not be performed according to the state of the project. If
there is an error in the program, read out will be canceled.
• To read out projects of GX Works2 using GX Works3, administrator rights are required.
