Posted 6 Aug 2006 Q173CPU is a motion CPU. It cannot work standalone. You always have to use a PLC CPU. See for more information the multiple CPU settings in your manual. The PLC CPU you can program with GX Developer and the Motion CPU you can program with MT Developer. This is a software from Mitsubishi. In here you can program the motion cpu in SFC programs.

Posted 9 Aug 2006 As was stated, the GX-Developer software will talk to the sequence CPUs, not the motion CPU. You will need GX-Developer for the first CPU and then MT-Developer can be purchased for the second one. That CPU will control up to 32 axes of servo motion over SSCNET, and it programs in a special motion SFC language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
