5.2.2 In the case of programming tool (version) not applicable
Inapplicable programming tools can be used by selecting an alternative PLC model.
1. Alternative model setting
*1. "FX2N" is selected when the FX-10P(-E) is used.
2. Contents of restrictions
• Programming is enabled only for the range of functionality available in the PLC selected as the alternative
model, such as instructions, device ranges and program sizes. When the FX-10P(-E) is used, the range of
functionality is limited to that available in the FX
2N PLC.
• Use a programming tool that can select either FX
3G to change parameters, i.e. memory capacity, file
register capacity, etc.
• The built-in USB port cannot be used for programming communication.
5.2.3 Program transfer speed and programming tools
1. Built-in USB communication
The FX3G PLC has a built-in USB communication port, and performs program writing, program reading and
