SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention
to safety to handle the product correctly.
The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety instructions of the
programmable controller system, please read the CPU module user's manual.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
Configure safety circuits external to the C Controller module to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the C Controller module.
For the following controls, configure an interlock circuit in the user program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely.
(1) Changing data of the running C Controller module from the development environment (personal
computer) connected
(2) Changing the operating status
(3) Operating from the development environment (personal computer)
Especially, in the case of control from an external device to a remote C Controller module, immediate
action cannot be taken for a problem on the C Controller module due to a communication failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the user program, and determine corrective actions to
be taken between the external device and C Controller module in case of a communication failure.
WARNING
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are given in this section.
(1) Precautions for installation and uninstallation
(a) Installation by overwriting
• When installing utility by overwriting, the same folder where the existing one
is installed must be used.
Any other folders cannot be used.
• Installation by overwriting is available only onto the same version of
SW3PVC-CCPU.
To install another version of utility, uninstall existing one before installation.
(b) Uninstallation
Do not terminate uninstallation during processing.
If terminated, redo the uninstallation all over again.
If the uninstallation fails after terminating the uninstallation, reinstall the software
and then uninstall it again.
(2) Precautions for utility
(a) Communication error of utility
When the line is congested, communication errors (time out errors) are more likely
to occur (monitoring stops if running) in each utility.
If a utility communication error has occurred, set the connection target again in
Connection setting.
(b) Connection during script file processing
Connection from utility to a C Controller module may not be available during
processing a script file (while the RUN LED is flashing).
Finish the script file processing before connecting utility to a C Controller module.
If the RUN LED remains flashing, refer to the C Controller Module User's Manual
(Hardware Design, Function Explanation) and troubleshoot the problem.
(c) Terminating Microsoft® Windows®
Do not terminate Microsoft® Windows®while utility other than Device monitoring
utility is running.
Terminate all the running utility (other than Device monitoring utility) first and then
Microsoft® Windows®.

For each utility Page A-6
For programming Page A-7
For debugging a program Page A-11
For using FTP Page A-16
For the Wind River Systems product Page A-16

A- 7
(d) Parameters
Parameters written from utility other than Device monitoring utility to a C
Controller module will take effect when the C Controller module is powered off and
then on or is reset.
Written parameters will not take effect by changing the C Controller module status
from STOP to RUN by remote operation or by a switch.
(3) Precautions for programming
(a) Restrictions on the bus interface functions and MELSEC data link functions
1) Endian format (memory layout)
There are two models of the Q06CCPU-V(-B), which are in little endian format
(memory layout) and in big endian format.
Create user programs in either little or big endian that is appropriate to the
model used.
(Set the compiler by selecting "A toolchain" when creating a project on
Tornado. ( Page 9-17, Section 9.4.2))
2) User program execution
Execute a user program by starting a task from the script file.
( Page 9-51, Section 9.9)
The system may malfunction if the user program is executed without a task
being started.
3) Execution type priority
Set the priority of a task for executing the FTP user program as described
below.
[When access is not made via FTP during user program execution]
Set the priority of the user program task to 100 or more (100 to 255).
If the priority is set within 0 to 99, the system may not operate properly.
[When access is made via FTP during user program execution]
The actual FTP processing (task) of the C Controller module is performed at
the priority of 200.
When accessing via FTP during executing a user program, perform
programming as described below.
• Set the priority of the user program task within 201 to 255.
• When setting the priority of the user program task within 100 to 200, insert
a wait processing (such as taskDalay) in the user program to let the actual
FTP processing operate.

A- 8
4) To communicate with a target device by Ethernet communication
(excluding utility communications)
Check the port number being used in the C Controller module by using the
VxWorks- standard "inetstatShow" command.
Do not use any port number that has already been used. Normal
communication may not be available if used.
Execute the "inetstatShow" command as follows:
[For the Q12DCCPU-V]
Use the Telnet tool.
[For the Q06CCPU-V(-B)]
Execute from the Tornado Shell.
Example) When using the Telnet tool on the Q12DCCPU-V
5) When writing a file from a user program in the Q06CCPU-V(-B)
Do not write a file to the standard ROM.
Write it to a CompactFlash card, network device (such as FTP/NFS/netDrv
driver) file, or RAM disk.
For details of network devices and RAM disks, refer to the manual for
VxWorks.
6) When the operation status is changed from RUN to STOP/PAUSE
When the operation status of the C Controller module is changed from RUN to
STOP/PAUSE, the user program task does not stop.
Use the QBF_Read StatusEx function when splitting the user program
processing according to the operation status of the C Controller module.
