Since GX Configurator-MB is add-on software for use with GX Developer, read and
understand the basic operating instructions and safety precautions given in the GX
Developer Operating Manual.

GX Configurator-MB is added on and started with GX Developer Version 4 or later.
Install GX Configurator-MB into a personal computer that already has GX Developer
Version 4 or later installed.
(3) On-screen display errors during use of GX Configurator-MB
Due to insufficient system resources, a normal screen may not be displayed when GX
Configurator-MB is used.
In this case, close GX Configurator-MB first, and then GX Developer (programs,
comments, etc.) and any other applications, and restart GX Developer and GX
Configurator-MB in this order.
(4) Starting GX Configurator-MB
(a) PLC series set on GX Developer
On GX Developer, select "QCPU (Q mode)" for the PLC series and set a project.
If any other than "QCPU (Q mode)" is selected for the PLC series, or if no project
is set, GX Configurator-MB will not start.
(b) Activating multiple sets of utility software
Multiple sets of utility software can be activated concurrently.
Note that, however, [Open parameter]/[Save parameter] for the intelligent function
module parameters can be used on only one of them.
For other utilities, only the [Monitor/Test] operations are allowed.
