[Cautions Regarding Test Operation]
!
DANGER
• GX Simulator simulates an actual PLC CPU to debug the created programs; however, it does
not guarantee the operation of the debugged sequence program.
Be sure to connect the PC with PLC CPU to debug the program as usual prior to actual
operation, after debugging with GX Simulator.
Failure to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or misoperation.
• The simulated result may differ from actual operation because GX Simulator cannot access I/O
modules or special function modules, and do not support some instructions or device memory.
Be sure to connect the PC with PLC CPU to debug the program as usual prior to actual
operation, after debugging with GX Simulator.
Failure to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or misoperation.
• GX Simulator includes serial communication function to respond to the demands from external
devices; however, it does not guarantee the actual operation of the external devices using the
response data.
Do not use the response data from the running GX Simulator for other than the checking by
performing the serial communication function for the external device such as PC.
Failure to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or misoperation.
