Operation
Operation when a CPU
module is reset.
The entire system is reset by
resetting the Universal model
QCPU.
The entire system is reset by
resetting the Process CPU (CPU
No.1).
(Resetting CPU No.2 to No.4
individually is not allowed.)

Section 4.6
Operation when a stop error
has occurred in a CPU
module
The system stops.
If a stop error has occurred in the
Process CPU (CPU No.1), the
system stops. ("MULTI CPU
DOWN" (error code: 7000) occurs in
CPU No.2 to No.4.)
If a stop error has occurred in CPU
No.2 to No.4, the operation depends
on the parameter setting
("Operation Mode").

Multiple CPU system
synchronized startup
Not supported
Whether to synchronize the startup
of CPU modules in the multiple CPU
system or not can be set.
(The default is set to be
synchronized.)

Communications by
programs using the CPU
shared memory
Not supported
Data communications is performed
by using the TO, FROM instructions,
and instructions using the cyclic
transmission area device
(U3En\G).

Communications between
Universal model QCPU and
Motion CPU
Not supported
Data communications is performed
by using five motion dedicated
instructions and three multiple CPU
transmission dedicated instructions.

Not supported
Data communications is performed
by using two multiple CPU high-
speed transmission dedicated
instructions.

Factors that increase scan
time
• Writing data during RUN
• Time reserved for
communication processing
• Writing data during RUN
• Time reserved for communication
