GX Configurator DP Autorefresh

[jamesfkelly]

Good afternoon all, I am using GX Configurator-DP 7.05F to configure a QJ71PB92V on my rack. The PLC CPU is a Q04UDEH, it is the second card in the system and as a starting address of 0x20 (I have a 32-byte Data logger in the slot before it). I have a total of 8 intelligent function modules on a 12 slot backplane, including the data logger (QD81DL96), 3 Q68ADV, a Q68DAVN, and 2 Q64RD. When I try to down load the settings from the GX Configurator to the PLC I can successfully download to the PROFIBUS card and it begins to transmit when I start it. But I get an error about the autorefresh settings that reads as follows: Error during updating of the CPU: The number of autorefresh entries exceeds the maximum supported by the CPU. To reduc the number of entries select 'Block Transfer'. Please consult the manual of the QJ71PB92V for details. Then it tells me 'Failed to update autorefresh settings on the CPU.' I get this error even if I format the CPU memory before downloading the code, meaning that I have not used a single autorefresh setting. And according to the documentation I should have 2048 available settings. I am only using 8 words (D50-D53 Input and D100-D103 Output) at this time. All the manuals I can find for both GX Configurator and the QJ71PB92V explain everything using GX IED Developer and I am working with GX Works2. So they are nearly useless. Can anyone help me with this issue or point to where I might be able to find a solution? Regards, James

How many auto-refresh settings are you using for your other intelligent function modules? You can check this in GX Works2 using the Project->Intelligent Function Module->Intelligent Function Module Parameter List menu command. Before downloading the Profibus config, you can also check the number of all auto-refresh settings currently on the PLC using the Diagnostics->PLC Autorefresh Settings command in GX Configurator-DP. This may give a clue what's causing the problem. Best regards, Digital Diamonds Support
