The CPU units Ver.2 are upward compatible with the conventional Ver.1.

For using CPU units Ver.2, Ver.2.0 or later version of FPWIN GR7 is required.

For using the projects (programs, comments and configuration data) created for the

conventinal CPUs Ver.1, the projects must be converted to the projects for CPU units Ver.2

using the "Convert PLC Type" function of the tool software.

For using the units released after December 2013 or add-on cassettes, Ver.2 or later version

of CPU unit is required.

The layout of the operation monitor LEDs on the CPU units has been changed.

Regulations on Encryption function in China

Some CPU units have the encryption function which encrypts a part or all parts of programs

in projects.

In China, the types equipped with the encryption function cannot be used as they are subject

to "Regulation of Commercial Encryption Codes". For using machines or systems

incorporating FP7 series in China, or exporting and importing them, select the types without

the encryption function.

1.1 Overview of Security Function

1.1.1 Precautions on Using Security Function

Security information set for each function can be cleared using the tool software, however,

performing the clearing operation also deletes project data. Fully confirm before determining

the operations of each security function.

Although the encryption function encrypts programs to make them unreadable, it cannot

protect projects from being read or rewritten. Use the password protection function in

combination as necessary.

1.1.2 Type of Security Functions

Password function （1）

This is a function to set a password for project data downloaded to the PLC for preventing

data from being read and written. Using this function prevents unnecessary rewrting or leak

of know-how.

The password is valid for configuration data, ladder programs and comments.

Operation memories can be read or written even when a password has been set.

A project for which a password has been set is saved as a password-protected file even

when it is saved on a PC. (Available in FPWIN GR7 Ver.1.3 or later)
