2 For the safety instructions of theprogrammable controller system, please read the CPU module User's this Manual , the safety instructions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".!DANGERCAUTION!Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,resulting in death or severe that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical that the !CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to the follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal save this Manual to make it accessible when required and always forward it to the end user.[Cautions Regarding Test Operation]! DANGER GX Simulator simulates an actual PLC CPU to debug the created programs; however, it doesnot guarantee the operation of the debugged sequence sure to connect the PC with PLC CPU to debug the program as usual prior to actualoperation, after debugging with GX to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or misoperation.

3 The simulated result may differ from actual operation because GX Simulator cannot access I/Omodules or special function modules, and do not support some instructions or device sure to connect the PC with PLC CPU to debug the program as usual prior to actualoperation, after debugging with GX to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or misoperation. GX Simulator includes serial communication function to respond to the demands from externaldevices; however, it does not guarantee the actual operation of the external devices using theresponse not use the response data from the running GX Simulator for other than the checking byperforming the serial communication function for the external device such as to observe this may result in accidents due to misoutput or - 2 A - 2 REVISIONS* The Manual number is given on the bottom left of the back Date* Manual NumberRevisionJul.
