1 OVERVIEW
(8) Functions supporting multiple CPU systems (Details are explained
in the Reference Manual.)
(a) When accessing QCPUs in a multiple CPU system using the MC protocol or
through GX Developer, it is possible to perform data communication such as
reading/writing device data by specifying the QCPU to be accessed.
• When using the Q series C24 in a multiple CPU system, a QCPU
controlling the Q series C24 (hereinafter referred to as the control PLC)
should be specified using GX Developer.
It is also possible to mount a Q series C24 of function version A in a
multiple CPU system and access to the only control PLC (PLC No.1).
1) : PLC No.1
2) : PLC No.2
3) : PLC No.3
4) : PLC No.4

(b) When a Q series C24 CPU of function version B is used in a multiple CPU
system, the following forms of data communication can be performed with
the Q series C24.
1) It is possible to perform data communication using the non
procedure/bidirectional protocols from the control PLC
2) It is possible to read the buffer memory from non-control PLCs.
Input/output signals can be used as contacts.
