  • Page 168 APPENDICES MELSEC-Q Program example The following program is designed to switch the Q62DA-FG mounted in the position of I/O number X/Y0 to X/YF to the offset/gain setting mode when M10 is turned on, and to return it to the normal mode when M10 is turned off. Switches to offset/gain setting mode Stores setting of dedicated instruction (G.OFFGAN) into D1.
