Brief description of the

problem
Work-around/Preventive action
1-IDQPMD
Separate flags are needed for

ML200R types to differentiate
ML200R - CPUH/T & CPU H/F
types. This is required to appear
in MLDP Communication display.
This is only for display notification

and is not on function. At present,
common ML200R types are
displayed as 2MLR-CPUH/T.
1-IDQPMZ
E039 does not show proper LED

status.
Functionality is working properly.

Only LED status mismatch occurs.
Remove the power supply of both

CPU A and B and connect it
again. The PLC shows E039. But
the Master - RUN/STOP LED is
Green that shows PLC is running,
Standby - RUN/STOP LED is
RED that shows CPU is stopped.
The small sync window in
SoftMaster shows both PLC is
running.
1-IDQPOA
After changing and downloading

only IO parameters in SoftMaster,
if you select Start Monitor, a
warning message appears before
the monitoring starts.
Functionality is working properly.

This warning message can be
ignored.
1-IDQPPR
Any of the variable name that

contains 'load' (For example,
overload) in the SoftMaster may
result an unexpected behavior of
program execution.
Avoid using variable names which

contains the word load.
1-HXO8AD
Sometimes, Average Value

parameter for an AI module in I/O
parameter window shows Red
and this does not allow to
changing any of the module
parameters.
Delete the module from I/O

Upgrading PLC firmware for ML200R CPU online

ATTENTION
Only CPU firmware version can be upgraded online and not Expansion
Manager/Driver.
Ensure that the CPU OS version to be installed is compatible with the

existing Expansion driver/Expansion manager OS version.
To upgrade PLC firmware for CPU during operation (online), perform the following
steps.
ATTENTION
The following procedure is given by considering the CPU A as Master and
CPU B as Standby.
Execute the procedure carefully based on your current status of CPU or
ensure CPU A as Master and follow the procedure.
Step
Action
Remove the synchronization cable (OFC) between Master CPU (A) and
Standby CPU (B) and all I/O cables connected to Standby CPU (B) to isolate
the Standby CPU (B) from operation.
Change the mode from REMOTE to RUN using a key switch. Hence, the
isolated Standby CPU (B) becomes a Master CPU (B).
Change the isolated CPU to STOP mode, and ensure that the key switch is
set back to REMOTE mode
