 A Device/PLC driver cannot be deleted.

Cause

Scenario 1: When you have a project with 2 or more Devices/PLCs, one of them is set as the "System Area Device." To check which Device/PLC is set for this, go to [System Settings,] [Display Unit.] If the Device/PLC listed in the "System Area Device" is the one you wish to delete, GP-Pro EX will not allow you to delete it.

Connection devices(*) allocated to the system data area cannot be deleted.

Scenario 2: When one memory link driver and one PLC driver are allocated, it's not possible to delete only the PLC driver and keep the memory link.

* Even if [Enable System Data Area] is not checked, when the connection device is set for System Area Device, GP-Pro EX judges that the device has allocated addresses and therefore, will not allow that device to be deleted.

[System Settings Window]→[Display Unit]→[System Area]

Solution

Scenario 1. When the system data area is set to the connection device that you want to delete,
・Allocate the system data area to another device.

Scenario 2. When one memory link driver and one PLC driver are selected,
1. Connection device 1: MEMLINK
Connection device 2: (PLC driver) → Change to MEMLINK
2. Connection device 1: MEMLINK
Connection device 2: in the state of MEMLINK, delete the second MEMLINK.
