2.1.2 Basic Tree Concepts
This section explains the configuration of folders displayed in tree diagrams. Each tree dia-
gram has a root folder under which multiple systems can be created by job.
Folder Configuration
The root folder is displayed as the top branch of the tree, and contains group folders, order
folders, PLC folders, and the data folders.
The CP-717 is designed to handle multiple systems and Machine Controllers, so logically, a
group folder and order folder are above the PLC folder, which defines the MP900 Series.

Root Folder
User-defined folders are managed under the root folder, which is the only folder provided by
default by the CP-717. The CP717 can manage multiple group folders and order folders.
Group Folders
Group folders are relevant to one project and indicate one large job unit.
Order folders, in which one job can be broken down into multiple tasks, can be defined
under the group folder. The group folder can be omitted, however, if the entire job can fit
into one order folder.
A maximum of 20 group folders can be defined for large-scale projects, but their manage-
ment is complicated.
