Appendix 3 Procedure to Convert GP-PRO/PB III Series Project Data This section explains the procedure to convert project data created by Digital Electronics Corporation's GP-PRO/PB series screen editor software into GT Designer2 project data.
Points to be checked Procedure 1 Converting the data with GT Converter2 • Open the project to be converted. • The GP-PRO/PB • Check the project information. • File name, type, title, PLC type (connected PLC), terminal type series project file is *.prw/*.pro. OUTLINE • Start GT Converter2. - 2 (GP model) execute the conversion. When the data SYSTEM CONFIGURATION • Conversion availability: When the data can be converted, cannot be converted, replace the data manually. • Select options.
Points to be checked Procedure 3 Reference (Including precautions and tips for conversion) Checking the converted data • Check the Conversion result conversion result. Converted data • When the data is not correctly converted When the data is correctly converted by correcting the • Check that the following files are output with the conversion. • *.TXT: Conversion result • *.g1: Converted screen data (Binary format) • *.

Internal system information 2) Check and set the controller type. 3) Check and set the Base screen screen switching - Initially, make sure to understand difference in design concepts Appendix 3.2 GP2000 sys- between the GP and the GOT.
Points to be checked Procedure 6) Correct each screen. Overall • For the objects with conversion errors, replace the objects manually. Tag conversion availability list (Contact your local Mitsubishi representative.) • For figures of switches and lamps, using basic figures is recommended to correct the figures easier. - • For the items that are not correctly converted, replace the items manually by referring to the conversion tips in the tag conversion availability list.
Points to be checked Procedure 7) • Line printer Reference (Including precautions and tips for conversion) Bar-code reader • Establish a handshake with the PLC, script, and others. 1 Tag Reference Manual_gpwtag_m.pdf 4.8 Serial-Code Reader Compatibility Screen hard copy 2 • Configure the hard copy setting.
Points to be checked Procedure 5 Reference (Including precautions and tips for conversion) Checking the operations • With the GP and the GOT By using the GP and the GOT, compare operations between the GP and the GOT. • Check that the operations of the objects (including switches and lamps) in the converted data are the same as those in the - original data. • Change the device values of the PLC by using the device test function of GX Developer, and check the device operations.
The system data area is a defined area that the GP occupies in the PLC memory to execute basic operations, including the screen switching. In the area, a function is predetermined per address. The system data area is a medium for the GP to exchange data with a host. By specifying an address of the PLC memory in [PLC SETUP] of the INITIALIZE menu of the GP, the consecutive addresses starting from the specified address are automatically assigned as the system data area in the PLC.
With the GP offline mode, specifying [STARTING ADDRESS OF SYSTEM DATA AREA] in [PLC SETUP] of the INITIALIZE menu automatically prepares the system data area in the PLC. The following table shows the contents of the system data area. Area Word Description address +0 +1 1 to 8999 (However, 1 to 1999 when using BCD input) Error Status 0, 1 Not used Each bit changes according to the GP 2 System ROM/RAM 3 Memory Checksum corresponding bit turns on.
