 Features of the multi-channel function
(1) With a single unit of GOT, the system consisting of PLC CPU, temperature controller, servo amplifier and
other controllers can be configured.
One GOT can monitor a PLC CPU, temperature controller and servo amplifier, etc. Therefore, the system
configuration, in which several controllers are mixed, can be easily established.
In addition, each system can be monitored on the GOT screen, and the unified management of the information
is possible.
(2) Controlling FXCPU/third party PLC, etc. through the network (MELSECNET/H, etc.)
It is possible to control FXCPU/third party PLC, etc. through the network (MELSECNET/H, etc.).
For example, it is possible to execute read/write of a device such as FXCPU when the condition is satisfied,
using the device of the PLC CPU on the network (MELSECNET/H, etc.) as the trigger for action.
(3) With one GOT, the Ethernet connection and the bus or network connection are available in combination.
(GT16 only)
One GOT can make the Ethernet connections and the bus or network connection. Therefore, the system
configuration, in which several networks are linked, can be established.
Also, the GOT can monitor multiple controllers on an Ethernet network.(Multi-channel Ethernet connection)
