Main unit functions

OS/screen data transfer to PC card

In addition to data transfer using RS-232C communication, a PC card

(Flash PC card or SRAM card) can be used to replace screen data and OS

programs, reducing data transferring time greatly. This allows users to edit

or replace data without having personal computers and cables connected

to the GOTs. The PC card interface unit is required for the A95 GOT.)

•

Download screen data into a PC card on a personal computer, and

transfer screen data quickly to the GOT by inserting the PC card into it.

•

Download OS programs Including basic OS, communication drives, expanded

OS, etc. to PC card. This enables quick data transferring of different settings.

(OS programs and screen data can be saved on a single PC card.)

Bus connection/CPU direct connection/computer link connection/

Ethernet connection/MELSECNET connection/CC-Link connection

The GOT supports high-speed display and quick response for inching,

which is indispensable for control panel operation.

•The fastest bus connections with MELSEC-Q/QnA/A PLCs.

The Q series connects up to 5 GOTs, and the QnA/A series, up to 3 GOTs.

Also, high performance maintained even when the maximum

number of GOTs are connected.

•Quick response with MELSECNET cyclic as same as bus connection.

For information on features of each connection configuration, the maximum number of GOTs connected, and

the maximum connection distance, see pages 38 to 41.

For connectivity with third party PLCs, see Connectable model list on page 57.

The industry's smallest size by downsizing the control panel, saving

space and cost.

Attachment

The GOT-original program, C language allows users with little

knowledge program difficult-to-describe arithmetic/logical operations

easily. The C language program can be used under complicated

conditions whose device display and control types differ. Using a

script on the GOT, load on the PLC CPU, microcomputer, etc. can be

sharply reduced, improving the controller performance and program

design efficiency. The function also makes system maintenance easy.

•Supporting various commands

•

Control statement (if, while, switch statement, etc.) Logical, arithmetic.

•

Arithmetic operation, assignment operation, etc.

•Device offset specification

•

Like index qualification of the PLC, a device can be specified

indirectly with a script.

•Integer real number conversion function

IP67f

The front panel supports the IP67F, so it can be used safely in dusty, humid,

or oily places. (However, it may not guarantee any environment of kind.)

(IP67F)

•The GOT stores and transfers several kinds of process data (device

values) such as material blending and procession conditions. Thus,

the sequence program for data transfer is not necessary.

•Reuse of data read from PLC on another GOT and spreadsheet is

available using PC card. This is useful for process control and

production management. Users can modify the values on a

spreadsheet and transfer to the PC card.

•When only device data is being transferred from the GOT to the PLC,

no PC card is required. (Data including initial values is stored in

internal memory (flash ROM) of the GOT as screen data)

Recipe

This function offers controlled operator access by assigning 16 levels of

security classifications. (A password is required to change security level.)

Screen level security

•Security level can be applied to full and partial screens, system

monitor function, special module, and monitor function.

System level security

•

Switching to system screens (utility function), such as setup screen, is protected.

•Reading ladder with the ladder monitor function is protected with a

keyword that is registered with the GX Developer.

Project level security

•Screen data is protected from uploading.

function

*For A series

New

Select the PC card that fulfills the following conditions

depending on number of data files and capacity.

1. Available PC card depends on the number of

recipe files.

When the number of recipe files is 200 and the number

of 16-bit devices in each recipe file is 1000 points

1. As the number of recipe files is 200, a PC card of

4M bytes or more can be used.

Calculation formula for data capacity stored in PC card

Data capacity = 117 x number of recipe files + 9 x

total number of 16-bit devices in each recipe file + 14

x total number of 32-bit devices in each recipe file

= 117 x 200 + 9 x 1000 x 200

= 1,823,400 (bytes) ≠ 1.8M bytes

The data capacity is 1.8M bytes, however, since the

number of files is 200, a PC card of 4M bytes or

more can be used.

The GPP function software can be

used when the GOT is connected

directly with the PLC CPU.
