Chapter 5 - Initializing the GP
GP-477R/577R Series User's Manual 5-19
The Customize function modifies the n:1 (multi-link) connection's commu-
nication method to make it more effective. To run communication effi-
ciently, the user should first determine whether they wish to have Operation
or Display priority set for the GP. Based on this, the communication re-
sponse speed can be upgraded. (However, this also depends on the screen
information displayed)
PLC PRIORITY
According to how the GP is used, select either Operation priority (OPE.) or
Display priority.
• Display
Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as a monitor screen.
The GP will command a higher display speed as a result; however, the
response time for the touch panel's operations will slow.
• Operation
Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as an operation panel.
As a result, the GP will command better touch panel numeric input and
switch response times.
Leaving the GP in this mode does not influence the touch panel operation
response time of the rest of the GP's very much; however, the screen display
renewal cycle will slow down
• In a standard setup, run the same setup for all connected GP's.
• To increase the display speed, restrict the address setup to consecutive
addresses wherever possible. And make bit addresses consecutive to the
word unit.
