An Overview of GT01 Functions

3 colors can be displayed, to reflect the statusVarious messages and graphics can be displayed on the liquid crystal display screen,which measures 128 x 64 dots, as well as lamps, internal PLC data, graphs, clocks, andother information. In addition, backlighting is available in three colors, green, orange, andred, so that information can be color-coded. This makes it easy to grasp information ata glance.

Analog touch panel providedGT01 comes with a compact touch panel. Switches and a keyboard can be laid out, sooperation is possible by simply touching the screen. Since this is an analog touch panel,the freedom with which you can change the size of and layout switches is greater thanthat possible with digital switches.

Screens can be created easily, using special toolsScreen contents can be easily created using the dedicated Terminal GTWIN tool (runson Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP). Screens are put together simply by selecting partsfrom a library and positioning them in place.

2.1 Installation

2.1 Installation

2.1.1 Installation Environment

When installing and using the GT series, always make sure the following conditions areobserved.

Usage ConditionsWhen installing the product, make sure it is used within the range of the generalspecifications. Do not use in the following environments:

- Areas where the unit may come in contact with water (the unit is warranted byIP65 for the installed panel, but this applies to initial values and operation cannotbe guaranteed in areas where the unit is constantly subjected to water or toextreme temperatures or humidity).

- Areas where the ambient temperature exceeds the range 0°C to 50°C/32°F to122°F.

- Areas where the ambient humidity exceeds 20% RH to 85% RH.

- If the control panel and other parts are installed in an environment where the airtends to be poorly ventilated, forced cooling should be used to keep the ambienttemperature of the from going over 50°C/122°F. This prevents the temperature ofthe GT display unit from rising.

- Locations where condensation may form because of sudden fluctuations intemperature.

- Locations where flammable or corrosive gases are present.

- Locations where there are high concentrations of dust or iron filings.

- Locations where substances such as organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.) orstrong alkali substances (ammonia, caustic soda, etc.) might adhere to theproduct.

- Locations where the product is subject to extreme vibration and/or impact.

- Avoid installing the product near high-voltage lines, high-voltage devices, powerlines, power devices, amateur radio sets and other transmitters, and devices thatgenerate strong current surges.

- Avoid locations where the display unit is subject to direct sunlight.

Safety Precautions- The switch functions of the programmable display unit should not be used to

design systems which may pose a threat to human life or which may causesevere injury or damage. Designs should include safety mechanisms for use inthe event that switch functions do not function correctly.


16

2.1 Installation

Power Supply Wiring- For the power supply, use twisted wire (strand wire).

- There is sufficient noise resistance to offset power line noise, but we recommendreducing noise by measures such as installing an insulated transformer.

- Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and theoperating unit.

Static Electricity/Noise- Keep the GT01 main unit, PLC connecting cable, and other wiring as far away as

possible from machines which are likely to produce noise (welding equipment,power lines, inverters, motors, etc.).

- For use in environments where the frequent occurrence of static electricity,radiation, or induced noise can be expected, the use of shielded cable on allwiring and grounding of shield (1-point ground) is recommended. When wiringthe equipment, shielded wires should be electrically insulated to signal lines andsignal grounds.

- If excessive static electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unitmay be damaged.

Other Precautions- Do not leave the GT connected to the TOOL port of the FP Programmer II.

- Always operate the touch panel with your fingers. Excessive load (about 98N/cm2 ) or impact (operating with tools, etc.) will cause damage. Touch paneloperation must be within the standard operating power range. Uniform pressureshould be used to avoid abnormal wear of electrodes which may disableoperation. Operate the unit only by touch.

- Never dismantle, re-assemble, or alter the unit. Performance cannot bewarranted if this precaution is disregarded.

2.1 Installation

2.1.2 GT01 Installation Method

Secure the GT01 to the installation panel using the four fittings and four screwsprovided with the unit.

(1) Place the GT01 main unit in the installation panel.(2) Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT01 main unit, and tightenthe screws to secure the GT01 main unit to the installation panel.

Enlarged view

CAUTION

Screw tightening torqueThe screw tightening torque should be 0.1 N m to 0.25 N m.Applicable panel thicknessA panel with a thickness of 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm should be used.Clearance when the GT01 is installedWhen installing the GT01, if other parts are being installed to thepanel or cables are being wired to it, we recommend providing aclearance of 30 mm to 50 mm/1.18 inch to 1.97 inch around the GT01.This prevents cables from being damaged, and facilitates theinstallation work. Also, make sure that the slits in the main unit arenever obstructed.

2.2 Wiring the Power Supply


2.2.1 Wiring the Power Supply

The power supply should be wired by securely connecting the terminal on the rear ofthe main unit to the terminal.

Use twisted wiring for the power supplyIn order to minimize influence from noise, the wiring for the power supply should betwisted.

Insulate the power supply inside a protective circuit- In order to protect the unit against abnormal voltage from the power supply line, thepower supply should be an insulated type, and should be enclosed within a protectivecircuit.- A non- insulated regulator is used with the GT series.- If a power supply device without an internal protective circuit is being used, powershould always be supplied to the GT series through a fuse or a similar protective device.

Keep the power supply voltage within the operating voltage rangePart No. Operating voltage range

2.2.2 Grounding

Be sure to ground when the influence of noise is greatThe unit is tolerant against noise in normal environments, but if the environment isparticularly susceptible to noise, please ground.

Use dedicated grounding-For grounding purposes, use wires with a minimum of 2 mm2. The groundingconnection should have a resistance of less than 100 Ω.

-Make the grounding point as close as possible to the GT01 and keep the distance ofthe grounding wire short.

-Sharing the ground with another device may have an adverse effect. Therefore, besure that grounding is dedicated.

2.3.3 Precautions Concerning Wiring

The following precautions should be observed, to avoid broken or disconnected wires.

- When removing the sheath, be careful not to scratch the core wire.

- Wire the terminal without twisting the core wire.

- The core wire should be connected without soldering it. Vibration can sometimescause soldered connections to break loose.

- After connecting the wiring, avoid subjecting the cable to stress.

- Because of the construction of the terminal, tightening the wire in thecounterclockwise direction will cause a faulty connection. If this happens,disconnect the wire, check the terminal hole, and connect the wire again.

3.2 Setting the Basic Communication Area Between theGT01 and PLC

3.2.1 What is the Basic Communication Area?

Communication between the GT01 and PLC is carried out as shown below.

PLCInternal PLC devices

Part reference / output deviceFor part functions

(free device specification)

Basic communication areaFor screen switching settings and systemcontrol(word device / bit device: 3 words each)Ongoing

Communication

As shown in the illustration, communication is carried out on an ongoing basis betweenthe GT01 and internal devices in the PLC. Internal PLC devices are divided into thefollowing two devices:Basic communication areaThis area is for system control, such as screen switching settings. PLC devices belongto this area on a fixed basis, and communication is constantly being carried out.

Breakdown of the basic communication area

Word devices (DT, FL, etc.)

3 consecutive words

Bit devices (WR, etc.)

3 consecutive words

- Word devices - - - For reading devices handled in word units (3 consecutive words)

- Bit devices - - - For reading devices handled in bit units (3 consecutive words)

References and output devices for partsThese are devices that are used in parts functions, and can be freely specified by theuser. Communication is carried out on an ongoing basis only for those that are currentlydisplayed on the screen and pertain to devices currently in use.

With the GT01, before GTWIN screen creation tool is used to specify the devices forparts functions, the “basic communication area” must be determined.DT0 to DT2 and WR0 to WR2 are set as the default values for the basic communicationarea, but the initial address can be changed using the following procedure.

CAUTION

The basic communication area should be used in the PLC ladderprogram to control the GT main unit.

4.11 Automatic Communication Settings Function


After turning on the power supply, if there is no response from the PLC connected tothe GT01, the GT01 switches to the automatic setting mode for the communicationconditions. In the automatic setting mode, commands are sent to the PLC whilechanging the communication conditions in the sequence shown below.

GT01

PLC

(1) 9600 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit(2) 19200 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit(3) 115200 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit(4) Communication conditions set in GTWIN Configuration Settings

If there is no response from the PLC,commands are sent to the PLC whilechanging the communication conditions.

The GT01, in automatic setting mode, continues to repeat steps (1) to (4) until there isa response from the PLC. While it is repeating these steps, it is in the “Standby” modeunder “GT01 Configuration” a “Communication Parameters” a “Handle CommunicationError” on GTWIN. For information on how settings are entered, please refer to page 77.


Conditions when the automatic settings mode is in effectIf communication is attempted the specified number of times andthere is no response from the PLC, the GT01 goes into the automaticsettings mode. The number of attempts is specified using the “No. ofRetries” parameter under “GT01 Configuration” → “CommunicationParameters” → “Handle Communication Error” on GTWIN. Forinformation on how settings are entered, please refer to page 77.Automatically set communication conditionsIn the automatic settings mode, if there is a response from the PLC,subsequent communication is carried out under conditions matchingthe response. The main unit configuration settings are not updated,however, even if the communication parameters are different fromthose of the main unit configuration settings.


49


CAUTION

An error response from the PLC is taken as a response, and the GT01does not go into the automatic settings mode.If the unit is connected to the COM port of theFP0/FP1/FP2/FP2SH/FP-M, communication between the FP deviceand the PLC will not be possible if the target usage of the RS232Cport has been set to “Computer Link”. Always set the setting on thePLC side to match “Computer Link”. For detailed information, pleaserefer to Chapter 4, “Connecting and Communicating with the PLC”,on page 31.

4.12 Through Function


With the GT series, communication can be set to take place automatically between theCOM. and TOOL ports in a “through function”. When the FP series tool softwareinstalled in the computer connected to the GT series as shown below is booted, PLCprograms can be edited through the GT series.

The through function does not require any special settings, and is always in the standbymode.

CAUTION

Precautions when using the through functionThe system should be set up so that the interval for communicationretries in the FP series software (FPWIN GR or NPST-GR) (A) is largerthan that of the GT01 COM. port (B), meaning (A) > (B). If the systemis set up so that A = B or A < B, the through function will not workproperly.Restrictions on COM. port connectionsWhen connecting the GT01 to the COM port of a PLC, a separateexternal DC 5 V power supply must be provided. Be sure toremember this.An FP Programmer II cannot be connected to the tool port.

6.1 Switching Screens


There are three ways to switch screens registered in the GT main unit.

6.1.1 Switching the Screen from the PLC

GT main unit screens can be switched from the PLC ladder program, by writing thenumber of the screen to be displayed in hexadecimal format to the initial word of theword device in the basic communication area.At the same time that the screen is switched, the GT main unit writes the number of thescreen to which the display was switched in the first to third words of the basiccommunication area, in hexadecimal format.How communication is carried out between the GT main unit and PLC (screenswitching)

Condition thatdisplays screen

When the screen is switched as a means of triggering switch output from the displayunit, the destination for the switch output should be specified in the condition thatdisplays the screen, indicated in the sample program above.


98


6.1.2 Switching the Screen with the GT Main Unit

Using the function switch unitGTWIN has “function switching parts” (FSW0, FSW1, FSW2) in the parts library that canbe used to switch screens on the GT main unit. These parts should be arranged on thebase screen and assigned the attributes indicated below.

Function switching parts: Attribute editing dialog box

Double-clicking on the parts arranged on the base screen, or selecting a switch part,and clicking on the “Parts (T)” menu and then the “Edit Attribute” sub-menu displaysthe dialog box shown above.

(1) Using the “Change Screen” operation modeSelect the “Change Screen” operation mode and specify the number of the screen tobe changed. Then press the switch part to switch the screen to the specified screen.To return to the screen displayed just prior to the currently displayed screen, the “Returnto Previous Screen” operation mode can be used.

In this case, the value of the third word in the basic communication area / worddevice (the number of the currently displayed screen) changes to that of the new screennumber, but please be aware that the contents of the first word (the screen numberspecified by the PLC) do not change. For detailed information, see page 101.


99


(2) Using the “Value Set” operation modeSelect the “Value Set” operation mode and enter the following settings:- Data format: Specify 1 word- Output destination: Specify to first word of basic communication area / word device- Value: Number of screen to be changed to (hexadecimal specification)Each time the GT main unit switch part is pressed, the screen number is forcibly writtenby the GT main unit to the first word of the basic communication area / word device, andthe screen is switched.

If using this method, the values for both the first word of the basic communicationarea / word device (the screen number specified by the PLC) and the third word (thenumber of the currently displayed screen) are changed.


100


Using the auto-paging functionThe GT main unit has an “Auto-paging” function that automatically switches the screento a specified screen number when a certain period of time has elapsed. This functioncan be used to switch screens automatically.

For information on setting the auto-paging function, please see page 81 (GT01).

If using this function, please be aware that the value of the third word in the basiccommunication area / word device (the number of the currently displayed screen)changes to that of the new screen number, but the contents of the first word (the screennumber specified by the PLC) do not change. For detailed information, see page 101.

Clicking on the button displays the value setting dialog box shown below. Specifythe number of the screen to which the display is to be changed.

Value Set dialog boxIf the value is entered with thebutton pressed as shown at the left, ahexadecimal screen number is speci-fied, and if the value is entered withthe button pressed, a decimalvalue is entered.

The button acts as a backspacekey when entering an address, and the

button functions as a Clear key.


101


Key points

If the screen does not change as expectedIf the screen is changed from the PLC, and the GT main unit functionswitch parts are also used to change the screen (Change Screenoperation mode), a case sometimes occurs in which the screen doesnot change, even though an instruction to change the screen hasbeen issued by the PLC.

Example: Screen No. 1 is displayed in keeping with the instruction from the PLC, andthe screen is changed to Screen No. 2 using the function switch parts.

In this state, “1” is already written for the first word, so if an instruction is sent from thePLC to the first word to display Screen No. 1, it duplicates what is already written, and thescreen will not be switched.

Screen switchinginstruction


102


This problem can be solved in the following manner:Use the “forced-display flag” in the basic communication area/bitdevice.

1) At the same time that the PLC issues an instruction to change thescreen again to Screen No. 1, or shortly after that point, theforced-display flag in the first word/Bit E of the basic communicationarea/bit device is turned on, using the bit as a PLC bit operationinstruction.

2) When the forced-display flag begins to go on, the screencorresponding to the number written to the first word of the basiccommunication area/word device, meaning Screen No. 1, is forciblydisplayed at the point that step 1 takes place. (This is carried out onlyat the rise of the forced-display flag).

3) After the screen has been switched, the forced-display flag shouldbe turned off.

Set the operation mode of the function switch parts to “Value Set”.When the screen is switched using the function switch parts, asshown in the illustration above, the operation mode of the functionswitch parts is set to “Value Set” in order to switch the screen. (Fordetailed information, see page 98.)Using the “Value Set” mode changes the contents of the first word inthe basic communication area/word device (the screen numberspecified by the PLC) and the third word (the number of the currentlydisplayed screen) to that of the new screen number, and thus avoidsthe kind of case described above.
