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.
GT seriesInstallation and Wiring
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.

2.2.1 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.

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.

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
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.

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.
Explanation of this function
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.

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.

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.

6.1 Switching Screens
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.
