Graphic Operation Terminal GOT-F900

1. Introduction

This section describes the product and system configuration of the graphic operation terminal.

1.1 Outline

The graphic operation terminal (he reafter abbreviated to GOT) is to be mounted on the face of a control panel or operations panel, and connected to a programmable controller (hereafter abb re viat ed to PLC (e xcept t he A0J2)) Various devices can be monitored and PLC data changed through the screens of the GOT. There are several display screens built-in to the GOT which offer various functions. In addition user defined screens can be created. The user defined screens and the built-in screens (system screens) have the following respective functions.

screens can be overlaid or changed over arbitrarily.

- Simple graphics such as straight lines, circles and rectangles can be displayed, along

with numerics and English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean text. Also bitmaps can be imported and displayed as well as pre-defined screen components.

Monitor function

- Set values and current values of word devices in the PLC can be displayed in numerics

or bar graphs for monitoring.

- The specified range of the screen components can be displayed in reverse in

accordance with the ON/OFF status of bit devices in the PLC.

Data change function

- The numeric data being monitored can be changed.

Switch function

- By manipulating the operation keys in the GOT, bit devices in the PLC can be set to ON

and OFF. The display panel face can be assigned as touch keys to offer switch functions.

System screens

• Monitor function

List program (only in the FX Series)

- Programs can be read, written and monitored in the form of an instruction list program.

Buffer memory (only in the FX

and FX

2NC

Series)

- The contents of buffer memories (BFMs) of special blocks can be read, written and

monitored.

Device monitor

- The ON/OFF status of each device, the set value and current value of each timer,

counter and data register in the PLC can be monitored and changed.

- Specified bit devices can be forced ON or OFF.

Unlike the monitor function described previously, screen data can be edited by inputting a desired device No. from the keyboar d.

• Data sampling function The current value of spe cified data re gisters are ac quired in a con stant cyc le or w hen the trigger condition is satisfied.

- Sampling data can be displayed in the form of list or graph.

- Sampling data can be output to a printer in the form of list.

• Alarm function Alarm messages can be assigned to up to 256 consecutive bit devices in the PLC. When a bit device becomes ON, the assigned message is displayed (overlapped) on the user screen. In addition, a specified user screen can be displayed by setting a corresponding bit device to ON.

- When a bit device becomes ON, a corresponding message is displayed on the user

screen. The message list can be also displayed.

- Up to 1,000 alarms (turning ON of bit devices) can be stored as the alarm history.

- The alarm frequency of each device can be stored as historical data.

- Alarm history can be output to a printer using the screen creation software.

• Other functions Many other functions are built in.

- A real-time clock, current time and data can be set and displayed.

- The GOT can function as an interface to enable data communication between the PLC

and a personal computer in which the relay ladder creation software is operating. At this time, the GOT screen can also be displayed.

- The screen contrast and the buzzer sound volume can be adjusted.

1.4 System configuration

The method of connecting the GOT to PLC and peripheral devices is described below.

1.4.1 Connection of peripheral units of GOT

The figure below shows the system configuration required to use the GOT with peripheral devices.

F930GOT, F940GOT, F943GOT and F940WGOT graphic operation terminals

RS-422 or RS-232C communication.

PLC

Data transfer cable F2-232CAB-1 (3m)

RS-232C communication.

·Printer Bar code reader <General-purpose printers> ESC/P Printer equipped with RS-232C interface

Prints out sampling data, alarm history, alarm message and screen hard copy

RS-232C communication.

The ROM is attached to F9GT-40UMB and inserted into the connector on the back of the GOT. (F940GOT and F943GOT only)

·EPROM memory User screens can be stored

using a general-purpose ROM writer. (FX-EPROM-4M) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E is used to put screen data in the form of ROM chips. (In the case of GT Designer, data cannot be saved on to a ROM chip.)

·Data transfer cable FX-232CAB-1 (3 m) (when the RS-232C port in the PC is 9-pin type)

·Data transfer cable FX-232CAB-2 (3m) (when the RS-232C port in the PC is half pitch, 14-pin type)

·Data transfer cable F2-232CAB-1 (3m) (when the RS-232C port in the PC is 25-pin type)

·General-purpose personal computer (screen creation software) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E or GT Designer

·For the screen creation software versions corresponding to each GOT, refer to Section 1.7.

• When the GOT is CPU-connected to a PLC and a general purpose PC is used as a program edit tool for the PLC, the 2-port interface function of the GOT can be used. (In the case of connection using a communication unit of QnA Series or Q Series, the 2-port interface function can be used when the setting of the GOT is fo r CPU connection.) When using the GOT and peripheral devices dedicated to sequence program edit (such as FX-20P and A6GPP that performs RS-422 communication) for one PLC, connect the GOT to an extension communication board or extension communication adapter of FX Series, a computer link unit of A Series or a communication unit of QnA Series or Q Series. (The FX-2PIF type 2-port interface is not compatible with the PLCs of Q Series and QnA Series or with PLCs or microcomputer boards manufactured by other companies.) When connected to a PLC or microcomputer board manufactured by other companies, the 2-port interface function of the GOT cannot be used.

The undermentioned data is stored in RAM of GOT or the flash memory.

RAM area: Data is backed up with the built in battery.

1) Content set by system setting requirements of GOT main unit.

2) Alarm history

3) Sampling collection data

4) Operating time

Flash memory area: Battery is unnecessary.

1) Data made with screen creation software. Screen data, system requirement settings, alar m element settings, and sampling element settings.

Transfer

• Transfer between the screen creation software and GOT is done between RAM area ➁, ➂,

➃

and the flash memory.

Neither “RAM area” nor “Time now” is read to the personal computer.

• The systems requirements can be set with the GOT main unit (a default content is stored in RAM ➀) or the screen creation software (a set content is preserved in flash memory ➀). The content set later is given priority. User set data may be last if the back up battery power runsout. In thi s situation , it ma y not be possible to communicate with the programmable controller. If possible set the system requirements in the screen creation software.
