- 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.

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.

7.4 Security function (screen protection function)

In the user screen mode, screens can be set so that they only open to certain operators who know an entry code. This is so that general operators cannot perform unnecessary operations. This function is called security function (screen protection function).

1) Outline of security function To use the security function, the security level should be set for each user screen. Set the level within the range of 0 (lowest) to 15 (highest). When any entry codes have not been registered, all screens can be displayed (In this case, the security level is "0".). An entry code can be set using the screen creation software.

GOT

Level 2

Level 1

Screen

Level 0

Screen

• An entry code can be set using up to 8 numerics.

Screen

By entering a c orrect entr y code, the user ca n display and manipulate screen s whose security level is equivalent to or lower than the entered code

2) Input of entry code To enter code, the entry code input screen should be displayed. To display the entry code input screen, a touch key shoul d be provided on the screen.

Screen example

Input of entry code Touch key

• To set this touch key, enter "FF68" to the key code.

• When the touch key is pressed, the entry code input screen is displayed.

• When a screen whose entry code level is higher is tried to be displayed, an alarm sound is issued three times. Set a touch key, and enter an entry code.

• When an entr y code has been registered to the screen to be displayed at first in screen mode (screen No. 0 when screens have been created using FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E or screen No. 1 when screens have been created using SW¨D5C-GOTRE-PACK), the entry code input screen is displayed even if a touch key to enter an entry code is not provided so that an entry code can be entered.

7-11

Graphic Operation Terminal GOT-F900 Start up 7

3) Reset of entry code To reset an entry code and return to the initial setti ng (in whi ch s ecurity is valid), a touch ke y should be provided on the screen.

Screen example

Reset of entry code Touch key

• To set this touch key, enter "FF69" to the key code.

• The entry code is reset also when the power of the GOT is turned off. When the po wer is turned on at the next time, the security is valid.

• It is recommended to lay out the entry code input ke y an d th e ent ry code reset ke y on the same screen.

4) Use example

Screen 1

• Suppose that the security level is set in the screen creation software for Screens 1 to 5 shown above.

• In this case, Screen 1 is displayed when the power is turned on (Level 0).

• When an entry code "222" is entered, Screens 1 to 3 can be displayed and manipulated.

• When an entry code "444" is entered while Screens 1 to 3 are display ed, Screens 1 to 5 can be displayed and manipulated.

• When the entr y code is reset while Screens 1 to 5 are displayed, Screen 1 is displayed (initial status).

* In the use example shown above, the levels and the screen Nos. are consecutive for easy

understanding. The levels and the screen Nos. are not necessarily consecutive. Example: Screen 1 : Level 3

8.2 Transfer of screen data

Pay rigid attention to the cautions below when screen data created in FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E is read/written using GT-Designer or when screen data created in GT-Designer is read/written using FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E. If unavailable settings are contained in the screen data, an alarm message is displayed when the screen data is read. In such a case, check the contents of the screen data.

a) b)

FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E GT DisignerF900GOT

1) Screen data

• Read/write of the functions dedicated to FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E (Refer to Paragraph 8.1.1.) a) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E:

No problems are expected in both read and write.

b) GT-Designer:

If the GOT has dedicated functions, such functions are not read.

• Setting of display screen changeover (Refer to P aragraph 8.1.2.) a) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E:

Names and contents of the functions are automatically converted into those used in the software.

b) GT-Designer:

Names and contents of the functions are automatically converted into those used in the software.

• Functions dedicated to GT-Designer (Refer to Paragraph 8.1.3.) a) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E:

These functions cannot be set in the GOT. (That is, these functions cannot be read nor written.)

b) GT-Designer:

These functions cannot be set in the GOT. (That is, these functions cannot be read or written.)

8-8

Graphic Operation Terminal GOT-F900 Creation of Display Screens 8

2) Setting of display screen changeover

• Screen No. (Refer to Paragraph 8.4.2.) a) FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E:

Screen Nos. are automatically converted into Nos. 0 to 499, then transferred (in both read and write).

b) GT-Designer:

Screen Nos. are automatically converted into Nos. 1 to 500, then transferred (in both read and write).

* When the No. of a screen to be displayed is specified from the PLC , a converted screen

No. is transferred to the GOT. Accordingly, the used sequence program is required to be changed.

• Handling of common setting screen

The contents set on the common setting screen in FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E are treated as screen No. 501 in GT-Designer. However, screen No. 501 is treated as a user screen, so the contents of screen No. 501 are not shared by all screens in the same way as FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E. The screen overlay function (overlap window 1 or 2) or the screen call function sh ould be used so that the contents of screen No. 501 are shared by all screens.

• Background color of screen When screen data created using FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E is transferred to GOT and then read using GT Designer of SW3D5C-GOTR-PACK(B) or before, the background colors are all converted to "Bla ck". If you want to change the background color, do so using "Screen" in "Auxiliary Setting". When such data is read using GT Designer of SW3D5C-GOTR-PACK(C) or later, the background colors are read as they are.

8-9

Graphic Operation Terminal GOT-F900 Creation of Display Screens 8

8.3 Misappropriation of screen data

Screen data made for one type of G OT can be converted in the scre en creation so ftware, for use in a different type of GOT. Care must be taken with the screen layout and unit functionality, as these may be different between various GOT models. (refer to 22.3)

8.4 Use of data in FX-50DU-TK(S)-E

By using the screen creation software FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E, screen data in an FX-50DU-TK(S)E can be conver ted and used for the F940GOT. The compatibility of the data in such a case is described below.

• How to use the screen data When the model is changed from FX-50DU to F940GOT using FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E (V2.00 or later), screen data is converted so that it can be used in the F940GOT.

• Cautions on conversion Pay close attention to the following cautions during conversion.

1) Alarm function The alarm notification method, "Overlap", "Change Screen" or "Print" can be selected for each alarm in the 50DU. In the F940GOT, only one alarm notification method can be selected for all alarms (That is, one alarm notification method is used for every alarm.). When data in the 50DU is converted and used in the F940GOT, th e alarm notif ication method selected in the head alarm device in the 50DU is adopted for every alarm.

2) Display of user screens a) Image, Library Image and Image Indicator

When a black-and-white image is selected to be used with the functions above, it can be displayed in colors other than black and white in the 50DU by specifying the colors. In the F940GOT, the same operation can be performed using the "Indicator" function.

b) Number and Ascii

Only numerics and character codes can be changed on the display screen. Data can be changed while "Permit" is selected in "Number" and "Ascii". When a numeric or character c ode on the screen is touched, a keyboard for data change is displayed. (Each numeric and character code displayed on the screen, functions as a touch key.)

c) Keyboard

The display posi tion of the k e yboar d f or n umerics and text can be moved on t he screen in the F940GOT.

3) Screen changeover function In the F940GOT, if the key condition and input condition are set to "Always" when a screen is changed over from the PLC (screen changeover using a control device in the PLC), priority is always given to screen changeover by a control device in the PLC. Accordingly, if both the key condition and input condition are set to "Alw ays" in the setting of screen changeover in the 50DU, the setting of screen changeover or the used sequence program should be changed. (Refer to Sections 19 and 21.)

8-10

9.5 Change of displayed data

Among the data displayed on the user screen, numeric data indicating set values and current values of word devices in the PLC can be changed by ke y operation. In FX-PCS-DU/WIN -E, "Number" and "A scii" can be change d. In GT Designer, "Numerical Input" and "Ascii input" can be changed.

9.5.1 Common contents in data change

This paragraph describes the common contents when changing numeric data and ASCII code data.

• By touching a numeric or ASCII code on the display screen, it can be changed. *1 In FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E, "Number" and "Ascii" should have been set to "PERMIT".

In GT Designer, "Numerical input" and "Ascii Input" can be changed.

• A numeral can be entered using two methods. In the first method, the keyboard for numeric input is always displayed. In the second method, the keyboard can be called when an input is required.

Cursor display

Cursor displa y

• When a numeric or ASCII code displayed on the screen is touched, a cursor is displayed and the numeric or ASCII code can be changed using the on screen keyboard. When GT Designer is used, "Project Unit" in "Auxiliary Setting" in "Common Setting" should have been set so that the key window is open.

• Press the CLR key to cancel the input. Press the ENT key to execute the input.

• When selecting another numeric or ASCII code, touch it on the screen or select it using the and

keys.

• If the keyboard is not displayed on screen, when a numeric or ASCII code touched, the ten-key pad is displayed as shown on the left so that numerics can be entered.

• To enter a numeric in hexadecimal or change the keyboard design, select an appropriate keyboard using the "Keyboard" object.

• When text is to be entered using ASCII codes, make sure that the keyboard to input

text is always displayed on the screen. When the keyboard is used in GT Designer, the keyboard should be created using key codes for touch switches. When the keyboard is called, only 0 to 9 can be entered.

9-8

Graphic Operation Terminal GOT-F900 Screen mode 9

Data change condition:Numeric and ASCII codes cannot be changed in the following cases.

1) GOT status

- While change is forbidden (During communication with FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E) When the data change target object is set to "FORBID". Countermeasures: Set the object to "PERMIT".

- When an input value is outside the range from the lower limit to the upper limit The upper limit and lower limit are provi ded to indicate the allo wa b le data setting r ange . If the input value is outside this range, it is not accepted. Countermeasures: Change the upper/lower limi t value.

- When "****" is displayed on the screen When a device No. not present in the PLC is monitored, the numeric data is displayed as "****" on the screen. Countermeasures: Change the device No. whose numeric data is to be monitored on the screen.

For the countermeasures above, numeric setting should be changed in the screen creation software.

2) PLC status

- When an EPROM memory is mounted in the FX/A Series PLC, set values of timers, counters and current values of file registers cannot be changed.

- When an EEPROM memory is mounted in the FX Series PLC or while the FX/A Series PLC is running, set values of timers, counters and current values of file registers cannot be changed.

- When an entry code is registered in the FX/A Series PLC, set values of timers, counters and current values of file registers cannot be changed. Reset the entry code.

Important point

nnnn

Timing of data change for "Number" ("Numerical Input") and "Ascii" ("Ascii Input")

Data is changed in the PLC at the following times.

When new data is entered and the ENT key is pressed, the new data is transferred to the PLC. When the CLR key is pressed before the ENT key, the new data is ignored and the existing data is kept registered.

Layout of "Number" ("Numerical Input") and "Ascii" ("Ascii Input")

A touch key can occupy 12 (horizontal direction) × 20 (vertical direction) dots. When a touch key occupies an area equivalent to or more than the half of 12 × 20 dots, it is recognized as touch key. When half- or full-width numerics and ASCII codes are laid out, a touch key may not be recognized as touch key depending on its position.
