Graphic Operation Terminal F940GOT

1. Introduction

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

1.1 Outline

The graphic operation terminal (hereafter abbreviated to GOT) is to be mounted on the face of a control panel or operations panel, and connected to the programming port of an FX or A series programmab le cont roll er ( hereafter abbreviated to PLC (except the A0J2)) Va rious 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.

Introduction 1

User screens

• Screen display function

The following functions can be assigned to each screen. Also the available screens can be limited using the security function. Both software packages, FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E (V2.00) available for DU, and the SWoD5CGOTRE-PACK ("o" indicates a numeric not less than "1". ) avai lable for GO T can be used to create user screens.

Display function

- Up to 500 user defined screens can be displayed. In screen creation, two or more 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 on screen the F940GOT-SED-E can display screen components in 8 colors.

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 offe r the switch function.

1-1

Graphic Operation Terminal F940GOT Introduction 1

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 and the s et value and the 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, the screen data can be edited by inputting a desired device No. from the keyboard.

• 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.

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

- The 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 each device can be stored as historical data.

* As to 2), the ala rm history can be output to a printer using t he sc reen cre ati on s oftw ar e .

• Other functions Many other functions are built in.

- A real-time clock is built in, 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.

Graphic Operation Terminal F940GOT Introduction 1

Important point Display screens can be created using the following software. Screens for DU:

FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E V2.00 or later (The F940 main body is compatib le from its first version.) Screens for GOT-A900:

SWoD5C-GOTRE-PACK ("o" indicates a numeric "1" or more.) (For the F940 main body, V1.10 or later)

1.2 Function list

The functions described in the previously are divided into six modes shown in the table below. The operator can use each function by selecting a corresponding mode.

Mode Function Outline of function

Character display

Characters such as text, numerics and external characters are display ed.

Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese (continental) are displayed.

Graphic display

Graphic such as straight lines, circles rectangles and bitmaps are display ed.

Monitor function

Set values and current values of word devices (T, C, D, V and Z) in the PLC can be displayed in the form of numeric, bar graph, trend graph and panel meter.

The color of specified area on the screen is inverted in accordance with the ON/OFF status of bit devices (X, Y, M, S, T and C) in the PLC.

Screen mode

User screen display

Data change function

Set values and current values of word devices (T, C, D, V and Z) in the PLC can be changed in the form of numeric, bar graph, trend graph and panel meter.

Switch function

The ON/OFF status of bit devices (X, Y, M, S, T and C) in the PLC can be controlled in the format of momentary, alternate and set/reset.

Screen changeover

The display screen can be changed over from the PLC or a touch key.

Recipe function (data file transfer)

Data saved in the GOT can be transferred to the PLC.

Security function (screen protection function)

Screens are displayed only when the entry code is entered. (This function is available also in the system screens.)

Mode Function Outline of function

Programs can be read/written/monitored in the instruction list program format.

Parameters for the program capacity, the memory latch range, etc. can be read/written.

Buffer memories (BFMs) in special blocks for the FX

/FX

Series can be monitored, and their

2NC

1.5 System configuration

This paragraph describes connection of the GOT to a PLC and peripheral unit.

1.5.1 Enlarged view of connector

A PLC and peripheral unit can be connec ted to the following communications ports in the GOT.

1) Communications ports in the GOT There are communications ports on the side of the GOT.

RS232C

RS422

a) PLC connector (RS-422 connector) D-sub 9-pin, female

This connector allows communication with an FX/A Series PLC.

b) PC connector (RS-232C connector) D-sub, 9-pin, male

This connector links a personal computer with the screen data created using the screen creation software for data transfer. When the RS-232C connector in the PC is the 9-pin type, use a data transfer cable FX232CAB-1. When the RS-232C connector in the PC is the half-pitch, 14-pin type, use a data transfer cable FX-232CAB-2. This connector is used also when a d ata transfer cable FX

-232-BD is used for an FX

Series PLC or when 1:N connection is adopted with "CPU PORT" in an FX/A Series PLC.

* When a PLC is connected via a computer link unit, use either of the connectors a) or b)

above.

1.5.3 Connection of peripheral units of PLC

When a general-pur pose pe rsonal compute r is directly connec ted to the GOT, the two-por t interf ace FX-2PIF (two-port interface funct ion) is not required. When one GOT and one peripheral unit for sequence program creation are used for one PLC, the two-port interface FX-2PIF is required. The system configuration required in this case is shown below.

When the two-port interface FX-2PIF is used
