1The features of the GOT series and advantages of personal computer and panel
computer are available
(1) Interactive use with applications (including MELSOFT)
(a) Interactive use with GT Designer2.
Installation of GT SoftGOT1000 and GT Designer2 on the same personal computer allows
operations from screen creation to monitoring to be supported by a single personal computer.
Immediately after creating or modifying a screen on GT Designer2, the screen can be
monitored on GT SoftGOT1000. Therefore, design efficiency is improved greatly.
(b) Interaction with PX Developer
With interaction between GT SoftGOT1000 and PX Developer, monitor tool functions for PX
Developer can be called on GT SoftGOT1000.
GT SoftGOT1000 can also be started on PX Developer, and the functions can be shared.
For the monitor tool of PX Developer, refer to the following manual.

The monitor screen data is compatible.
A Windows application can be started up from GT SoftGOT1000.
Also, the data of GT SoftGOT1000 internal devices can be read/written from a user-created
application.
With interaction between GT SoftGOT1000 and a user-created application, the user can
control or manage data by own method.
(2) Flexible response to high-resolution
The user can select resolutions from UXGA to VGA and can set a resolution specification, which
sets a resolution dot by dot depending on applications.
GT SoftGOT1000 supports the following resolutions.
(a) Selectable resolutions
•UXGA (1600 1200 dots)• SXGA (1280 1024 dots)
•XGA (1024 768 dots)• SVGA (800 600 dots)
•VGA (640 480 dots)
(b) User setting
•X Y (Resolution specification) (1920 to 640 1200 to 480 dots)
2The monitor screen data created for the GOT1000 series is applicable to GT
SoftGOT1000.
The GT SoftGOT1000 uses monitor screen data created with GT Designer2.
By converting the GOT type for GT SoftGOT1000, the monitor screen data used for the GOT1000
series can be used without modification.
GT SoftGOT1000 uses the same screens and operations as GOT.
Therefore, there will be no discomfort or confusion for the operators and maintenance personnel.

(1) Before using USB cable
The USB cable can be used with the USB driver already installed.
(2) Number of connectable programmable controllers when using USB cable
A single programmable controller can be connected when using the USB cable.
The following shows the system configurations, which do not meet the above
conditions.
(3) Precautions for connecting programmable controller
Connect or remove the USB cable, reset a programmable controller or turn the
power on/off after stop the monitor.
( 5.7 Monitor Stop)
If operated without stop, a communication timeout occurs, which cannot be fixed.
If not fixed, remove the USB cable completely. After 5 seconds or more, reconnect
the cable. (The error may occur at first communication after the above operation.
From the next time, the programmable controller functions normally.)

Be sure to attach the license key before starting monitoring on GT SoftGOT1000.
When starting monitoring without a license key, GT SoftGOT1000 automatically ends in about two hours.
Also, from starting monitoring to exiting it, use GT SoftGOT1000 with the license key attached.
If the license key is disconnected during monitoring, the GT SoftGOT1000 will exit automatically.
License key
(1) Before using license key
The license key is authentificated by OS as a connected device.
Thus, the System Driver (device driver) needs to be installed as other connected
devices.
As the license key can be accessed via the System Driver, the access to the
license key is not allowed when the System Driver is not installed.
(2) License key use target
The GT15-SGTKEY-U and GT15-SGTKEY-P are dedicated for GT SoftGOT1000.
They cannot be used for GT SoftGOT2.

When the [View Format] of [Numerical Display] is set to [Real] and if illegal value is stored, illegal value
will be displayed on GT Soft GOT1000. (GOT displays [non].)
2Time display
The clock data of the personal computer is used for clock display when monitoring GT SoftGOT1000.
(GOT reads and shows the clock data of the PLC CPU.)
When controling a system using clock data, set the same clock data for the PLC CPU and personal
computer.
GT SoftGOT1000 does not support the daylight saving function. Do not check [Automatically adjust
clock for daylight saving changes] on the personal computer.
3GT Soft GOT1000 Versions
Be sure to use the GT Soft GOT1000 of the same version as the GT Designer2 that the project data is
created.
When using different versions of GT SoftGOT1000 and GT Designer2, the file may not be opened,
functions/settings may be invalid, or the GT Soft GOT1000 may not work correctly.
Refer to the following for the project data compatibility.
4Virtual drive
The GT SoftGOT1000 uses the following folder located on the hard disk of a personal computer as a
virtual drive.
A virtual drive is created for each module.
Any other folders can be set as the virtual A drive, the virtual B drive, and the virtual E drive.
For changing folders for the virtual drives, refer to the following.
The logging information, advanced recipe information, operation log information, and operator info.

(1) Before Ethernet connection
Read the manual for the Ethernet module to be used thoroughly and understand it
fully before setting up the Ethernet connection.
(2) Time-out error
If many devices (including GT SoftGOT1000) are connected, line traffic may
become dense, causing a time-out error. If a time-out error occurs, reduce the
number of connected devices or increase the time-out value in the

*1When using AJ71QE71, AJ71QE71-B5, A1SJ71QE71-B2 or A1SJ71QE71-B5, use a module or PLC CPU of
function version B or later.

(3) Ethernet module (QnA series) switch settings
Operation mode setting switch : 0 (online)
Automatic start mode: SW3 ON
When SW3 is ON, initial processing is performed independently of Y19 (initial processing request).
Communications are also enabled if the CPU module is stopped.
For the initial processing using Y19 (initial processing request), create the program for initial
processing while referring to the "For QnA Ethernet Interface Module User's Manual".
(4) Network parameter setting (Setting on GX Developer)
On the MELSECNET/Ethernet setting screen of network parameter, set the network type, starting
I/O No., network No., group No., station number and IP address.

OVERVIEW
When connections are OK
C:\>ping 192. 168. 0. 2
Reply from 192. 168. 0. 2:bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
When connections are not good

When the Ping test is not verified, check the connections of the cable and module, and settings,
including the IP address, for Windows .
Ping test
The Ping test can be performed using GX Developer (SW6D5C-GPPW 6.01B or
later).
Refer to the GX Developer Operating Manual for more details on the Ping test.

The setting items and precautions are shown below for communicating GT SoftGOT1000 to the PLC
CPU via the Ethernet module (A series).
This section describes the system configuration to monitor the host as shown below.
When monitoring other stations, follow the same procedure as the host.
Precautions for setting items
The N/W No. and PLC No. to be specified for Ethernet connection to the E71 should
be those set as desired on GT Designer2.
Refer to the following for how to set the N/W No., PLC No./PC No., IP address and
port No. of the Ethernet module and GT SoftGOT1000.
This section (7)
The following shows the procedure for performing communications via E71.
(1) Before setting
(a) Monitoring precautions
The connection target cannot be monitored via MELSECTNET/10 or MELSECNET/H.
(b) Communication precautions
• Only communications within the same segment can be monitored.
No communications via a router or gateway can be monitored.
• A connection of multiple pieces of network equipment (including GT SoftGOT1000) to a
segment may increase the network load and slow down the communication between the GT
SoftGOT1000 and the PLC.
Communication efficiency may be improved by using one or more of the following methods:
• Use a switching hub
• Use a high-speed 100BASE-TX (100Mbps)
• Reduce the number of monitoring points of the GT SoftGOT1000
