A device such as a PLC, a higher–order computer, or a microcomputer board can be connected to this RS232C port. (One communication connector is provided as an accessory when the unit is shipped.)
(5) TOOL port (GTWIN connection port)
This port is used to connect a personal computer in which the screen creation tool GTWIN has been installed, using a dedicated cable (AFC8513).
(6) Operation mode setting switches
With the GT10, screen data and configuration settings data are stored in an internal F–ROM, so no battery backup is needed. However, data such as clock data and the Hold PLC Device Data is stored in the internal SRAM, and is backed up by the internal secondary battery, which is charged when the power supply is turned on.
The operation mode setting switches control the ON/OFF settings for the secondary battery backup function, the ability to shift to the system menu, and other functions.
