4.10Switch the Monitor Target to the Control System Using the Script Function

The following explains how to create a script screen, to be used for the MELSECNET/H or MELSECNET/10 connection (network system), or Ethernet connection, that automatically changes the monitoring target (Station No.) at the occurrence of system switching even if the Q redundant setting is not made.

The script executes the station number switching function or screen switching function.

The following shows the advantages and disadvantages of the station number switching function and screen switching function.

The following explains how to use each function.

4.10.1Method for using the station number switching function

As a feature of this function, monitor screens for Station No. 1 (control system) and Station No. 2 (standby system) can be created on one screen.

If the system switching occurs, the GOT can change the monitoring target to the control system PLC CPU on the same monitor screen.

To achieve this, the script of the GOT monitors the special relay SM1515 (Control system identification flag) of the PLC CPU and stores the station number of the latest control system into the station number switching device.

Restrictions: Some objects do not allow the station number to be switched.
