21.3.4Determining the GOT side interface (Interface selection)

To use the multi-channel function, add interfaces to the GOT with the following methods if required.

(1)GT16

•Install communication units on the extension interfaces.

•Use communication units installed on the extension interfaces with the RS-232 interface, the RS422/485 interface, and/or the Ethernet interface built in the GOT.

(Example: In the case of the GT1685)

Extension interface 1

Extension interface 2

Extension interface allows the installation of a communication unit up to the 3rd stage, respectively.

(For the GT1655, only one extension interface can be installed.)

Standard interface 1

(RS-232 interface built in the GOT)

Allows a controller to be connected via the serial communication.

For RS-232 communications, connect RS-232 cable. For RS-422 communications, attach an RS-422 conversion unit and connect RS-422 cable to it.

(For the GT1655, the RS-422 conversion unit is not applicable.)

Standard interface 2

(USB interface built in the GOT)

Not used for the multi-channel function.

Standard interface 4

(Ethernet interface built in the GOT)

Allows controllers to be connected via Ethernet. Up to four channels can be set.

Standard interface 3

(RS-422/485 interface built in the GOT)

Allows a controller to be connected via the serial communication.
