5.3.3Setting Mode: “Communication Parameters” (COM. Port / TOOL Port)
Touching the [Setting] key on the initial screen of the system menu and then touching the [COM. Port] and [TOOL Port] keys on the setting mode menu displays the communication parameters setting screen. Here, parameters controlling communication between the PLC and personal computer (GTWIN) connected to the GT10 are specified.

Bitrate: PLC communication speed
This sets the communication speed, or Baud rate, for communication with an external device (PLC) connected to the GT10.
Each time the [Function] key is pressed, the Baud rate switches in the sequence of 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, 115200 bits/s. Set the speed to match that of the PLC connected to the GT10.
Format: Transmission format
This sets the communication parameters (data length, stop bits, parity) for the external device (PLC) connected to the GT10.
The items displayed are: Data length / Stop bit / Parity, and each time the [Function] key
is pressed, the display switches in the sequence of: [7/1/None], [7/1/Odd], [7/1/Even], [8/1/None], [8/1/Odd], [8/1/Even]. Set the parameters to match those of the PLC connected to the GT10.
SHORTCUTS
[RETURN]To complete the settings and return to the previous screen, touch the [ESC] key.
