6.3 Entering Configuration Settings from the GT30

 

 

6.3.5Setting Mode: “Communication Parameters” (TOOL Port / COM. Port)

Touch the [Port] key on the initial screen of the system menu to display the communication parameters setting screen. Here, parameters controlling communication between the PLC and personal computer (GTWIN) connected to the GT30 are specified.

Through function: Through function destination setting

When the through function is being used, this specifies the number of the PLC at the other end of the connection. Normally, when used in a 1 : 1 configuration, this should be set to “00”.

Bitrate: GTWIN communication speed

Each time the [Function] key is touched, the Baud rate switches in the sequence of 9600/19200/115200 bits/s. Set the speed to match that of the personal computer (GTWIN) connected to the GT30.

Format: Transmission format

This sets the communication parameters (data length, stop bits, parity) for the personal computer (GTWIN) connected to the GT30.

The items displayed are: Data length / Stop bit / Parity, and each time the [Function] key

is pressed, the display switches in the sequence of: [8/1/None], [8/1/Odd], [8/1/Even].

COM. Port communication parameter settings (PLC communication parameter settings)

Bitrate: PLC communication speed

This sets the communication speed or Baud rata, for communication with an external device (PLC) connected to the GT30.

Each time the [Function] key is pressed, the Baud rate switches in the sequence of 9600/19200/38400/57600/1 15200 bits/s. Set the speed to match that of the PLC connected to the GT30.
