Explanation of system areas

BZ ––– This turns on the buzzer.

Forced–Display flag ––– At the rise when the bit is turned on, the screen specified by the PLC is forcibly displayed. (This is executed only when at the rise of the bit.)

Backlight Valid flag ––– When the bit is turned on, the backlight flashing/backlight color control becomes effective.

Backlight Flashing ––– 0: Lighted (normal), 1: Flashing

Backlight Color ––– 00: Off, 01: Green, 10: Red, 11: Orange

BAT ––– This goes on if clock data and Hold PLC Device data held in the SRAM are not being backed up normally. (This bit also goes on if the SRAM is not backed up by the internal secondary battery.)

Data Input In Progress flag ––– This is 1 while data is being input, and 0 when data input has been completed.

EXPLANATION

“IOP01” mode

The GT10 is equipped with an IOP01 mode for users with conventional models (I.O.P. B01C / M01L / D01TL series).Using this function enables compatibility with earlier models, so that communication is possible between the GT10 and PLC, except for one part of the basic communication area.

Entering settings for the IOP01 mode

Click on the “File” menu in GTWIN, and then select “Configuration” from the displayed menu. Next, select “GT Configuration” from the
