Usage Conditions When installing the product, make sure it is used within the range of the general specifications. Do not use in the following environments:...
Page 40
- Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the operating unit. Static Electricity/Noise - Keep the GT10 main unit, PLC connecting cable, and other wiring as far away as possible from machines which are likely to produce noise (welding equipment, power lines, inverters, motors, etc.).
(1) Place the GT10 main unit in the installation panel. (2) Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT10 main unit, and tighten the screws to secure the GT10 main unit to the installation panel.
Page 42
When installing the GT10, if other parts are being installed to the panel or cables are being wired to it, we recommend providing a clearance of 30 mm to 50 mm/1.18 inch to 1.97 inch around the GT10. This prevents cables from being damaged, and facilitates the installation work.

At the same time that the screen is switched, the GT10 writes the number of the screen to which the display was switched in the first to third words of the basic communication area, in hexadecimal format.
Using the function switch unit GTWIN has “function switching parts” (FSW0, FSW1, FSW2) in the parts library that can be used to switch screens on the GT10. These parts should be arranged on the base screen and assigned the attributes indicated below.
Page 109
- Value: Number of screen to be changed to (hexadecimal specification) Each time the GT10 switch part is pressed, the screen number is forcibly written by the GT10 to the first word of the basic communication area / word device, and the screen is switched.
Page 110
Switching Screens Using the auto - paging function The GT10 has an “Auto - paging” function that automatically switches the screen to a specified screen number when a certain period of time has elapsed. This function can be used to switch screens automatically.
Page 111
• If the screen does not change as expected If the screen is changed from the PLC, and the GT10 function switch parts are also used to change the screen (Change Screen operation mode), a case sometimes occurs in which the screen does not change, even though an instruction to change the screen has been issued by the PLC.

How the Various Functions Are Used GT10 Switching Screens This problem can be solved in the following manner: • Use the “forced - display flag” in the basic communication area/bit device. 1) At the same time that the PLC issues an instruction to change the screen again to Screen No.
6.2.1 Bit Device Functions In order for communication to be carried out between the GT10 and PLC, an internal device area like that shown below is provided in the PLC.
