Page 21 GT10 An Overview of GT10 Functions Screens can be created easily, using special tools Screen contents can be easily created using the dedicated Terminal GTWIN tool (runs on Windows 95/98/2000/NT). Screens are put together simply by selecting parts from a library and positioning them in place.
Page 22 If connections are made as shown in the diagram, a convenient “through” function makes it possible to transfer data from the GT10 and carry out PLC debugging at the same time that communication is going on between the GT10 and the FP series PLC. This significantly boosts efficiency in the workplace.

Installation Installation 2.1.1 Installation Environment When installing and using the GT10, always make sure the following conditions are observed. 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.).
Page 41: Installation Method
(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.
Page 108: Switching The Screen With The Gt Main Unit
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.
