1 GOT interface required to use the FA transparent function
Connect the PC, to which GX Developer or any other relevant software has been installed, to the RS-
232 interface or USB interface of the GOT.
When performing the FA transparent function, use either RS-232 interface or USB interface of the GOT.
Using both of them to perform the FA transparent function concurrently is not allowed.
2 Conditions for suspending the FA transparent function
The FA transparent function is also suspended when any of the following operations, which stop the
GOT monitor, is performed.
Note that the FA transparent function will not be stopped while using the optional function such as the
Utility display or ladder monitor function.
(1) When project data is downloaded/uploaded by GT Designer2, or when the OS is installed
(2) When the GOT is set up.
(3) When no communication request (online monitor, etc.) has been issued from GX Developer for 45
minutes
*1 A timeout error occurs in GX Developer.
3 When monitoring the PLC CPU from a PC
When monitoring the PLC CPU from a PC, the GOT and PC refresh the display slower.
4 Software available for the FA tranparent function
When multiple kinds of software are activated on one PC, only one of them is available for
communications using the FA transparent function.
Do not concurrently perform any communications using the FA transparent function.
(Offline operation with each software is available.)
Also, do not perform communications with the GOT (e.g. downloading project data) from GT Designer2
during execution of communications using the FA transparent function.
