2.4. Interface 2.4.1. Serial Interface The SP5000 series has a COM port on the side of box module. The pin array and the shapes of the plug and the socket differ between GP-3600T COM2 port and SP-5B10 (Power box)/SP-5B00 (Standard box) COM port. The PLC connection cable that used to be connected to GP3000 Series via its COM2 port cannot be used as it is.
2.4.5. CF Card Interface SP5000 series is not equipped with a CF card slot. But a SD card slot and a USB interfaces are installed. In order to use the GP-3600T data saved in the CF card and the functions using the CF card, use a SD card or a USB flash drive instead. SP-5B10 (Power box) has 2 SD card interfaces, one for the system and the other for backup.
2.5. Peripheral units and option units 2.5.1. Barcode/ 2D [two-dimensional] code reader connection Like GP3000 series, SP5000 series allows you to connect a barcode reader to its USB interface (Type A) or its serial interface. In replacing GP3000 series with SP5000 series, verify proper operation of the barcode/2D code reader before use.
2.5.4. Isolation Unit RS-485 isolation unit for GP3000 Series (CA3-ISO485-01) cannot be used for SP-5B10 (Power box)/ SP-5B00 (Standard box). You can use the RS-232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) for SP-5B10 (Power box)/ SP-5B00 (Standard box) instead. (The communication method is switched with this unit’s DIP switch.) Note for using RS-232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) ・...
