PLC SETUP

Setup the System Area and the Unit number in this screen. Because 1:1 and n:1
GP connections utilize different settings, confirm your connection's needs before
using any settings. The following assumes that the Direct Access format is used.
• The screens may differ depending on the PLC type you selected in the screen cre-
ation software.
• When the GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows Ver 3.0 "Simulation" feature is used, the
OPERATION SURROUNDINGS menu cannot be entered.

5.5.1 SET UP OPERATION SURROUNDINGS(1:1/n:1)

Enter the PLC System Data Area and the Unit Number settings here. Same op-
tions are available for both 1:1 Connection and n:1 (Multi-link) Connection.
For 1:n (Multi-link) Connection, System Data Area settings must be setup for each
GP connected.
SYSTEM AREA START (DEV/ ADR)
Setup the System Data Area's Start Address. Device addresses which can be
allocated will differ depending on the PLC type.
UNIT NO.
Set up the PLC UNIT number here. Make sure it matches the one set up in the
PLC.
SYSTEM AREA READ SIZE (0-256)
When using a Block Display Trend Graph, setup the Reading Area Size (in word
units) to match the Trend Graph's data size. Setup when you wish to allocate the
Reading Area in the PLC Data Register (D), or Data Memory (DM).
If you are not using the Reading Area, leave the 0 default values intact. This will
allow you to perform high speed data communication.
