An Overview of GT01 Functions

3 colors can be displayed, to reflect the status
Various messages and graphics can be displayed on the liquid crystal display screen,
which measures 128 x 64 dots, as well as lamps, internal PLC data, graphs, clocks, and
other information. In addition, backlighting is available in three colors, green, orange, and
red, so that information can be colorcoded. This makes it easy to grasp information at
a glance.
Analog touch panel provided

GT01 comes with a compact touch panel. Switches and a keyboard can be laid out, so
operation is possible by simply touching the screen. Since this is an analog touch panel,
the freedom with which you can change the size of and layout switches is greater than
that possible with digital switches.
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/XP). Screens are put together simply by selecting parts
from a library and positioning them in place.

Installation
Installation
Installation Environment
When installing and using the GT series, 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:
Areas where the unit may come in contact with water (the unit is warranted by
IP65 for the installed panel, but this applies to initial values and operation cannot
be guaranteed in areas where the unit is constantly subjected to water or to
extreme temperatures or humidity).
Areas where the ambient temperature exceeds the range 0C to 50C/32F to
122F.
Areas where the ambient humidity exceeds 20% RH to 85% RH.
If the control panel and other parts are installed in an environment where the air
tends to be poorly ventilated, forced cooling should be used to keep the ambient
temperature of the from going over 50C/122F. This prevents the temperature of
the GT display unit from rising.
Locations where condensation may form because of sudden fluctuations in
temperature.
Locations where flammable or corrosive gases are present.
Locations where there are high concentrations of dust or iron filings.
Locations where substances such as organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.) or
strong alkali substances (ammonia, caustic soda, etc.) might adhere to the
product.
Locations where the product is subject to extreme vibration and/or impact.
Avoid installing the product near highvoltage lines, highvoltage devices, power
lines, power devices, amateur radio sets and other transmitters, and devices that
generate strong current surges.
Avoid locations where the display unit is subject to direct sunlight.
Safety Precautions
The switch functions of the programmable display unit should not be used to
design systems which may pose a threat to human life or which may cause
severe injury or damage. Designs should include safety mechanisms for use in
the event that switch functions do not function correctly.
15

2.1
GT series
Installation
Power Supply Wiring

For the power supply, use twisted wire (strand wire).
There is sufficient noise resistance to offset power line noise, but we recommend
reducing noise by measures such as installing an insulated transformer.
Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the
operating unit.
Static Electricity/Noise
Keep the GT01 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.).
For use in environments where the frequent occurrence of static electricity,
radiation, or induced noise can be expected, the use of shielded cable on all
wiring and grounding of shield (1point ground) is recommended. When wiring
the equipment, shielded wires should be electrically insulated to signal lines and
signal grounds.
If excessive static electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unit
may be damaged.
Other Precautions
Do not leave the GT connected to the TOOL port of the FP Programmer II.
Always operate the touch panel with your fingers. Excessive load (about 98
N/cm2 ) or impact (operating with tools, etc.) will cause damage. Touch panel
operation must be within the standard operating power range. Uniform pressure
should be used to avoid abnormal wear of electrodes which may disable
operation. Operate the unit only by touch.
Never dismantle, reassemble, or alter the unit. Performance cannot be
warranted if this precaution is disregarded.

Installation
GT01 Installation Method
Secure the GT01 to the installation panel using the four fittings and four screws
provided with the unit.
(1) Place the GT01 main unit in the installation panel.
(2) Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT01 main unit, and tighten
the screws to secure the GT01 main unit to the installation panel.
Enlarged view
CAUTION
Screw tightening torque
The screw tightening torque should be 0.1 N m to 0.25 N m.
Applicable panel thickness
A panel with a thickness of 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm should be used.
Clearance when the GT01 is installed
When installing the GT01, 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 GT01.
This prevents cables from being damaged, and facilitates the
installation work. Also, make sure that the slits in the main unit are
never obstructed.

Wiring the Power Supply
2.2
2.2.1
The power supply should be wired by securely connecting the terminal on the rear of
the main unit to the terminal.
Use twisted wiring for the power supply
In order to minimize influence from noise, the wiring for the power supply should be
twisted.
Insulate the power supply inside a protective circuit
In order to protect the unit against abnormal voltage from the power supply line, the
power supply should be an insulated type, and should be enclosed within a protective
circuit.
A noninsulated regulator is used with the GT series.
If a power supply device without an internal protective circuit is being used, power
should always be supplied to the GT series through a fuse or a similar protective device.
Keep the power supply voltage within the operating voltage range

Grounding
Be sure to ground when the influence of noise is great

The unit is tolerant against noise in normal environments, but if the environment is
particularly susceptible to noise, please ground.
Use dedicated grounding
For grounding purposes, use wires with a minimum of 2 mm2. The grounding
connection should have a resistance of less than 100 .
Make the grounding point as close as possible to the GT01 and keep the distance of
the grounding wire short.
Sharing the ground with another device may have an adverse effect. Therefore, be
sure that grounding is dedicated.

0.08 mm2 to 1.25 mm2
Use a special tool to tighten the terminal base of the communication connector
Using a screwdriver made by Matsushita Electric Works Co., Ltd. (Product number
AFP0806). The tightening torque should be 0.22 Nm to 0.25 Nm or less.
2.3.2
Wiring Method
(1) Remove the sheath from the wire.
7 mm/0.28 inch
(2) Insert the wire all the way into the terminal base, and tighten the screw in the
clockwise direction to secure it.

2.3.3
Precautions Concerning Wiring
The following precautions should be observed, to avoid broken or disconnected wires.

When removing the sheath, be careful not to scratch the core wire.
Wire the terminal without twisting the core wire.
The core wire should be connected without soldering it. Vibration can sometimes
cause soldered connections to break loose.
After connecting the wiring, avoid subjecting the cable to stress.
Because of the construction of the terminal, tightening the wire in the
counterclockwise direction will cause a faulty connection. If this happens,
disconnect the wire, check the terminal hole, and connect the wire again.

Setup Procedure for the GT01
Setup Procedure
The GT01 should be set up using the procedure outlined below.

(1) Setting the Configuration File with GTWIN
The GT01 has an internal file called the Configuration file, which is used to determine
various operating environment parameters. When the GT01 is shipped from the factory,
the settings listed below are set for the parameters in the configuration settings file. If
changes are made to these settings, they are made from GTWIN screen creation tool.
If the GT01 is being used without changing the factory settings, the following setup
procedure is not necessary.

As shown in the illustration, communication is carried out on an ongoing basis between

the GT01 and internal devices in the PLC. Internal PLC devices are divided into the
following two devices:
Basic communication area
This area is for system control, such as screen switching settings. PLC devices belong
to this area on a fixed basis, and communication is constantly being carried out.

Word devices For reading devices handled in word units (3 consecutive words)
Bit devices For reading devices handled in bit units (3 consecutive words)
References and output devices for parts
These are devices that are used in parts functions, and can be freely specified by the
user. Communication is carried out on an ongoing basis only for those that are currently
displayed on the screen and pertain to devices currently in use.
With the GT01, before GTWIN screen creation tool is used to specify the devices for
parts functions, the basic communication area must be determined.
DT0 to DT2 and WR0 to WR2 are set as the default values for the basic communication
area, but the initial address can be changed using the following procedure.

Automatic Communication Settings Function
4.11 Automatic Communication Settings Function

After turning on the power supply, if there is no response from the PLC connected to
the GT01, the GT01 switches to the automatic setting mode for the communication
conditions. In the automatic setting mode, commands are sent to the PLC while
changing the communication conditions in the sequence shown below.
GT01
If there is no response from the PLC,

commands are sent to the PLC while
changing the communication conditions.
PLC
(1) 9600 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit

(4) Communication conditions set in GTWIN Configuration Settings
The GT01, in automatic setting mode, continues to repeat steps (1) to (4) until there is
a response from the PLC. While it is repeating these steps, it is in the Standby mode
under GT01 Configuration a Communication Parameters a Handle Communication
Error on GTWIN. For information on how settings are entered, please refer to page 77.
Conditions when the automatic settings mode is in effect
If communication is attempted the specified number of times and
there is no response from the PLC, the GT01 goes into the automatic
settings mode. The number of attempts is specified using the No. of
Retries parameter under GT01 Configuration Communication
Parameters Handle Communication Error on GTWIN. For
information on how settings are entered, please refer to page 77.
Automatically set communication conditions
In the automatic settings mode, if there is a response from the PLC,
subsequent communication is carried out under conditions matching
the response. The main unit configuration settings are not updated,
however, even if the communication parameters are different from
those of the main unit configuration settings.

CAUTION
An error response from the PLC is taken as a response, and the GT01
does not go into the automatic settings mode.
If the unit is connected to the COM port of the
FP0/FP1/FP2/FP2SH/FPM, communication between the FP device
and the PLC will not be possible if the target usage of the RS232C
port has been set to Computer Link. Always set the setting on the
PLC side to match Computer Link. For detailed information, please
refer to Chapter 4, Connecting and Communicating with the PLC,
on page 31.

Through Function
4.12 Through Function

With the GT series, communication can be set to take place automatically between the
COM. and TOOL ports in a through function. When the FP series tool software
installed in the computer connected to the GT series as shown below is booted, PLC
programs can be edited through the GT series.
The through function does not require any special settings, and is always in the standby
mode.

Through Function
CAUTION
Precautions when using the through function
The system should be set up so that the interval for communication
retries in the FP series software (FPWIN GR or NPSTGR) (A) is larger
than that of the GT01 COM. port (B), meaning (A) > (B). If the system
is set up so that A = B or A < B, the through function will not work
properly.
Restrictions on COM. port connections
When connecting the GT01 to the COM port of a PLC, a separate
external DC 5 V power supply must be provided. Be sure to
remember this.
An FP Programmer II cannot be connected to the tool port.

Switching Screens
Switching Screens
There are three ways to switch screens registered in the GT main unit.
6.1.1
Switching the Screen from the PLC
GT main unit screens can be switched from the PLC ladder program, by writing the
number of the screen to be displayed in hexadecimal format to the initial word of the
word device in the basic communication area.
At the same time that the screen is switched, the GT main unit 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.

6.1.2
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 GT main unit. These parts should be arranged on the
base screen and assigned the attributes indicated below.
Function switching parts: Attribute editing dialog box
Doubleclicking on the parts arranged on the base screen, or selecting a switch part,
and clicking on the Parts (T) menu and then the Edit Attribute submenu displays
the dialog box shown above.
(1) Using the Change Screen operation mode
Select the Change Screen operation mode and specify the number of the screen to
be changed. Then press the switch part to switch the screen to the specified screen.
To return to the screen displayed just prior to the currently displayed screen, the Return
to Previous Screen operation mode can be used.
In this case, the value of the third word in the basic communication area / word
device (the number of the currently displayed screen) changes to that of the new screen
number, but please be aware that the contents of the first word (the screen number
specified by the PLC) do not change. For detailed information, see page 101.

(2) Using the Value Set operation mode

Select the Value Set operation mode and enter the following settings:
Data format: Specify 1 word
Output destination: Specify to first word of basic communication area / word device
Value: Number of screen to be changed to (hexadecimal specification)
Each time the GT main unit switch part is pressed, the screen number is forcibly written
by the GT main unit to the first word of the basic communication area / word device, and
the screen is switched.
If using this method, the values for both the first word of the basic communication
area / word device (the screen number specified by the PLC) and the third word (the
number of the currently displayed screen) are changed.

Switching Screens
Using the autopaging function

The GT main unit has an Autopaging 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.
For information on setting the autopaging function, please see page 81 (GT01).
If using this function, please be aware that the value of the third word in the basic
communication area / word device (the number of the currently displayed screen)
changes to that of the new screen number, but the contents of the first word (the screen
number specified by the PLC) do not change. For detailed information, see page 101.
Clicking on the
button displays the value setting dialog box shown below. Specify
the number of the screen to which the display is to be changed.

If the value is entered with the

button pressed as shown at the left, a

Switching Screens
Key points
If the screen does not change as expected
If the screen is changed from the PLC, and the GT main unit 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.
Example: Screen No. 1 is displayed in keeping with the instruction from the PLC, and
the screen is changed to Screen No. 2 using the function switch parts.
Contents of basic communication area / word device
Screen No. 1

In this state, 1 is already written for the first word, so if an instruction is sent from the
PLC to the first word to display Screen No. 1, it duplicates what is already written, and the
screen will not be switched.
101

6.1
GT series
Switching Screens
This problem can be solved in the following manner:

Use the forceddisplay 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. 1, or shortly after that point, the
forceddisplay flag in the first word/Bit E of the basic communication
area/bit device is turned on, using the bit as a PLC bit operation
instruction.
2) When the forceddisplay flag begins to go on, the screen
corresponding to the number written to the first word of the basic
communication area/word device, meaning Screen No. 1, is forcibly

at the rise of the forceddisplay flag).
3) After the screen has been switched, the forceddisplay flag should
be turned off.
Set the operation mode of the function switch parts to Value Set.
When the screen is switched using the function switch parts, as
shown in the illustration above, the operation mode of the function
switch parts is set to Value Set in order to switch the screen. (For
detailed information, see page 98.)
Using the Value Set mode changes the contents of the first word in
the basic communication area/word device (the screen number
specified by the PLC) and the third word (the number of the currently
displayed screen) to that of the new screen number, and thus avoids
the kind of case described above.

Functions (GT01)
Bit Device Functions
In order for communication to be carried out between the GT01 and PLC, an internal
device area like that shown below is provided in the PLC. This basic communication
area contains two types of devices: word devices, which are used to handle screen
numbers and other data, and bit devices, which are used for bit information. The various
bits of the bit devices are turned on and off from the PLC, and can be used to control
various GT01 operations.
