Introduction 1

1. Introduction
This section describes the product and system configuration of the graphic operation terminal.
1.1 Outline
The graphic operation terminal (hereafter abbreviated to
GOT) is to be mounted on the face of a control panel or
operations panel, and connected to a programmable
controller (hereafter abbreviated to PLC (except the A0J2))
Various devices can be monitored and PLC data changed
through the screens of the GOT.
There are several display screens built-in to the GOT
which offer various functions. In addition user defined
screens can be created.
The user defined screens and the built-in screens (system
screens) have the following respective functions.
User screens
• Screen display function
The following functions can be assigned to each screen. Also the available screens can be
limited using the security function.
Both software packages, FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E, and SWoD5C-GOTRE-PACK ("o" indicates
a numeric not less than "1".) can be used to create user screens.
Display function
- Up to 500 user defined screens can be displayed. In screen creation, two or more
screens can be overlaid or changed over arbitrarily.
- Simple graphics such as straight lines, circles and rectangles can be displayed, along
with numerics and English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean text. Also bitmaps can be
imported and displayed as well as pre-defined screen components.
Monitor function
- Set values and current values of word devices in the PLC can be displayed in numerics
or bar graphs for monitoring.
- The specified range of the screen components can be displayed in reverse in
accordance with the ON/OFF status of bit devices in the PLC.
Data change function
- The numeric data being monitored can be changed.
Switch function
- By manipulating the operation keys in the GOT, bit devices in the PLC can be set to ON
and OFF.
The display panel face can be assigned as touch keys to offer switch functions.

System screens
• Monitor function
List program (only in the FX Series)
- Programs can be read, written and monitored in the form of an instruction list program.
Buffer memory (only in the FX2N and FX2NC Series)
- The contents of buffer memories (BFMs) of special blocks can be read, written and
monitored.
Device monitor
- The ON/OFF status of each device, the set value and current value of each timer,
counter and data register in the PLC can be monitored and changed.
- Specified bit devices can be forced ON or OFF.
Unlike the monitor function described previously, screen data can be edited by inputting
a desired device No. from the keyboard.
• Data sampling function
The current value of specified data registers are acquired in a constant cycle or when the
trigger condition is satisfied.
- Sampling data can be displayed in the form of list or graph.
- Sampling data can be output to a printer in the form of list.
• Alarm function
Alarm messages can be assigned to up to 256 consecutive bit devices in the PLC. When a
bit device becomes ON, the assigned message is displayed (overlapped) on the user
screen.
In addition, a specified user screen can be displayed by setting a corresponding bit device
to ON.
- When a bit device becomes ON, a corresponding message is displayed on the user
screen. The message list can be also displayed.
- Up to 1,000 alarms (turning ON of bit devices) can be stored as the alarm history.
- The alarm frequency of each device can be stored as historical data.
- Alarm history can be output to a printer using the screen creation software.
• Other functions
Many other functions are built in.
- A real-time clock, current time and data can be set and displayed.
- The GOT can function as an interface to enable data communication between the PLC
and a personal computer in which the relay ladder creation software is operating. At this
time, the GOT screen can also be displayed.
- The screen contrast and the buzzer sound volume can be adjusted.
