3. Settings of GT Series (GTWIN)
3.1 Creating New GT Series Screen Data
For creating screen data to connect with FP7, "Panasonic FP7 series" should be selected for PLC Model.
Select "Panasonic FP7 series" for PLC Model on the GTWIN screen for creating a new file.
When selecting a GT model that is not supported for FP7, "Panasonic FP7 series" cannot be selected for
PLC Model. Use a GT model supported for FP7.

11
3.2 Communication Parameters of GT Series
For connecting GT series and FP7, the communication parameters of GT series and FP7 should be set
with GTWIN. Select "FIle" - "Configuration" - "GT Configuration" from the menu of GTWIN, and set the
parameters in the "Communication Parameters" page.
Settings
Baud rate Select a baud rate. Set the same baud rate as that of FP7.
Data length Select a data length. Set the same data length as that of FP7.
Parity bit
Select a communication parity. Set the same parity as that of FP7.
Retry
Set the number of retries when a communication error occurs. Communication
is retried for the specified number of times. When communication is not
achieved, it is considered as an error.
Wait
Set the wait time for a response being returned from PLC after the transmission
of a command from GT to PLC. When no response is received within the
specified wait time, the process is retried.
Display error code
Select whether error codes are displayed at the top right of the screen or not
when errors including a communication error are detected.
"Off" Error codes are not displayed.
"On (Hold)" Error codes are displayed. Once an error is detected, the
error code is held even after recovery from the error state.
"On (Unhold)" Error codes are displayed. When the GT is recovered from
an error, the error code display is cleared.
Transmission
delay
For connecting with RS232C or RS422, specify "0". For connecting with RS485,
adjust the setting with the GT and FP7 actually connected.

12
3.3 Clock Setting
The reference format of PLC internal clock for "Panasonic FP7 series" is different from that for traditional
"Panasonic FP series". GT supports the both formats. Select either FP7 or FP format.
Select from "Clock" - "Format" and "Transfer" - "Format" in "Setup 1" of GT Configuration. The FP7 clock
data is stored in SD50 to 56. To refer to the internal clock of FP7, set "Reference Device" to SD50.

Note) Although the clock data of FP7 is stored in SD50 to SD56, any values cannot be written in these
areas. Therefore, the FP7 internal clock cannot be changed even by using the clock transfer function.
Update the FP7 internal clock by TIMEWT instruction after outputting the data to data register, etc. using
the clock transfer function.
