*3 When using optional Ethernet I/F unit, a bus conversion unit (PSL-CONV00)
is required.
*4Using the optional Ethernet I/F Unit allows you to set up separate Class and
Net No.s for 2-Way Driver applications (Pro-Server, GP-Web and others)
and the PLC. When doing this, data transfer with the PLC is performed through
the optional Ethernet I/F Unit.
For cable connections, refer to the user's manual for each optional unit.
For the GP2000 and GLC2000 series units, however, refer to the User
Manual for the main unit.

HIDIC H Series Ethernet Protocol Limitations
When conecting your GP/GLC unit using the HIDIC H Ethernet Protocol to an
HIDICHSeries unitoraWeb Controller,the followinglimitationsapply.


Device Address and Node Number Limitations
Whena device address’ssize islargerthan1024 (1K) or a differentNodeNumber
set,thenumberofavailabledeviceaddresseswillvary.TheGPusesinternalrecords
that are used to set the device addresses. These records are limited to 64. For
example, when the WR0 device address is set, a single record is used in the GP.
Fordetailedexamples,refertothe following chart.
Ex1.) Numberofrecordsused whendesignatingtagsettingnumbers.
When the total number of Node Number and Device Addresses exceeds
1024, GP internal records are used. However, if the Node Number and
DeviceAddressare the sametype, no recordwill be used, evenif the device
typesaredifferent.
Ex2.) WhensettingtagsfromWR0000toWR4000inWordInternalOutput,since
one record is used for every 1024 addresses, a total of 16 records will be
used.
16384(0x4000)/1024=16
Therefore,whensettingthesamenumberoftagsforeachnode,settingsfora
total of four nodes can be set.
64/16=4
When the number of records is over 65, the following error message will
appear on GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows.
“Address entry limit reached. No more can be entered.”

TheGPunitprocessesdatainternallybyseparatingdataintoblocksof1024words.
Therefore, when a Block Write is requested that uses 41 or more words and will
exceedthe1024 word limit,thefollowing features cannotbe used.
- PLC Device Write using D-Script's Memory Operation Feature
