2 Selection of External Device
Select the External Device to be connected to the Display.
Setup Items Setup Description
Maker Select the maker of the External Device to be connected. Select "Siemens AG".
Driver
Select a model (series) of the External Device to be connected and connection method.
Select "SIMATIC S7 3964(R)/RK512".
Check the External Device which can be connected in "SIMATIC S7 3964(R)/RK512" in
system configuration.
)"1 System Configuration" (page 3)
Use System Area
Check this option when you synchronize the system data area of the Display and the device
(memory) of the External Device. When synchronized, you can use the ladder program of
the External Device to switch the display or display the window on the Display.
Cf. GP-Pro EX Reference Manual "Appendix 1.4 LS Area (only for direct
access method)"
This can be also set with GP-Pro EX or in off-line mode of the Display.
Cf. GP-Pro EX Reference Manual "System Area Setting, 6.13.6 Setting Guide
of [System Setting Window]"
Cf. GP3000 Series User Manual "4.3.6 System Area Setting"
Port Select the Display port to be connected to the External Device.

3 Example of Communication Setting
Examples of communication settings of the Display and the External Device, recommended by Pro-face, are
shown.
3.1 Setting Example 1
Setting of GP-Pro EX
Communication Settings
To display the setting screen, select [Device/PLC Settings] from [System setting window] in workspace.
Device Setting
To display the setting screen, click ([Setting]) of External Device you want to set from [Device-Specific
Settings] of [Device/PLC Settings].
When [Allowable No. of Device/PLCs] is multiple, you can click from [Device-Specific Settings] of
[Device/PLC Settings] to add External Device which is available to set.

Settings of External Device
(1) Startup "SIMATIC Manager" and create the new project. Set the optional project name and click [OK]. New
project is created.
(2) From the menu bar, select [Insert], [Station], [Name of CPU type to use] (ex: [1 SIMATIC 400 Station]) in this
order.
(3) [(Name of CPU type to use)] (ex: [SIMATIC 400 (1)]) is created in the project. Double-click [Hardware] of
the name of CPU type to use.
(4) When the [HW Config] screen displayed, open [(Name of CPU type to use)], [(RACK type to use)] (ex:
[SIMATIC 400], [RACK-400]) in this order from the left tree and select the base unit of the using model.
(5) Drag & drop the selected base unit to the upper right window. The rack figure is created in the window.
(6) Drag & drop the using power unit in the rack.
(7) Similarly, drag & drop the using CPU unit.
(8) When using CPUxxx-xDP, the [Properties - PROFIBUS interface DP] dialog box is displayed. In that case,
click [Cancel] and close the dialog box.
(9) Similarly, drag & drop the using link unit.
(10)Double-click the CPU unit dropped in the rack.
(11)When the [MPI port] setting dialog box is displayed, click [Properties].
(12)Click [Properties] as "MPI(1) 187.5 Kbps" is selected as default. The value entered in [Address] this time
becomes the Destination Node No. (PLC Address) you set in GP-Pro EX. The default is "2".
(13)To change the speed [Transmission rate] and the highest value of the node No. [Highest MPI address], click
the [Network Settings] tab.
Select [187.5Kbps] for [Transmission rate]. To change the highest value of the node No. (Highest MPI
address), check [Change] to allow you to select from the list.
(14)When you finish setting, click [OK] and close the dialog box.
(15)Close other dialog boxes similarly.

(16)Select [(Name of CPU type to use)] in the project, and open [Blocks] in the program, then double-click
[OB1].
(17)Here, you need to arrange the ladder program. Sample ladder program is shown below.
(18)Next, double-click [Hardware] in the CPU.
(19)Double-click the link unit as the link unit to use is already registered by the previous operation.
(20)To enable the communication between the External Device and the Display, click the [Parameter] button.
(21)The Parameter window is displayed. Select [RK512] from the [Protocol] list box and double-click the
[Protocol] image in the window.
(22)When the [Protocol] dialog box is displayed, set in the [RK 512] tab as below.
(23)When you finish setting, click [OK] and close the dialog box.
