Occasionally, you may want to change your GP's general operation settings. The
settings used for this are found in the INITIALIZE option in the GP OFFLINE
mode's MAIN MENU.
This chapter explains each of the OFFLINE mode's INITIALIZE items. However,
there are 2 types of INITIALIZE settings, those for the
1:1 connection and those
for the n:1 (multi-link) connection
*1
.
The n:1 mark appears on original menu items related to n:1 multi-link connection
items. If there is no mark, the menu item is common to both 1:1 and n:1 connec-
tions.
1:1 A single (1) GP is connected with a single (1) PLC.
n:1 Multiple GPs are connected with a single PLC. The GPs successively pass a
PLC Access Token (exclusive PLC interaction key) among themselves to
designate which unit can communicate with the PLC.
If you transfer the GP's system file data to the GP via your screen design software
*2
,
the GP operates using that data. If the GP System file has been correctly setup and
transferred, the setting of INITIALIZE items become unnecessary.
