The 2-Port feature allows you to use Mitsubishi’s GPP software package (ladder
programming software) on your PC while the GLC is connected to a PLC. With a
GLC2000 Series unit, you can use the 2-Port feature in the following two ways:
• Via the internal 2-Port feature
The GLC’s Tool Connector and a PC are connected via a data transfer cable (GPW-CB02).
• Via the external 2-Port Adapter II
Pro-face’s 2-Port Adapter II (GP070-MD11) is used.
