Send Data from a GLC to a CF Card, then to another GLC
The CF Card allows you to use backup data saved in a GLC for setting up another
GLC. First, upload (transfer) your GLC unit’s backup data to your CF Card. Next,
remove the CF Card, insert it in a different GLC and download (transfer) the CF
Card’s data to that GLC. Be sure that the CF Memory Loader Tool is saved on the
CF Card prior to using this method.

1.4.3 Sound Output
This feature allows you to connect a speaker to the GLC unit’s Sound Output
Terminal to produce sound output without using Pro-face’s optional Multi Unit.
This feature can be used when an operator wishes to create a sound-alarm or a
sound-message, rather than only checking alarms or messages via the GLC screen.
It can be also used as a machinery operation guide, or for multimedia.

1.4.4 Expansion Serial I/F
The Expansion Serial Interface allows you to connect a bar-code reader, a 2-D
code reader, or other type of I/O device. It enables the input/output of large vol-
umes of data which cannot be handled with a conventional bar code reader inter-
face.
Also, connecting an I/O device requires the creation of a data transfer protocol
(via the D-Script feature).
