(2) Other generic terms and abbreviations
This manual uses the following generic terms and abbreviations to explain the
data-communication devices for the serial communication module. The
names/model names are provided when it is necessary to explicitly identify the
model being discussed.
Generic term/abbreviation Description of generic term/abbreviation
BIDIN Abbreviation for G.BIDIN or GP.BIDIN.
BIDOUT Abbreviation for G.BIDOUT or GP.BIDOUT.
Buffer memory
Generic term for memory of the intelligent function modules/special function modules used for
storing data sent to or received from the programmable controller CPU. (setting values, monitor
values, etc.)
BUFRCVS Abbreviation for Z.BUFRCVS.
Computer
Generic term for one of the external devices with which data can be sent/received using the MC
protocol or the bidirectional protocol.
CPRTCL Abbreviation for G.CPRTCL or GP.CPRTCL.
CSET Abbreviation for ZP.CSET.
Data communication function
Generic term for MC protocol, non procedure protocol, and bidirectional protocol, and pre-defined
protocol.
GETE Abbreviation for G.GETE or GP.GETE.
GX Configurator-SC
Abbreviation for GX Configurator-SC (SW0D5C-QSCU-E or later).
• Initial settings for the module, monitoring and testing can be performed without using a sequence
program and without considering I/O signals or buffer memory. (Intelligent function utility)
• Converting sequence programs necessary for data communication processing into function blocks
(FB) can shorten program production man-hours.
In addition, the monitoring and analysis of the transmitted/received data by the communication
network can shorten the system start-up time. (Protocol FB support function)
• Since the protocol required for communication with each external device (thermal regulator,
barcode reader, etc.) can be set easily, the steps for creating transmission control programs
appropriate to the external device can be reduced.
Also, the volume of the programs written to a programmable controller CPU can be reduced
because protocol setting data are written to a flash ROM.
The debugging support function allows monitoring and analysis of communication data on the
network, enabling a shorter system startup time. (Pre-defined protocol support function)
GX Developer
Generic product name for SWnD5C-GPPW-E, SWnD5C-GPPW-EA, SWnD5C-GPPW-EV, and
SWnD5C-GPPW-EVA. (n represents the version.)
"-A" and "-V" mean "volume license product" and "version-upgrade product" respectively.
GX Works2 Generic product name for SWnDNC-GXW2. (n represents the version.)
I/F Abbreviation for interface.
INPUT Abbreviation for G.INPUT.
Intelligent function module devices
Generic term for buffer memory of the intelligent function modules used for storing data sent to or
received from the programmable controller CPU. (setting values, monitor values, etc.)
Intelligent function modules
Generic term for the Q series programmable controller modules that are operated by commands
from the programmable controller CPU (equivalent to the A series programmable controller special
function modules).
Examples:
• CC-Link interface module
• A/D and D/A conversion modules
• Ethernet interface module
• Serial communication module
MELSECNET/10 Abbreviation for MELSECNET/10 network system.
MELSECNET/H Abbreviation for MELSECNET/H network system.
MX Component Abbreviation for MX Component (SW0D5C-ACT-E or later).
ONDEMAND Abbreviation for G.ONDEMAND or GP.ONDEMAND.
