5.3.3 Setting Mode: “Communication Parameters”
(COM. Port / TOOL Port)
Touching the [Setting] key on the initial screen of the system menu and then
touching the [COM. Port] and [TOOL Port] keys on the setting mode menu displays

Bitrate: PLC communication speed
This sets the communication speed, or Baud rate, for communication with an external
device (PLC) connected to the GT10.
Each time the [Function] key is pressed, the Baud rate switches in the sequence of
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, 115200 bits/s. Set the speed to match that of the
PLC connected to the GT10.
Format: Transmission format
This sets the communication parameters (data length, stop bits, parity) for the external
device (PLC) connected to the GT10.
The items displayed are: Data length / Stop bit / Parity, and each time the [Function] key
is pressed, the display switches in the sequence of: [7/1/None], [7/1/Odd], [7/1/Even],
[8/1/None], [8/1/Odd], [8/1/Even]. Set the parameters to match those of the PLC
connected to the GT10.

[RETURN]To complete the settings and return to the previous screen,
touch the [ESC] key.
