8.5.5.2 1:1 Communication with Programmable Displays of GT Series
For a 1:1 MEWTOCOL-COM connection between the FP Σ and a programmable display of the
GT Series, an RS232C cable is needed. Communication is performed via commands from the
programmable display and responses from the PLC.
No program is required for communication. Simply set the mutual communication settings to
operate the PLC via the programmable display.
It is recommended to connect the computer to the TOOL port of the FP Σ . A connection cable
(order no. AFC8513D) with a 5-pin mini-DIN connector and a 9-pin Sub-D connector is
available.
