ALL-LOCK function

All keys on the operation panel are locked when the channel shift key is pressed for 3 sec. or more (unless CH-SELECT is set on 'PANEL'). 
To release the lock, press the channel shift key for 3 sec., or more, again.

Response time

The controllers 

GD-C1

 and 

GD-C2

 automatically select the most suitable signal processing method, according to the material and thickness of 

the sensing object. Depending on the selected signal processing method, the response time is also automatically determined as either '5ms or 
less', or '30ms or less'.
Further, when controller 

GD-C3

 is used, the response time is 5ms or less.

The response time of the controllers, 

GD-C1

 and 

GD-C2

, can be confirmed by the following procedure.

Ԙ
ԙ

Press '0-ADJ. key' in RUN mode'.
The channel display shows an alphanumeric character that represents the re-
sponse time in the right.

GD-C2

 can feed in the set level data into a PC or PLC memory using RS-232C serial communication and retrieve it whenever required.

In this case, the taught data should be stored in the prescribed channel.

Command


If the sent command is ineffective, 

GD-C2

 returns 'Not Available'.

All characters including send and response statements are based on ASCII code.

All commands used to communicate with 

GD-C2

 are classified into three groups: write command, read command, and others (ASCII coded data 

communication).

Notes: 1) 

2) 

3) 

The 

GD

 series automatically selects the most effective sensing process 

according to the material and thickness of the object.
The process number ranges from '00 to 47' in decimal number system.
Both the one-sheet level data and the two-sheet level data are repre-
sented by decimal numbers from '0 to 4,095',
The data information, information on the presence of data, the sensing 
mode, etc., is represented by decimal numbers from '00 to 63'.

 to confirm the communication.

<Type of commands>

Note: Both the one-sheet level data and the two-sheet level data are represented 

by decimal numbers from '0 to 4,095',

Note: Make sure to turn the power off when set the parameter DIP switch. When turn the power on, the set contents are reflected.

After setting, be sure to mount the protective cover.
