3.7 Parts Library
The parts library contains parts, i.e. functions prepared and stored ahead of time. When
GTWIN is booted, the "standard" parts most commonly used are displayed. The parts
available depend on the GT model.
Part Description
Switch (see p. 182) Switch parts turn the bit device of the corresponding PLC on and off.
Function switch (see p. 184) Function switch parts are used to switch screens or execute arithmetic
operations when the switch is touched, etc.
Lamp (see p. 188) Lamp parts change color when the bit device (i.e. address) of the PLC being
referenced is turned on or off.
Message (see p. 190) Message parts display messages when the corresponding bit in a word device
(i.e. address) of the PLC being referenced is turned on or off. Up to 16 different

Data (see p. 194) Data parts are used to display the contents of internal PLC devices (i.e.

the programmable display unit.
