2.7 Interface
2.7.1 Serial Interface
For the COM ports of ST3000 series and GP-4201TM, the signal of the serial port is
different. To know the details about them, see [
4.2 Shapes of COM ports ] and [ 4.3
Signals of COM ports ].
Because of it, the existing PLC connection cables cannot be used as they are. If you
use the existing connection cables, see [
4.5 Cable Diagram at the time of
replacemet ].
When the both COM1 and COM2 ports on ST3000 series have setting, devices can be
connected to the COM1 port only after replacement with GP-4201TM.
- When the COM1 port is used for RS-232C connection and the COM2 port for
RS-422/485 connection:
Replace with GP-4201TW instead of GP-4201TM.
- When the both COM1 and COM2 ports are used for RS-422/485 connection:

2.7.2 CF Card Interface
GP-4201TM is not equipped with a CF card slot. You can use an USB storage device
instead of a CF card but GP-4201TM supports the function of saving sampled data in
CSV only (GP-Pro EX Ver. 3.01 or later is required).
You can use the storage devices below instead after replacement:
GP-4301T SD card
GP-4301TW USB storage device
2.8 Clock
There’s no battery in GP-4201TM. When the GP’s power is turned OFF, the clock data
is reset. Using the Clock Update Settings of GP-Pro EX allows you to take in the clock
data of the connected device. For details, refer to 5.2 Adjusting the Time in the
GP-Pro EX Reference Manual.
