Page 210: Appendix.2 Data Transfer To The Got With The Data Storage
Appendix.2 Data transfer to the GOT with the data storage Screen data, BootOS, or CoreOS can be written to the GOT from a data storage where the CoreOS, BootOS, or package data has been written. When the package data is written to multiple GOTs, using the data storage eliminates the need to carry a personal computer or cables, enhancing your convenience.
Page 211 Appendix.2.1 Overall procedure This section describes the overall procedures for data transfer to the GOT using a data storage. Data storage SD card USB memory *1 *2 Drive C 1) CoreOS • CoreOS 2) BootOS • BootOS • Package data 3) Package data Package data (SD card)
Page 212 Precautions for data transfer Memory card Do not store any other data in a data storage where each type of data (CoreOS, BootOS, or package data) is to be written. When the data is written, the other data is deleted. CoreOS, BootOS, and package data cannot be stored in the same memory card.
Page 213: Appendix.3 About The Fa Transparent Function
Appendix.3 About the FA transparent function The FA transparent function allows the sequence programs of the Mitsubishi PLC to be read, written and monitored via GOT when the GOT is connected both to Mitsubishi GOT and to a personal computer. Debugging, starting up, and adjustment of the sequence program can be carried out through the USB port equipped in front of GOT, which requires no cumbersome steps like panel opening or reconnection of cables.
Page 214 Appendix.3.2 Procedures up to accessing This section describes the system configurations using the following connection examples: • Connection between the personal computer and GOT: USB connection • Connection between GOT and PLC: Ethernet connection The following shows the procedure before accessing.
