Ver. A GOT1000 Startup Guide GT1020/GT1030-to-FX Connection Overview: This document provides a simple guide and reference for setting up the GT1020 or GT1030 Graphic Operation Terminal (GOT) hardware and firmware for use with an FX Series PLC. Hardware Introduction: The GT1020 and GT1030 are monochrome, 3-color backlight, two communication channel GOT1000 Series touch panel interfaces, and consist of the following models: Model GT1020 GT1030 Size 3.7” 160 x 64 dot 4.
through the communication cables, described below. 5V DC version GT1020 GOTs The GT1020-LBL and GT1020-LBLW are the only two 5V DC GOTs in the GOT1000 lineup. They are powered directly from the communication cable, and can only be connected with an FX Series PLC. Other PLCs and connectable products will not provide the necessary 5V DC power. The power terminals have been removed from the 5V DC versions.
* - Special Adapters require an additional FX**-CNV-BD or, for the FX3U only, a Communication Expansion Board. For all screw terminals on the GT1020/GT1030, use a small flathead screwdriver to secure the wires within the PLC Communication Connector (recommended blade size and tightening torque: 0.4 x 2.5 mm and 0.22 to 0.25 N•m). Programming Cables: The GT1020 and GT1030 come pre-installed with an OS and FX communication driver, but without any project data.
Note that using the GT10-RS2TUSB-5S will require a virtual USB COM port driver to be installed on the PC. The COM port number can be automatically or manually assigned so that it does not overlap with the existing COM port numbers assigned on that PC. When using a Q-Series programming cable, the COM port number already assigned to the RS-232C interface of the PC will have to be checked.
To access the OS installation mode of the GT1020/GT1030, switch the GOT power from OFF to ON, while holding the bottom right corner of the touch screen (in Horizontal layout), illustrated to the right. Power ON While the “Please install the OS” screen is displayed, go to the “OS Install -> GOT” tab in the “Communicate with GOT” window of GT Designer2 and select “Standard monitor OS” from the data selection tree. Use the “Install” button to initiate the data transfer and update the firmware.
