1. OVERVIEW

1

This manual explains the gateway functions that can be performed on the GOT-A900 series.

There are the following gateway functions to support remote watching and remote maintenance of production sites from an office.

• Server function • Client function

• FTP server function • Mail send function

1.1 Features of Server and Client Functions

Collection of data by personal computer (server function)

Monitoring the GOTs (servers) from the personal computer (MX Component) allows data to be read/written indirectly from/to the PLC CPU devices being monitored by the GOTs.

If the PLC CPU of a different maker is monitored, use of the server function enables data to be read/written with only MX Component and the communication method to be standardized by

Ethernet.

Previously ...

When server function is used ...

Install peripheral software programs of various companies.

Necessary software is MX Component only.

Monitoring of other GOTs from client GOT (server function, client function)

Monitoring of the GOTs (servers) from the GOT (client) allows data to be read/written indirectly from/to the PLC CPU devices being monitored by the GOTs (servers).

Use of the client function enables data to be read/written indirectly from/to the PLC CPUs of different makers that are different from the maker of the PLC CPU connected to the GOT (client).

This chapter describes the system configuration of the gateway functions.

2.1 System Configuration of Gateway Functions

When the gateway functions are used, one GOT connects to Ethernet and PLCs and therefore both the

Ethernet communication module and communication board must be mounted to the GOT.

Hence, the gateway functions cannot be used for the GOT that cannot be mounted with the Ethernet communication module and for the connection form that uses the communication module.

(Example 1) For A951GOT (Example 2) For CC-Link connection

Since the Ethernet communication module cannot be mounted, the gateway functions cannot be used.

Since two different communication modules cannot be mounted to one GOT, the gateway functions cannot be used.

When accessing the gateway device from the GOT

The gateway devices cannot be assigned to the object functions.

Hence, the script function is used to monitor them.

The following explains the setting example for access to the gateway device from the GOT.

(1) When reading the gateway device value

Using the script function, read the gateway device value of the GOT (server function) to the internal device of the GOT (client function).

By monitoring the value read to the internal device using the numerical display function or like, the GOT (client function) can monitor the same value as the gateway device value of the GOT

(server function).

EG0 value is read to GD100 by script function.

(devices of the PLC 1)).

When values are written to the PLC 1), the EG devices of the GOT 1) (internal devices (GB100,

GB101) of the GOT 1)) turn ON. (Check completion of write using the lamp display function or like.)

The GOT 1) monitors the devices of the PLC 1) to check the production conditions of the PLC 2) and

PLC 3).

5.5 Precautions

This section provides the precautions for using the server and client functions.

Precautions for assigning the devices in the gateway setting

(1) The gateway devices are set as at least two points, and set on a two point basis thereafter.

(2) When a bit device is assigned, 32 points are set, starting from the set device.

(3) When a device was not assigned, the unassigned area (empty area) is on a word basis.

(4) The network number and PLC station number must be set to assign the MELSEC-A/QnA/Q series PLC CPU devices.

(5) The CPU number must be set to assign the CPU of the multiple PLC system.

(6) If station No. is changed while monitoring the gateway device to which PLC CPU device has been assigned,the monitored device is irrelevant to the station No. change.

Example) When station No. is changed on the GOT (server)

Use the script function to read EGO to the GOT internal device.

If station No. is changed on the GOT (server), the station No. change is irrelevant to the

GOT (client) that monitors D100 assigned to the gateway device.

As D100 has not been assigned to the gateway device on the GOT (server), station No. change is executed.

5 - 18 5 - 18

Precautions for setting the script function

(1) When setting the script function, do not set the trigger type to [Ordinary] or [Sampling, within 2 seconds].

Doing so may affect the other monitor operations.

(2) The script function cannot be used to monitor the gateway devices of the GOT itself.

When monitoring the PLC devices assigned to the gateway devices, monitor the PLC devices directly.

Precautions for using GT Simulator for debugging

(1) GT Simulator cannot debug the gateway functions.

An error will occur if the gateway device is monitored or data is written to the gateway device.

Precautions for monitoring

(1) If the GOT monitors devices by transient communication via the network, the monitor speed will decrease.

To increase the monitor speed, use link devices.

(2) If the gateway device of the GOT of the server function is monitored in a status where the server and client functions cannot be used , an error occurs and the script stops.

While power is off, when the ROM_BIOS version of the GOT is incompatible, or when the memory board is not fitted, for example.

(3) The gateway device, to which the PLC device has not been assigned, is monitored as 0 (OFF for bit).

When write is executed, the written value is invalid.

(4) If the screen save of the GOT is canceled (by a screen touch or the human sensor) during execution of the script that uses the gateway devices, it may take some time to cancel.

When the execution of automatic screen save has been specified, it may take more time than the specified.

(For example, when the script processing time is 2 seconds, the screen save is canceled in a maximum of 2 seconds after the screen is touched.)

5 - 19 5 - 19

5.6 For Efficient Use

This section explains the points for efficient use of the server and client functions.

Script function setting

When the gateway devices are used directly to execute a program, the number of times to access the other GOT increases, slowing the processing.

By performing batch read from the GOT internal devices and performing batch write after execution of the processing as shown in the following (1), the number of access times can be decreased, improving the processing speed.

(1) When performing batch read from GOT internal devices (GD) and performing batch write after processing

Access to the other station GOT occurs twice (1), 3)).

When one time of access requires 50ms, the necessary processing time is about 100ms.

[w:D205]=[w:GD107];

[w:D206]=[w:GD108];

[w:GD109]=5433;

3) bmov([w:GD100], [1-2:w:EG0],10);

(2) When using gateway devices directly

Access to the other station GOT occurs 10 times (1) to 10)).

When one time of access requires 50ms, the necessary processing time is about 500ms.

9) [w:D206]=[1-2:w:EG8];

10) [1-2:w:EG9]=5433;

Point

About the written values

In the above (1), the gateway devices are batch-accessed when the script execution condition is established. Therefore, the gateway device values available when the condition is established can be processed as the written values.

In the above (2), the gateway devices are accessed one by one after the script execution condition is established. Therefore, the written values may differ from the gateway device values available when the condition is established.

5 - 20 5 - 20

Gateway device setting

When assigning the PLC devices to the gateway devices, set the same type of devices of the same

PLC together where possible.

By setting the same devices of the same PLC together as in the following (1), the number of access times can be reduced, improving the processing speed.

(1) Devices of host, other station and other PLC are set together

When the GOT of the client function accesses the host devices of the GOT of the server function, access can be made with the program that reads 50 points starting from EG0 (1)).

1) bmov([W:GD100], [1-2:w:EG0],50);

(2) Devices of host, other station and other PLC are set not together

When the GOT of the client function accesses the host devices of the GOT of the server function, access requires the program that reads 40 points starting from EG0 (1)) and the program that reads 10 points starting from EG130 (2)).

1) bmov([W:GD100], [1-2:w:EG0], 40);

2) bmov([w:GD140], [1-2:w:EG130], 10);

To further increase efficiency

By reserving together in advance the PLC devices to be used for the server and client functions in the system design stage as shown in the following (a), the number of times for the GOT of the server function to access the PLC can be decreased, improving the processing speed.

(a) When PLC devices are assigned together

When 100 points of devices are accessed, access to the PLC occurs only once.

(b) When PLC devices are not assigned together

When 100 points of devices are accessed, access to the PLC must be made five times.

5 - 21 5 - 21

Performance of server and client functions (reference values)

The following table indicates the performance of the server and client functions (reference values) when and on the previous pages are used.

The reference values of the performance assume the following conditions.

• System consists of one GOT of server function and one GOT of client function

• GOT of server function : Numerical input setting of 64 points

• GOT of client function : Numerical input setting of 64 points

• Number of assigned device points : Word devices of 10 points

6 - 4 6 - 4

6.3.2 File specifying method

There are two file specifying methods: one is to specify one file directly and the other is to specify multiple files that meet the condition.

Specifying the file name to read

Specify the file name, period and extension of the file to be specified.

File name + . + Extension

Represents the file type.

Separates the file name and extension.

The file name to be read.

The FTP server function mainly uses files having the following extensions. csv bmp jpg

Extension Application on GOT

Recipe file (recipe function), alarm history file (alarm history display function)

Monitor screen image (hardcopy function)

Specifying the files that meet the condition (wild card)

When specifying multiple files, you can use " " or "?" as a wild card.

(Example)

When specifying only JPEG files.......................................................

.jpg

When specifying the CSV files that begin with Main ......................... Main .csv

When specifying the files whose extensions begin with b.................

.b??

Point

(1) Precautions for specifying the file name

For the FTP server function, do not put a space into a file name or extension.

The file that has a space cannot be read or written as a correct file name.

(2) About data in PC card

The PC card of the GOT contains the files that can cause the operation fault of the GOT if they are deleted.

To prevent the operation fault of the GOT, do not access the folders, which store the above files, from the FTP client.

<Folder structure in the PC card>

6.3.3 Checking the line connection condition

The connection condition of the line between the GOT and FTP client is stored into the GOT special register GS200.b2 (bit position: 2).

By referring to this bit on the GOT, you can check whether the line is connecting or not.

Device Name ON OFF

Refer to the following manual for details of the GOT special registers.


Example of using GS200.b2

(1) Using the above device with the lamp display function, you can create a line condition confirmation lamp.

GS200.b2 : OFF GS200.b2 : ON

Line Connecting

(2) By setting the above device to the operation condition as a trigger using the touch key function or numerical input function, you can restrict operation (input) while the line is connecting.

GS200.b2 : OFF GS200.b2 : ON

Manufacturing line

A

B

C

Manufacturing line

Operation is

A is connecting.

C

Using the touch key function or numerical input function, make setting to enable input only when the device (GS200.b2) is OFF.

6 - 6 6 - 6

6.3.4 Line cutoff

There are two line cutoff methods: automatic cutoff and manual cutoff.

Automatic cutoff

The GOT cuts off the line automatically if no command is entered from the FTP client within the time set to the watching timer of command input in the FTP server setting.

The watching timer of command input is always set.

Refer to the following for the setting of the watching timer of command input.


Manual cutoff (Forcibly cutting off the line)

Using the GOT special register GS400.b2 (bit position: 2), you can cut off the line forcibly.

When you want to cut off the line, turn "ON" GS400.b2 (bit position: 2).



Point

Precautions for use of GS400.b2

After confirming that the line has been cut off, always turn "OFF" GS400.b2.

Remark

About line cutoff

Since the GOT cannot detect the fault status of the FTP client, it does not cut off the line immediately if the FTP client could not exited properly (e.g. the personal computer was powered off while the line is connecting).

However, as the watching timer of command input has been set, the line is cut off automatically in the predetermined period of time.

6.5 Precautions

The following are the precautions for using the FTP server function.

Precautions for system design using the FTP server function

(1) When writing a recipe file from the FTP client to the GOT, set the format of the recipe file as set for the recipe function of the GOT.

When writing a recipe file from a remote location, confirm the operation with the field site personnel before executing write.

(2) Before using the FTP client tool, refer to the manual of the FTP client tool, confirm its functions and operation methods, and make tests before starting operation.

Depending on the FTP client tool used, the GOT (FTP server) may not support some operations.

Also, depending on the FTP client tool used, the FTP server function may not be usable since the GOT cannot support the extended command (quote) and issue the GOT-dedicated command.

(3) If a number of files are read at once under one command (e.g. get or put is executed by specifying a wild card), processing may be delayed by network congestion. If processing is slow, issue commands separately to perform the processing separately.

Precautions for file read

(1) The GOT cuts off the line if no command is input from the FTP client for longer than the time set to the watching timer of command input.

(2) The line is cut off if any of the GOT IP address, router address and subnet mask is changed while the line of the GOT and FTP client is connecting.

(3) The line is kept connected if the GOT is put offline (e.g. the monitor screen data is downloaded) while the line of the GOT and FTP client is connecting.

(4) When you want to change (rewrite) the contents of the recipe file, make the recipe inactive.

If the recipe file in the PC card is deleted during recipe processing, the function will not operate properly.

If the recipe file is deleted other than during recipe processing, an error (system alarm: recipe file error) will occur in the next recipe operation.

(

Section 6.3.3 Checking the line connection condition)

(5) Do not delete the printer printout temporary file.

If the printer printout temporary file is deleted, the function will not operate properly.

(6) If the FTP client has become faulty (personal computer), wait until the time set to the watching timer of command input elapses or turn ON the forced logout signal "GS400.b2" to cut off the line, and log in again.

The line connecting condition can be checked using GS200.b2 (bit position: 2).

(7) Do not power off the GOT while access is being made from the FTP client to the file in the PC card of the GOT.

Doing so may damage the data in the PC card.

6 - 12 6 - 12

(8) If you reset the GOT or switch power off while the line of the GOT and FTP client is connecting, the operation of the FTP client depends on the specifications of the FTP client tool used.

Use the FTP client tool that supports the detection of an FTP server fault or that can be exited properly.

(9) Access to a file cannot be made if the memory card access switch of the GOT is OFF.

(10) Write processing (put) cannot be performed if the write protect switch of the GOT is ON.

(11) The GOT does not use any file whose file name is 8 or more characters long.

Hence, if the PC card contains a file whose file name is 9 or more characters long, it cannot be accessed from the FTP client.

Set the file name of a file to be accessed to within 8 characters (except a period and extension).

(12) Depending on the used FTP client tool, the time stamp may differ from that of the file in the PC card of the GOT.

If the time stamp differs, check the setting of the FTP client tool.

Precautions for FTP login

(1) If you have forgotten the password for FTP login, connection to the GOT cannot be made. You can confirm the set password on GT Designer2.

(2) You cannot log in to the GOT from multiple FTP clients simultaneously.
