9.2.2 Cable Diagram

When connecting the GP (Remote Unit) to the PLC (Master Unit), use twisted
pair cable and wire the connectors as follows:

• Be sure to attach termination resistors to each end of a linked

system, between DA-DB. A Terminating Resistor is already
attached to the PLC’s CC-Link unit.
• The GP becomes the remote device node.
• The node order and the actual unit connection order are not
related.

„Sending Tag Codes to the Master Node

This feature is for sending Tag Code data from the GP’s System Area to the
Master Node, via the GP’s touch panel. When a GP touch or other type of tag is
used to perform an absolute write to the GP’s System Data Area 13 (decimal),
the RX(m+n)5 (Touch ON Complete Flag) turns ON. When this bit turns
ON,the RX(m+n)7(Tag Code Read Request Flag) also turns ON.
When the Master Node is performing continuous read requests on the GP’s
System Data Area 13, prior to a Read being completed, the GP will turn
RX(m+n)5 OFF. This, in turn, will cause the RX(m+n)7 bit to turn OFF. This
method is used to send numeric data from the GP’s touch panel (using the 8 bit
interrupt codes shown below) tothe Master Node.
