Add GOT

The system configuration when using Mitsubishi Electric Point Manager allows for configuring a GOT (Graphic Operation Terminal) device within the Workbench.

GOT devices can only be edited when disabled. When the device is activated, settings cannot be changed until the device is disabled. See How to Activate a Mitsubishi FA Device.

To Add a GOT device

  1. In the Workbench, expand your project in the Project Explorer, and then expand the Data Connectivity node. Right-click the Mitsubishi Electric FA node, and click on Add GOT as shown below.

    -OR-

    Select the Mitsubishi Electric FA node in the Project Explorer in the Workbench and then click on the Add GOT button shown below in the Edit section of the Home ribbon.

  2. This opens the GOT Properties shown below in the central section of the Workbench. Enter a name for the GOT in the Name text entry field.

    Common Settings

    • (Click to test the communication) - Click this link to connect to the actual device for testing.

    • Description - Enter a description for the GOT in the text entry field.

    • GOT Type - Use the drop-down list to select between GOT2000 and GT SoftGOT2000.

    • Timeout - Enter a timeout, in seconds, in the text entry field (or use the "up/down" arrow buttons) to cease communications attempts upon error.

    • Retry - Enter the number of communication retries in the text entry field (or use the "up/down" arrow buttons).

    PC I/F Settings

    • IP Address - Enter the IP address for the PC I/F (interface function) in the text entry field.

    GOT I/F Settings

    • IP Address - Enter the IP address for the GOT I/F (interface function) in the text entry field. Note that this field might be pre-filled.

    • Port - Enter a port number in the text entry field (or use the "up/down" arrow buttons).

      If the GOT type is SoftGOT2000, the Port is displayed.

    Other Settings

    • Merge Gap - Enter the value that indicates the number of non-contiguous registers that can be read in a single communication between Mitsubishi Electric FA and GOT devices. This value should be larger than the number of registers between the tags being monitored. If the value is too small, multiple communications will be required to read the data. This setting is for adjustment purposes, and is recommended to be left at its default value of 400.

    Please refer to Merge Gap Details for details.
