2.4.3 Using Direct Access and Memory Link at the Same Time

The display unit can reference the device/PLC data. For usable addresses and device codes, refer to the "GP-Pro EX Device Connection Manual".

Select the device/PLC name (for example, "PLC1") that will communicate with the display unit, and input that address (for example, "D00000").
For example, an Input Address screen on a Word Switch.

To connect multiple devices/PLCs from the same series, in addition to connecting directly to the device/PLC you can set up virtual devices/PLCs by defining Indirect Devices. For more details, please refer to the following.

The text data storage order is fixed to L/H, no matter what the [Text Data Mode] property is set to in the [System Settings] window's [Device/PLC] page.

The User Area for exclusive communication by Memory Link Method. You cannot use the Direct Access Method to communicate.

Data stored in the display unit's internal devices is deleted when the display unit is turned off or enters offline mode, such as when transferring. To retain internal device data, you can copy the User Area's data to backup memory (SRAM).
