20. FA TRANSPARENT FUNCTION
20.7 Precautions
Restrictions on GX Works2 during backup/
restore execution
(1) When reading/writing data from/to a PLC, monitoring a
PLC, and others are executed with GX Works2 with the
FA transparent function during the backup/restore
execution with the GOT, the backup/restore is stopped.
Check that reading/writing data from/to the PLC,
monitoring the PLC, and others are not executed with
GX Works2 with the FA transparent function. Execute
the backup/restore with the GOT again.
(2) When the backup/restore is executed with the GOT
while reading/writing data from/to a PLC, monitoring a
PLC, and others are executed with GX Works2 with the
FA transparent function, errors occur on GX Works2.
The backup/restore with the GOT is correctly executed.
20.7.3 When using MT Developer,
MT Works2
When exiting MT Developer, MT Works2
For 45 seconds after MT Developer, MT Works2 has
been exited, the GOT continues monitoring at the same
speed as when the FA transparent function is working.
When PLC write is failed while using the FA
transparent function
The execution of PLC write using the FA transparent
function may be failed due to some reasons such as
cable disconnection.
When this occurs, re-execute the PLC write from the
same personal computer, or reset the motion controller
CPU.
When a cable disconnection has occurred
When the cable between the GOT and the motion CPU
is disconnected, it takes time until a timeout error
occurs in MT Developer.
