6.2 Basic Communication Area to PLC and Bit Device
Functions (GT01)
Bit device functions
In order for communication to be carried out between the GT01 and PLC, an internal device area like
that shown below is provided in the PLC. This basic communication area contains two types of devices:
word devices, which are used to handle screen numbers and other data, and bit devices, which are used
for bit information. The various bits of the bit devices are turned on and off from the PLC, and can be
used to control various GT01 operations.

This turns on the buzzer.
At the rise when the bit is turned on, the screen specifed by the PLC is
forcibly displayed. (This is executed only when at the rise of the bit.)
When the bit is turned on, the backlight flashing/backlight color control
becomes effective.
0: Lighted (normal), 1: Flashing
00: Off, 01: Green, 10: Red, 11: Orange
This is 1 while data is being input, and 0 when data input has been
completed.
Explanation of this function:
DT0 to DT2 and WR0 to WR2 are set as the default values for the basic communication area.
