1.1 GTWIN Ver. 3 Overview
Improved file manager function
The screen manager and system setting menu have been integrated into the file manager. On
the Screen Manager tab, the thumbnail display can be used to select a screen according to its
screen image, which reduces the time required to search for screens. The System Setting tab
has been changed to enable direct access to the setup dialog boxes of each function.
Substantial parts library
The addition of sub libraries and a category search function make it easy to search for parts.
You can also register classifications as user libraries.
Substantial part editing functions
Switch, lamp, and message parts have been integrated, and placed parts can be changed in a
reciprocal manner. This enables flexible design changes.
Added device search function
It is now possible to easily search for the basic communication area, switches and lamp parts,
and the device numbers and usage locations of PLCs set to functions. This leads to major
reductions in the time required to check and change I/O number and memory area
assignments.
Transfer function
A transfer difference function has been added. Because GTWIN automatically extracts and
transfers only the data that has been changed when a screen or setting change occurs, the
transfer time can be greatly reduced. You can also check the file properties (clock/calendar
information) during transferring.
Context menu
A context menu that is displayed when you right-click in the software has been added. This
simplifies operations, which can lead to reductions in operation time. This menu is also useful
as a guide when you are not sure what to do.
