Posted 3 Jun 2010 Does anyone know if the older A970GOT-TBA HMI is capable of a something similar to a "Transparent" operation mode to allow an attached P.C. to monitor and/or edit the attached PLC program. The HMI is fitted with a A9GT-RS4 RS-422 interface unit connected to an FX2N-64-ES/UL. I have seen that you can install a software option via GT-Works2 Version 2, for a "Ladder Monitor Function".

Posted 4 Jun 2010 Ladder monitor has nothing to do withe transparent mode. Ladder monitor is a tool to monitor ladder logic ON the GOT, not through it to a PC. You can use GX Developer in transparent mode with your setup, connect the RS232 port to the PC with the AC30R2-9SS or FX-232CAB-1 cable. Then make the right settings in transfer setup on the GX Developer side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
