I attatched 2 screenshots, the sampleservo.jpg being the MEAU sample program and the myservo.jpg being my own and where I'm confused at. Thanks

I'll be honest, the sample program on the MEAU site has me more confused than I was before. In their example they are looking at various I/O, and for this example I'll go with the ZSP signal. They have a Word Comment Display, and have the device listed as a "GD1800". I don't understand that because I was thinking I need it to be "1-0 DO" for a Melservo on Channel 1. Then they have it set for a range of "GD2512==0" or 1 respectively. It's the syntax that's killing me here. How are they seeing DO when using GD1800? And how did they come up with GD2512? I pulled up the manuals you suggested and am not seeing how they came to see DO from a GD. I even looked in the manual for a J3-A which is what they have the GOT set for but wasn't seeing any link. Am I way off base here or is their sample program not right?

I knew I'd forget some important detail... I'm using GT Designer 3 to program the GOT screen.

Hello all, I'm having a bit of an issue and am hoping I could get some guidance. First, here is my setup: I have a MR-J3-350T4 servo hooked to a GT1665M-VTBA panel via the CN3 port of the servo (RS485). Basically what I'm using the panel for is monitoring and editing position (point table) data but would like to add 1 small feature and am struggling. What I would like is to add a lamp on one of the screens to show if the servo has been homed. Currently we have an output from the servo wired to an input card of a AB 5/04 PLC but I really would love to display this on the panel. The problem I'm runing into is that I am quite unfamiliar with the GOT panels as most of my experience has been with AB and AD type panels, and to further complicate it I was only given about an hour how-to from the previous engineer who is no longer employed with us on programming these things. I've read the GX Designer 3 manuals (both the Fundamentals GT_Designer3_SH(NA)-080866ENG.pdf and the Functions GT_Designer3_SH(NA)-080867ENG.pdf) but still am not seeing exactly how to do this. When I add a lamp, it asks bit or word. I chose word, and then for device I chose DO3. How exactly do I go from there to looking for the ZP output of the servo? My device is showing a 0-1 DO3 but how do I get the lamp to turn on and off for the ZP pin? If you could just point me towards a more appropriate manual or show me where I missed it in the aforementioned manuals I'd be very grateful. Thanks Duranthas

Awesome info with the scan times and all. Can I ask where you found that? I haven't seen anything that specific in any of the documentation I've read.
