-
You cannot start more than one WinGP.
-
If the number of parts on one screen exceeds 1280
in IPC, a warning message appears. Reduce the number of parts
placed on the screen. You can place and transfer parts even when
this message is displayed.
-
If the number of addresses on one screen exceeds
3000 in IPC, a warning message appears. Reduce the number of
addresses placed on the screen. You can place and transfer the
addresses even when this message is displayed.
-
If many parts are placed in IPC, a warning
appears when you save. This is because the parts and addresses
limits change when converted into another series in [Change Display
Unit].
-
If the specified number of alarm history and word
monitoring in the new model exceeds the limit of the
post-conversion model, an error appears when you change the display
unit, however, you can change the model.
-
You can set the data size up to 8 blocks.
-
For blocks 1 to 8, you can register bit/word
monitoring up to a total of 10000.
-
If the total capacity of backup memory (SRAM)
used in the GP-Pro EX settings exceeds 5 MB, a warning appears at
the time of error checking and sampling and alarm features do not
operate properly. You can use up to 5 MB data to save and transfer
the project files.
-
If you turn OFF the IPC without shutting down the
OS, the backup file for exiting WinGP cannot be saved and the
record will be from the last save.
In an IPC with battery backup features, a standby mode (resume)
signal is sent when the power is OFF. Upon receiving the signal,
WinGP saves the backup file.
-
The touch buzzer sound setting is a feature used
to specify a unique buzzer used by PC runtime. The setting differs
from that of the IPC touch panel unit. If you enable both the
buzzer of the IPC touch panel unit and that of PC runtime, a buzzer
will sound twice when you touch the PC runtime screen. If you
enable the IPC touch panel buzzer, disable the PC runtime
buzzer.
-
If you disabled [Script Settings]-[Comm.]-[Flow
Control] in the system settings, the status [EXIT_SIO_STAT] cannot
detect sending errors in [SIO Port Operation].
-
If you select [Prevent Multiple Instances] in
[Start Application] for special switch, trigger actions, and
scripts, multiple instances occur when [Window Title] is not
input.
-
For the [Window Title] you wish to prevent
multiple instances, enter the exact window title in the [Start
Application] for the special actions of special switch, trigger
actions, and scripts.
-
You can transfer project files to the GP if it
has [Start Application] and [Exit WinGP] settings for the special
actions of special switch, trigger actions, and scripts on models
other than IPC, but the file will not run on GP.
-
Do not connect the USB license key before WinGP
installation is complete.
If you connect the USB license key to the PC before installing
WinGP, the operating system automatically starts the wizard which
you need to cancel. If you continue with the wizard, then exit the
wizard without finding a device driver, it will be registered to
the device manager as an unauthorized device. In this scenario, the
license cannot be authenticated. Please delete unauthorized devices
from the device manager, and restart. Then, install WinGP.
-
When a communication error occurs with a
device/PLC, and in the [System Settings] workspace, in the
[Device/PLC] page, either the Port is set to [Ethernet (UDP)] or
[Ethernet (UDP)] is not set to [Automatic], it may take
approximately 4 minutes to recover.
-
When power is off for the IPC or PC/AT compatible
hard disk, a time out error (RHxx068 or RHxx069) may occur in
communication with a device/PLC.
-
Compared to using the GP3000 Series, it may take
longer to communicate with the device/PLC. Therefore, the timing
for data updates may be delayed using the device monitor function
and the data delivery function with Pro-Server EX. You can
alleviate this by increasing the communication [Speed] for the
[Device/PLC].
-
While operating WinGP, even if you use "Safely
Remove Hardware", you cannot remove the USB transfer cable
(CA3-USBCB-01).
-
When applications other than WinGP are running on
IPC or PC/AT compatible units, in the [System Settings]
[Device/PLC] page, please enter a [Timeout] value larger than the
time required by the other applications. A timeout error or receive
data error could arise.
-
When you meet the following two conditions,
touching a [Previous Screen] switch or [Selector List] will return
two previous screens.
-
In the [System Settings] window's [Display
Unit], in the [Display] tab, [Standby Mode] is set to [Screen
Change]
-
The previous screen is the same as the [Change-
to Screen in Standby Mode]
-
When there are no two previous screens, screen change will not
occur when you touch the [Previous Screen] switch or Selector
List.
