When you click Add button or Edit button in dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> is shown.

2. Write settings

You can change value of specified device of XGT PLC by using the write command.

Digital Write

Digital write setting parameters are as follows :

1) Port : Connected Port no. (It is not COM number)

2) Station : Don't care.

3) Address : Decimal output address as bit unit of device to output.

4) Extra1 : Input the PLC device such as P, M, K, F, T, C, U, Z, S, L, N, D, R, ZR. (Refer to <Table 1>)

5) Extra2 : Don't care.

Write example 1)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0000  EXTRA1 : MX  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the digital value, you can control(ON/OFF) value for MX0000 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 2)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0052  EXTRA1 : MX  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the digital value, you can control(ON/OFF) value for MX0052 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 3)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0125  EXTRA1 : DX  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the digital value, you can control(ON/OFF) value for DX0125 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Analog Write

Analog write setting parameters are as follows :

1) Port : Connected Port no. (It is not COM number)

2) Station : Don't care.

3) Address : Decimal output address for Word(W, etc)/DoubleWord(D)/Float(F, F2) unit of device to output.

4) Extra1 : Input the device type such as P, M, K, F, T, C, U, Z, S, L, N, D, R, ZR. (Refer to <Table 1>)

            Input the data unit(Default = W) such as W(Word), D(DoubleWord), F(Float Lo Hi), F2(Float Hi Lo), to beside device type.            

5) Extra2 : Don't care.

Write example 1)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0000  EXTRA1 : M  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the Word value for MW0000 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 2)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0012  EXTRA1 : MW  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the Word value for MW0012 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 3)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0037  EXTRA1 : DW  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the Word value for DW0037 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 4)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0063  EXTRA1 : DD  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the DoubleWord value for DD0063 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 5)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0072  EXTRA1 : DF  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the DoubleWord value as Float Lo, Hi order(IEEE form) for DD0063 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.

Write example 6)

PORT : 0   STATION : 0   ADDRESS : 0005  EXTRA1 : DF2  EXTRA2 : 0

If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change the DoubleWord value as Float Hi, Lo order(IEEE form) for DD0002 address of XGT PLC which connected to no.0 port.
