    F940GOT-SWD-E/LWD-E Extension Module This section describes handling of the extension module interface provided on the rear face of the GOT. Data transfer adaptor The data transfer adaptor F9GT-40UMB is used to store the user screen data stored in the EPROM for user screen data FX-EPROM-4M to the flush memory in the GOT. (The user screen data can be written to the EPROM using the screen creation software.) This adaptor is useful when a same screen is transferred to two or more GOT units.

    F940GOT-SWD-E/LWD-E Replacement of battery When the battery voltage drops, the control devices for system information set by the screen cre- ation software becomes ON. The control devices are interlocking with auxiliary relays in the PLC. It is recommended to attach a lamp using the output of the PLC so that the ON/OFF status of the 7th bit can be monitored from the outside.
  • Page 92 F940GOT-SWD-E/LWD-E The alarm history and the sampling data are held for approximately 1 month after the con- trol device for battery voltage drop becomes ON. After 1 month, these data cannot be held. It is recommended to replace the battery soon. * The battery backs up the alarm history, the sampling data and the current time.
