Maintenance/Troubleshooting 1-21
Problems with PC operation
Cause
The GP and the PC might be connected without a hub using a straight cable. Cross
cables cannot be used when employing the one-to-one connection, depending on PCs or
network cards.
Solution
Provide a hub between the GP and a PC when using a straight cable. Make sure that the
GP and PC are connected with a straight cable via hub not with a cross cable in order to
avoid incompatibility between the GP and PC.
• Distinguishing between a straight cable and cross cable
Compare the connectors at the both ends of the cable. When the color-coded signal
cables are arranged in the same orders from the left in the connectors, it is a straight
cable. When they are arranged differently, it is a cross cable. The color-coded of the
signal cables depend on the cable is used. The following pictures are examples.
The color-coded signal cables are arranged in The color-coded signal cables are not arranged
the same orders from the left of them, in the same orders from left of them,
“White-Yellow-White-Blue-White-Green-White”, “Black-Orange-Blue-White-Green-Black”,

Maintenance/Troubleshooting 1-22
Problems with PC operation
Can you receive the IP address of the Display by executing the PING com-
mand at the command prompt?
Cause
If you cannot receive the IP address, the GP may not be on the network because the
Ethernet cable is not connected or the GP does not recognize the connection at the Ether-
net cable connecting port.
Solution
• Execute the PING command at the command prompt.
(1) Click the Start button, select [Programs], [Accessories], and [Command Prompt].
(2) When [Command Prompt] is selected from [Accessories], the following screen is displayed.
(3) Type “ping 192.168.0.1 (IP address of GP)” after “C:\Documents and Settings\(Your com-
puter name)” is displayed on the screen and press the Enter key.
(4) The result of the command execution is displayed. When a reply from the specified IP
address of the GP is received, check if the port number of the GP is set to 8000. If the IP
address cannot be received, replace the cable or hub.

Problems with PC operation
When the following messages are displayed (The messages displayed depend
on the connection status), ask the network administrator about the settings.
Cause
When Microsoft Windows® XP Service Pack 2 is used and the Transfer Tool starts, a
message appears to show that the operation is blocked by the Windows® firewall feature.
Solution
You can continue the transfer process by canceling the blocking. However, if you trans-
fer data to two or more GP units, you need to select [PASV] for [Communication Port
Settings] in the [Transfer Settings] dialog box, or disable the firewall feature.
Cause
For a PC that is using 2 or more LAN cards, the desired GP may not be acquired even if
you automatically acquire the IP addresses. This happens because the OS searches the
GP connected to the LAN card that was previously found.
Solution
Click [Add] on the [Select Main Unit] dialog box and manually set the IP address of the
GP you wish to transfer to.

Maintenance/Troubleshooting 1-74
Problems with communication with connected devices
Cause
When the GP tries to read/write the address data of many connected devices simulta-
neously, the traffic increases and the communication requires more time. This may result
in the slow response of the Display switches or a slow speed when updating the value in
the Data Display.
The GP communicates to/from the addresses used on the currently displayed screen. The
communication is done on all screens if the address is used by the system data area,
alarm, sampling, global D-script, global window, or logic program.
As a result, when the functions above are set to many addresses, the communication may
take a longer time.
Solution
(1) Reduce the number of parts placed on each screen to the extent possible. Set the parts
which are not used all the time so that they are called only when they are required on a win-
dow.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “12.3 Displaying Windows” (page 12-8)
(2) Reduce the number of addresses used by the alarm, sampling, global D-script, or global
window to the extent possible.
(3) Use consecutive addresses for the parts which are placed on the same screen to the extent
possible.
(4) Use the addresses of [LS Area] or [USR Area] in the GP for the data which is not necessar-
ily stored in the connected device.
(5) Reduce the number of addresses of the connected device to which logic programs are set.
Is the communication speed between the Display and connected device set
to low?
Cause
The communication becomes slow when the communication speed between the GP and
