Has “Multilingual Manager” been activated when “RAKURAKU

CHUGOKUGO” (V2, V2 + translation, V3) or “RAKURAKU KANKOKUGO”
(V1.5, V2) is installed on the PC?
Multilingual Manager
Cause
Multilingual Manager is an application program supplied with the translation software
“RAKURAKU CHUGOKUGO” and “RAKURAKU KANKOKUGO” provided from
OMRON SOFTWARE CO., Ltd. This program is installed during the installation of
“RAKURAKU CHUGOKUGO” or “RAKURAKU KANKOKUGO”, and registered as
a startup program by default. When the icon shown above is displayed in the Task Tray,
Multilingual Manager has been activated. When Multilingual Manager has been acti-
vated, the GP-Pro EX installer waits for a response, and the installation halts and appears
to stop.
Solution
Download the software patch for Multilingual Manager from the Japanese OMRON
SOFTWARE website. Execute the patch and then reinstall GP-Pro EX.
If you start installing GP-Pro EX when Multilingual Manager is activated, stop the
installation using the following procedure and then download the software patch men-
tioned above.
• When the installer halts while showing the installation in progress dialog box or com-
pletion dialog box
(1) Right-click an empty spot in the Taskbar. Click [Task Manager] in the displayed context
menu.

Installer remains running. If an attempt is made to start the installer again, an internal
error occurs, leading to abnormal completion with the following dialog.
(1) Exit the installer, restart the PC, and then install the software again.
• Before starting install-related operations (installation, repair installation,

uninstallation), be sure to exit from all application programs including
Multilingual Manager.
1.2.2 GP-Pro EX does not start or terminates

abnormally
Is an error message displayed?
At startup of Editor
Cause
If any of the following error messages appears, two or more GP-Pro EXs or different
versions of GP-Pro EX cannot be started.
Solution
The number of GP-Pro EXs that can run at the same time is two. Different versions of
GP-Pro EX do not run at the same time. Start the same version of GP-Pro EX as the one
currently running.
At startup of a project file
Cause
If an error message, as shown below, appears when opening a project file, the project file
you tried to open may have been created using the later version of GP-Pro EX. A project
file created by the later version of GP-Pro EX does not open by the lower version of
GP-Pro EX.
Solution
Use the same version of GP-Pro EX as or later version of GP-Pro EX than the one that
created the project file.
• For details about the error messages, refer to the following page.
) “1.6.2 Errors displayed during screen creation Startup” (page 1-110)
Is it specific project file that you cannot start?
Cause
If you cannot open the specific project file but other project files, then that file may have
a problem.
Solution
The project file that didn’t open properly may have a problem. Copy the data and trans-
fer the copied project file again. For the copy procedure, see the following section.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “5.8 Copying a Screen from Another Project” (page
5-55)
• The contents which can be copied with [Copy from another Project] are the
contents of the base screen and window screen only. Since other contents
cannot be copied, you need to set them again.
Is the GP-Pro EX terminates abnormally when you open the specific file?
Cause
If you cannot operate the specific screen data but other screen data, then that screen data
may have a problem.
Solution
The screen data may have a problem. Create a new screen data.
Does your PC meet the operating environment of GP-Pro EX?

them as directed.
• Depending on Windows® XP’s security level, the following [Hardware

Installation] dialog box will be displayed while installing the USB drivers.
Click [Continue Anyway] and the driver installation for CA3-USBCB-01
will begin. When the installation finishes, click [Complete].
Password entry is required during operation. (Have you set a password?)
Cause
A password has been set for the transfer operation.
Solution
• If you forget the transfer password
Even if you forget the transfer password, you cannot cancel the password setting. You
need to delete the password information.
Set the GP offline and initialize the memory.

) “2.15.1 Settings common to all Display models Initialize User Memory” (page
2-97)
• When you forget the reception password

When you forget the reception password, you cannot receive files.
Check if any backup files are saved in a location other than the GP.
Can you send a new project file?
Cause
If you can send a new project file to the GP, the data in the project file you tried to send
may have a problem.
Solution
Follow the procedure below to check if you can transfer a new project file.
(1) Create a new project file.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “5.2.2 Setup Procedure Creating/Saving” (page 5-15)
(2) If you can send a new project file, the data in the project file you tried to send may have a
problem. Copy the data for the file to a new project file and transfer it. For the copy proce-
dure, see the following section.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “5.8 Copying a Screen from Another Project” (page 5-
55)
• The contents which can be copied with [Copy from another Project] are the
contents of the base screen and window screen only. Since other contents
cannot be copied, you need to set them again.
Can you force a transfer by setting DIP switch 2 of the Display to ON?
Cause
The system of the GP may have a problem, causing the GP to freeze. If the project file
can be forced to transfer, there is not a problem with the GP.
Forcing transfer of project files

There are two methods to force the transfer of project files. For the procedure, see the
section below.
) “2.12.3 Forcing the transfer of project files” (page 2-67)
Can you transfer the file from a different PC?
Cause
If the file can be transferred from a different PC, the PC itself may have a problem.
Solution
• If the file can be transferred from a different PC
(1) The PC that you tried to transfer the project file from first, may have a problem. Uninstall the
USB cable’s drivers once and then reinstall it. Also uninstall GP-Pro EX once and then rein-
stall it.
• If the file cannot be transferred from a different PC
(1) The USB cable may have a problem. Transfer the project file using LAN or CF card.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “33.3 Transferring Project Files via Ethernet (LAN)”
(page 33-12)
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “33.7 Transferring Project Files Using a CF Card or USB
Storage” (page 33-37)
Transfer fails when an Ethernet cable is used.
Has the IP address been set for the Display on its offline screen?
Cause
To transfer project files with an Ethernet cable, you need to set the IP address for the GP.
Solution
Set the IP address for the GP.
) “2.4.1 Assigning an IP address to the Display” (page 2-26)
Has the IP address been set for the PC?
Cause
To transfer project files with an Ethernet cable, you need to set the IP address for the PC.
Solution
Set the IP address for the PC.
• Setting the IP address for the PC
(1) Click the Start button, select [Settings], and click [Network and Dial-up Connections].
(2) [Network and Dial-up Connections] opens. Right-click the [Local Area Connection] icon and
select [Properties] from the displayed context menu.
Continued
(3) When [Local Area Connection Properties] appears, select [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)] and
click the [Properties] button.
(4) Select [Use the following IP address] and specify the IP address and subnet mask (Exam-
ple: 192.168.0.100, 255.255.255.0). Click the [OK] button to complete the setting.
• For details about the IP address setting, ask your network

administrator.
• Checking whether the IP address is set properly for the PC

Execute the IPCONFIG command at the command prompt.
(1) Click the Start button, select [Programs], and click [Accessories].
Continued
(2) Select [Command Prompt] from [Accessories], and the following screen is displayed.
(3) Type “ipconfig” after “C:\Documents and Settings\(Your computer name)” is displayed on the
screen and press the Enter key.
(4) The result of the command execution is displayed. Check whether the displayed IP address
and subnet mask are the same as those set for the GP. If they are different, restart the com-
puter.
Is the Ethernet cable a straight type or a cross type?
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.
Straight cable Cross cable
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”,
“White-Yellow-White-Blue-White-Green-White” “Black-Green-White-Blue-Orange-Black”
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.

administrator.
(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.
Continued
(Screen when replies from the IP address of the GP are received)
(Screen when a reply from the IP address of the GP is not received)
When the following messages are displayed (The messages displayed depend
on the connection status), ask the network administrator about the settings.
Is the firewall feature activated?
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.
Are two or more LAN cards used?
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.
Is memory-resident software installed?
Cause
If any memory-resident software is installed, the transfer of project files may fail.
• “Memory-resident software” is an application program for which the icon is

displayed on the Taskbar and which is activated all the time.
Memory-resident
software icons
Solution
If any memory-resident software is installed, right-click its icon to show a context menu,
terminate the software, and then try transferring the file again.
Does the self-diagnosis of the Display regarding the Ethernet interface indi-
cate an OK result?
Cause
If there is a problem with the Ethernet connection port, the connection fails.
Solution
• Conduct the self-diagnosis of the GP to check the Ethernet interface. For the procedure
to enter offline mode, see the following section.
) “2.1.1 Entering OFFLINE Mode” (page 2-2)
1. Enter offline mode and touch

again.
When [NG] is displayed, the GP
may be faulty. Please contact
your local GP distributor.
) “1.11.2 Contact us!” (page
1-229)
Cause
A password has been set for the transfer operation.
Solution
• If you forget the transfer password
Even if you forget the transfer password, you cannot cancel the password setting. You
need to delete the password information.

2-97)
• When you forget the reception password

When you forget the reception password, you cannot receive files.
Check if any backup files are saved in a location other than the GP.
Transfer fails when the CF card or USB storage is used.

(Using the CF/USB memory loader tool)
Is an error code displayed?

Cause
When the CF card has not been inserted in the GP, or when the CF card hatch is open, an
error message is displayed and a project file cannot be downloaded. (The error message
is “RAAA 010 The CF card has not been inserted, or the CF card hatch is open.”)
When the USB storage is not properly connected, an error message is displayed saying:
RAAA013 USB storage location not found.
Solution
Check that the CF card has been inserted properly or that the CF card hatch is closed.
• If you still cannot download a project file after checking the above points, confirm that
you are using a CF card manufactured by Pro-face (sold separately).
If the USB storage has been connected, disconnect it once and connect it again.
Was the CF card or USB storage formatted in NTFS format?

Cause
If the CF card or USB storage is formatted in NTFS format using the PC, the GP cannot
recognize the CF card.
Solution
Format the CF card again in FAT32 or FAT format using the PC.
Is the memory loader tool created together with the data in the CF card or
USB storage?
Cause
When you cannot upload the project file from GP to PC using CF card or USB storage,
the memory loader tool may not be transferred to the CF card properly.
Solution
Select [Create Boot Data] from [Memory Loader]-[Transfer Tool] and create the mem-
ory loader tool. Confirm that the memory loader tool is saved in the CF card or USB
storage.
For the procedure to create the backup data, see the following section.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “33.7.2 Transfer Process Transferring Project
Files from GP to PC (or to Another GP)” (page 33-44)
Can you not start the memory loader?
Cause
You tried to use the memory loader created with GP-Pro EX Ver. 2.10 or earlier for a
project file from which the Japanese standard fonts have been removed.
Solution
You can remove the Japanese standard fonts only when you use GP-Pro EX Ver. 2.20 or
later with the GP-3200 series or ST-3000 series. If you removed the Japanese standard
fonts from a file, you need to use the memory loader created with GP-Pro EX Ver. 2.20
or later.
Is the backup data created in the CF card?

Cause
When you cannot download the project file from PC to GP using CF card, the backup
data may not be created in the CF card or USB storage.
Solution
Select [Create Backup File] from [Memory Loader]-[Transfer Tool] and create the backup
file. Confirm that all folders and files created for the backup data, saved in the CF card or
USB storage.
For the procedure to create the backup data, see the following section.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “33.7.2 Transfer Process Transferring Project
Files from PC to GP” (page 33-38)
Cause
A password has been set for the download operation.
Solution
• If you forget the download password
Even if you forget the download password, you cannot cancel the password setting.
You need to delete the password information.

2-97)
• When you forget the upload password

When you forget the upload password, you cannot upload files. Check if
any backup files are saved in a location other than the GP.
Transfer fails when a modem is used.

Cause
A modem can be used to transfer screen data only. It cannot be used to transfer system data.
The project files updated with the following contents cannot be transferred either.
• When the system setting is changed
• When the configuration or setting of the protocol is changed
• When the runtime system and/or protocol version are different between the source
and destination
• When the version of the editor which generated the project is different
• When the type of fonts which is registered is different between the source and destination
• When the type or the version of I/O Driver is different between the source and destination
Solution
Close the error message dialog box, reset the changes to the previous status, and transfer
the project file again or transfer the project file by using USB or LAN.
) “1.6.5 Errors displayed during transfer operation When data is transferred with
modem” (page 1-153)
Is the status of the GP one of the following?

The GP is in Initial Start Mode.
Cause

Is a proper modem used?

Inapplicable modems
The following types of modems cannot be used:
• A terminal adapter connected to the ISDN line cannot be used on the PC side (GP’s
receiving side uses an analog modem.)
• A modem which can be used only after connecting to a specific operation center such
as AIR-EDGE of Willcom, Inc. (former DDI Pocket, Inc.)
Applicable modems
The following types of modems can be used:
• Only a modem which uses RS-232C can be connected to the GP.
• A Windows®-supporting modem which can call the modem connected to the GP
• A modem which supports AT commands
• A modem which allows automatic reception on the GP side
• A modem which is capable of hardware-flow control
• A modem which can return strings with result commands
Is the modem connected to the Display properly?

1.3.4 An alarm sounds continuously

Cause
The transferred project file may have an error, or the communication with the connected
device may have a problem.
Solution
Check the error code. See the following sections for the description and handling method
of the error code.
Did the buzzer start sounding after you changed the screen data setting or
the ladder program of the connected device?
Cause
The bit which activates the buzzer may have turned on when the screen data setting or
the ladder program of the connected device was changed.
Solution
In order to isolate the problem, disconnect any cables which connect the GP and other
devices, turn off the GP once, and turn it on again. Then try the following solutions in
this order.
• The problem can be easily isolated by disconnecting the cables connecting

other devices. If, however, the GP is installed in an environment where
disconnecting the cables is difficult, you can try the following solutions
without disconnecting the cables.
• When the buzzer stops after the GP is turned OFF once and turned ON again
You can activate the buzzer of the GP by turning ON Bit 01 of the 14th word from the
system area start address.
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “26.3 Sounding the GP Buzzer from a Device/PLC”
(page 26-7)
From the connected device, check whether Bit 01 of the 14th word is turned ON. If the
bit is ON, you can stop the buzzer by turning OFF the bit.
If the range of the system data area overlaps with the range used by the ladder program
of the connected device, change the system area start address in offline mode. For the
procedure, see the following section.
) “2.15.1 Settings common to all Display models System Area Settings” (page 2-
84)

1.3.5 Lines (streaks) appear on the screen. The

screen turns white.
Does the phenomenon continue when you select [Check Display Pattern] in
offline mode?
Cause
If the position, thickness, and length of the lines remain the same on the screen for
[Check Display Pattern] of [Maintenance Menu] in offline mode, the GP may be faulty.
Solution
To determine whether the problem is in the GP or not, follow the procedure below to
check the lines (streaks) on the screen for [Check Display Pattern] in offline mode.
) “2.1.1 Entering OFFLINE Mode” (page 2-2)
1. Enter offline mode and touch [Mainte-

nance Menu] in the item changeover

) “1.11.2 Contact us!” (page 1-229)
To exit from [Check Display Pattern], touch anywhere on the screen to

return to the [Maintenance Menu] screen, and then touch [Exit].
Are cross-talk patterns displayed?
Cause
A color STN panel and a monochrome LCD panel may produce the following phenom-
ena due to the characteristics of liquid crystal panels:
• Screen flickering
• Uneven screen brightness
• Lines appear that do not exist originally, and as they flow, they extend the existing
lines (cross-talk).
Cross-talk

1.3.7 The screen flickers.

Is the screen redisplayed after the screen appears?
Cause
The address of [Switching Control Address] (language change function) may already be
in use.
Solution
Disable the language change function if it is not necessary. If the language change func-
tion is necessary, check if the set address is already is use.
• When the language change function is necessary

Select [Text Table Settings] from [Common Settings] of GP-Pro EX. Check if the set
address overlaps with the address of [Switching Control Address] in [Language
Change Settings].
• The default value of the start address of the system data area has the same
address as the default value of [Switching Control Address]. They may over-
lap. If so, change the address of either one of the two.
• When the language change function is not necessary

Select [Text Table Settings] from [Common Settings] of GP-Pro EX. Uncheck [Enable
Language Change Feature] in [Language Change Settings]. Transfer the project file to
the Display.
1.3.8 A screen prompting you to re-transfer

appears after you have transferred the file
Does the transfer screen appear again after you finish transfer and restart
the unit?
Cause
You transferred a project file created with the GP-3300 series of Rev. 4 or later to the
GP-3300 series Rev. 4 or earlier. The same symptoms may occur if you transferred a file
from a CF Card memory loader or USB storage memory loader.
Solution
When you create a new screen by selecting [GP-33∗∗Series] for [Display Unit] and
[Rev∗-4 Greater Than Or Equal To] for [Revision], the resulted project file cannot be
transferred to the GP-3300 series earlier than Rev. 4 because the file contains functions
which cannot be used with the model. Transfer a project file created by selecting [Rev∗-
4 Less Than ] for [Revision].

Is an error starting with RHAA036 to RHAA039 displayed?
Cause
Errors starting with RHAA036 to RHAA039 are displayed when an address outside of
the specified range is used.
Solution
The addresses of an unsupported connected device may be used by the parts on the
screen or scripts. These errors may occur on all screens if such unsupported addresses
are used by the parts or functions which generate communication on all screens, in par-
ticular (Example: System data area, alarm, sampling, global D-script, global window,
logic program).

Check if a switch or a D-script tries to write to a read-only device.
• For the range of the device addresses supported by GP-Pro EX and write-
only/read-only devices, see “Supported Devices” in the “GP-Pro EX Device/
PLC Connection Manual”.
1.4.3 Communication is slow

Is the traffic between the Display and connected device heavy?
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
connected device is set to low.
Solution
If the communication speed is set to low, change the setting to improve the speed accord-
ing to the procedure described in the following sections.
• To change the setting with the GP
) “2.3.1 Checking the communication settings for the connected device” (page 2-21)
• To change the setting with GP-Pro EX
) GP-Pro EX Reference Manual “5.17.6 [System Settings] Setting Guide [Periph-
eral List] Settings Guide” (page 5-178)
Continued
After the communication speed is changed, the project file must be transferred again.
You also need to change the communication speed of the connected devices accord-
ingly.
• The range of the available communication speed varies depending on the

connected device. For the communication speed of the connected device, see
Is the communication line affected by noises?
Cause
If the communication line is affected by noises, the communication appears to slow
down because it is interrupted frequently.
Solution
Monitor the value of the communication time and check the communication line to con-
firm whether the communication line is affected by noises.
1 Monitoring the value of the communication time (communication cycle time)

Monitor the value of the communication time (communication cycle time) stored in
the LS Area in the GP. The communication time (communication cycle time) is stored
in LS9400 of the LS Area in the unit of ms.
(1) Open the project file currently being used, and place the Data Display specifying LS9400 on
all screens.
• Since the value of LS9400 cannot be monitored from the

connected device, place the Data Display.
(2) Transfer the project file to the GP again.
(3) Monitor this value on the GP screen. If the value of LS9400 increases at specific occasions,
a communication error is occurring due to noises or other causes.
50 2000
LS9400 LS9400

• When two or more devices are connected to the GP, the reference time
required for the communication between the GP and connected devices
(communication cycle time) is stored in LS9400 to LS9527 in the LS Area in
the GP in the unit of ms.

LS9431 32nd PLC of Driver 1



• The GP3000 series allows the assignment of up to 4 drivers to one GP, and
one driver allows the connection of up to 32 devices, which may vary
depending on the type of the connected device.
Example: When drivers for Mitsubishi and Omron are assigned to the GP, and
one Mitsubishi device and one Omron device are connected, you
need to monitor LS9400 and LS9432.
When an Ethernet driver of Mitsubishi is assigned to the GP, and 32
devices are connected to one GP, you need to monitor LS9400
through LS9431.
• The addresses in the LS Area can be viewed by selecting [Peripheral List]
and then [List of Device/PLC Management Addresses] from [System
Settings Window] of GP-Pro EX.
2 Check the communication line with the line monitor.

• The GP3000 series allows the assignment of up to 4 drivers to one GP, and
one driver allows the connection of up to 32 devices, which may vary
depending on the type of the connected device.
Example: When drivers for Mitsubishi and Omron are assigned to the GP, and
one Mitsubishi device and one Omron device are connected, you
need to monitor LS9400 and LS9432.
When an Ethernet driver of Mitsubishi is assigned to the GP, and 32
devices are connected to one GP, you need to monitor LS9400
through LS9431.
• The addresses in the LS Area can be viewed by selecting [Peripheral List]
and then [List of Device/PLC Management Addresses] from [System
Settings Window] of GP-Pro EX.
2 Check the communication line with the line monitor.
Is the operation of the Display or connected device overloaded?
Cause
Some functions, such as the D-script, global D-script, saving in the CF card, or hard-
copying of the GP screen, may apply a heavy load to the operation of updating the GP
screen. To determine the load, delete these functions once and check that the communi-
cation is done properly.
When scanning the program of the connected device takes time, the update of the display
stops and the communication appears to stop.
Solution
Follow the procedure below to check the load to the screen update operation. Also check
the scan time of the connected device.
Continued
• Checking the load to the screen update operation

There are addresses called the LS Area in the GP and LS2036 in the LS Area stores the
display scan time (time required for screen update operation; Unit: ms). Monitor the
value stored in this address to check whether the load on the screen update operation is
heavy.
(1) Open the project file currently used, and place the Data Display specifying LS2036 on all
screens.

connected device, place the Data Display
a D-script which applies a heavy load is executed at a certain timing, resulting in a longer
time required for the GP screen update operation.
5 2000
LS2036 LS2036
In such a case, decrease the number of D-scripts or prevent multiple processes from being
executed at the same time.
• Checking the scan time of the connected device

Read the time required to scan the ladder program of the connected device and check if
the scan requires a longer time at specific occasions. If the ladder program operation
requires a long time, contact the manufacturer of the connected device.
