Station No. switching is executed by switching the station No. stored to the station No. switching device.
The station No. can be specified in either of the following methods. The station No. is stored into the station No. switching device by the methods.
(1) Store a value in the device for switching station No.
Station No. can be switched if a value is stored in the device for switching station No. as follows:.
• When GOT has been incorporated into the data link system (MELSECNET) or CC-Link system Monitor different station Nos. on base screen and window
screen. Use Touch switch to change monitor target.
Set on "Station No. switching device" dialog box

* For Ethernet connection, Ethernet setting is required on GT Designer2.
Refer to the following manual for details of the setting method.

(2) Use touch switch to switch station No.]
Touch the touch switch dedicated to switching station No. to switch the station No.
Section 6.2 Touch Switch
When using GOT data register (GD) for switching station No. device
Module connected to station No.0 of network No.0 is monitored until setting the value of switching station No. device (GD) after turning on GOT.
Thus, the system alarm "402 Communication timeout. Confirm communication pathway or modules." will occur depending on the connection type.
To not occur the system alarm, create the initial displaying screen and set the value to switching station No. device in the screen.
Switching target Storage value (hexadecimal)
Network No. (1 to 255)
Relation between change target and storage value is as follows:

This section provides the precautions for switching station No.
1 PLC CPU compatible with "Switching station No.".
"Switching station No." is available only when MELSEC-A, MELSELC-QnA, MELSELC-Q series are monitored.
2 Objects incompatible with "Switching station No."
The following object devices are not compatible with "Switching station No."
GOT monitors the device of the station No. set in each object.
Note that if the object compatible with "Switching station No." has been set in the same screen, GOT will monitor the different station No. depending on the object when carrying out "Switching station No."
*1 Only when the [memory storage] has been set, GOT monitors the device of the station No. set in the object.
GOT monitors the device of the station No. set as the switching target when the [memory storage] is not set.
*2 Only when the [Locus] has been set, GOT monitors the device of the station No. set in the object.
GOT monitors the device of the station No. set as the switching target when the [Locus] is not set.
*3 Only when the settings have been made for each project, GOT monitors the device of the station No. set in the object.
GOT monitors the device of the station No. set as the switching target when the settings have been made for each screen.
