(5) Switch between main GOT and sub GOT
Change the values of the "main GOT signal" (M5124) and "sub GOT signal" (M5125) of the devices disclosed to
users with the barcode reader to be processed.
For details of the signals, refer to the following.
Barcode reader to be processed Main GOT signal Sub GOT signal
Main GOT
Serial communication module (CH1) ON OFF
Serial communication module (CH2)
Sub GOT (Area No. 1)

OFF ON
(6) Determination of an area

If the barcode reader to be processed is connected to the main GOT, whether the extracted valid code is a
barcode of "area" or not is determined.
For details of the barcodes, refer to the following.
Barcode New Area No. Barcode New Area No.
1 6

1-6
If the extracted valid code is a barcode of "area", change the value of the designated area device corresponding
to the barcode reader to be processed to the new area number.
For details of "designated area devices", refer to the following.
Barcode reader to be processed Designated area device
Main GOT D9040
Serial communication module (CH1) D9041
Serial communication module (CH2) D9042
(7) Determination of parts supply mode or parts return mode

Whether the extracted valid code is a barcode of "parts supply mode" or "parts return mode" is determined.
• Parts supply mode: This mode increases the stocks by the quantity registered by Register Parts.
• Parts return mode: This mode does not increase the stocks regardless of the quantity registered by Register
Parts.
For details of the barcodes, refer to the following.

Barcode New mode Parts return mode signal
Parts supply mode OFF

D9071 D7911
barcode reader to be processed
If the extracted valid code is a barcode of "parts supply mode" or "parts return mode", change the value on the
device disclosed to users.For the details, refer to the following.
Barcode Value to be stored Destination device disclosed to users
Parts supply mode -1

D7912 to D7913
Parts return mode 0
(10) Code write request

Set the request signal (M5120) of the external interface "Write barcode" to "ON", and then write the barcode to
the POKAYOKE system.
POINT
If the check operation is valid on the main GOT, the area number cannot be changed by barcode.
(11) End processing

After the "Write barcode" external interface normal end signal (M5122) or abnormal end signal (M5123) turns
"ON", set the request signal (M5120) to "OFF".

2. Plan Operation Function
This function starts operation of the POKAYOKE system according to the pre-registered plan and manages the produc-
tion quantity.
It consists of sample program and sample screen of the main GOT.
In this sample program, "external interface" of the POKAYOKE application is used.
POINT
For details of the external interface and devices disclosed to users, refer to the following.
2.1 Description
This function allows users to manage the progress of each plan by noting "Sets" registered on the sample "Register
Plan" screen and "Total" which was actually produced.
(The progress of the plan can be checked on the sample "Plan Progress" screen.)
Enter "Plan No." from the sample "Process Display" screen to begin plan operations, and then the plan operation starts.
(Plan operations end when the area in which a plan is running enters the Standby state.)
POINT
Incorporating the sample function ( 1. Barcode Reading Function) into the POKAYOKE system enables the
following operations with the barcode reader.
• By reading the production plan code on the sample "Process Display" screen, the operation of the
corresponding plan can be started.
• By reading the part code on the sample "Process Display" screen, the corresponding part can be supplied.
• By reading the production plan code on the sample "Register Plan" window, the production plan code can be
entered.
To register a production plan code by using the barcode reader and start operation by using the production plan
code, the "sample barcode program" other than "sample production plan program" is required.
1.2 How to install the program

3.3 How to change the script

To apply the script to an area other than Area No. 1, which is the default for the sample sub GOT, set the script value so
that it matches the area number where it is to be applied.
The following describes the procedure for changing the area number.
1. Open the screen project in GT Designer3.
2. Open [Common] → [Script] → [Script] on the menu bar at the top of the screen.
3-2
3. In the window that appears, select "Script No.4, startup process".
Then, click [Edit] on the right side of the window.
4. Click [Edit Script] on the right side of the displayed window.
5. In the line "[w:TMP0] = 1;" in the script, the "1" represents Area No. 1.
Change the value here to the numeric value of the area to be operated (in the range 1 to 10).
Then, click the [OK] button to close the window.
6. Click the [OK] button to close the remaining two windows. The area number has been changed.
3-3
3.4 Changing the controller settings
To increase the number of connected devices while using the same screen project, configure the connected programma-
ble controllers and the station numbers, IP addresses and port numbers of all the GOTs so that they do not overlap.
These values can be changed from "Controller Setting" in GT Designer3.
The following describes the procedure for changing the values.
1. Open the screen project in GT Designer3.
2. From the docking window on the left side of the screen, select [System] → [Controller Setting] and click [CH1:
MELSEC-L].
3. When the controller settings appear, change the values of GOT Station, GOT Standard Ethernet Setting, and GOT
Communication Port No.
GOT Station and the GOT Communication Port No. can be changed by entering the value directly.
GOT Standard Ethernet Setting can be changed from the "GOT Standard Ethernet Setting" window, which can be
opened by clicking the [GOT Standard Ethernet Setting] button.
3-4
4. Click the [OK] button on the controller setting window to complete the settings.

This lamp turns on as soon as a code reading signal is input from the connected barcode.
If the lamp does not turn on when a barcode is read, the barcode settings in the sample sub GOT and the
settings on the barcode side may not match.
The following models do not support connection of a barcode reader, and therefore the
corresponding sample project has no "Check" screen.
