#	Summary	Question
1	Ideal PLC for multiple touch panels	I need to connect three GV52 units and one GT11 unit to the PLC. Which model is recommended
2	PLC COM port rewriting in RUN mode	When connecting FP0 to GT30 and conducting a rewriting operation in RUN mode using the "through" function, "NOT SUPPORTED" error occurs. This does not occur when using FP2. Why?
3	General-purpose communications protocol for GT series	Please explain the general-purpose communications protocol for GT series.
4	GT10: How to activate data entry by a touch switch	When pressing DA0 on the keyboard, data entry is possible. However, I need a setting that activates DA0 entry when R150 is turned on by pressing SW0. SW0 settings: Momentary (R150), Do ON/OFF, Switch held down. DA0 settings: Activation condition, ON, Reference device = R150. All are attached on the same screen.
5	GT series: Method for reliable screen switching by PLC	I use both the instruction from PLC (FP0) and the function switches of GT11 to switch the screens. However, the second instruction from the PLC does not work.
6	GT series: How do I set data entry for data parts?	What is the difference between the keyboard part and keyboard screen for entry of data parts?
7	GT30: Can I switch screens by using both the function switch and programmable controller?	GT30: Can I switch screens by using both the function switch and programmable controller?
8	Are GT21 and FX3U connectable?	Is GT21C connectable with the sequencer FX3U of Mitsubishi?
9	How do I sound the GT10 and GT30 buzzers?	How do I sound the buzzers? Can I change the tone?
10	GT30 to FP0, error 61	When connecting GT30 to FP0, error 61 is indicated. Why?
11	How do I register 17 or more message patterns?	Normally, up to 16 message patterns can be registered into a standard message parts. How can I register 20 patterns?
12	Delay in transmission when powering on	Power was turned on at the same time as the PLC and at first error FF was displayed and then it took about 20 seconds before transmission started.
13	I need to turn the display of GT10 switches on and off.	Can I display or erase the switches on the screen?
14	Download calendar timer settings to GV	Although I set a clock IC in FP2, the calendar setting was not automatically downloaded into GV. Why?
15	Data parts are not displayed on the GT30 screens.	The data parts I created are not displayed on the GT30 screens, and only characters are displayed. PLC is not connected.
16	Different language fonts of GT10	Is it possible to create GT10 screens with different language fonts mixed (Hangul, Chinese, English, and Japanese)?
17	GT30 cannot communicate with a notebook PC.	GT30 cannot communicate with a notebook PC. (FP2 can communicate with it. Both FP2 and GT30 can communicate with a desktop PC.)
18	GT30 is connected to the COM port of FP2. However, they don’t communicate.	GT30 made a general-purpose serial communication setup is connected to the COM port of FP2. However, they don’t communicate. There are no problems in either the cable connection or electric continuity.
19	How to display the overlap screens of the GV series: No. 1	I need to display and delete data indications on the overlap screens using switch parts. How do I do this?
20	Reusable GTWIN parts library	How can I create a parts library that can used in each program using GTWIN?
