(2) Limitations 2-1 Display Unit (Runtime) - When a USB device is inserted/removed, all USB devices may not become disabled under the condition that five or more USB devices are connected at the same time using the USB HUB in GP-4000 series. If this phenomenon occurs, reset the Display. - When two or more Data Displays with "Indirect" specified are made to be invisible at the same time while displaying a pop-up keypad, some Data Display may not be invisible. - A keypad is closed while the [Alt] key on the keypad of the RPA Window Display is held down. When the keypad is opened next time, the [Alt] key remains held down. - Do not use a logic program during communication with a Device/PLC using a USB/SIO (RS422/485). If the logic program is used in the situation, a communication error may occur. - In GP4000 series (except for GP-4100 series) and LT4000 series, the buzzer sound in Ver. 3.5 is different from that in Ver. lower than 3.5. - Do not attach/detach the fingerprint authentication unit while turning on the power to the Display. Doing so, inconsistency occurs between the security data and the fingerprint data and the display of the authentication and the password setting may not operate normally. If an inconsistency occurs between them due to attachment/detachment of the fingerprint authentication unit, update the fingerprint data of the fingerprint authentication unit using the "Update DB" function. - Do not attach/detach the transfer cable while transferring to the SP5000 Series Open Box (SP-5B40). Even if the cable is detached, the unit will not detect an error. - On the Power Box(SP-5B10) of the SP5000 series, In the case of forced transfer mode, you can not transfer using LAN2. - Compared to other series, the buzzer for the Open Box's (SP-5B40) Bit Momentary switch sounds different. - The Windows task bar flickers if you continually trigger the system menu's display operation (simultaneously touch the top-right and bottom-left corners) on the SP5000 series Open Box (SP-5B40). - On the SP5000 series Open Box (SP-5B40), after transfer operation, restarting or closing WinGP causes the sound to buzzer and lights to flash in red for all lights on the EZ Tower Light. - On the SP5000 series Open Box (SP-5B40), even though there are no devices connected, in the offline menu, the Peripheral Settings screen's USB Screen shows USB equipment. - On the GP4200 Series, GP4300 Series, and LT4000 Series, you cannot edit Web Server settings offline. - When using Load Text Table with code page 850, there is the case that Text table is not displayed correctly. - On the GP-4100 series (Color Model), when running out of power in the backup battery, the message "RAAA055:Clock has been initialized." will display instead of "RAAA053:Running out of power in the backup battery. Please change the battery." 2-2 Device/PLC - In Pro-Server EX's Device Monitor function when a Multiple Bit Write operation is performed on an array type Tag it may not write correctly. - When single bit write operation is performed on a 32-bit Tag(DINT), the 16th bit cannot be written. - When a Copy / Paste operation which results in the maximum number of Tags being exceeded no error is displayed. - When several Tag Data Files are created, the maximum number of Tags may not be checked correctly. - In Pro-Server EX's Device Monitor function the Multiple Bit Write operation may not work in some cases. - Do not use "Indirect" setting for the String type. If it is specified, data may not be displayed normally. - When STRING variables are displayed in Device Monitor of Pro-Server EX, only two characters are displayed. - Some spelling mistakes are found in English error messages. - If an error occurs during communication, set "1" or larger value for Retry Count. - When a bit device is specified in Alarm Summary, alarms of 17th bit or later are not displayed normally. If this phenomenon occurs, use the word device. - When the link parameter device is read, the communication cycle time becomes an illegal value. - In a screen where a Display Unit does not communicate with a PLC: When an access is made to the PLC using the pass-through function after the PLC is restarted, the password lock occurs to the PLC. Make connections using the pass-through function after the screen is shifted to the one where the Display Unit communicates with the PLC. - Do not write the data including the bit address with the extended recipe function. If such writing is made, a communication error may occur. - Do not input 32 or more characters for the device address in Address Input of Device Monitor. - Tag information allocated to I/O units may not be imported normally. If this phenomenon occurs, edit the data with the Editor manually. - When bit read/write for two or more points is performed to a bit-accessible word device or word type tag, an address other than the specified address may be read/written. - The pass-though function cannot be used when WinGP and IIS FTP servers are used at the same time. 2-3 WinGP - The buzzer of WinGP does not sound in PS-4700 (Z510). - When the File Manager displays a folder path and data in that folder is updated, the folder path reverts to the default path. - The system load status or wireless communication status may prevent the application from disconnecting within the time specified by the property: Disconnect after communication is down for. 2-4 Pro-face Remote HMI Server - In Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10, application distribution fails to correctly display distributed screens of Excel 2013 on the client. To distribute Excel 2013 screens, use desktop distribution. (3) When Serial No. and License Key Code are not input - Project data cannot be transferred to the operation panels (except for GP4100 series, IPCs and PC-ATs (Used WinGP)). - Transfer using the Transfer Tool is not available for WinGP.
