 FAQ

 I want to monitor a PLC on a PC running WinGP.


You can monitor a device by installing the Pass-Through function to a PC running WinGP. You can maintain a device on one PC by checking both the display unit and a ladder application at one time.


NOTE
* For installation and setup information on the Pass-Through function, see Pass-Through Function Guide.
* To use the Pass-Through function with WinGP, transfer a device driver supporting the Pass-Through function to WinGP. For the information on supporting device drivers and the environment, see Pass-Through Function.

Setup Procedure


To activate WinGP, GP-Pro EX Pass-Through Configuration Tool, and a ladder tool at the same time on a PC, we recommend you use a loopback address (127.0.0.1). This section explains how to set it up.
 

1.

Start up WinGP and Pass-Through Configuration Tool. Click [ADD (A)] on the [GP-Pro EX Pass-Through Configuration Tool] dialog box.
 


2.

The [Add] dialog box will open and show the list of connectable devices. Click the [Add (A)] button.
 


3.

The [Add GP] dialog box will appear. Specify the loopback address "127.0.0.1".
 


4.

"127.000.000.001" will be added in the list. Select the device to connect and click [OK].
 

 

IMPORTANT
* If "127.000.000.001" is not added in the list and a message "GP that corresponded to Pass-Through was not found" is displayed, WinGP or the transferred driver may not support the Pass-Through function. For the supporting device drivers, see Pass-Through Function.


5.

Setup is completed.
