Compatibility between the DOS version NPST - GR software and the FPWIN GR Control FPWIN GR
Compatibility between the DOS version

NPST - GR software and the FPWIN GR
There are some areas which differ between the conventional DOS version software of
the NPST - GR and the FPWIN GR. Please check the contents listed below carefully.
File compatibility
Files created with the NPST - GR Ver. 4 or Ver. 3 can be loaded (including I/O comments,
remarks and block comments).
Files created with the FPWIN GR can be saved as NPST - GR files, but without the
comments.
When programs and comments created with the FPWIN GR are downloaded to the PLC,
comments cannot be loaded with the NPST - GR, but programs can be loaded.
Operation and function compatibility
There are no merge registration or loading functions. Instead, the Copy and Paste
functions in Windows should be used.
Verifications cannot be carried out targeting files. The files to be verified must first be
loaded, and then verified.
There are no multi - point monitoring or multi - data monitoring functions.
The network status cannot be displayed on the online status display.
Programs transferred to the IC card in the FPWIN GR format cannot be read by
NPST - GR.
Opening NPST - GR files
When loading conventional NPST - GR
files from a disk, select NPST - GR File
(*.spg) from the drop - down list under
Files of type, as shown at the left.

Control FPWIN GR Special precautions
Special precautions
Deleting programs
Before inputting programs in the PLC, always carry out the Clear Program operation.
[Clearing Program] ! Section 3.1.2
A note about saving programs
To ensure that programs are not accidentally lost, we strongly recommend that users
follow the precautions listed below.
Hard copies should be created.
In case programs are lost, or files are destroyed or accidentally overwritten, the contents
of the program should always be printed out and a hard copy stored somewhere for
future use.
Passwords should be carefully specified.
The password setting is designed to prevent accidental overwriting of data, but if the
password is forgotten, it makes it impossible to overwrite programs. Also, if a password
is compulsorily canceled, the program will be deleted. When setting passwords, make
sure they are written down in the specifications manual or another secure location.
ROM versions of programs should be created.
To prevent programs from being lost if the backup battery runs down, or accidentally
overwritten at the workplace site, we recommend making a ROM copy of programs input
to the RAM. If the PLC is being used over a long period of time, or if the program is being
incorporated into the device before being shipped, this is especially important.

An explanation of the forced input/output dialog box
This dialog box displays relays registered on the list, the status of the
forced input/output for each relay, and I/O comments.
Explanation of buttons
: Input/output is turned on forcibly for the selected relay, regardless of
the program.
: Input/output is turned off forcibly for the selected relay, regardless of
the program.
: This specifies that operation be executed as specified by the program
contents for the selected relay. If the PLC is in the PROG. mode,
however, or if a relay was forcibly turned on or off without the on/off
status being changed in the program, the status initiated by the forced
input/output will be maintained.
: This cancels all registered relays. If only the Cancel function is used,
however, if the PLC is in the PROG. mode, or if a relay was forcibly
turned on without the on/off status being changed in the program, the
status initiated by the forced input/output (the on status) is maintained
in some cases, so that the relay does not go off. To turn the relay off,
a forcible off should be executed for that relay, and then the relay
should be canceled.
: This deletes the currently selected (highlighted) relay from the
registration.
