The PLC device value can be stored in the GOT internal device when the GOT is started by using GB40 (always on) as a trigger.

Since GB40 is on when the GOT is started, the PLC device can be stored in the GOT internal device using the project script function and device data transfer function. 
Configure the settings in the screen design software.

◆ For GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Version 1
Since GB40 cannot be set as the trigger device used for the device data transfer function, set the GOT internal device (GD1000 in the following example) as the trigger device and perform device data transfer. 
1. Transfer the PLC device value to the GOT internal device using the device data transfer function. 
(1) Select [Common] → [Device Data Transfer] → [New] to create a device data transfer. 
(2) [Basic] tab
  Trigger Type: Rise
  External Control Device: GD1000 (bit 0 is the trigger device.)
(3) [Device] tab
  Set the source device (PLC device) and destination device (GOT internal device). 
2. Turn on the trigger device for device data transfer with the project script function when starting the GOT. 
(1) Select [Common] → [Script] → [Script] then select [Add] in the [Project] tab to create a script. 
  • Trigger Type: Rise
  • Trigger Device: GB40
  • Script Program: [b:GD1000.b0]=ON;
* GS0.b4 (always on) can be used instead of GB40 (except on GT21).
