1. Introduction
The GOT FB library is designed to configure the on-board serial ports of
Nexgen5000 series CPUs as Mitsubishi C 24 protocol slave port. The
Processor modules in Nexgen5000 series, provides up to 3 serial ports with
open protocol feature. The GOT library FB is compatible with all these ports.
• Port 1 – This is basically used as programming port when connected

to CoDeSys. Alternatively, it can also be used in open protocol
mode.
• Port 2 – This port is used as port with open protocol.
• Port 3 – This port is used as port with open protocol.
Depending on the CPU model, Port 1, Port 2 and Port 3 are available. Please
refer to Processor 521x User Manual for model wise features. All the three
serial ports support open protocol and user can communicate with any third
party device using communication driver functions.
In Nexgen5000 series, the Protocol and Application layers in standard OSI

model of communication can be defined by using any of the five IEC
programming languages. The GOT FB library is one of such protocol FBs.
The library consists of FB namely “GOT_SLAVE”.
Highlighting Features of GOT_SLAVE FB
• User need not know the C 24 protocol.

• Communicates with any third party C 24 master.
• Allows exchanging data via I, Q and M devices in Nexgen 5000 PLC.
• Ready to use FB with few parameters to define to go
• Flexibility in station number programming.
These FBs are useful to interface Mitsubishi make Graphic Operator

Terminals (GOTs) as a master. The functions of GOT, serial commands
supported and set up required for GOT for interface with Nexgen 521X is
explained in Appendix 3, Appendix 4 and Appendix 5, respectively.
The subsequent topics discuss how to program and use FB.

2. GOT_SLAVE (FB)
This FB handles serial communication with

C 24 protocol as slave device.
The GOT_SLAVE FB is useful to
communicate with Mitsubishi
make Graphic Operator Terminals (GOTs).
Description of Parameters-
Port VAR_IN BYTE This input byte holds communication port number to
be activated with GOT slave FB. It should contain
constant value of 1 or 2 or 3 for Port 1, Port 2, Port
3 respectively. Any other value is invalid.
SNo VAR_IN BYTE This input byte holds the station number. Valid range
is from 0 to 31. For invalid station numbers, FB is not
executed.
Comset VAR_IN_OUT GOT_Comset This is input variable of user defined data type
GOT_Comset. It defines communication parameter
settings like baud rate, parity, operation mode, etc
for a slave device. Appendix 1 provides the details of
various communication parameter settings.
Status VAR_OUT BYTE This output BYTE holds the status of execution
Status.0 This bit is TRUE when port is opened
successfully with the communication
parameters assigned.
Replies VAR_OUT WORD This word holds number of healthy replies send to
the commands received from master. After 65535,
value rolls over to 0.
ErrCount VAR_OUT WORD This word holds number of errors detected in
reception. The number increments by 1 if
• Station number in command received is not
matching with station number defined by SNo.
• CPU type is not matching to Melsec A.
• Command received in invalid. The commands
supported by FB are listed in Appendix 4.
• While reception of any command, necessary
number of bytes are not received in time
duration of 300 ms.
• After reception of any command, calculated
ckecksum is not matching with that of received.
• Command requests for PLC variables which are
out of range for a particular Nexgen 5000
Processor.
In all these cases, earlier received bytes are ignored
and no response is sent.FB looks for next command.

Example –
This example shows initialization of communication port 2. Default

communication parameters are 19.2 KBaud, Even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop
bit and full duplex mode. When EN is TRUE, Port2_Status hold 1 indicating
that port 2 is opened with assigned communication parameters successfully.
If any valid command received is responded successfully, output word
Port2_Replies increments by 1. If any error is observed in reception, output
word Port2_ErrCounter increments by 1. In such errors, slave does not
respond and waits to receive next valid command.

2.1 PLC Variables and Range Supported by FB
C 24 protocol accesses PLC variables as X (input bits), Y (output bits),

M ( auxiliary relay bits) and D (Data registers). PLC Variables supported by
GOT_SLAVE FB for read and write operations are listed below along with
the addressing ranges.
Device Mnemonic Range Quantity

Input bits X X0000 to X000F 2048
X0010 to X001F
X07F0 to X07FF
Output bits Y Y0000 to Y000F 2048
Y0010 to Y001F
Y07F0 to Y07FF
Auxiliary Relay bits M M0000 to M8191 8192
Data Registers D D0, D1 to D7935 7936
GOT_SLAVE FB supports commands explained in Appendix 3. If GOT tries

to access devices other than I, Q, M and D (like R, T, C, etc), FB does
respond and communication error is detected.

2.2 Memory Mapping for Processor 521x
Processor 5000 supports PLC variables as %I (inputs), %Q (outputs) and

%M (markers). The table in Appendix 1 shows PLC variables supported by
Processor 521x along with the addressing ranges.
The variables supported by GOT_SLAVE FB are mapped in such a way that

PLC variables of Nexgen 5000 Processor can be accessed with UC 24
protocol. The variables I (Input), Q (Output) and M (Marker) are mapped as
X (input), Y (output), M( auxiliary relay bits) and D ( Data registers). The table
below shows the memory mapping of PLC variables.
Nexgen 5000 Processor supports 2048 Input BOOLs from %IX0.0 to %IX255.7.
They are mapped as input devices from X0000 to X07FF.
Variable Range Mapping in X (Input Devices)

%MX15871.7. Out of this range, 8192 BOOLs from %MX0.0 to %MX1023.7 can be
accessed as M0000 to M8191. The remaining BOOLS up to %MX15871.7 cannot
be accessed.

For baud rate selection, two Baud Normal Mode Extended Mode
combination modes normal and Rate (bF=0) (bF=1)
extended are provided for second Port 2 Port 3 Port 2 Port 3
and third serial port. Mode is
selected considering baud rate 300 Y Y Y Y
required for both communication 600 Y Y Y Y
port 2 and 3. It is not possible to
select two different modes for 1200 Y Y Y Y
communication port 2 and 3. If 2400 Y Y Y Y
different modes are selected for
two ports, second OPENPORT FB 4800 Y Y Y Y

table shows different baud rate
combinations possible for 14400 Y N Y N
communication port 2 and 3. 19200 Y Y Y N

The Comset is initialized to 16#1407. So baud rate is 19.2 Kb, even parity, 7
data bits and 1 stop bit. Normally, these are default settings for GOT. Other
members of user defined data type GOT_ComSet are explained in table
below.
Rx_Delay BYTE Rx_Delay is a delay for starting reception after completion of any
transmission. This delay is active while receiving first byte after any
transmission. It is a character delay and varies according to
communication parameter settings. This is applicable only in half duplex
mode.
Actual time delay = (No. of parity bits+ No. of stop bits for transmission+
No. of data bits)*Rx_Delay / BPS
Tx_Delay BYTE Tx_Delay is a delay for starting transmission after completion of any
reception. This delay is active while transmitting first byte after any
reception. It is a character delay and varies according to communication
parameter settings. This is applicable only in half duplex mode.
Actual time delay = (No.of parity bits+ No. of stop bits for reception+
No. of data bits)* Tx_Delay / BPS
