3. To update the device, right click on Main unit area opens, Update Device window.
Select device and click

on ‘Update Device’
button.
4. To plug an IO extension unit, below steps can be followed.

1. Back side view shows IO1 slot, IO2 slot and COM slot where user can plug extension unit.
2. Click on slot area to highlight selected slot.
3. Do right click on selected slot, to plug extension as shown below.
COM slot
IO1 slot IO2slot

5. Click on context menu ‘Plug Device’ to pop up ‘Plug Device’ window as shown below.
Select IO extension
device as per
requirement and click on
button ‘Plug Device’.
6. After plugging IO extensions, if user requires to plug/update or delete device as per application
requirement, right click on extension unit.
For example, IO1 slot extension unit is selected and right clicked as shown below.
This completes one method for plugging IO extensions and COM extensions.

Alternately, user can plug extension devices in respective slots (IOExtensions and COMExtension) in
Device tree. Follow the steps below.
1. Right click on <Empty> slot to pop up context menu.
2. Click on Plug Device. Plug Device dialog shows list of extension devices supported for the selected
slot.
3. Select extension device and double click on it or click on button Plug Device to attach it to selected
slot.
After plugging, default name of I/O extension unit as IOE1<UnitOrderingCode> and
IOE2<UnitOrderingCode>.
Here, default name of I/O

extension unit is IOE1(GC-4A-12)
in device tree.
This completes hardware configuration selection
For parameter configuration, of individual Main unit variants and IO extension units.refer
N18006AAMH01 Graphic Operation Controller User Manual.

7. I/O Mapping
For GOC43, I/O memory map is fixed. Main unit consumes input memory %IB0, %IB1 and output memory
%QB0, %QB1. I/O Mapping tab shows digital Inputs and outputs as shown below.
Predefined symbolic names (with prefix as ‘_’) are global variables assigned for each input and output.
For input I00, symbolic name is _DI_MAIN_0 and address is %IX0.0.
Prefix is _DI_ and text MAIN_0 indicates that it is input I00 of Main unit.
Change the symbolic name after double click on name in Variable column. The dialog below pops up to
confirm the change in name throughout the Application .
Click Yes to accept

change in variable
name.
In Online mode,
Column Default Value shows IO values.
Debug → Write values (Ctrl + F7) allows user to write values to outputs by modifying values in Prepared
Value column.

8. IEC Objects
IEC objects are pre-defined global variables ((with prefix as ‘_’) which consists of system variables and
variables related to various functions.
The dialog below shows offline view.
User can monitor and modify values of IEC objects in Online mode.
Using tab “IEC Objects”, user can monitor and set system variables in CoDeSys online mode.
9. PLC Settings
User can make the basic settings like handling of inputs and outputs and the bus cycle task.
For safe operation, select option Set

all outputs to default for setting
Behaviour of outputs in Stop.
Ensure to choose option Enabled 2

(always in bus cycle task’ for
setting Always update variables.
Ensure to choose option

MainTask’ for setting Bus
cycle task.

4.3 To create simple ladder program

In this section, we can write a PLC code using ladder editor as an exercise.
– Add new POU with ladder language
– Add a variable ‘Start’ and ‘Motor’
– Switch ON ‘Motor’ if ‘Start’ is ON for 1 sec or more.
– Call POU in PLC_PRG
Adding new POU with ladder language
Right click on application

and execute Add object >

Click on “TargetVisu” tab, to view further visualization settings such as start visualization, update rate,
scaling options, default text input etc.
GOC LCD displays this

screen after downloading
program to PLC.
User can modify this
value.
Click on ‘Home’ screen and add HMI elements by drag and drop as shown below.
Drag and drop HMI object

from visualization toolbox
to screen.
Similarly, user can drag and add elements covered in other groups such as Common controls,
Measurement controls, Lamps/Switches/Bitmaps, Special controls, Date/time controls etc.

For setting properties of individual element, select element on screen so that element ‘Properties’ window
gets open in toolbox as shown.
Element properties
window for selected
element.
Here, Polygon.
Also, user can add multiple screens up to 64 screens by executing Device (GC 43) >> Application [do right
click] >> Add Object >> Visualization.
User can modify

visualization name as per
application requirement.
Click on Add button, to

add screen under
‘Visualization Manager’

4.5 To download project and Online operations
For downloading project to PLC, it should be error free.
Compile project by executing menu Build >> Clean all, Build >> Rebuild. This provides user list of errors (if
any), warnings and information messages under “Messages” window.
After successful compilation of project, follow below steps,
1. Power ON and connect GOC43 device to PC via Ethernet.
2. Click on Device (GC 43) >> Communication settings as shown below.
Click on Scan network to

open ‘Select Device’
dialogue.
Click here on
Scan network to
update connected
device.
Click Ok to connect
