The connection between PC and GRP via cable
allows you to configure, read and acquire the data
read from the field in real-time (measured voltage,
current, power, alarms and device status etc. ).
The GF_eXpress configuration software allows the
complete configuration of the GRP using a USB
converter cable (F060800), which can be ordered as
a Gefran accessory.
For more information on programming with a PC, see
the GF_eXpress documentation available at www.
gefran.com.
Caution! A high level of knowledge of the problems
and techniques for controlling electricity is required to
correctly configure the GRP device so that it meets
the application needs.
Caution! Before commissioning the GRP device, the
user must ensure the parameters are set correctly
to avoid damages to persons or property. If you are
unsure of your skills or not fully aware of the potential
consequences of incorrect parameter settings, we
advise you not to proceed with the configuration. If in
doubt, or if you would like some clarification, please
visit www.gefran.com or contact the Gefran Customer
Care service.
The GRP device can be fully configured, controlled
and monitored via the IO-Link point-to-point
communication protocol. The IODD files characteristic
of the device can be downloaded from www.gefran.
com, from the page dedicated to the GRP device.
For details of all parameters and commands available
