4 Quick start
Select location
to save project
After saving project below ‘GOC 43 Project’ window gets pop up.
After clicking OK, following ‘Devices’ tab gets open as shown below.
2. On Hardware configuration tab, back side view of Main unit is shown as below.
Red highlighter
denotes Main unit
is selected.
3. To update the device, right click on Main unit area opens, Update Device window.
COM slot
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>.
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 .
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.
Select type as
‘Program’
Click ADD
Local variables
of POU
After adding elements to ladder network , user can assign variable to element as shown below.
Drag and drop “MyPOU” to PLC code and the view after adding “MyPOU” in PLC_PRG is as below.
Visualization
Home: Starting screen toolbox
Do not modify default settings provided on “Visualization Manager” tab and “TargetVisu” tab.
Click on “TargetVisu” tab, to view further visualization settings such as start visualization, update rate,
scaling options, default text input etc.
Click on ‘Home’ screen and add HMI elements by drag and drop as shown below.
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.

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.
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.

update connected
device.
Click Ok to connect
with selected device
3. Execute menu Online >> Login (Alt + F8), this opens confirmation dialogue to start project
downloading
4. After successful downloading, execute menu Debug >> Start (F5) to put device in RUN mode.
