Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Global 100 (10495)

The Global 100 does use ACOP. The primary difference between the Global 100 and Global 8 with ACOP is that the Global 100 supports more Open Protocol commands. Instead of 8 parameters, the G100 has 100 parameters and they can be assigned to a Job. A Job can consist of up to 30 parameters. The Global 100 can store up to 100 Jobs. When the Job command is sent to the G 100, it will guide the operator through the Job one parameter at one time. The Global 100 can also communicate with 20 tools instead of only 8 tools as in the Global 8. The Global 100 can also be maintained via the Ethernet connection and the utility software that is supplied free of charge. It is necessary to pair or “learn” the radio of the G100 and the tool at the controller using the menu screens, however creating the parameters can be accomplished over the Ethernet from your computer with the software.
The Global 100 uses the same I/O cable as the Global 8. It is very important to understand that the only functional portion of the I/O for the G100 are the Outputs. Only the Suspend Input is functional. We basically have used the operating framework of the Global 8 for the G 100. In the G 8 there is the capacity for 8 parameters. Engineering increased the G100 capacity by storing the parameters on the network card that is separate from the Global 8 processor that manages the 8 parameters. The G100 is really an Ethernet-based system. The command to select a parameter or a job is done via the Ethernet connection or the serial barcode input. Once a parameter is selected it overwrites one of the 8 parameter slots (leftover from the Global 8). Overwriting the parameter slot is random and there is no way for the PLC to know what or where the parameter is in the 8 slots. We can accept a suspend and we can provide Accept, Reject or Batch Accept, but that is all the I/O is capable of.
