Enhanced playback functions of sound files
Multiple files can be set and played back consecutively (up to 16 files).
The playback time is now longer than before so that various messages can be used.
Easily set consecutive playback list (by switch operation or trigger action)
In GT Works3, just specify the files in the playlist in the order of your preference and the files are played back consecutively.
Cancel or mute the sound while it is being played back
After checking the situation, you can stop or mute the sound while it is being played back so that you do not need to worry about annoying other operators.
Sound notification is useful at the worksite
Use message, sound effect, or melody to notify occurring events
When an alarm occurs, outputting a warning message or a warning sound can reliably convey the information to the operators who are working away from the GOT. It is also usable while screen saver is active. Quickly notify the alarm information and the error cause of the equipment to reduce the downtime of the system.
Additional functions
Even if multiple errors occur, playback all messages
If multiple errors occurred simultaneously, GOT saves up to 16 data and notify all events. There is no need to worry about missing some occurred events.
Consecutive playback reduces data size
You can extract common parts and register them as separate sound data to avoid saving duplicate data and reduce data size. To change messages, simply change the combination.
Useful tips about using sound notification
Change touch sound depending on the situation
The touch sound can be changed depending on the worksite situation or the operator's preference.
Use as the sound guidance when touching a switch
When touching a switch, a message guides you to the next operation and notifies cautions so that you can avoid operation mistakes in advance.
Announce a message in various languages sequentially
When there are operators who understand different languages, you can convey necessary information correctly to every operator.
