GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual6
Indicates situations that will definitely
result in severe bodily injury, death, or
major machine damage if the instructions
are not followed.
Indicates situations that may result in severe
bodily injury, death, or major machine
damage if the instructions are not followed.
Indicates situations that may result in minor
bodily injury or damage to the machinery if
the instructions are not followed.
This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GLC cor-
rectly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly
to understand the correct operation and functions of the GLC unit.
Safety Symbols
Please pay attention to the following safety symbols and their meanings:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
DANGERS
When Designing your GLC System:
• Be sure to design your GLC control system so that, in the
event of a main power supply failure or a GLC accident, the
user system’s overall safety integrity will be maintained. If
this is not done, incorrect output signals or a GLC mal-
function may cause an accident.
(1) Interlock and other circuits designed to interrupt or op-
pose normal machine movement (such as Emergency
Stop, General Protection, and forward and reverse rota-
tion), as well as those designed to prevent machine dam-
age (such as upper, lower, and traverse movement limit
positioning) should all be designed to be located out-
side of the GLC.
Essential Safety Precautions

GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 7
Preface
(2) When the GLC generates a “Watchdog Timer Error,” GLC
operation will halt. Also, when Errors occur in Input/
Output control areas that the GLC cannot detect, unex-
pected movement may occur in those areas. Therefore,
and to prevent unsafe machine movement, a “Failsafe
Circuit” should be created which is completely external
to the GLC.
(3) If a problem arises with an external unit’s relay or tran-
sistor, causing an output (coil) to remain either ON or
OFF, a major accident can occur. To prevent this, be
sure to set up external watchdog circuits that will moni-
tor vital output signals.
• Design a circuit that will supply power to the GLC unit’s
I/O before starting up the GLC. If the GLC unit’s internal
program enters RUN mode prior to the I/O unit’s load con-
trol power turning ON, an incorrect output (signal) or mal-
function could cause an accident.
• Design a user program that ensures the safety of the user’s
system, in the event of a GLC display or control error, or
either a data transmission error or power failure between
the GLC and a connected unit. These types of problems
can lead to an incorrect output (signal) or malfunction, re-
sulting in an accident.
•Do NOT make switches using the switches on the touch
panels which may cause operator injury and machine dam-
age. An output may remain either ON or OFF and a major
accident can occur. To prevent this, set up circuits such as
limiters that will monitor vital output signals. Design
switches for important operations to be performed by sepa-
rate devices. An incorrect output or malfunction can occur
and thereby cause an accident.
• Do NOT use GLC touch panel switches to perform operator
safety-related or important accident-prevention operations.
These operations should be performed by separate hardware
switches to prevent operator injury and machine damage.
DANGERS

Preface
GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual8
WARNINGS
DANGERS
• Design your system so that equipment will not malfunction
due to a communication fault between the GLC and its host
controller. This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury
or material damage.
•Do NOT use the GLC as a warning device for critical warn-
ing alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine
damage, or production stoppage. Use stand-alone hardware
and/or mechanical interlocks to design alarm indicators and
their control/activator units.
• The GLC is not appropriate for use with aircraft control de-
vices, medical life-support equipment, central trunk data
transmission (communication) devices, or nuclear power
control devices, due to their inherent requirements of ex-
tremely high levels of safety and reliability.
• When using the GLC with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars, and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, and medical devices that
are not life-support related, use redundant and/or failsafe
system designs to ensure proper reliability and safety.
• Unlike the GLC unit’s “Standby Mode,” after the GLC unit’s
backlight burns out, the touch panel is still active. If the
operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine
misoperation can occur. Your backlight is burned out if:
• your GLC is not set to “Standby Mode” and the screen
has gone blank
• your GLC is set to “Standby Mode,” but touching the
screen does not cause the display to reappear
To prevent accidental machine misoperation, Pro-face rec-
ommends that you use the GLC unit’s “USE TOUCH PANEL
AFTER BACKLIGHT BURNOUT” feature, to automatically
detect a burnout and disable the touch screen.

GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 9
Preface
Installation Warnings:
• High voltage runs through the GLC. To prevent an electrical
shock, do NOT disassemble the GLC for any reason other
than to replace the backlight.
• Do NOT modify the GLC unit. Doing so may cause a fire or
an electrical shock.
• Do NOT use the GLC in an environment where flammable
gases are present. Operating the GLC under these condi-
tions may cause an explosion.
Wiring Warnings:
• To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug
the GLC unit’s power cord from the power supply prior to
installing or wiring the GLC.
• After completing any GLC wiring work, be sure the termi-
nal block’s protective plastic cover is reattached. If this
cover is not reattached, an electrical shock could easily
occur.
• Do NOT use power levels with the GLC that are higher or
lower than the GLC unit’s specified power range. Doing so
may cause a fire, electrical shock, or GLC damage.
Operation and Maintenance Warnings:
• NEVER touch a live power terminal. Doing so could cause
an electrical shock or a machine malfunction.
• To prevent an electrical shock, unplug the GLC unit’s power
cord before either cleaning the GLC or attaching/detach-
ing the power terminal attachment screws.
• When replacing the GLC unit’s backlight, be sure to un-
plug the unit’s power cord to prevent an electrical shock,
and wear safety gloves to prevent burns.
WARNINGS

Preface
GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual10
CAUTIONS
WARNINGS
• The GLC uses a lithium battery to back up its internal clock
and to control memory data. If the battery is incorrectly re-
placed (reversed positive [+] and negative [-] ends), the bat-
tery may explode. Therefore, Pro-face recommends that you
contact your local GLC distributor for instructions before
replacing or changing the battery.
Wiring Layout Cautions:
• To prevent a GLC unit malfunction due to excessive noise,
isolate all GLC input/output signal lines from all power wir-
ing or power cables via a separate wiring duct.
Installation Cautions:
• To reduce the risk of incorrect input or output signals, be
sure that any data cables attached to the GLC unit’s con-
nector make full contact with the connector pins.
General Wiring Cautions:
• To prevent electrical shocks or malfunctions, be sure the
GLC unit’s FG (earth) wire is grounded as follows:
(1) maximum grounding resistance: 100 ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ω
(2) minimum grounding wire diameter: 2 mm2
• The cables connected to the GLC should be secured by
cable clamps to prevent weight or tension of the cables
added to the connectors or terminals.
•The GLC unit’s wiring should be checked to confirm that
both the operating voltage and wiring terminal locations
are correct. If either the voltage or the wiring terminal loca-
tion is incorrect, it can cause a fire or accident.
• Be sure to secure all wiring terminal screws with the des-
ignated torque. Screws and terminals that become loose
can cause a short circuit, fire, or accident.

GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 11
Preface
CAUTIONS
•Be sure that metal filings or wiring remnants do not fall
inside the GLC, since they can cause a fire, accident, or
malfunction.
GLC Operation and Maintenance Cautions:
• Be sure to read the GLC unit’s manual and online help in-
formation carefully before performing program changes,
entering forced output, or using the RUN, STOP, or PAUSE
commands while the GLC is operating. Mistakes made when
using these items can cause machine accidents or damage.
•Be sure the electricity is turned OFF before attaching or
detaching an I/O unit. If the electricity is ON when an I/O
unit is attached or detached, damage or malfunction to the
I/O unit may occur.
• The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant. If, for
any reason, the panel is damaged and this liquid enters
your eyes, flush your eyes for 15 minutes with running wa-
ter and contact a physician immediately.
• Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, and to prevent
damage to or loss of the CF Card’s internal data, turn the
GLC unit’s CF Card ACCESS switch OFF, and make sure
that the ACCESS lamp is not lit.
• While a CF Card is being accessed, NEVER
• turn OFF the GLC
• reset the GLC
• insert a CF Card
• remove a CF Card
Prior to performing these operations, create and use a spe-
cial GLC application screen that will prevent access to the
CF Card.
GLC Unit Disposal Cautions:
• The GLC unit should be disposed of in a manner appropri-
ate to, and in accordance with, the user country’s indus-
trial machinery disposal standards.

Preface
GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual12
• Do NOT strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press on
the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch
panel or the display.
• Do NOT install the GLC where the ambient temperature can exceed the
allowed range. Doing so may cause the GLC to malfunction or shorten
its operation life.
• Do NOT restrict or limit the GLC unit’s naturally-occurring, rear-face
ventilation, and do NOT store or use the GLC in overheated areas.
• Do NOT store or use the GLC unit in areas where large, sudden tem-
perature changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to
form inside the unit, which can cause possible unit malfunctions.
• Do NOT allow water, liquids, metals, or charged particles to enter inside
the GLC unit’s outer casing, since they can cause either a GLC malfunc-
tion or an electrical shock. The allowable pollution degree is 2.
• Do NOT store or use the GLC in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty
or dirty environments.
• Do NOT store or use the GLC in an environment where shaking or ex-
cessive vibration can occur.
• Do NOT store or use the GLC where chemicals (such as organic sol-
vents and acids) can evaporate, or in environments where chemicals
and acids are present in the air.
Corrosive chemicals: acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt
Flammable chemicals: organic solvents
• Do NOT use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GLC.
• Do NOT store or operate the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) in areas that
receive direct sunlight, since the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays may cause
the quality of the LCD to deteriorate.
• Storing this unit in areas at temperatures that are lower than is recom-
mended in this manual’s specifications may cause the LCD panel’s liq-
uid to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely, if the storage
area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD
panel’s liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the
LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where tempera-
tures are within the ranges specified in this manual.
• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the
GLC unit’s screen data/logic program regularly.
General Safety Precautions

GLC2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 13
Preface
About the GLC Unit’s Display Panel
• The data that is currently displayed on the GLC unit’s screen, the screen’s
brightness, and the GLC unit’s voltage*1 each affect the screen’s inten-
sity of Contouring — wavelike pattern that is created when some parts
of the screen are brighter than others.
• The minute, dark and light grid-points on the display panel’s surface are
part of the GLC unit’s design and are not defects.
• Extended shadows, or “crosstalk,” may appear on the sides of screen
images. This is normal for an LCD panel.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have
changed. This is a common attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods of time can cause an afterim-
age to remain when the screen display is changed.
To prevent this effect:
Use the GLC unit’s “Standby Mode,” which automatically turns the
screen OFF when no input is entered within a specified period of
time.
Section 6.3.1 – “System Setup”
• Write “FFFFh” to the System Data Area’s “Screen Display Off” address*2
to turn the screen display OFF when the following actions are not per-
formed within the user-specified period of time.
• Change Screen
• Touch Screen
• Alarm Display
Do NOT display any single screen for a long period of time. Try to
change the screen display periodically.
1. The backlight’s brightness may vary or its lighting may be delayed if the voltage
provided is low — even if still within the range of rated voltage listed in the specifica-
tions. When the voltage is high, the backlight’s lifetime may be shortened. As a rule,
voltage should be within five percent (5%) of rated voltage.
2. The following addresses assume all System Data Area settings are entered. If they are
not all entered, the correct word address may be different, since the following ad-
dresses are relative, not fixed, addresses.
With the Direct Access Method — use System Data Area word address +9
With the Memory Link Method — use System Data Area word address +12

Be aware of the following items when building the GLC into an end-use product:
• The GLC unit’s rear face is not approved as an enclosure. When building the
GLC unit into an end-use product, be sure to use an enclosure that satisfies
standards as the end-use product’s overall enclosure.
• The GLC unit must be used indoors only.
• Install and operate the GLC with its front panel facing outwards.
• If the GLC is mounted so as to cool itself naturally, be sure to install it in a
vertical panel. Also, insure that the GLC is mounted at least 100 mm away
from any other adjacent structures or machine parts. If these conditions are not
met, the heat generated by the GLC unit’s internal components may cause it to
fail to meet UL standards.
• When applying for approval as a component, i.e. building the GLC into an end-
use product, UL evaluation and approval must be obtained for the combination
of the GLC and the end-use product.
