conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal
injury or physical damage.
WARNING
CAUTION

A-2
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
If a communication fails in data link, the faulty station holds the data link data
generated before the communication error. Create an interlock circuit in the
sequence program using the communication status information in order that
the system will operate safely.
Check the faulty station and the operation status during communication error
by referring to the relevant manuals.
Some failures of cable or communication unit may cause the GOT to keep the
outputs on or off.
Create an external circuit for monitoring output signals that may lead to
serious accidents.
Failure to do so may cause mis-outputs or malfunctions, resulting in
accidents.
If a communication error (including cable disconnection) occurs during
monitoring, the communication between the GOT and PLC CPU may be
interrupted and the GOT may be inoperative.
For bus connection : The PLC CPU is down and the GOT is inoperative.
For other than above: The GOT is inoperative.
When configuring a system including the GOT, the possibility of GOT
communication error must be considered; make sure the operation significant
for the system will be performed by switches on devices other than the GOT.
Failure to do so may cause mis-outputs or malfunctions, resulting in
accidents.
To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the GOT
and the system against unauthorized access, DoS*1 attacks, computer
viruses, and other cyberattacks from unreliable networks and devices via
network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls, virtual private networks
(VPNs), and antivirus solutions.
Mitsubishi Electric shall have no responsibility or liability for any problems
involving GOT trouble and system trouble by unauthorized access, DoS
attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks.
*1 DoS: A denial-of-service (DoS) attack disrupts services by overloading
systems or exploiting vulnerabilities, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS)
state.
WARNING

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
Do not install the communication cables together with the main circuit or
power lines, or bring them close to each other. The distance of 100mm
(3.9inch) or more should be ensured. Failure to do so may cause
malfunctions due to noise.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system
before mounting or removing this unit to/from the GOT.
Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.
Use this unit in the environment given in the general specifications of the
GT15 User's Manual.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage
or deterioration.
When installing this unit to the GOT, fit it to the connection interface of the
GOT and tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction due to screw or unit
damage.
Do not directory touch the conductive part or electronic components of the
unit.
This may cause the unit to fail or malfunction.

Make sure to securely connect the cable to the connector of unit.
Incorrect connection may cause malfunctions.
Make sure to fix communication cables and power cables to the unit by ducts
or clamps. Failure to do so may cause damage of the unit or the cables due to
accidental pull or unintentional shifting of the cables, or malfunctions due to
poor contact of the cables.
Do not hold the cable by hand and pull it out from the unit.
When removing the cable from the unit, make sure to hold the connector by
hand and pull it.
Failure to do so may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit or cable.
Solder the coaxial cable connector correctly.
Incomplete soldering may cause a malfunction.
Do not touch the connector while power is on.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or malfunctions.
Before starting cleaning, always shut off GOT power externally in all phases.
Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.

[TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS]
Do not disassemble or modify any unit.
This will cause failure, malfunction, injuries, or fire.
Do not touch the conductive areas and electronic parts of thisunit directly.
Doing so can cause a unit malfunction or failure.
Do not change the switch settings while power is on.
This may cause failures or malfunctions.
Make sure to externally shut off all phases of the power supply before
cleaning the unit and retightening unit mounting screws.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail or malfunction.
Loose tightening may cause a fall of the unit, short circuits, or malfunctions.
Overtightening may damage the screws and/or the unit, resulting in a fall of
the unit, short circuits or malfunctions.
Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity
charged in the body, etc., before touching the unit.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the unit.
Dispose of this product as industrial waste.
Make sure to transport the GOT main unit and/or relevant unit(s) in the
manner they will not be exposed to the impact exceeding the impact
resistance described in the general specifications of the GT15 User's Manual,
as they are precision devices.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail.
Check if the unit operates correctly after transportation.

1. Overview
This manual explains the GT15 MELSECNET/10 communication unit (hereinafter
referred to as GT15-75J71LP23-Z/GT15-75J71BR13-Z), i.e., the specifications,
switch settings and how to mount onto the GOT.
The GT15-75J71LP23-Z and GT15-75J71BR13-Z allow the GOT 1000 series to
function as a normal station (MELSECNET/10 connection) in the MELECNET/10
network system (PLC to PLC network).
After unpacking each product package, check if the following items are contained.
<GT15-75J71LP23-Z>
<GT15-75J71BR13-Z>
*1 : In the case of coaxial-type network system, terminal resistors must
be attached to both terminal stations of the network. The A9GT-
QJ71BR13 does not include terminal resistors (A6RCON-R75:75 ).
Therefore, they should be prepared by the user.
A network unit (A9GT-QJ71LP23 or A9GT-QJ71BR13) can be connected to the
GOT with the GT15-75IF900, which can perform monitoring as a normal station in
the MELSECNET/10 network system (PLC to PLC network).

5. Precautions for Laying Cables
5.1 Precautions for cable connection (A9GT-QJ71LP23)
(1) The distance between stations varies depending on the type of
optical fiber cable used.
(2) When connecting an optical fiber cable, the following restrictions on
the bending radius must be observed.
For further details, please ask the supplier where you parchase the
cable.
(3) When laying the optical fiber cable, do not touch the fiber core of the
cable connector or module connector, or let dirt or dust collect on it.
If oil from the hands, dirt or dust should adhere to the core, the
transmission loss will increase, causing a malfunction in the data
link.
(4) When attaching or detaching the optical-fiber cable to/from the
module, hold the cable connector securely with the hands.
(5) Connect the cable connector and module connector securely until
you hear a "click" sound.
(6) Please wire IN/OUT of the connector for the cable correctly.
After wiring, perform a loop test or station-to-station test or others to
confirm if the setting and wiring of A9GT-QJ71LP23 have been done
properly.
