[Design Precautions]
!DANGER
•Some failures of the GOT main unit, communication module, communication board or cable may
keep the outputs on or off.
An external monitoring circuit should be provided to check for output signals which may lead to
a serious accident.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
•If a communication fault (including cable disconnection) occurs during monitoring on the GOT,
communication between the GOT and PLC CPU is suspended and the GOT becomes
inoperative.
For bus connection : The CPU becomes faulty and the GOT inoperative.
For other than bus connection : The GOT becomes inoperative.
A system where the GOT is used should be configured to perform any significant operation to
the system by using the switches of a device other than the GOT on the assumption that a GOT
communication fault will occur.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
•Do not use the GOT as the warning device that may cause a serious accident.
An independent and redundant hardware or mechanical interlock is required to configure the
device that displays and outputs serious warning.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in an accident due to incorrect output or
malfunction.

A - 2 A - 2
[Design Precautions]
!DANGER
•Incorrect operation of the touch switch(s) may lead to a serious accident if the GOT backlight is
gone out.
When the GOT backlight goes out, the display section turns black and causes the monitor
screen to appear blank, while the input of the touch switch(s) still remains active.
This may confuse an operator in thinking that the GOT is in “screensaver” mode, who then tries
to release the GOT from this mode by touching the display section, which may cause a touch
switch to operate.
Note that the following occurs on the GOT when the backlight goes out.
•The monitor screen disappears even when the screensaver is not set.
•The monitor screen will not come back on by touching the display section, even if the
screensaver is set.
!CAUTION
•Do not bundle the control and communication cables with main-circuit, power or other wiring.
Run the above cables separately from such wiring and keep them a minimum of 100mm apart.
Not doing so noise can cause a malfunction.
[Mounting Precautions]
!DANGER
•Before installing or removing the GOT main unit to or from an enclosure, always switch off the
GOT power externally in all phases.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or malfunction.
•Before loading or unloading the communication board, communication module or memory board
to or from the GOT, always switch off the GOT power externally in all phases.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or malfunction.
!CAUTION
•The GOT should be used in the environment given in the general specifications of the GOT
user's manual.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or deterioration.
•When mounting the GOT main unit to an enclosure, tighten the mounting screws in the specified
torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the screws
or module.

A - 3 A - 3
[Mounting Precautions]
!CAUTION
•When loading the communication board or communication module to the GOT main unit, 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 the damage of the screws or
module.
•When loading the memory board into the GOT main unit, load it into its corresponding GOT slot
and tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
Overtightening can cause a malfunction due to the damage of the screws or module.
•When loading the PC card into the GOT main unit, insert and push it into its corresponding GOT
slot until the PC card eject button comes up.
Not doing so can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
•Before loading or unloading the PC card to or from the GOT, set the memory card access switch
to the OFF position.
Not doing so can cause the PC card data to be corrupted.
•When taking out the PC card, hold it with one hand and remove.
If removed without a hand support, the PC card may drop, resulting in breakage or damage.
[Wiring Precautions]
!DANGER
•Before starting wiring, always switch off the GOT power externally in all phases.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock, product damage or malfunction.
!CAUTION
•Please make sure to ground FG terminal, LG terminal, and protective ground terminal of the
GOT power supply unit by applying Class D Grounding (Class 3 Grounding Method) or higher
which is used exclusively for the GOT.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock or malfunction.
•Correctly wire the power supply module on the GOT after confirming the rated voltage and
terminal arrangement of the product.
Not doing so can cause a fire or failure.
•Tighten the terminal screws of the GOT power supply section in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the screws or
module.
•Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire offcuts entering the module.
Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

A - 4 A - 4
[Wiring Precautions]
!CAUTION
•Plug the bus connection cable by inserting it into the connector of the connected module until it
"clicks".
After plugging, check that it has been inserted snugly.
Not doing so can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
•Plug the communication cable into the connector of the connected module and tighten the
mounting and terminal screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the screws or
module.
