[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
●Some failures of the GOT or cable may keep the outputs on or off. Some failures of a touch panel may
cause malfunction of the input objects such as a touch switch. 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.
●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. Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
●When the GOT detects its backlight failure, the GOT disables the input operation on the touch
switch(s). Thus, operators cannot operate the GOT with touches. The GOT backlight failure can be
checked with a system signal of the GOT.
●Even when the display section has dimmed due to a failure of the liquid crystal section or the backlight
on the GOT, the input operation of the touch switches may still be enabled. This may cause an
incorrect operation of the touch switches. For example, if an operator assumes that the display
section has dimmed because of the screen save function and touches the display section to cancel
the screen save, a touch switch may be activated.
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury or
physical damage.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
●The display section of the GOT is an analog-resistive type touch panel. Simultaneous pressing of two
or more areas on the display section may activate the switch between those areas. Do not press two
or more areas simultaneously on the display section. Doing so may cause an accident due to incorrect
output or malfunction.
●When programs or parameters of the controller (such as a PLC) that is monitored by the GOT are
changed, be sure to shut off the power of the GOT promptly and power on the GOT again. 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. 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.
●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.
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.
●Do not press the GOT display section with a pointed material as a pen or driver. Doing so can result in
a damage or failure of the display section.
●When the GOT is connected to the Ethernet network, the available IP address is restricted according
to the system configuration.
When multiple GOTs are connected to the Ethernet network:
Do not set the IP address (192.168.3.18) for the GOTs and the controllers in the network.
When a single GOT is connected to the Ethernet network:
Do not set the IP address (192.168.3.18) for the controllers except the GOT in the network.
Doing so can cause the IP address duplication. The duplication can negatively affect the
communication of the device with the IP address (192.168.3.18). The operation at the IP address
duplication depends on the devices and the system.
●Turn on the controllers and the network devices to be ready for communication before they
communicate with the GOT. Failure to do so can cause a communication error on the GOT.
●When the GOT is subject to shock or vibration, or some colors appear on the screen of the GOT, the
screen of the GOT might flicker.

[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
●For the analog-resistive film type touch panels, normally the adjustment is not required.
However, the difference between a touched position and the object position may occur as the period
of use elapses. When any difference between a touched position and the object position occurs,
execute the touch panel calibration.
●When any difference between a touched position and the object position occurs, other object may be
activated. This may cause an unexpected operation due to incorrect output or malfunction.
WARNING
●If the SD card mounted on drive A of the GOT is removed while the GOT is accessed, processing for
the GOT might be interrupted about for 20 seconds. The GOT cannot be operated during this period.
The functions that run in the background including a screen updating, alarm, logging, scripts, and
others are also interrupted. Since this interruption makes an impact to the system operation, it might
cause failure. After inhibiting access to the SD card on the GOT utility screen, check that the SD card
access LED is off and remove the SD card.
CAUTION
●If the data storage mounted on the GOT is removed while the GOT is accessed, the data storage and
files are damaged. To remove the data storage from the GOT, check that the access to the data
storage in SD card access LED, the system signal, and others is not performed.
●When removing the SD card from the GOT, make sure to support the SD card by hand as it may pop
out. Failure to do so may cause the SD card to drop from the GOT, resulting in a failure or break.
●Before removing the USB device from the GOT, follow the procedure for removal on the utility screen
of the GOT. After the successful completion dialog is displayed, remove the USB device by hand
carefully. Failure to do so may cause the USB device to drop from the GOT, resulting in a failure or
