[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.
If a communication error (including cable disconnection) occurs while monitoring on the GOT,
communication between the GOT and PLC CPU is suspended, and the GOT becomes inoperative
as described below:
(1) GT1155-QSBD, GT1150-QLBD: Become inoperative
(2) PLC CPU shuts down and the GOT becomes inoperative.
For the system configuration with GOT, assuming communication error occurs in the GOT, the
switches for critical operation to the system should be set in the device other than GOT. False output
or malfunction may occur.
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.
WARNING
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
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 POWER LED flickers (green/orange) and the display section
turns black and causes the monitor screen to appear blank, while the input of the touch switch(s)
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 POWER LED flickers (green/orange) and the monitor screen appears blank
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 (3.94in.)
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.
WARNING
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or
removing the GOT to/from the panel.
Not doing so can cause the unit to fail or malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or
removing the option function board on to/from the GOT.
