GT11 Series Graphic Operation Terminal (GOT) hardware and firmware for
use with an FX Series PLC.
Hardware Introduction:
The GT11 Series are 5.7”, 320 x 240 dot resolution, three built-in
communication channel GOT1000 Series touch panel interfaces. GT11
Series terminals also have Compact Flash card interfaces and a Reset button

GT1155-QSBD 256 Color STN
GT1150-QLBD 16-gradient Grayscale STN
USB (slave)
RS-232C
RS-422 24V DC
For new GT11** Series terminals, included in the box should be the

All GT11 Series GOTs require an external 24V DC
power supply to be connected to the Power Terminals on the
back of the GOT.
Communication

Communication Expansion Board.
Programming Cables:
The GT11 Series GOTs come pre-installed with an OS only without
any project data. To download a project from a PC running GT Designer2 to
the GOT, a programming cable is required to connect the PC to one of the
communication interfaces. For a new out-of-the-box GOT, the easiest way to
connect to the GOT is through the USB Mini-B type port on the front panel
with a standard USB cable. After setting up the GOT communication settings
from the GOT main menu or with GT Designer2, the RS-422 and RS-232C
interfaces can also be used for program transfer. Connection via USB is
shown below.

Example Connection Diagram:
The following is an example of an FX-to-GOT-to-PC connection, where
the blue lines indicate data communication and the red line indicates power
from the FX3U 24V DC service power supply.
Firmware Updates:
To make sure the GT11 Series GOT
is able to use the latest functions and
features, it is the responsibility of the user to
check and update the firmware (Standard
monitor OS) of the GOT.
Launch the latest copy of GT Designer2 and
start a new project for the GOT model “GT11**-Q(320x240)” with the
“MELSEC-FX” Controller Type. Select
“Yes” to set the Communication Setting
and make sure the Standard I/F-1 or
Standard I/F-2 CH No. is set to 1,
depending on RS-422 or RS-232C
connection, before selecting “OK”. The
“Screen Property” window that pops up for
making a new screen can be either
canceled or accepted for the following
steps.
Go to the “Communication” menu and

“Communicate with GOT” window. Go to the “Communication configuration”
tab and select “USB”. With the GOT power ON, use the “Test” button to verify
that the PC and GOT can communicate properly.
Go to the “OS Install -> GOT” tab in the
“Communicate with GOT” window of GT
Designer2 and select “Standard monitor
OS” and “Communication driver” –
“MELSEC-FX [**.**.**]” from the data
selection tree. Use the “Install” button to
initiate the data transfer and update the
firmware. Once the firmware update has
been completed the GOT will
automatically reboot and all features will
be up to date. Note that new project data
will need to be downloaded to the GOT.
Confirm Communication
Before downloading project data to the GOT, the I/O Check function
can be used to verify that the GOT is communicating properly with the PLC.
After pressing the “CPU” button, if no error is shown, communication has
been set up correctly.
