[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
0 A malfunction in theGOT main module, communication module, bus connection module, com-
munication cable, and bus connection cable may keep the outputON or
OFF. Add a circuit to
externally monitor the
output which could lead to aserious accident.
An accident may occur by afalse output or a malfunction.
0 If a communicationerror (including by a disconnectedcable) occurs while the monitor is running
on theGOT, the communication between theGOT and thePC CPU is interrupted, and theGOT
stops running.
When using the bus connection:PC CPUgoes downand the GOT stops running.
When not using the bus connection:GOT is notoperational.
For
a system configuration using aGOT, design the system such that the crucial switching to the
system is performed by the equipmentother thanthe GOT with the assumption that a communi-
cation error could occur in theGOT.
An accident may occur by afalse output or a malfunction.

I
0 Regardless the touch-switch fwwticm is setorn~t, w)sentnndt@le touch switches (two places or
more) are pressed.simultaneouslyas shown in the following diagram, the
GOT is designed to
execute a pre-defined operation of the touch switch if a touch switch function is deMci at the
fourth vertex ofthe rectangle.
When three touch swiches are Dressed: Whenfour touch swiches are Dressed:Whenfour touch swiches are Dressed:
: Indicatestouches position. 0 : Indicates the switch recognized by the GOT.
# : Indicatesa touch switch. : Indicatesthe touch switch that executesthe set action.
When multiple touch switches are pressedsimuttaneously under the conditions describedabove,
make sure
that the system works safely by carefullyconsidahg the location of each touch switch
function and addingan interlock circuit to the write deviceusing a sequence program, etc.
A malfunction might cause a breakdown, accident, ordamage to the machine.
ACAUTDN-
communication cables and bus connection cables with the main circuit or
power wires, or install them close to eachother. They should be installed lo0 mm (3.9 inch) or
more from each other,
Failure to do so may result in noise that would cause malfunctioning.
[INSTALIATION PRECAUTIONS]

the GOT wtside the range of the general specifications may result in electric shock, fire or
malfunctioning,or may damage or degrade the module.
0 Tighten the attachment screws for installing the GOT main module to the base within therange of
specified toque.
If the attachment screwsare loose,
it may result in fallout, short circuits, or malfunctions.
Tightening
the attachment screwes too far may causedamagesto thescrews and/or the module,
resulting in fallout, short circuits,or malfunctions.
0 When usinga bus connection, bus connection cables should besecurely connected to the con-
nectors of the bus connection module, bus connector conversion module, and base unit.After
connecting the connector, check tomake sure they are securely
tightened and not loose. Defec-
tive contact could cause a false inputand output.
0 The communication cable should be connected securely to the connector on the communica-
tions module andPC CPU side. After connecting the connector, check to make sure theyare
securely tightened and notloose. Defective contact could cause afalse input and output.
0 When the power supply module, communication module, bus connection module, and the op-
tional moduleare installed to the GOT main module, attach themto the GOT attachment part by
aligning to the screwguide, then tighten the module fixed screws within the rangeof specified
torque.

7. Overview MELSEC GOT
This manual describes the specifications, handling procedures, and utility functions for the A87OGOT
Graphic Operation Terminal (hereafter abbreviatedas GOT).
1 .I Features
The GOT can be used as an electronic operation panel in which all functions carried out on
conventional operation panels can be done on a monitor screen, including switch operations,
lamp displays, data display, and message displays.
Other functions which can be done with the
GOT are circuit monitoring of the PC CPU, monitoring and
changing device data, and monitoring and changing the buffer memory
of the special functions module.
[Ih Three types of display modules available, to match user specifications
There are threetypes of display modules available, a2-color EL model , an 8-color STN
liquid crystal color model, and 15-color TFT liquid crystal color model. The differences
between thesetwo models are shown below.The user can select whichever model best
fits the specifications at hand.

a Use of free-location touch keys
Touch keys canbe freely positioned at any location, in 1 -dot units. In addition, the mini-
mum module forthe key size is thewidth of one full-width character (16 dots
x 16 dots).
This givesthe user greater freedom in creating monitor screens.
GOT CPU contains a 32-bit RISC*' chip
The GOT containsa 32-bit RISC chip, whichis used in combination with a32-bit local bus
for high-speed processing. This significantly reduces the amount of time requiredto switch
monitor screens, refresh data displays, and fortouch keys to respond.

1. Overview MELSK: GOT
Improved maintenance access and resistance to cwprir#mantJtw I
The GOT is equipped with backlights thatuse a liquid crystal display andare designed
so that they can be replaced by the user. (A replacementbacklight is available as an
option.) In addition, the GOT isconfigured of
a main display module, a power supply
module, and a communicationsmodule which connect to the PC CPU. This modular
configuration makes maintenancemuch easier when requiredby
any of the modules.

MELSECNET connections
In addition to bus connections which enable high-speed communications, the following are
also possible. This provides the user with unlimited flexibility in system configuration.
The connection interface required dependson the configuration being used.

@ Bus connections (requires the A7GT-BUS/A7GT-BUS2/A7GT-BUSS, A7GT-BUS2S
I/F module)
This configuration offers the fastest PC CPU response speed. Ifa large-sized PC CPU is
connected, theGOT can be installedup to
36.6 m (1 20 feet) from the main base. Witha
smaller PC CPU, the GOT can be installed as far
as 30m (98 feet) from the main base. In
addition, upto three GOT modules can be connectedto asingle PC CPU. (There may
be
times when only two GOT modules can be connected, depending on the type ofPC CPU.)
