[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
z Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with
the main circuit or power wires, or lay them close to each other.
As a guide, separate the lines by a distance of at least 100 mm
(3.94 inch) otherwise malfunctions may occur due to noise.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
z Be sure to shut off all phases of the e xter na l pow e r su pp ly used
by the system before mounting or removing this unit to/from the
GOT.
Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.
z Before connecting the Bus connection cable to this unit, always
shut off GOT power and PLC CPU power externally in all
phases.Not doing so can cause a malfunction.
CAUTION
z Use this unit in the environment given in the general
specifications of the GT15 User's Manual.Not doing so can
cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or
deterioration.
z When installing this unit to the GOT, 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
screw or unit damage.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
z Be sure to shut off all phases of the e xter na l pow e r su pp ly used
by the system before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in an electric shock, product damage
or malfunctions.
CAUTION
z Use crimp-contact, pressure-displacement or soldering to wire
the connectors for external connections properly using the
manufacturer-specified tools.
If the connection is incomplete, it may cause the module to short
circuit, catch fire, or malfunction.
z Connect the connectors to the unit securely.
z Always secure the cables connected to the unit, e.g. run them in
conduits or clamp them.
Not doing so can cause unit or cable damage due to dangling,
moved or accidentally pulled cables or can cause a malfunction
due to a cable contact fault.
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
z Before starting cleaning, always shut off GOT power externally
in all phases. Not doing so can cause a unit failure or
malfunction.
CAUTION
z Do not disassemble or modify any unit.
This will cause failure, malfunction, injuries, or fire.
z Do not touch the conductive areas and electronic parts of this
unit directly.
Doing so can cause a unit malfunction or failure.
z Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire
offcuts entering the unit.
Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.
z Do not hold the cable part when unplugging any cable
connected to the unit. Doing so can cause unit or cable damage
or a malfunction due to a cable contact fault.
z Always make sure to touch the grounded met al to discha rge the
electricity charged in the body, etc., before touching the unit.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the unit.
[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
z Dispose of this product as industrial waste.
[TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
z Make sure to transport the GOT main unit and /or relevan t unit(s)
in the manner they will not be exposed to the impact exceeding
the impact resistance described in the general specifications of
the GT15 User's Manual, as they are precision devices.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail.
Check if the unit operates correctly after transportation.

Compliance with the EMC and Low Voltage
Directives
When incorporating the Mitsubishi GOT into other machinery or
equipment and keeping compliance with the EMC and low voltage
directives, refer to Chapter 4, "EMC Directives and Low Voltage
Directives" of the manual (GT15 General Description) included
with the GOT used.
The CE logo is printed on the rating plate of the GOT, indicating
compliance with the EMC and low voltage directives.
By making this product conform to the EMC directive and low
voltage instruction,it is not necessary to make those steps
individually.

*1 This depends on the specifications of the Ethernet network sys-
tem to which the GOT is connected.
For the details, refer to the manual of Ethernet module of connected PLC.
*2 If multiple network equipme nts (including GOT) are connected
within a segment, the network load would increase.
In such condition, the communication performance between GOT
and PLC may be declined.
The decline of the communication performance may be improved
by the following measures.
• Using switching hubs.
• Reducing the number of monitoring devices of the GOT.

4. Installation Procedure
(1) Power off the GOT.
(2) Remove the one extension unit covers of the GOT.
(3) Fit the Ethernet communication unit along th e groove
of the GOT case.
(4) Fasten the Ethernet communication unit by tig htening
its mounting screws (2 places) with tightening torque
0.36 to 0.48 N•m.
(5) When mounting an Ethernet communication unit on
the outer layer, remove the connector cover and the
seal.
When not mounting any communication unit on the
outer layer, stick accessory labels on the top of
mounting screws (2 places) to cover the top of them
in order to avoid receiving electrostatic.
Keep the connector cover fixed.
Keep the seal stuck as it is.
