[Design Precautions]
!
DANGER
Some faults of this module may keep the outputs on or off. An external monitoring circuit should
therefore be provided to check for output signals which may lead to a serious accident. Not doing so can cause an accident due to mis-output or misoperation.
If a communication error (including cable disconnection) occurs during monitoring with the GOT,
communication between the GOT and master station is interrupted, disabling operation. When using the GOT to configure a sys tem, as sume that a GOT c ommunicat ion error will occu r and configure a system in which switches used to perform significant operation for the system are provided on any device other than the GOT. Not doing so can cause an accident due to mis-output or misoperation.
Read Chapter 5 “Data Link Processing Time” in the Master Module User’s Manual carefully
regarding the status of each station when the PLC CPU operation is stopped or the dat a link becomes a communication error. Also, configure an interlocking circuit in the sequence program using the communication st atus information (SB and SD) so that the overall system is alw ays maintaine d. An accident may occur by false output or malfunction.
Received data form master or local data link faulty station.
1) Remote input (RX) and remote output This varies depending on the setting of the module’s condition setting switch and input dat a (SW4) of the data link faulty station. OFF : CLEAR (all off) ON : Keeps the data right before the error occurrence.
2) Remote registers (RWw and RWr) The data right before the error is kept regardless of the SW4 setting.

4.1 Monitoring Overview

When the A8GT-J61BT15 is used, the GOT has the following two monitoring methods.
Monitor Method Normal Monitor Dedicated Command Monitor
The remote inputs/outputs and remote registers
Description
of the GOT assigned to the remote device station in the CC-Link parameter setting are specified and monitored.
4
Advantage Data update processing speed is high.
As the remote register assignment area of the
Disadvantage
GOT is small, the number of devices that can be displayed on one screen is small.
MELSEC-GOT
The remote register area is used as the GOT internal device transfer command area to specify and monitor the GOT internal devices.
Data update processing speed is high. Since a dedicated command is executed to develop data in the GOT internal word devices (GD0 to GD1023), multiple pieces of information, such as the operating status, production and operation directives, can be monitored within one screen. (The number of devices that can be displayed on one screen is larger than that of normal monitor.)
A sequence program is needed to execute the
dedicated command.

POINT
• The "terminal resistors" supplied with the Master module must be connected to the modules at both ends of data link. (Connect them across DA-DB.)
• Connect the shield wire of the CC-Link dedicated cable to "SLD" of each module. Since "SLD" is connected to "FG/FG1" internally, always ground the FG terminal and FG1 terminal to the protective ground conductor.
• The FG terminal of the GOT power supply and the FG1 terminal of the A8GT­J61BT15 must be connected separately.
