SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•

(Always read these instructions before using this equipment.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual
carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly.
The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product. For the safety instructions of the
programmable controller system, please read the CPU module user's manual.
In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

•

DANGER

!

CAUTION

!

Note that the !CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to t he circumstances.
Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal safety.

Please save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forw ard it to the end user.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical damage.

[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.

A - 1 A - 1

[Design Precautions]

!

CAUTION

Do not bundle control lines or communication cables with the main circuit, power or other lines

•

or lay them near these lines.
As a guideline, separate the cables at least 100mm(3.94inch).
Not doing so can cause misoperation due to noise.

[Mounting Precautions]

!

DANGER

Before mounting or dismounting the module to or from the GOT, always switch off GOT power

•

externally in all phases.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or misoperation.

!

CAUTION

Use this module in an environment that conforms to the general specifications given in the G OT

•

user's manual.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, misoperation, or product damage or deterioration.

When mounting the module to the GOT, tighten the module fixing screws within the specified

•

torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or misoperation.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or misoperation due to damaged screws or module.

[Wiring Precautions]

!

DANGER

Before starting wiring work, always switch GOT power off externally in all phases.

•

Not doing so can cause an electric shock, product damage or misoperation.

!

CAUTION

When switching power on or starting operation after mounting, wiring or other work, always fit

•

the terminal cover supplied to the product.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, short circuit or failure.

Always ground the FG terminal of the GOT power supply and the FG1 termial of this module to

•

the protective ground conducter.
Be sure to ground the GOT and this module separately.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock or misoperation.

A - 2 A - 2

[Wiring Precautions]

!

CAUTION

Before wiring the module, confirm the rated voltage and terminal arrangement of the product.

•

A fire or failure can occur if the power supply connected is different from the rating or wiring is
incorrect.

Tighten the terminal screws within the specified torque range.

•

Undertightening can cause a short circuit or misoperation.
Overtightening can cause a short circuit or misoperation due to damaged screws or module.

Ensure that foreign matters such as chips and wire off-cuts do not enter the module.

•

They can cause a fire, failure or misoperation.

Always secure the communication cables connected to the module, e.g. run them in conduits or

•

clamp them.
Not doing so can damage the module or cables due to dangling, moved or accidentally pulle d
cables or can cause misoperation due to cable contact fault.

Do not hold the cable part when unplugging the communication cable connected to t he module.

•

Disconnect the cable after loosening the screw in the part connected t o the module.
If you pull the cable connected to the module, the module or cable can be damaged or
misoperation can occur due to cable connection fault.

[Startup/Maintenance Precautions]

!

DANGER

Do not touch the terminals while power is on.

•

Doing so can cause an electric shock or misoperation.

Before starting cleaning or terminal screw retightening, always switch power off externally in all

•

phases.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or misoperation.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or misoperation.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or misoperation due to damaged screws or module.

!

CAUTION

Do not disassemble or modify the module.

•

Doing so can cause a failure, misoperation, injury or fire.

Do not touch the conductive areas and electronic parts of the module.

•

Doing so can cause the module to misoperate or fail.

Do not change any switch setting while power is on.

•

Doing so can cause a failure or misoperation.

The module is made of resin. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impact.

•

Doing so can damage the module.

Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body,

•

etc., before touching the module.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the module.

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.

The GOT can input (e.g. touch key function) data to only the remote inputs (RX)

to the other remote inputs (RX) and remote registers (RWr).

(2) Dedicated command monitor method

The remote register (write area) data is stored in the GOT internal device using
dedicated commands and monitoring is performed.

2) When the GOT request flag is turned on, the write com-mand
data and write data are stored in the GOT
remote registers, and the write data is stored in the
GOT internal device.

3) The data in the GOT internal device where the write

Repeat steps 1) and 2) to execute the write command,
and write several information to the GOT internal de-vice
