[Design Precautions]
!
DANGER
Some failures of the GOT main unit, communication module, communication board or cable may
•
keep the outputs on or off.
An external monitoring circuit should be provided to check for output signals which may lead to
a serious accident.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
If a communication fault (including cable disconnection) occurs during monitoring on t he GOT,
•
communication between the GOT and PLC CP U is suspended and t he GOT becomes
inoperative.
For bus connection: The CPU becomes faulty and the GOT inoperative.
For other than bus connection: The GOT becomes inoperative.
A system where the GOT is used should be configured to perform any significant operation to
the system by using the switches of a device other than the GOT on the assumption that a GOT
communication fault will occ ur.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
Do not use the GOT as the warning device that may cause a serious accident.
•
An independent and redundant hardware or mechanical interloc k is required to configure the
device that displays and outputs serious warning.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in an accident due to incorrect output or
malfunction.

[Design Precautions]
!
DANGER
Incorrect operation of the touch switch(s) may lead to a serious accident if the GOT backlight is
•
gone out.
When the GOT backlight goes out, the display section turns black and causes the monitor
screen to appear blank, while the input of the touch swit ch(s) still remains act ive.
This may confuse an operator in thinking that the GOT is in “screensaver” mode, who then tries
to release the GOT from this mode by touching the display section, which may cause a touch
switch to operate.
Note that the following occurs on the GOT when the backlight goes out.
The monitor screen disappears even when the screensaver is not set.
•
The monitor screen will not come back on by t ouching the display section, even if the
•
screensaver is set.
!

1.2 Requirements to match EMC Directives
EMC Directives which are among European Directives become forced.
EMC Directives are those which require "any strong electromagnetic force is not output
to the external.: Emission (electromagnetic interference)" and "It is influenced by the
electromagnetic wave from the external.: Immunity (electromagnetic sensitivity)".
Items 1.2.1 thru 1.2.3 summarize the precautions to use GOT and configure the
mechanical unit in order to match the EMC directives.
Though the data described herein are produced with our best on the basis of the
requirement items and standards of the restrictions gathered by Mitsubishi, they do not
completely guaranteed that all mechanical unit manufactured according to the data do
not always match the above directives. The manufacturer itself which manufactures
the mechanical unit must finally judge the method and others to match the EMC
directives.

1 OVERVIEW
1.2.2 Installation inside Control Box
The GOT is an open type device (device installed to another device) and must be
installed in a conductive control pauel or cabinet.
It not only assu re th e sa fe ty but al so ha s a la r ge effect t o shut dow n the noi se
generated from GOT, on the control panel.
1) Control cabinet
a) Use a conductive control cabinet.
b) When attaching the control cabinet's top plate or base plate, mask painting
and weld so that good surface contact can be made between the cabinet and
plate.
c) To ensure good electrical contact with the control cabinet, mask the paint on
the installation bolts of the inner plate in the control cabinet so that contact
between surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible area.
MELSEC-GOT
d) Earth the control cabinet with a thick wire so that a low impedance connection
to ground can be ensured even at high frequencies. (22mm
recommended.)
e) Holes made in the control cabinet must be 10cm (3.94in.) diameter or less. If
the holes are 10cm (3.94in.) or larger, radio frequency noise may be emitted.
In addition, because radio waves leak through a clearance between the
control panel door and the main unit, reduce the clearance as much as
practicable.
The leakage of radio waves can be suppressed by the direct application of an
EMI gasket on the paint surface.
Our tests have been ca rri ed out on a pan el havi ng th e da mping cha ra c ter i sti cs
of 37 dB max. and 30 dB mean (mea s u red by 3 m meth o d wi th 30 to 300
MHz).

wire or thicker is
2) Connection of power and ground w i r es
Ground and power supply wires for the GOT must be connected as described
below.
a) Provide an earthing point near the GOT. Earth the power supply's LG and FG
terminals (LG : Line Ground, FG : Frame Ground) with the thickest and
shortest wire possible. (The wire length must be 30cm (11.18in.) or shorter.)
The LG and FG terminals function is to pass the noise generated in the PC
system to the ground, so an impedance that is as low as possible must be
ensured. As the wires are used to relieve the noise, the wire itself carries a
large noise content and thus short wiring means that the wire is prevented
from acting as an antenna.
Note) A long condu ct o r will be come a more e ffi cie nt an t enn a at hig h
frequency.
b) The earth wire led from the earthing point must be twisted with the power
supply wires. By twisting with the earthing wire, noise flowing from the power
supply wires can be relieved to the earthing. However, if a filter is installed on
the power supply wires, the wires and the earthing wire may not need to be
twisted.

1 OVERVIEW
1.2.3 Noise filter (power supply line filter)
The noise filter (power supply line filter) is a device effective to reduce conducted
noise. Except some models, installation of a noise filter onto the power supply lines is
not necessary. However co ndu cted noi se can be redu ce d if i t is inst all ed. (The no i se
filter is generally effective for reducing conducted noise in the band of 10MHz or less.)
Usage of the following filters is recommended.
The precautions required when installing a noise filter are described below.
1) Do not bundle the wires on the input side and output side of the noise filter. When
bundled, the output side noise will be induced into the input side wires from which
the noise was fil ter ed .

1.3 Requirements for compliance w i th the Low Voltage Directive
The Low Voltage Directive is mandatory within Europe, effective 1st January 1997.
The Low Voltage Directive requires each device which operates with power supply
ranging from 50VAC to 1000V and 75VDC to 1500V to satisfy necessary safety items.
In the Sections from 1.3.1 to 1.3.5, cautions on installation and wiring of the GOT to
conform to the Low Voltage Directive requires are described.
We have put the maximum effort to develop this material based on the requirements
and standards of the Directive that we have collected. However, compatibility of the
devices which are fabricated according to the contents of this manual to the above
Directive is not guaranteed. Each manufacturer who fabricates such device should
make the final judgement about the application method of the Low Voltage Directive
and the product compatibility.
1.3.1 Standard applied for GOT
The standard applied for GOT is EN61010-1 safety of devices used in measurement
rooms, control rooms, or laboratories.
MELSEC-GOT
1.3.2 Power supply
The insulation specification of the GOT was designed assuming installation category II.
Be sure to use the installation category II power supply to the GOT.
The installation category indicates the durability level against surge voltage generated
by lightning strike. Category I has the lowest durability; category IV has the highest
durability.

1.3.3 Control cabinet
MELSEC-GOT
Because the GOT is op en t y pe equi p men t (a devi ce de si gne d to be sto red wi th in
another module), be sure to use it only when installed in a control cabinet.
1) Electrical shock prevention
In order to such as the operators from electric shocks, the control box must have
the followin g fun c ti on s :
a) The control cabi ne t must be equ ipp ed wi th a lo ck so t ha t only skilled or
qualified personnel.
b) The control cabinet must be fitted with advice which automatically stops the
power supply when the cabinet is opened.
2) Dustproof and waterproof features
The control cabinet also provides protection from dust, water and ether
substances. Insufficient ingression protection may lower the insulation withstand
voltage, resulting in insulation destruction. The insulation in our GOT is designed
to cope with the pollution level 2, so use in an environment with pollustion level 2
or better.
Pollution level 1 :An environment where the air is dry and conductive dust
does not exist.
Pollution level 2 :An environment where conductive dust does not usually
exist, but occasional temporary conductivity occurs due to
the accumulated dust.
Generally , this is the level for in si d e th e co nt rol bo x
equivalent a control room or on the floor of a typical factory.
Pollution level 3 :An environment where conductive dust exits and
conductivity may be generated due to the accumulated
dust.
An environment for a typical factory floor.
Pollution level 4 :Continuous conductivity may occur due to rain, snow, etc.
An outdoor environment.
1.3.4 Grounding
There are two kin d s of g r ounding terminals a s show n be l ow . Bo th ter min al s must be
grounded.
Be sure to ground the grounding for the safety reasons and EMC Directives.

2.5 Unusable Conventional Products
The following conventional products cannot be used with this GOT.
This section describes the notes on the connecting of the Q4ARCPU with the GOT, as
follows:
(1) Notes on the additional base for duplex system at the final stage:
To connect the duplex system with the GOT via the bus, connect the GOT with the
additional base for duplex system (A68RB) that is provided at the final stage of the
duplex system. To use the additional base for duplex system, please apply that of
the Version B or after.
In the following configurations the GOT will not operate normally as specified.
•
(a) The configuration in which the GOT is connected with the fundamental base
for the dupl e x sy stem (A 32 RB , A33 RB ) i s conn e cte d v ia th e bu s.
(b) The configu rat io n in whi ch t he GOT i s conn e cte d wi t h th e additional base
(A68RB) for duplex system of Version A is connected via the bus.

(2) Notes on 5V DC supply for the additional base (A68RB) for duplex system at the
final stage:
220mA of current to be consumed will be supplied from the additional base for
duplex system at the final stage to the GOT bus interface, if the GOT power supply
is off and the power supply for the power supply module mounted on the additional
base for duplex sy ste m at th e fi na l st age is on. Therefore , pl ea se make su re t hat
the 5V DC consumpt i on ( 8A ) of t he pow e r supp ly module will not be e xce ed ed by
the sum of the value of the current consumption of the input/output module and
special function module that are mounted on the additional base for duplex system
at the final stage and the value of the current consumption (220mA) of the GOT

DANGER
CAUTION
• When power is on, do not touch the terminals.
Doing so can cause an electric shock or malfunction.
• Before starting cleaning or terminal screw retightening, always switch off the power
externally in all phases.
Not switching the power off in all phases can cause a module failure or malfunction.
Undertightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the
screws or module.
• Before changing the backlight, always switch off the GOT power externally in all
phases (when the GOT is connected to the bus, the PLC CPU power must also be
switched off externally in all phases) and remove the GOT main unit from the
enclosure.
Not switching the power off in all phases may cause an electric shock.
Not removing the unit from the enclosure can cause injury due to a drop.
• Do not disassemble or modify the module.
Doing so can cause a failure, malfunction, injury or fire.
• Do not touch the conductive and electronic parts of the module directly.
Doing so can cause a module malfunction or failure.
• The cables connected to the module must be run in ducts or clamped.
Not doing so can cause the module or cable to be damaged due to the dangling,
motion or accidental pulling of the cables or can cause a malfunction due to a cable
connection fa ult.
• When unplugging the cable connected to the module, do not hold and pull the cable
portion.
Doing so can cause the module or cable to be damaged or can cause a malfunction
due to a cable connection fault.
• When disposing of the product, handle it as industrial waste.

7.4 Backlight for Liquid Crystal
The GOT contains a backlight for the liquid crystal of the display device.
The luminance of the back light lowers as it is used.
Change the backlight if the screen of the display device has become difficult to look at
due to the reduced luminance of the backlight. (The screen save and back light OFF
functions of the GOT are used to prolong the service life of the back light. For details,
refer to the GOT-A900 Series Operating Manual (GT Works Version5/GT Designer
Version5 compatible Extended·Option Functions Manual).)
The replacement backlight changes with the GOT type. The backlights that may be
used with the GOTs are as follows.

8.5 Troubleshooting in bus connection
If a cause cannot be located by the troubleshooting procedures specified in section 8.2
when the GOT is bus-connected to the PLC CPU, troubleshoot the cause as follows.
8.5.1 Locating error positions
(1) How to locate error positions:
(a) Use of peripheral devi ces
Using the peripheral devices such as GX Developer, check what type of the
error occurs on the PLC CPU and, based on the error message on the PLC
CPU and the check points (See item (2) below), check each module and
cable for installation and earthing statuses.
(b) Error timing
Check the timing of errors.
1) An error occurs when the power is turned on or immediately after the
PLC is reset:
The error may be detected by the initial processing of the PLC CPU.
In this case, because the faulty module may not be identified, use only
an END instruction for the sequence program and remove the modules
one by one until the error does not occur.
When the error is eliminated after a specific module has been removed,
the module may be causing the error.
MELSEC-GOT
2) An error occurs after a specific operation or several seconds:
The error may occur in the sequence program. Check the error step
where the error may occur and the sequence program in that step.
The sequence program can be diagnosed throughout by merely using an
END instruction for the sequence program.
3) An error occurs when a specific device operates:
The mis-operation may be caused by noise.
Check that any signal line such as bus cable is not laid out too close to
the operating device. If the line is too close to the device, separate the
line 100 mm or more from the device.
(c) Locating the module wher e an er r or occurs :
Based on the PLC CPU error codes and special resister information (See
item (2)), locate a specific module where an error occurs.
By the method stated above, correct the sequence program or replace the faulty
module with a new one, and check whether the error occurs.
If the error continues to occur, it may have another cause.
Referring to section 8.5.2, locate the error position further.

operation may be caused by
noise.)

8.5.2 Further locating error positions
If the function of the PLC cannot be recovered even when the module on which an
error occurs is replaced with a new one, the error may be caused by the effect from
another module.
Disconnect the extension cables and bus connection cables in order from the modules
starting from the module located furthest from the operating position in the system, and
check for the status of occurrence of the error each time the cables are disconnected
until the error does not occur.
The module or extension cables/bus-connection cables disconnected immediately
before the error does not occur are considered to cause the error.
Examples of the ways of further locating error positions are shown below.
MELSEC-GOT
Example 1:
Turn off the power of the GOT.
Turn off the power of the PLC CPU.
Disconnect the bus-connection cable
(IN side) from the final stage GOT.
Turn on the power of the PLC CPU.
Reset the PLC CPU.
Turn on the power of the GOT.
If an error does not occur, the final
stage GOT may be faulty.
Example 2:
Turn off the power of the GOT.
Turn off the power of the PLC CPU.
Disconnect the bus-connection cable
(OUT side) fr o m the GOT loca ted one
stage before the final stage.
Turn on the power of the PLC CPU.
Reset the PLC CPU.
Turn on the power of the GOT.
If an error does not occur, the final
stage GOT and the bus-connection
cable before the final stage may be
faulty.
Repeat the e xampl e s 1 an d 2 ab ove to locate er ror po sitions.

instruction for the sequence program, and any error resulting from the sequence
program will not occur, and the status of occurrence of errors will be obtained
easily.
When the frequency of occurrence of an error is low, check the error by taking a
