Installation and Wiring
GT10/GT30 2.1 Installation
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Installation Environment
When installing and using the GT series, always make sure the following conditions are
observed.
Usage Conditions
When installing the product, make sure it is used within the range of the general
specifications. Do not use in the following environments:
– Areas where the unit may come in contact with water (the unit is warranted by
IP65 for the installed panel, but this applies to initial values and operation cannot
be guaranteed in areas where the unit is constantly subjected to water or to
extreme temperatures or humidity).
– Areas where the ambient temperature exceeds the range 0°C to 40°C/32°F to
104°F (0°C to 50°C/32°F to 122°F for the GT30).
– Areas where the ambient humidity exceeds 20% RH to 85% RH.
– If the control panel and other parts are installed in an environment where the air
tends to be poorly ventilated, forced cooling should be used to keep the ambient
temperature of the from going over 40°C/104°F (50°C/122°F for the GT30). This
prevents the temperature of the GT display unit from rising.
– Locations where condensation may form because of sudden fluctuations in
temperature.
– Locations where flammable or corrosive gases are present.
– Locations where there are high concentrations of dust or iron filings.
– Locations where substances such as organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.) or
strong alkali substances (ammonia, caustic soda, etc.) might adhere to the
product.
– Locations where the product is subject to extreme vibration and/or impact.
– Avoid installing the product near high–voltage lines, high–voltage devices, power
lines, power devices, amateur radio sets and other transmitters, and devices that
generate strong current surges.
– Avoid locations where the display unit is subject to direct sunlight.
Safety Precautions
– The switch functions of the programmable display unit should not be used to
design systems which may pose a threat to human life or which may cause
severe injury or damage. Designs should include safety mechanisms for use in
the event that switch functions do not function correctly.
Power Supply Wiring
– For the power supply, use twisted wire (strand wire).
– There is sufficient noise resistance to offset power line noise, but we recommend
reducing noise by measures such as installing an insulated transformer.
16
GT10/GT30 2.1 Installation
– Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the
operating unit.
Static Electricity/Noise
– Keep the GT10/GT30 main unit, PLC connecting cable, and other wiring as far
away as possible from machines which are likely to produce noise (welding
equipment, power lines, inverters, motors, etc.).
– For use in environments where the frequent occurrence of static electricity,
radiation, or induced noise can be expected, the use of shielded cable on all
wiring and grounding of shield (1–point ground) is recommended. When wiring
the equipment, shielded wires should be electrically insulated to signal lines and
signal grounds.
– If excessive static electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unit
may be damaged.
Battery Service Life
– The service life of the internal battery will be radically shortened if used
continually in ambient operating temperatures of more than 40°C/104°F
(50°C/122°F for the GT30) or when the operating voltage exceeds 25V DC. Use
caution when using the clock and device hold area functions.
Other Precautions
– Do not leave the GT10 connected to the TOOL port of the FP Programmer II.
– Always operate the touch panel with your fingers. Excessive load (about 98
2
N/cm
) or impact (operating with tools, etc.) will cause damage. Touch panel
operation must be within the standard operating power range. Uniform pressure
should be used to avoid abnormal wear of electrodes which may disable
operation. Operate the unit only by touch.
– Never dismantle, re–assemble, or alter the unit. Performance cannot be
warranted if this precaution is disregarded.
2.1.2 GT10 Installation Method
Secure the GT10 to the installation panel using the four fittings and four screws
provided with the unit.
(1) Place the GT10 main unit in the installation panel.
17

Use twisted wiring for the power supply
In order to minimize influence from noise, the wiring for the power supply should be
twisted.
Insulate the power supply inside a protective circuit
– In order to protect the unit against abnormal voltage from the power supply line, the
power supply should be an insulated type, and should be enclosed within a protective
circuit.
– A non–insulated regulator is used with the GT series.
– If a power supply device without an internal protective circuit is being used, power
should always be supplied to the GT series through a fuse or a similar protective device.
Keep the power supply voltage within the operating voltage range
Operating voltage range 21.6 to 26.4V DC
Use M3 crimp terminals
– The terminal screws are M3 screws. We recommend using crimp terminals for wiring

Boot GTWIN, and select “Transfer” on the “File” menu.
When the transfer function is selected, a dialog box for file transfer is displayed.
At this point, specify the type of data to be transferred, and the direction of
transfer.
Transfer data: “GT30 Configuration”
Transfer direction: “GTWIN → GT main unit”
Enter the above conditions and click on the “OK” button. The system files are
transferred to the GT30.

If the transfer has been completed without any problems, the setup is completed.
CAUTION
Backup of the GT30 Configuration file
The GT30 Configuration file is stored in the user memory (F–ROM) of
the GT30. This file is deleted if the memory is initialized using the
command on the system menu of the GT30 main unit (see page 130),
and will have to be transferred again.

3.4 Setting the Basic Communication Area, GT30 and PLC
3.4.1 What is the Basic Communication Area?
Communication between the GT30 and PLC is carried out as shown below.
Basic communication area
For screen switching settings and system
control
Ongoing
Communication
GT30
As shown in the illustration, communication is carried out on an ongoing basis between
the GT30 and internal devices in the PLC. Internal PLC devices are divided into the
following two devices:
Basic communication area
This area is for system control, such as screen switching settings. PLC devices belong
to this area on a fixed basis, and communication is constantly being carried out.
Breakdown of the basic communication area
Word devices (DT, FL, etc.)
(word device / bit device: 3 words each)
Part reference / output device
For part functions
(free device specification)
Internal PLC devices
Bit devices (WR, etc.)
PLC
3 consecutive words
3 consecutive words
– Word devices ––– For reading devices handled in word units (3 consecutive words)
– Bit devices ––– For reading devices handled in bit units (3 consecutive words)
References and output devices for parts
These are devices that are used in parts functions, and can be freely specified by the
user. Communication is carried out on an ongoing basis only for those that are currently
displayed on the screen and pertain to devices currently in use.
With the GT30, before GTWIN screen creation tool is used to specify the devices for
parts functions, the “basic communication area” must be determined.
DT0 to DT2 and WR0 to WR2 are set as the default values for the basic communication
area, but the initial address can be changed using the following procedure.
CAUTION
The basic communication area should be used in the PLC ladder
program to control the GT main unit.
Settings in GTWIN
Select “Configuration” under “File” on the menu bar, and then select the sub–menu
called “GT Configuration”. This displays the dialog box for the GT30 Basic Setup, as
37
GT10/GT30 3.4 Setting the Basic Communication Area, GT30 and PLC
shown below.
Clicking on the
button in “Basic Communication Area to PLC” displays the device
settings dialog box shown below, where the initial addresses for the word area and bit
area can be changed.
GT30 Configuration Basic Setup dialog box
EXPLANATION
Key operation in the Device Settings dialog box
Click on the
button to display a pull–down menu, and then select
the device for which settings are to be entered. Use the ten–keys to
enter the address.
The
address, and the
button acts as a backspace key when entering an
button functions as a Clear key.
3.4.2 GT30 Basic Communication Area Map
In order for communication to be carried out between the GT30 and PLC, an internal
device area like that shown below is provided in the PLC. This should be used to control
the GT main unit through the PLC ladder program actually being run.
The starting address “N” of the field shown below is specified in the GT30 configuration
settings of GTWIN screen creation tool, and is then sent to the GT main unit.

GT10/GT30 4.9 Automatic Communication Settings Function
4.9 Automatic Communication Settings Function
After turning on the power supply, if there is no response from the PLC connected to
the GT10/GT30, the GT10/GT30 switches to the automatic setting mode for the
communication conditions. In the automatic setting mode, commands are sent to the
PLC while changing the communication conditions in the sequence shown below.
PLC
GT10
If there is no response from the PLC,
commands are sent to the PLC while
changing the communication conditions.
(1) 9600 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
(2) 19200 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
(3) 115200 bits/s, 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
(4) Communication conditions set in GTWIN Configuration Settings
The GT10/GT30, in automatic setting mode, continues to repeat steps (1) to (4) until
there is a response from the PLC. While it is repeating these steps, it is in the “Standby”
mode under “GT10/GT30 Configuration” a “Communication Parameters” a “Handle
Communication Error” on GTWIN. For information on how settings are entered, please
refer to page 75 (GT10) and page 97 (GT30).
EXPLANATION
Conditions when the automatic settings mode is in effect
If communication is attempted the specified number of times and
there is no response from the PLC, the GT10/GT30 goes into the
automatic settings mode. The number of attempts is specified using
the “No. of Retries” parameter under “GT10/GT30 Configuration” →
“Communication Parameters” → “Handle Communication Error” on
GTWIN. For information on how settings are entered, please refer to
page 75 (GT10) and page 97 (GT30).
Automatically set communication conditions
In the automatic settings mode, if there is a response from the PLC,
subsequent communication is carried out under conditions
matching the response. The main unit configuration settings are not
updated, however, even if the communication parameters are
different from those of the main unit configuration settings.
CAUTION
An error response from the PLC is taken as a response, and the
GT10/GT30 does not go into the automatic settings mode.
If the unit is connected to the COM port of the
FP0/FP1/FP2/FP2SH/FP–M, communication between the FP device
58
GT10/GT30 4.9 Automatic Communication Settings Function
and the PLC will not be possible if the target usage of the RS232C
port has been set to “Computer Link”. Always set the setting on the
PLC side to match “Computer Link”. For detailed information,
please refer to Chapter 4, “Connecting and Communicating with the
PLC”, on page 41.

GT10/GT30 4.10 Through Function
4.10 Through Function
With the GT series, communication can be set to take place automatically between the
COM. and TOOL ports in a “through function”. When the FP series tool software
installed in the computer connected to the GT series as shown below is booted, PLC
programs can be edited through the GT series.
The through function does not require any special settings, and is always in the standby
mode.

CAUTION
Precautions when using the through function
The system should be set up so that the interval for communication
retries in the FP series software (FPWIN Pro or FPWIN GR) (A) is
larger than that of the GT10 COM. port (B), meaning (A) > (B). If the
system is set up so that A = B or A < B, the through function will not
work properly.
Restrictions on COM. port connections
If the GT series is connected to the COM. port of the PLC, please be
aware that some functions cannot be used, such as rewriting in the
RUN mode in FPWIN Pro or FPWIN GR.
Precautions when connecting the FP Programmer II to the TOOL
port
If the FP Programmer II is connected to the TOOL port of the GT
series, the operating voltage of the GT series should be set to 25V
DC or less. Also, the GT series should not be left connected to the
60
