Before You Start

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 whwere 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 temperature or humidity.)
• Areas where the ambient temperature exceeds the range 0 to 50 °C.
• Areas where the ambient humidity exceeds 20 to 85% RH (at 25 °C non-condensing).
• 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 50 °C. This prevents the temperature of the GT main 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.
• Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the operating unit.
Static Electricity/Noise
• Keep the GT 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.
i
Page 9
Other precautions
• Do not connect any devices other than our Programmer II to the TOOL port.
• Always operate the touch panel with fingers as the touch panel may be damaged due to the excessive
load or shock (caused when being operated with any tools). Also, if the touch panel is pressed like kneading, the electrode may be worn out exceptionally, and cause the malfunction. Operate with a single touch of the panel.
• Do not disassemble, reassemble or remodel the GT main unit as we cannot assure the performance if you have done such things.
Battery
Do not leave the battery in the unit when it is not used. There is a possibility of leak if it is left being discharged.

Through function is convenient for debugging (GT01, GT11 and GT30)
If connections are made as shown in the diagram, a convenient “through” function makes it possible to transfer data from the GT and carry out PLC debugging at the same time that communication is going on between the GT and the FP series PLC. This significantly boosts efficiency in the workplace.

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 whwere 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 temperature or humidity.)
• Areas where the ambient temperature exceeds the range 0 to 50 °C.
• Areas where the ambient humidity exceeds 20 to 85% RH (at 25 °C non-condensing).
• 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 50 °C. This prevents the temperature of the GT main 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 sunlig ht.
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.
• Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the operating unit.
Static Electricity/Noise
• Keep the GT 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 environm ents where the frequent occurrence of stat ic 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.

2. Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT main unit, and tighten the screws to secure the GT main unit to the installation panel.
Note:
Screw tightening torque
The screw tightening torque should be 0.1 N m to 0.25 N m. Tightening screws too hard may be a cause to deform the case and other parts, and may cause to deteriorate the waterproof property or damages in the functions.
Applicable panel thickness
A panel with a thickness of 1.0 to 5.0 mm should be used.
Clearance when the GT is installed
When installing the GT, if other parts are being installed to the panel or cables are being wired to it, we recommend providing a clearance of 30 to 50 mm around the GT. This prevents cables from being damaged, and facilitates the installation work. Also, make sure that the slits in the main unit are never obstructed.

2.2 Wiring the Power Supply

2.2.1 Wiring the Power supply

The power supply should be wired by securely connecting the terminal on the rear of the main unit to the terminal.
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 requlator is used witht 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
Part No. Operating voltage range
AIGT0030B1/AIGT0030H1 AIGT0032B1/AIGT0032H1 AIGT0030B/AIGT0030H AIGT0032B/AIGT0032H AIGT2030B/AIGT2030H AIGT2032B/AIGT2032H AIGT3100B/AIGT3100H AIGT3300B/AIGT3300H

Keep the power supply wiring separate
• Wiring to the GT series, PLC, and other power equipment should have separate wiring systems.
2-5
Page 50

2.2.2 Grounding

Be sure to ground when the influence of noise is great
The unit is tolerant against noise in normal environments, but if the environm ent is particularly susceptible to noise, please ground.
Use dedicated grounding
• For grounding purposes, use wires with a minimum of 2 mm
2
. The grounding connection should have
a resistance of less than 100 Ω.
• Make the grounding point as close as possible to the GT and keep the distance of the grounding wire
short.
• Sharing the ground with another device may have an adverse effect. Therefore, be sure that grounding
is dedicated.
Note:
Conversely, depending on your environment, grounding may cause a problem.
Example:
Since the power line of the GT unit is connected to a functional earth via electronic parts, the electronic parts may become damaged if there is an abnormal potential between the power line and the physical ground.

Wiring method
(1) Remove the sheath from the wire.
(2) Insert the wire all the way into the terminal block, and tighten the screw in the clockwise direction to secure it.
Precautions concerning wiring
The following precautions should be observed, to avoid broken or disconnected wires.
• When removing the sheath, be careful not to scratch the core wire.
• Wire the terminal without twisting the core wire.
• The core wire should be connected without soldering it. Vibration can sometimes cause soldered
connections to break loose.
• After connecting the wiring, avoid subjecting the cable to stress.
• Because of the construction of the terminal, tightenng the wire in the counterclockwise direction will
cause a faulty connection. If this happens, disconnect the wire, check the terminal hole, and connect the wire again.

3.2 Setting the Basic Communication Area Between the
GT and PLC

3.2.1 What is the Basic Communication Area?

Communication between the GT and PLC is carried out as shown below.
As shown in the illustration, communication is carried out on an ongoing basis between the GT 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 device: For reading devices handled in word units (3 consecutive words)
• Bit device: 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 GT, 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.
Note:
The basic communication area should be used in the PLC ladder program to control the GT main unit.

4.1.16 Automatic Communication Settings Function

After turning on the power supply, if there is not response from the PLC connected to the GT, the GT 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.
The GT, in automatic setting mode, continues to repeat steps to until there is a response from the PLC. While it is repeating there steps, it is in the “Standby” mode under “GT01 Configuration” a “Communication Parameters” a “Handle Communication Error” on GTWIN.
Reference:
For information on how settings are entered, refer to <Chapter 5 GT Configuration Settings: “Communication Parameters”>
Explanation of this function:
• Conditions when the automatic settings mode is in effect
If communication is attempted the specified number of times nad there is no response from the PLC, the GT goes into the automatic settings mode. The number of attempts is specified using the “No. of Retries” parameter under “GT Configuration” → “Communication Parameters” → “Handle Communication Error” on GTWIN.
• 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.
Note:
• An error response from the PLC is taken as a response, and the GT does not go into the automatic

• If the unit is connected to the COM port of the FP0/FP1/FP2/FP2 SH/FP-M, communication between
the FP device and the PLC will not be possible if the target usage of the RS232C port has not been set to “Computer Link”. Always set the setting on the PLC side to match “Computer Link”.

4.1.17 Through Function

With the GT series, communication can be set to take place automatically between the COM. port 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.
Note:
• Precautions when using the through function
The system should be set up so that the Timeout period in the FP series software (FPWIN) (A) is larger
than the waiting time for communication retries of the GT COM. port (B), meaningn (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
When connecting the GT01 to the COM. port of a PLC, a separate external 5V DC power supply must
be provided. Be sure to remember this.
• An FP Programmer II cannot be connected to the tool port of the GT01. It can be connected to the
GT11 and GT30.

Connecting to the RS232C
Connecting to the RS422
Connecting to the RS485 (1:1 connection) (AIGT0032**)
Note:
• If noise is a problem, use a shielded cable and employ countermeasures such as installing a ferrite
core if necessary. Also take measures so that the shielding doesn’t peel off and noise such as static electricity does not interfere.
• When connecting to a device other than our FP Series, the number of units, transmission distance and
baud rate my differ depending on the device connected. Verify with the device being used.
• The maximum cable length for RS232C type is 15 m, also RS422 (5 V) type is 30 m.
• The maximum transmission distance is 500 m for the 24 V RS422 type.
