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.

Red
Orange
Green
High-resolution touch panel provided (GT01 and GT11)
A compact touch panel is provided with on-screen switches and a keyboard, letting you operate the unit
simply by touching the screen. As this is an analog touch panel, numerous switches can be used and
allows maximum flexibility in the switch layout and size.
Screens can be created easily, using special tools (GT01, GT11 and GT30)
Screen contents can be easily created using the dedicated Terminal GTWIN tool (runs on Windows
95/98/2000/NT/XP). Screens are put together simply by selecting parts from a library and positioning
them in place.
Screen data of the other models can be used with the model conversion function.
Screen data can be converted from the small-sized screen to the large-sized one. For the details, refer to
Terminal GTWIN Operational Guide Book.

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.

2.1.2 GT01 and GT11 Installation Method
Secure the GT to the installation panel using the four fittings and four screws provided with the unit.
1. Place the GT main unit in the installation panel.
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.
When using the GT11 connecting our Programmer II or C-NET adapter to the TOOL port
Usable ambient temperature is 45 °C.
2-3
Page 48
2.1.3 GT30 Installation Method
Secure the GT30 to the installation panel using the two fittings and four screws provided with the unit.
1. Place the GT30 main unit in the installation panel.
2. Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT30 main unit, and tighten the screws to
secure the GT30 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 the screws too hard can cause
deformation of the front panel, so that the switch will not function properly. Make sure screws are
tightened to the appropriate degree.
Applicable panel thickness
A panel with a thickness of 1.0 to 5.0 mm should be used.
Installation angle and ambient temperature range for usage
If the unit is being installed in a horizontal orientation and the Matsushita Programmer II and C-NET
adaptor are being connected to the TOOL port, please be aware that the ambient usage temperature
should not exceed 40 °C.
Clearance when the GT is installed
When installing the GT30, 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 GT30. This prevents cables from being
damaged, and facilitates the installation work. Also, make sure that the slits in the main unit are never
obstructed.

Page 49
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
• 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.

Setup
Page 54
3.1 Setup Procedure for the GT
The GT main unit should be set up using the procedure outlined below.
1. Setting the “Configuration File” with GTWIN
The Gthas an internal file called the “Configuration file”, which is used to determine various operating
environment parameters. When the GT is shipped from the factory, the settings listed below are set for
the parameters in the configuration settings file. If changes are made to these settings, they are made
from GTWIN screen creation tool.If the GT is being used without changing the factory settings, the
following setup procedure is not necessary.

3. Transfer the GT Configuration file from GTWIN
After connections have been completed, use the following procedure to transfer the GT Configuration file
from GTWIN.
• 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: “GT Configuration”
Transfer direction: “GTWIN → GT main unit”
Enter the above conditions and click on the “OK” button.
The system files are transferred to the GT main unit.
When the menu oepration as above is carried out, the configuration file sent to the GT main unit. During
the transfer, a screen like that shown below is displayed.
Setup is completed.
If the transfer has been completed without any problems, the setup is completed.
Note:
• Backup of the GT Configuration file

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
settings mode.
• 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”.
4-19
Page 80
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.

series.
Although No. 6 and 7 of the GT11 is RS/CS, they can be used in the above connection.
Setting the communication conditions for the PLC
“0” should be stored in D8120. (“0” is the default value, so this setting should not need to be entered by
the user.)
Communication condition settings and devices that can be used are the same as those given on
the previous page.
Note:
The RS422 type GT01 and FX series does not support the communication using the adapter for RS422
(or RS485).

4.1.24 Connecting a Sereial Device
Devices other than PLCs can be connected by using the general-purpose serial communication mode of
the GT. Refer to the following regarding PLCs that are not included in this manual.
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.
