Preface
Essential Safety Precautions
This user manual contains a variety of safety markings for safe and correct operation of the LT unit. Please read this and any related manuals carefully to fully
understand the correct and safe usage of the LT and its features.
Safety Symbols
Please pay attention to the following safety symbols and their meanings:
Indicates situations that will definitely
DANGER
WARNING
result in severe bodily injury, death, or
major machine damage if the instructions
are not followed.
Indicates situations that may result in severe
bodily injury, death, or major machine
damage if the instructions are not followed.
Indicates situations that may result in minor
CAUTION
bodily injury or damage to the machinery if
the instructions are not followed.
DANGERS
When Designing your LT System:
• Be sure to design your LT control system so that, in the
event of a main power supply failure or an LT accident, the
user system’s overall safety integrity will be maintained. If
this is not done, incorrect output signals or an LT malfunction may cause an accident.
(1) Interlock and other circuits designed to interrupt or op-
pose normal machine movement (such as Emergency
Stop, General Protection, and forward and reverse rotation), as well as those designed to prevent machine damage (such as upper , lower, and traverse movement limit
positioning) should all be designed to be located outside of the LT.
LT Series User Manual 5
Page 7
Preface
DANGERS
(2) When the LT generates a “Watchdog Timer Error,” LT
operation will halt. Also, when Errors occur in Input/
Output control areas that the LT cannot detect, unexpected movement may occur in those areas. Therefore,
and to prevent unsafe machine movement, a “Failsafe
Circuit” should be created which is completely external
to the LT.
Section 3.2.5 – “Installation Cautions”
(3) If a problem arises with an external unit’s relay or tran-
sistor that causes an output (coil) to remain either ON
or OFF, a major accident can occur. To prevent this, be
sure to set up external watchdog circuits that will monitor vital output signals.
• Design a circuit that will supply power to the LT unit’s
I/O unit before starting up the LT. If the LT unit’s internal
program enters RUN mode prior to the I/O unit’s load control power turning ON, an incorrect output (signal) or malfunction could cause an accident.
• Design a user program that ensures the safety of the user’s
system, in the event of an LT display or control error, or
either a data transmission error or power failure between
the LT and a connected unit. These types of problems can
lead to an incorrect output (signal) or malfunction, resulting in an accident.
• Do NOT use the LT as a warning device for critical alarms
that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage,
or production stoppage. Use stand-alone hardware and/or
mechanical interlocks to design alarm indicators and their
control/activator units.
• Do NOT use LT touch panel switches to perform operator
safety-related or important accident-prevention operations.
These operations should be performed by separate hardware switches to prevent operator injury and machine damage.

LT Series User Manual
Page 8
Preface
DANGERS
• Design your system so that equipment will not malfunction
due to a communication fault between the LT and its host
controller . This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury
or material damage.
• The LT is not appropriate for use with aircraft control de-
vices, medical life-support equipment, central trunk data
transmission (communication) devices, or nuclear power
control devices, due to their inherent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
• When using the LT with transportation vehicles (trains, cars,
and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various
types of safety equipment, and medical devices that are
not life-support related, use redundant and/or failsafe system designs to ensure the proper degree of reliability and
safety.
WARNINGS
• Unlike the LT unit’ s “Standby Mode,” after the L T unit’ s back-
light burns out, the touch panel is still active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur. Your backlight is burned out if:
• your L T is not set to “Standby Mode” and the screen has
gone blank
• your LT is set to “Standby Mode,” but touching the screen
does not cause the display to reappear
To prevent an accidental machine operation error, Pro-face
recommends that you use the L T unit’s “USE T OUCH P ANEL
AFTER BACKLIGHT BURNOUT” feature, to automatically
detect a burnout and disable the touch screen.
Section 6.4.3 – “Set Up Touch Panel”

Preface
WARNINGS
Installation Warnings:
• High voltage runs through the LT. To prevent an electrical
shock, do NOT disassemble the LT for any reason other
than to replace the backlight.
• Do NOT modify the LT unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an
electrical shock.
• Do NOT use the LT in an environment where flammable
gases are present. Doing so may cause an explosion.
Wiring Warnings:
• To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug
the LT unit’s power cord from the power supply prior to
installing or wiring the LT.
• After completing any LT wiring work, be sure the terminal
block’s protective plastic cover is reattached. If this cover
is not reattached, an electrical shock could easily occur.
• High voltage runs through the LT. Except for changing the
backlight, do NOT attempt to open the LT, since there is a
possibility of an electrical shock.
• Do NOT use power levels with the LT that are higher or
lower than the LT unit’s specified power range. Doing so
may cause a fire, electrical shock, or LT damage.
• Do NOT operate or store the LT in areas where flammable
gases are present and may cause an explosion.
Operation and Maintenance Warnings:
• NEVER touch a live power terminal. Doing so could cause
an electrical shock or a machine malfunction.
• To prevent an electrical shock, unplug the LT unit’s power
cord before either cleaning the LT or attaching/detaching
the power terminal attachment screws.
• When replacing the LT unit’s backlight, be sure to unplug
the unit’s power cord to prevent an electrical shock, and
wear safety gloves to prevent burns.

Preface
WARNINGS
• The LT uses a lithium battery to back up its internal clock
and to control memory data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced (reversed positive [+] and negative [-] ends), the battery may explode. Therefore, Pro-face recommends that you
contact your local LT distributor for instructions before replacing or changing the battery.
• Do not attempt to modify the L T unit’s internal parts or wir-
ing in any way , since this may lead to either electrical shock
or fire.
CAUTIONS
Wiring Layout Cautions:
• To prevent an LT unit malfunction due to excessive noise,
isolate all LT input/output signal lines from all power wiring or power cables via a separate wiring duct.
Installation Cautions:
• To reduce the risk of incorrect input or output signals, be
sure that any data cables attached to the LT unit’s connector make full contact with the connector pins.
General Wiring Cautions
• To prevent electrical shocks or malfunctions, be sure the
LT unit’s FG (earth) wire is grounded as follows:
(1) maximum grounding resistance: 100
(2) minimum grounding wire diameter: 2mm
• The L T unit’ s wiring should be checked to confirm that both
ΩΩ
Ω
ΩΩ
2
the operating voltage and wiring terminal locations are correct. If either the voltage or the wiring terminal location is
incorrect, it can cause a fire or accident.
• Be sure to secure all wiring terminal screws with the des-
ignated torque. Screws and terminals that become loose
can cause a short circuit, fire, or accident.
LT Series User Manual 9
Page 11
Preface
CAUTIONS
• Be sure that metal filings or wiring remnants do not fall
inside the LT, since they can cause a fire, accident, or malfunction.
LT Operation and Maintenance Cautions
• Be sure to read the LT unit’s manual and online help information carefully before performing program changes, entering forced output, or using the RUN, STOP, or PAUSE
commands while the LT is in operation. Mistakes concerning the use of these items can cause a machine accident or
damage.
• The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant. If, for
any reason, the panel is damaged and this liquid enters
your eyes, flush your eyes for 15 minutes with running water
and contact a physician immediately.
LT Unit Disposal Cautions
• The L T unit should be disposed of in a manner appropriate
to, and in accordance with, the user country’s industrial
machinery disposal standards.

Preface
General Safety Precautions
• Do NOT strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press on
the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch
panel or the display.
• Do NOT install the LT where the ambient temperature can exceed the
allowed range. Doing so may cause the L T to malfunction or shorten its
operation life.
• Do NOT restrict or limit the LT unit’s naturally-occurring, rear-face ventilation, and do NOT store or use the LT in overheated areas.
• Do NOT store or use the LT unit in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form
inside the unit, which can cause possible unit malfunctions.
• Do NOT allow water, liquids, metals, or charged particles to enter inside
the LT unit’s outer casing, since they can cause either an LT malfunction or an electrical shock.
• Do NOT store or use the L T in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or
dirty environments.
• Do NOT store or use the LT in an environment where shaking or excessive vibration can occur.
• Do NOT store or use the LT where chemicals (such as organic solvents
and acids) can evaporate, or in environments where chemicals and acids are present in the air.
Corrosive chemicals: acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt
Flammable chemicals: organic solvents
• Do NOT use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the LT.
• Do NOT store or operate the LCD display in areas that receive direct
sunlight, since the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays may cause the quality of
the LCD to deteriorate.
• Storing this unit in areas at temperatures that are lower than is recommended in this manual’s specifications may cause the LCD panel’s liquid to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely , if the storage
area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD
panel’s liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the
LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where temperatures are within the ranges specified in this manual.
• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the
LT unit’s screen data regularly.

About the LT Unit’s Display Panel
• The data that is currently displayed on the L T unit's screen, the screen’ s
brightness, and the LT unit’s voltage
of
Contouring — a wavelike pattern that is created when some parts of
the screen are brighter than others.
• The minute, dark and light grid-points on the display panel’s surface is
part of the LT unit’s design and are not defects.
• Extended shadows, or “Crosstalk”, may appear on the sides of screen
images. This is normal for an LCD panel.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have
changed.
• Displaying a single image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage to remain when the screen display is changed.
This is a common attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.

each affect the screen’s intensity
To prevent this effect:
Use the LT unit’s “Standby Mode,” which automatically turns the
screen OFF when no input is entered within a specified period of
time.
Section 6.3.1 – “System Setup”
• Write “FFFFh” to the System Data Area’s “Screen Display Off” address
to turn the screen display OFF when the following actions are not performed within the user-specified period of time.
• Change Screen
• Touch Screen
• Alarm Display
Do NOT display any single screen for a long period of time. Try to
change the screen display periodically.
1 Operating the LT unit in the lower range of its allowable operating voltage may
affect the intensity of contouring.

Preface
CE Marking Notes
The GLC150-**41-****-24V units are CE marked products that conform to EMC
directives EN55011 class A and EN61000-6-2.
Conformance Standards to EMC Directives
The EN61000-6-2 standard requires that products connected to an unprotected DC
line have 500V resistance (normal mode/common mode) in accordance with the
61000-4-5 surge test.
However, note that the power supply for the DIO of the LT unit is designed on the
assumption that it is connected to a protected DC power-supply line. Therefore,
the surge test included in this specification is inapplicable.
This LT unit’s 24V Power Input for DIO is not equipped with protection against
lightning surges. Therefore, it is not lightning surge resistant. To make your LT
unit or system compliant with EMC directives, connect the LT unit to surge
protected power, and set up sur ge resistance for your LT unit or overall system.
For example, when an LT unit mounted to a control panel is supplied DC24V
power in accordance with the EMC directive, this LT unit’s input side is protected
from power surges.
CNS Notes
The GLC150-BG41-****-24V units comply with the following CNS standards:
• CNS 13438 (Class A)
<Caution>
The LT is an Industrial Device (Class A Device). Home use of this device may

The LT can independently control up to 32 external I/O units (DC 24V 16-point
Input/16-point Output).
LT
I/O Units
Flex Network System (Type B)
Connecting Flex Network units to the LT unit allows you to use the L T to control
remote I/O.
Flex Network I/O units are connected to the LT via the Flex Network I/F unit,
which is equipped with 2 channels — CH1 and CH2. Through these channels, the
LT can send identical communication data. Y ou can select either one of these
channels, or both, when sending communication data to the external I/O units.
Using a single channel enables you to send communication data to 31 I/O units via
one channel, and to 32 I/O units via the other channel. Therefore, using both
channels, the LT can communicate with a total of 63 Flex Network I/O units.

32 Point I/O + Flex Network System Design (Type B+)
The LT unit can independently control up to 32 I/O units. (DC24V Input 16 points/
Output 16 points Sink)
Connecting Flex Network I/O units to the LT allows the LT to control any remote I/O
unit. When connecting the I/O unit, two channels are available — CH1 and CH2. Each
channel outputs the same data and can be used for data communication.
When using a single channel, the maximum number of I/O units that can be
connected is 30, and when using a second channel, the number increases by 32,
for a total of 62 I/O units.
Since this unit’s 32 point I/O occupies one of the units in the Flex Network system, the total number of units available on Channel 1 is 31, and on Channel 2 is
32, for a total of 63 units.

1 Grounding requirements differ from country to country. Confirm the requirements of
your work environment prior to installation. For further information, please contact
your Pro-face distributor.
2 The front face of the LT unit is installed in a solid panel, and has been tested under
conditions equivalent to the standards listed in the specifications. The LT unit’s level of
resistance is equivalent to these standards; however, oils that should have no effect on
the LT can harm the unit — when vaporized oils are present, when low-viscosity cutting
oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long periods of time, or if the protective sheet
on the front face of the LT peels off. These conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into
the LT, and alternate protective measures are recommended. Also, the presence of nonapproved oils may cause deformation or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover.
Therefore, prior to installing the LT, confirm the type of conditions that will be present in
the LT unit’s operating environment. If the installation gasket is used for a long period of
time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the panel, the original level of the
protection cannot be guaranteed. To maintain the original protection level, replace the
installation gasket regularly.

The LT unit’s internal clock has a slight degree of error in
accuracy. At normal operating temperatures and conditions,
and with the LT operating from its lithium battery, the degree
of error is ±65 seconds per month. Variations in operating
conditions and battery life can cause this error to vary from 380 to +90 seconds per month. For systems where this degree of error will be a problem, the user should monitor this
error and make adjustments as required.

Alarm Output for Circuit (All Types)
Turning the LT unit ON will start the unit’s system software and the alarm output
circuit’s relay. When a major error triggers a watchdogtimer alarm, however, this
relay will turn OFF. Since an undefined LT input or output condition can occur, be
sure to design an external failsafe circuit that will monitor the output of this relay.
• When the LT unit’s power is turned ON, the Alarm Output is turned OFF
for approximately 1 second. Therefore, be sure to design your circuits
so that they disregard a 1 second Alarm Output stop after the LT unit’s
power is turned ON.
Example: Insert an external timer in series with the Alarm Output that
turns OFF 1.5 seconds after power is turned ON.

Use the following instructions to create your own cable:
With the RS-422:
• The following pins must be connected in pairs, as follows:
#18 (CSB) <—> #19 (ERB)
#21 (CSA) <—> #22 (ERA)
• When connecting the RS-422 cable’s #9 (TRMX) and
#10 (RDA) pins, a termination resistance of 100 Ω is added
between the #10 (RDA) and #16 (RDB) pins.
• When making a cable for a Memory Link system, use a 4wire type of cable.
With the RS-232C:
• Do NOT use the following pins:
#9 (TRMX) #10 (RDA) #11 (SDA)
#15 (SDB) #16 (RDB) #18 (CSB)
#19 (ERB) #21 (CSA) #22 (ERA)
Connect the #1 (FG) terminal only if it is required by a connected device.
• This L T unit’s serial port is not isolated. To reduce the risk of damage to
the RS-422 circuit, it is important that you connect the SG/GND (Signal
Ground) terminals.
• FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the LT. When connecting to another device, be sure to not create an SG shorting loop in your
system.
• Pin #14 (VCC) DC 5V Output is not protected. T o prevent damage or unit
malfunction, use only the designated level of current.

3.1 Installation
Follow the steps in this section to install the LT.
3.1.1 Installation Procedures
Attaching the Installation Gasket
Pro-face strongly recommends that you use the installation gasket to absorb
vibration as well as repel water.
Place the display panel of the LT face down on a level surface. Make sure that the
LT unit’s installation gasket is securely fitted into the groove that runs around the
perimeter of the panel’s frame.

2. Wiring Cautions
3. Tool Connector
For details about installing the gasket, see Section 8.1.2 – “Installation Gasket Check/Replacement.”
Installation
Gasket
Before installing the LT into a cabinet or panel, check that the Installation gasket is securely attached to the unit.

Page 57
Chapter 3 – Installation and Wiring
Creating a Panel Cut
Create an opening with the correct dimensions to install the LT.
For the correct installation dimensions, see Section 2.5.3 – “L T Panel
Cut Dimensions.”
The installation gasket, installation fasteners, and attachment screws are all required when installing the LT.
Panel
Panel Cut
Area
Make sure that the installation panel or cabinet’s surface is
flat, in good condition, and has no jagged edges. Metal reinforcement strips can also be attached to the inside of the panel,
near the Panel Cut, to increase the panel’s strength.
Panel thickness should be between 1.6 and 5.0 mm (0.06 to 0.02 in.),
and should be based on the strength required to mount the LT to the
panel.
For easier maintenance and operation, and improved ventilation, install
the LT at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) away from adjacent structures and
other equipment.

3.2 Wiring Cautions
3.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
WARNINGS
• T o avoid electrical shock, be sure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet when connecting the
power terminals to the LT unit.
• The LT requires a DC 24V power supply. If the power
supply does not match the model, both the power supply and LT unit will be damaged.
• Reattach the LT Terminal Strip’s clear plastic cover
after the wiring is completed. If the cover is not installed, it may cause an electrical shock.
• Since the LT is not equipped with the power switch,
be sure to connect a breaker type switch to the LT’s
power code.
• To prevent the Ring Terminals*1 from short-circuiting when the terminal
block attachment screws are loosened, use sleeve-type Ring T erminals.
• When the FG terminal is connected, be sure that the wire is grounded.
Not grounding the LT unit will result in excessive noise. Use your
country’s applicable standard for grounding.
Section 3.2.2 – “Grounding”
• Whenever possible, use thick wires (max. 2mm2) for power
terminals, and twist the exposed wire ends when connecting the Ring Terminals.
• Use crimp-on type Ring Terminals in the following sizes:
1 Recommended Ring Terminal: V2-MS3 (manufactured by JST).
3–6 LT Series User Manual

Chapter 3 – Installation and Wiring
Connecting the Power Supply Terminals
1. Make sure that the LT unit’s power cord is not plugged in to the power supply.
2. Remove the Terminal Strip’s clear plastic cover.
3. Remove the screws from the three (3) middle terminals, position the Ring
Terminals (see below), and reattach the screws. Check each wire to make sure
the connections are correct, and use only 0.5 to 0.6 N•m of force.

3.2.2 Grounding
CAUTION
Do not use common grounding, since it can lead to an accident or machine breakdown.
Connect the FG terminal found on the back of the LT to an exclusive ground
(diagram A).
(A) Exclusive Grounding (BEST)
LT
• Make sure that the grounding resistance is less than 100
• FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the LT. When connecting to another device, be sure to not create an SG shorting loop in your
system.
• The grounding wire should have a cross-sectional area of at least 2mm
Create the grounding point as close to the L T unit as possible, and keep
the wires as short as possible. Replace all thin wires with thicker wires,
and place them in a duct.

• Use noise-reducing external wiring methods to increase overall system
reliability.
• T o prevent power surges or noise interference, use ducts to separate all
DC I/O or current circuit wires from communication cables.
• To prevent malfunctions due to noise, communication cables must be
wired separately from high-frequency lines and power lines such as
high-voltage lines, high-current lines, and inverters.
LT Series User Manual
If the lines cannot be separated, use shielded lines and create a ground from the shield line.

Chapter 3 – Installation and Wiring
3.2.5 Installation Cautions
A problem in the external power supply or an LT unit failure can lead to operation
failures.
Since these types of failures can affect the entire system, as a preventive measure,
be sure to set up a protection circuit (such as an Emergency Stop, Protection
Network, Interlock, or System Design Circuit) in areas where potential failures
may occur .
Examples of protection circuits that ensure the system’s reliability include the
following:
Failsafe Electrical Circuits
When designing failsafe circuits, be aware of possible malfunctions resulting from
differences in the startup times of the control device connected to LT output unit
(especially the DC power supply), the LT unit’s system, and the program. When
using a remote I/O, create a logic program to check the terminal status.
For example, connect an electrical voltage relay coil to the LT output unit power
supply circuit and to any connected control devices’ power circuit, then connect
their contacts to the LT input unit. Design the circuit so that it checks for an ON
signal from the electrical voltage relay using a logic program, then executes the
ladder program of the control device connected to the LT output unit.
Input Voltage
The power supply must be DC 24V (between DC 20.4V and DC 28.8V).
3–10 LT Series User Manual
Page 66
Chapter 3 – Installation and Wiring
Power Interruptions
When a power supply interruption is 10 ms or longer, the LT unit's power will also
stop. Also, when a power interruption occurs, operation will stop even while a
command is being issued.
For example, if the power is cut while an FMOV command is sending data in 100word units, command execution will stop.
When designing the program, allow for the possibility of a power interruption.
Emergency Stop Circuits
Do NOT send an Emergency Stop signal to the LT , and do NOT use the LT unit’s
internal software to process an Emergency Stop signal.
As shown below, be sure to create the Emergency Stop circuit outside the LT.

Interlock Circuit 1
Create an interlock circuit outside the LT (below), to control a motor’s forward/
reverse rotation circuit using an LT or external device connection.
Auxiliary B contact of electromagnetic
switch for motor reverse rotation
Motor rotation signal
LT
For example, an electromagnetic switch for forward and reverse motor rotation could be turned ON and OFF at the same time. Therefore, when the
main contact for the power circuits of both the forward and the reverse motor
rotation are turned ON and OFF at the same time, there is a possibility that
an R Phase and a T Phase short circuit will occur. Please use the above
interlock, or a mechanical interlock equipped with an electromagnetic switch,
when designing a forward/reverse rotation circuit.

After the LT or external device runs the program, the timing of
the ON/OFF signals to the output device is carried out simultaneously.

Interlock Circuit 2
If there is a possibility that an LT failure could cause an accident, use an external
hardware device to include a failsafe element in the design of the interlock circuit.
For example, if the system first needs to stop the Travel Motor whenever the Unit
Travel Limit Switch is activated, include the Unit Travel Limit Switch in the LT
input. The following circuit uses a hardware method to ensure that the Travel
Motor is stopped.
This applies to hardware; do NOT rely on software to process the interlock design.

STAND-BY MODE TIME (0–255)
To protect the LT unit’s display screen, a screen saver function automatically turns
the unit’s backlight(s) OFF when no operations have occurred within a specified
period of time. No screen saver will be used when “0” is entered in this field.
When the SYSTEM DAT A AREA’s SCREEN DISPLAY OFF*1 data is set to 0000h,
the LT unit’s current display data will clear if the following operations are not
performed within the user’s specified period of time:
• Change Screen
• Touch Screen
• Alarm Display
START TIME (0–255)
Use this setting item to specify the LT unit’s startup time — or to adjust the
powering-up sequence — so that the LT starts up after the external devices start.
TOUCH BUZZER SOUND
Use this feature to indicate with a buzzing sound that the LT has been touched.
PASSWORD SETUP
The password setting item is used when the LT switches to the Initialize Memory
or Initialize (OFFLINE mode) screens. The password — a number between 0 and
9999 — is a security feature within the OFFLINE mode, to protect the LT settings.
If you do not wish to use this feature, enter the default value, “0.”

Relationship between the internal device address and external devices,
when using the Write Character Value operation.
16-bit Devices
The LT stores the character string in one internal Device, in groups of two, starting
with the first pair of characters.
When nine characters make up a string, they are arranged as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Null
When the characters do not divide evenly by two, NULL is
added to the last character to make up the final pair and complete the string.
32-bit Devices
The LT stores the character string in one internal device address, in groups of four,
starting with the first group of characters.
When there are nine characters, they are arranged as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Null
When the characters do not divide evenly by four, NULL is
added to the last character to make up the final group and
complete the string.
