[Design Precautions]
DANGER
Depending on the GOT main unit, communication board, communication module or cable fault, the output from the GOT interface module may remain ON or may remain 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 the GOT, communication between the GOT and PLC CPU is suspended and the 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 occur.
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 interlock 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.
A - 1
[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 switch(s) still remains active.
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 touching the display section, even if the screensaver is set.
CAUTION
Do not bundle the control and communication cables with main-circuit, power or other wiring.
Run the above cables separately from such wiring and keep them a minimum of 100mm apart.
Not doing so noise can cause a malfunction.
[Mounting Precautions]
DANGER
Before installing or removing the GOT main unit to or from an enclosure, always turn the GOT power OFF before installing or removing the GOT main unit to or from an enclosure.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or malfunction.
Before loading or unloading the communication board, communication module, external I/O interface module or memory card interface module to or from the GOT, always turn the GOT power OFF before loading or unloading the communication board, communication module, external I/O interface module or memory card interface module to or from the GOT.
Not doing so can cause a module failure or malfunction.
CAUTION
The GOT should be used in the environment given in the general specifications of this user's manual.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or deterioration.
When mounting the GOT main unit to an enclosure, tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the screws or module.
A - 2
[Mounting Precautions]
When loading the communication board, External I/O interface module or communication module to the GOT main unit, fit it to the connection interface of the GOT and tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction due to the damage of the screws or module.
When loading the communication board to the GOT main unit, take care not to become injured by the components that are installed or surrounding materials.
When loading the communication board to the GOT main unit, remove any static electricity accumulated on your body before engaging in work.
Otherwise, this may result in damage to the board.
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
DANGER
Before starting wiring, always turn the GOT power OFF before starting wiring.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock, product damage or malfunction.
CAUTION
Please make sure to ground FG terminal of the GOT power supply unit by applying Class D
Grounding (Class 3 Grounding Method) or higher which is used exclusively for the GOT.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock or malfunction.
Correctly wire the power supply module on the GOT after confirming the rated voltage and terminal arrangement of the product.
Not doing so can cause a fire or failure.
Tighten the terminal screws of the GOT power supply section in the specified torque range.
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.
Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire offcuts entering the module.
Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.
Plug the bus connection cable by inserting it into the connector of the connected module until it
"clicks".
After plugging, check that it has been inserted snugly.
Not doing so can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
Plug the communication cable into the connector of the connected module and tighten the mounting and terminal screws in the specified torque range.
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.
A - 3
[Test Operation Precautions]
DANGER
Before performing test operation (bit device on/off, word device's present value changing, timer/ counter's set value and present value changing, buffer memory's present value changing) for a user-created monitor screen or system monitoring, read the manual carefully to fully understand how to operate the equipment.
During test operation, never change the data of the devices which are used to perform significant operation for the system.
False output or malfunction can cause an accident.
[Startup/Maintenance Precautions]
DANGER
When opening the panel on which the GOT is installed, always power off the GOT.
Not doing so can cause the GOT to fail or malfunction.
When power is on, do not touch the terminals.
Doing so can cause an electric shock or malfunction.
Do not change the extension number setting switch and I/O slot setting switch setting during power-on.
Doing so can cause a malfunction.
Before starting cleaning or terminal screw retightening, always turn the power OFF before starting cleaning or terminal screw retightening.
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.
When touching the GOT, communication unit, and/or option unit, or before touching the panel with the GOT installed, touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity from the human body.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
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 fault.
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.
A - 4
[Backlight Changing Precautions]
DANGER

(3) Compatible with a wide variety of connection forms
The GOT models each contain their communication interfaces so that you can choose the connection form which meets your system.
The A951GOT-Q, A951GOT comes with a bus communication interface to make a bus connection for fast communication, the A953GOT has an RS-232C interface and A950GOT includes an RS-
422 communication interface to make a CPU direct connection or computer link connection.
The A956GOT used with a communication module can make a bus connection, MELSECNET connection or CC-Link connection.
The A956WGOT used with a communication module or communication board can make a bus connection, Direct connection to CPU, computer link connection, MELSECNET connection, CC-
Link connection or Ethernet connection.
(4) Heavy-duty body usable in rigorous environment and operation
The standard display section of the GOT complies with the IP67 and the NEMA4 Waterproof,
Dustproof Standard and is usable in a wide range of environment.
(5) Maintenance function further enhanced in affinity with PLC
Upgraded alarm history function
The GOT can support the failure occurrence counting function, cumulative failure time totalizing function and history printing function, and start ladder monitoring with the corresponding device searched with a single keystroke at the failure detail display time.
(6) Improvement of safety by upgraded security function
• Supporting the operation protective function using up to 16 levels of passwords, the GOT can hide the display or disable input operation according to the password level. You can achieve hidden screens and hidden operations and easily change the display data per GOT used.
• You can specify the time delay function (ON delay/OFF delay) of the touch switches, doublepushing switches and interlock conditions to reduce malfunctions due to wrong key pushing.
(7) Wide, easy-to-see screen (A956WGOT only)
The A956WGOT can lay out more objects on the screen than it is possible with the A95 GOT. By utilizing the monitor screen data of the A95 GOT, the A956WGOT enables numeric value entry without hiding the monitor screen with a window for numeric value entry. This is achieved by arranging the ten keys for numeric value input next to the monitor screen data.

2.6 Notes on Q4ARCPU Duplex System
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 duplex system (A32RB, A33RB) is connected via the bus.
(b) The configuration in which the GOT is connected with the additional base (A68RB) for duplex system of Version A is connected via the bus.
• To check and confirm the version of the additional base for duplex system, please refer to the

2.6 Notes on Q4ARCPU Duplex System 2 - 11
(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 system at the final stage is on.
Therefore, please make sure that the 5V DC consumption (8A) of the power supply module will not be exceeded 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 bus interface.
Power on the GOT-A900 series and Q4ARCPU duplex system in the following order.
(1) Power on the GOT-A900 series.
(2) 1 to 2 seconds after power-on of the GOT-A900 series, power on the Q4ARCPU duplex system.

*1 If you run the monitor with A956WGOT, the screen may flicker depending on the type of object/shape fill pattern used when creating images.
This is due to the specifications of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
Be sure to check the combination of the type of pattern and color on the machine before using.
For patterns likely to flicker and countermeasures against flickers, refer to the PDF manual stored in the used drawing software.
*2 Depending on the display color combination, the visibility of the screen may be lower from certain viewpoints.
Before using, check the color combination with the machine installed in the usage environment.
By designating bright colors for the basic color types, you can decrease the chances of this phenomenon occurring.
*3 For A95*GOT-(Q)TBD(-M3), A95*GOT-(Q)SBD(-M3)-B and A956WGOT the backlight needs not be replaced, as they include a backlight of increased life.
*4 When parts must be changed, consult your sales representative.
*5 The screen saving/back light OFF function of GOT is extended, thus reducing burning prevention of the display panel and extending longevity of the back light.
*6 Bright dots (always lit) and dark dots (unlit) may appear on a liquid crystal display panel. It is impossible to completely avoid this symptom, as the liquid crystal display comprises of a great number of display elements.
Please note that these dots appear due to its characteristic and are not caused by product defect.
*7 A screen created with GT Designer2 is displayed with reversing (white/black) on GOT.
The same display image as a screen created with GT Designer2 can be set for the display on GOT with [Setup] of the utility.
When setting [Reverse display] to [Yes]: The display is the same as one created with GT Designer2.
When setting [Reverse display] to [No]: The reversed (white/black) display of a screen created with GT Designer2 is displayed.

Remark
General view of noise countermeasures
There are two types of noise: radiated noise, which is transmitted through the air, and conducted noise, which is transmitted through a connection wire. In noise countermeasures, the both two types of noise should be taken into account. As the noise countermeasures, there are the following three methods.
(1) Block noise
(a) Keep signal wires away from a possible noise source as power wires or highpower driving circuits.
(b) Shield signal wires.
(2) Reduce generated noise
(a) Reduce the noise generated from high-power motor drive circuits.
(3) Ground noise without fail
(a) Earth the grounding wire to the ground without fail.
(b) Use a grounding wire as thick and short as possible to ensure low grounding impedance.
(c) Separate the grounding between power and control systems.

7.4 How to Change the Backlight for Liquid Crystal
The A95*GOT-TBD(-M3), A95*GOT-SBD(-M3)-B and A956WGOT do not require their backlights to be replaced since they are installed with long-life backlights.
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.
Change the backlight in the following procedure.
1) Turn the GOT’s power off.
Remove the wire from the power supply terminal and also remove the communications cable.
When using the A956GOT, remove the network module.
2) After loosening the mounting fixtures of the GOT, remove the GOT from the enclosure.

8 EMC DIRECTIVE
For the products sold in European countries, the conformance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the
European Directives, has been a legal obligation since 1996. Also, conformance to the Low Voltage Directive, another European Directives, has been a legal obligation since 1997.
Manufacturers who recognize their products must conform to the EMC and Low Voltage Directives required to declare that their products conform to these Directives and put a "CE mark" on their products.
Products that the EMC directive applies to are marked with the CE mark logo.
8.1 Requirements for conformance to EMC Directive
The EMC Directive specifies that products placed on the market must "be so constructed that they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference (emissions) and are not unduly affected by electromagnetic interference (immunity)".
marize the precautions on conformance to the EMC Directive of the machinery constructed using the GOT.
The details of these precautions has been prepared based on the requirements and the applicable standards control. However, we will not assure that the overall machinery manufactured according to these details conforms to the above-mentioned directives. The method of conformance to the EMC directive and the judgment on whether or not the machinery conforms to the EMC Directive must be determined finally by the manufacturer of the machinery.

8.1.2
Control cabinet
The GOT is an open type device (device installed to another device) and must be installed in a conductive control panel or cabinet.
It not only assure the safety but also has a large effect to shut down the noise 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.
(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
2
wire or thicker is recommended.)
(e) Holes made in the control cabinet must be 10 cm (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 carried out on a panel having the damping characteristics of 37 dB max. and 30 dB mean (measured by 3 m method with 30 to 300 MHz).
(2) Connection of power and ground wires
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 FG terminal (FG: Frame
Ground) with the thickest and shortest wire possible. (The wire length must be 30cm (11.18in.) or shorter.)
The FG terminal function is to pass the noise generated in the GOT 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 conductor will become a more efficient antenna at high frequency.

8.1 Requirements for conformance to EMC Directive
8.1.2 Control cabinet
(3) Electrical shock prevention
In order to such as the operators from electric shocks, the control box must have the following functions :
(a) The control cabinet must be equipped with a lock so that 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.
(4) Dustproof and waterproof features
The control box also has the dustproof and waterproof functions. Insufficient dustproof and waterproof features 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 pollution 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 inside the control box 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.
8.1.3
Grounding
It is necessary to use the GOT grounding terminal only when it is in the grounded condition.
Be sure to ground the grounding for the safety reasons and EMC Directives.

(1) About ROM_BIOS
ROM_BIOS is available in two types: for large-sized GOTs (A985GOT(-V), A975GOT, A970GOT,
A960GOT) and for medium-sized GOTs (A950GOT, A951GOT, A953GOT, A956GOT) and widesized GOT (A956WGOT).
Note the following when installing ROM_BIOS in the A950GOT, A951GOT, A953GOT, A956GOT or
A956WGOT.
• Do not install ROM_BIOS designed for large-sized GOT in any of the
DoA950GOT, A951GOT, A953GOT, A956GOT and A956WGOT.
• Do not install ROM_BIOS designated for large-sized GOTs or medium-sized
GOTs in the A956WGOT.
• Do not install ROM_BIOS of a version earlier than the version of ROM_BIOS installed in the GOT.
Refer to the following manual for the ROM_BIOS installation method.
• When GT Designer is used:GT Works Version /GT Designer Version Reference Manual

9.3 Precautions for Installation of ROM_BIOS
9.4 Troubleshooting in bus connection
bus-connected to the PLC CPU, troubleshoot the cause as follows.
9.4.1
Locating error positions
(1) How to locate error positions:
(a) Use of peripheral devices
Using the peripheral devices such as GPP, 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.
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 where an error 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 9.4.2, locate the error position further.

(1) The scanning time exceeds the calculation congestion monitoring time.
(2) The scanning time may be extended by waiting for a response from an SP module that is down, and errors may occur simultaneously.
The information stored in the cards of the module installed in the base module and the communication module of the GOT is different from that read at the initial time.
(If an error occurs on a module
(vacant) other than that installed in the base module, the mis-operation may be caused by noise.)
(1) Use the error history to check whether simultaneous occurrence errors are present.
(2) Refer to the SP module down check points.
Check the faulty module at special resisters
D9116 to D9123.
(1) Check that the module and the cables are connected correctly.
(2) Check that the PLC and the GOT are earthed correctly.
When the FROM/TO instruction is executed, an imprecise response is returned from the special function module (including the GOT).
At the time of initial communication, an imprecise response is returned from the special function module (including the GOT).
The special function module was accessed during the execution of a
FROM/TO instruction set, but there was no response.
At the time of initial communication, a response is not returned from the special function module
(including the GOT).
An imprecise interrupt occurs to the PLC CPU.
Too many modules are installed
(see the PLC CPU specification).
The FROM/TO instruction is executed to any module other than the special function module.
Check the faulty module from the error step.
(1) Check that the module and the cables are connected correctly.
(2) Replace the faulty module with a new one.

9.4.2
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.
Example 1:
Turn off the power of the GOT.
Example 2:
Turn off the power of the GOT.
Turn off the power of the PLC CPU.
Turn off the power of the PLC CPU.
Disconnect the bus-connection cable
(IN side) from the final stage GOT.
Disconnect the bus-connection cable
(OUT side) from the GOT located one stage before the final stage.
Turn on the power of the PLC CPU.
Turn on the power of the PLC CPU.
Turn on the power of the GOT.
Turn on the power of the GOT.
If an error does not occur, the final stage GOT may be faulty.
If an error does not occur, the final stage GOT and the bus-connection cable before the final stage may be faulty.
Repeat the examples 1 and 2 above to locate error positions.
• When disconnecting the extension base units in order, use only an END 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 rather long time with the modules disconnected.
• The checks stated above are effective to locate a noise invading route when the mis-operation is caused by noise.
