A-1
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER
z Some failures of the GOT, communication unit or cable may keep the outputs
on or 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.

z 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 becomes
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.

z 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.

z 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 POWER LED flickers (green/orange)
and the display section turns black and causes the monitor screen to appear
blank, while the input of the touch switch(s) 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 POWER LED flickers (green/orange) and the monitor screen appears
blank

A-2
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER
z The display section of the GT1595-X is an analog-resistive type touch panel.
If you touch the display section simultaneously in 2 points or more, the switch
that is located around the center of the touched point, if any, may operate.
Do not touch the display section in 2 points or more simultaneously.
Doing so may cause an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.

CAUTION

 4.EMC and Low Voltage 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 Directive are required to declare that their products conform to these
Directives and put a "CE mark" on their products.
When manufacturers produce machineries using the GOT, they should finally
decide the EMC and low voltage directives conformance method or judge if the
manufactured machineries conform to these directives.

For the EMC and low voltage directives conformance method for the GOT1000
series, refer to the GT15 User’s Manual.
The above manual can be downloaded from the Information site for Mitsubishi
industrial automation products MELFANSweb website.

Also, conformance to the EMC Directive of the GOT1000 series can be confirmed
with the MELFANSweb website.
For latest information, please confirm on the MELFANSweb website.

 6.Wiring

6.1 Wiring Precautions

DANGER
z Before starting wiring, always switch off the GOT power externally in all
phases.
Not doing so may cause an electric shock, product damage or malfunction.

CAUTION
z Please make sure to ground FG terminal and LG terminal of the GOT power
supply section 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.

z Correctly wire the GOT power supply section after confirming the rated
voltage and terminal arrangement of the product.
Not doing so can cause a fire or failure.

z 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 the GOT.

z Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire offcuts entering
the GOT. Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

This section describes wiring to the GOT power supply section.

For the connection to a controller, refer to the following manual.

Remarks
General preventive measures against noise
There are two kinds of noises: Radiated noise that is transmitted into the air
and Conductive noise that is directly transmitted along connected lines.
Countermeasures must be taken considering both kinds of noises and
referring to the following 3 points.

(1) Protecting against noise

(a) Keep signal lines away from noise sources such as a power
cable or a high-power drive circuit.
(b) Shield the signal lines.
(2) Reducing generated noise
(a) Use a noise filter, etc. to reduce the level of the noise generated
due to a source such as a high-power motor drive circuit.
(b) Attach a surge suppressor on the terminal of the molded case
circuit breaker (MCCB), electromagnetic contactor, relay,
solenoid valve, or induction motor to supress the noise.
(3) Releasing noise to the ground
(a) Make sure to connect the ground cable to the ground.
(b) Use a short and thick cable to lower its ground resistance.
(c) Ground the power system and the control system separately.

48
6.2 Power Supply Wiring
• Make wiring connections to the power supply, I/O equipment and
power equipment separately by system as shown below.
When frequent noise is identified, connect an isolation
transformer.

• Twist 100V AC, 200V AC or 24V DC cable as closely as possible

and connect the cable of the minimum length between modules.
Also, use the thickest cable as possible (Max. 2mm2) to minimize
the voltage drop.
Use M3 solderless terminals and securely tighten them with a
tightening torque of 0.5 to 0.8N•m so that no problem will result.
• Separate the 100V AC, 200V AC or 24V DC cable from the main
circuit lines (high voltage, large current) and/or I/O signal lines.
Keep a distance of 100mm or more.
• As measures against surge due to lightning, connect a lightning
surge absorber as shown below.

 POINT
1. Separate the grounding of the lightning surge absorber (E1) from
the grounding of the GOT (E2).

2. Select an appropriate lightning surge absorber so that the supply

voltage does not exceed the maximum allowable circuit voltage
of the surge absorber even when it rises to the maximum.

6.3 Wiring to GOT Power Section

 POINT
(1) Precautions for wiring to the power supply section
• For 100V AC, 200V AC or 24V DC cable, use the thickest cable
as possible (Max.2mm2) and start twisting them at the position
closest to the connected terminals.
To prevent a short circuit due to loose screws, use the solderless
terminal with insulation sleeve.
• When connection is made between LG and FG terminals, be sure
to connect them to the ground.
Otherwise, the system becomes susceptible to noise.
Since the LG terminal has potential equal to a half of the input
voltage, touching the terminal may lead to an electric shock.
• When grounding the GT155 , ground it with the ground terminal
equipped at the lower-left corner on the GOT main unit back
face.(Refer to the previous page.)
Connect only the ground cables of the bus connection cable and
the CF card extension unit connection cable to the FG terminal.

(2) Wiring the power section of the GT155 when using an

extension unit
• Be sure to wire the power section before connecting a cable to the
extension unit.
If connecting a cable to the extension unit before wiring the power
section, the terminal block of the power section will be blocked by
the cable and the power section cannot be wired.

6.4 Grouding
6.4.1 Grounding the GOT

About grounding
Perform the following three items for grounding.
• Independent grounding should be performed as possible for
the GOT.

6.4.2 Wiring-related malfunction causes and the measures
examples
The malfunction causes in grounding the GOT include potential
difference caused by groundings and noise.
Potential difference and noise may be reduced by taking the following
measures.

Wiring of GOT's ground cable and power line

When the ground cable and power line of the GOT are installed
together, the GOT may malfunction due to noise.
Separating the ground cable and power line of the GOT in wiring
reduces the influence of noise.

 The malfunction occurred by the potential difference caused by
the groundings in such a case, may be prevented by reducing the
voltage with the following measure example 1, where the voltage
is reduced.

Measure example 1 (Refer to the measure examples 1-1 and 1-2

below.)
When any potential difference occurs between the ground cable
and the panel having the GOT and the GOT is influenced by the
potential difference, connect another ground cable to the panel.
When taking of measure 1-1 is difficult since the wiring cannot be
done for example, perform the wiring as shown in 1-2.

 6.5 Panel Inside Wiring, Panel Outside Wiring
6.5.1 Panel inside wiring
In wiring, the power line connected to the power or servo amplifier and
the communication cable such as bus connection cable or network
cable must not be mixed.
Mixing the power line and communication cable may cause
malfunction due to noise.
When using an equipment that may occur surge noise, such as molded
case circuit breaker (MCCB), electromagnetic contactor (MC), relay
(RA), solenoid valve, or induction motor, using a surge suppressor is
effective.
For surge suppressor, refer to the following.

6.6 Attaching Surge Suppressor for Control Equipment
If an improper operation such as communication error occurs in the
GOT in synchronization with ON/OFF of a particular control equipment
(hereinafter abbreviated to load) such as MCCB, electromagnetic
contactor, relay, solenoid valve, or induction motor, the GOT may be
influenced by surge noise.
In such a case, install the ground cable or communication cable apart
from the load.
If the ground cable or communication cable has to be installed close to
the load unavoidably, attaching a surge suppressor is effective.
Attach the surge suppressor at the position closest to the load.
