[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

zDo not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or lay them close to each other. As a guide, separate the lines by a distance of at least 100 mm (3.94 inch) otherwise malfunctions may occur due to noise.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

zBe sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or removing this unit to/from the GOT.

Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.

zBefore connecting the Bus connection cable to this unit, always shut off GOT power and PLC CPU power externally in all phases.Not doing so can cause a malfunction.

CAUTION

zUse this unit in the environment given in the general specifications of the GT15 User's Manual.Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or deterioration.

zWhen installing this unit to the GOT, 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 screw or unit damage.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

zBe sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before wiring.

Failure to do so may result in an electric shock, product damage or malfunctions.

CAUTION

zUse crimp-contact, pressure-displacement or soldering to wire the connectors for external connections properly using the manufacturer-specified tools.

If the connection is incomplete, it may cause the module to short circuit, catch fire, or malfunction.

zConnect the connectors to the unit securely.

zAlways secure the cables connected to the unit, e.g. run them in conduits or clamp them.

Not doing so can cause unit or cable damage due to dangling, moved or accidentally pulled cables or can cause a malfunction due to a cable contact fault.

[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

zBefore starting cleaning, always shut off GOT power externally in all phases. Not doing so can cause a unit failure or malfunction.

CAUTION

zDo not disassemble or modify any unit.This will cause failure, malfunction, injuries, or fire.zDo not touch the conductive areas and electronic parts of this unit directly.Doing so can cause a unit malfunction or failure.

zExercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire offcuts entering the unit.

Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

zDo not hold the cable part when unplugging any cable connected to the unit. Doing so can cause unit or cable damage or a malfunction due to a cable contact fault.

zAlways make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body, etc., before touching the unit. Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the unit.

[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

zDispose of this product as industrial waste.[TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

zMake sure to transport the GOT main unit and/or relevant unit(s) in the manner they will not be exposed to the impact exceeding the impact resistance described in the general specifications of the GT15 User's Manual, as they are precision devices.

Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail.Check if the unit operates correctly after transportation.ManualsThe following shows manuals relevant to this product.Detailed Manual

4. Installation Procedure
4.1 Serial communication unit installation

The following figures show an example of the GT15-RS2-9P/ RS4-9S installation.The installation of the GT15-RS4-TE follows the same procedure.

(1)Power off the GOT.(2)Remove the one extension unit covers of the GOT.(3)Fit the Ethernet communication unit along the groove of the GOT case.

(4)Fasten the Ethernet communication unit by tightening its mounting screws (2 places) with tightening torque 0.36 to 0.48 N•m.

(5)When installing a communication unit on the outer layer, remove the connector cover and peel the seal. When not mounting any communication unit on the outer layer, stick accessory labels on the top of mounting screws (2 places) to cover the top of them in order to avoid receiving electrostatic.

Keep the connector cover fixed. Keep the seal stuck as it is.Accessory labelsConnector coverSealPoint

If you remove the serial communication unit, detach it from specified direction (shown PULL) so as not to break a connector.

4.2Terminal block socket installation (For GT15-RS4-TE only)(1)Insert the terminal block socket in the serial communication unit.

A

(2)Fasten the terminal block by tightening the terminal block fixing screws (2 places) with the tightening torque of 0.20 to 0.25 N•m.

(Expanded figure of part A)A terminal block fixing screwPoint

When attaching or removing a communication cable to/from the terminal block socket, detach the terminal block socket from the connector.

(When communication units are installed in multiple layers, the units do not have to be removed from the GOT main unit.)
