[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING Some failures of the GOT, communication unit or cable may keep the outputs on or off.
Some failures of a touch panel may cause malfunction of the input objects such as a touch switch. 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.
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.
When the GOT backlight has a failure, the GOT status will be as follows. Failure to observe this instruction may result in an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction. [GT27, GT25, GT23] The POWER LED blinks (orange/blue), the display section dims, and inputs by a touch switch are disabled. [GT2105-Q] The POWER LED blinks (orange/blue), and the display section dims. However, inputs by a touch switch are still available. [GT2107-W, GT2104-R, GT2104-P, GT2103-P] The display section dims. However, inputs by a touch switch are still available. Even if the display section dims, inputs by a touch switch may still be available. This may cause an unintended operation of the touch switch. For example, if an operator assumes that the display section has dimmed because of the screen save function and touches the display section to cancel the screen save, a touch switch may be activated. The GOT backlight failure can be checked with a system signal of the GOT. (This system signal is not available on GT2107-W, GT2104-R, GT2104-P, and GT2103-P.)

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING The display section of the GOT is an analog-resistive type touch panel.
When multiple points of the display section are touched simultaneously, an accident may occur due to incorrect output or malfunction. [GT27] Do not touch three points or more simultaneously on the display section. Doing so may cause an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. [GT25,GT23,GT21] Do not touch two points or more simultaneously on the display section. Doing so may operate the switch located around the center of the touched point, or may cause an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
When programs or parameters of the controller (such as a PLC) that is monitored by the GOT are changed, be sure to reset the GOT, or turn on the unit again after shutting off the power as soon as possible. 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 (GT27 and GT25 only): The GOT becomes inoperative. Power on the PLC CPU again to reestablish communication. 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.
To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the GOT and the system against unauthorized access, DoS*1 attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks from unreliable networks and devices via network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions. Mitsubishi Electric shall have no responsibility or liability for any problems involving GOT trouble and system trouble by unauthorized access, DoS attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks. *1 DoS: A denial-of-service (DoS) attack disrupts services by overloading systems or exploiting vulnerabilities, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) state.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS]
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.
Do not press the GOT display section with a pointed material as a pen or driver. Doing so can result in a damage or failure of the display section.
When the GOT connects to an Ethernet network, the IP address setting is restricted according to the system configuration. [GT27, GT25, GT23] When a GOT2000 series model and a GOT1000 series model are on an Ethernet network, do not set the IP address 192.168.0.18 for the GOTs and the controllers on this network. Doing so can cause IP address duplication at the GOT startup, adversely affecting the communication of the device with the IP address 192.168.0.18. The operation at the IP address duplication depends on the devices and the system. [GT21] Setting the IP address (192.168.3.18) in the following system configurations can cause IP address duplication at GOT startup, adversely affecting communications of the device whose IP address is 192.168.3.18. The operation at IP address duplication depends on the devices and the system. When multiple GOTs connect to the Ethernet network: Do not set the IP address (192.168.3.18) for the GOTs and the controllers in the network. When one GOT connects to the Ethernet network: Do not set the IP address (192.168.3.18) for the controllers other than the GOT in the network.
When using the Ethernet interfaces, set an IP address for each interface to access a different network. Failure to do so can cause a communication error on the GOT.
Turn on the controllers and the network devices to be ready for communication before they communicate with the GOT.
When the GOT is subject to shock or vibration, or some colors appear on the screen of the GOT, the screen of the GOT might flicker.
WARNING Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or
removing the GOT main unit to/from the panel. Not doing so can cause the unit to fail or malfunction.

Precautions
Display of the system configuration diagram The system configuration diagram has two types: the system configuration diagram for the system launcher and the one for the extended function. When you select a module supported by the system launcher, the system configuration diagram for the system launcher appears. When you select a module unsupported by the system launcher, the system configuration diagram for the extended function used appears if it is available. For the screen transition of the system configuration diagram for the extended function, refer to the extended function used. When the system application (extended function) for the system launcher is not installed on the GOT, even though you select a module supported by the system launcher, the system configuration diagram for the extended function used appears.
Precautions for online module change When you replace a module of a PLC while the PLC is on line, the target module stops its operation. Check that the operations of the PLC are not affected, and then replace the module. The following shows the applicable modules. QCPU(Q mode) Input module, Output module, Input/Output module, Analog input module, Analog output module, Temperature input module, Temperature control module, Loop control module, Pulse input module For the details of the online module change, refer to the following. Manual of the CPU or module used
When displaying with GT SoftGOT2000 In the case of GT SoftGOT2000, target screens in the following table are displayed according to the following conditions: The screens are displayed so that they fit with the GOT screen resolution and orientation set in GT Designer3. If the screens fit both in vertical display and horizontal display, they are displayed horizontally. Any screens other than the target screens are displayed in the same way as the GOT2000 series. The following shows the sizes of the target screens displayed with GT SoftGOT2000.
*1 If the GT SoftGOT2000 resolution set in GT Designer3 is higher than the resolution of the target screen, the target screen will be displayed at the center of the GT SoftGOT2000 screen. In that case, the margin around the target screen will be filled with black.

File switching for comment display ([Change comment]) The comment file to be displayed can be switched. This function cannot be used with the BM monitor.
Comment files which can be displayed when connected to the RCPU, MELSEC iQ-F, Motion CPU (MELSEC iQ-R series), robot controller (MELSEC iQ-R series), or CNC C80 The device comments can be displayed on monitor screens by storing comment files into the data storage using the GX Works3 function of writing data to a memory card.
Comment file storage destination Comment files for all the controllers or specified controllers in the SEQCMNT folder can be used for the device monitor. Comment files for all the controllers can be commonly used for all the connected controllers. Comment files for specified controllers can be used when a CPU having the channel number, network number, station number, and CPU number of the folders storing the comment files is connected. The SEQDAT folder stores temporary files used for the device monitor. (User access is prohibited.)
Precautions for comment files The file extension of comment files is ".DCM". One-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used in a comment file name. The number of characters used for a comment file name excluding the extension is within 60 for comment files for all the
controllers and 38 for comment files for specified controllers. Only comment files output from FX5CPU projects can be used for the FX5CPU. Comment files output from any project can be used for the RCPU and CNC C80.

Precautions
Precautions for sequence program monitor (Ladder) Operation while the sequence program monitor (Ladder) is running Do not perform the following operations with the GOT during sequence program monitor (Ladder) startup. Doing so may cause the stored data to be deleted, or the sequence program monitor (Ladder) to run improperly. Opening the SD card cover (when an SD card is used) Installing/removing the data storage (SD card or USB memory)
Backup Before editing a sequence program with the sequence program monitor (Ladder), make sure to back up the program with the backup/restoration function so that you can restore the original program. Page 401 BACKUP/RESTORATION
Precautions for the online program change Precautions for the online program change are the same as the online program change with GX Works2/GX Developer, except the followings. For details of precautions on the online program change, refer to the followings. GX Works2 Version1 Operating Manual (Common) GX Developer Version8 Operating Manual QnUCPU User's Manual (Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals) The following items are the difference between GX Works2/GX Developer online program change. Online program change is not available for programs other than program memories. Online program change cannot be executed with the pointer at the top. Do not execute the online program change simultaneously from multiple points. Online program change is not available by file unit. No option setting is available for preventing from executing the fall instruction. Online program change is not available when the reserved area is exceeded by the change. Execute Write to PLC when the reserved area is exceeded. The setting whether to transfer or not to the program memory cannot be changed after the writing is completed. When the online program change to the universal model QCPU is executed, all the program cache memory information is transferred at once, after the online program change. If the setting of GOT days and time is February 29th when using the Q00JCPU, Q01CPU or Q00CPU, the online program change cannot be executed. Change days and time of the GOT to something other than February 29th and execute the online program change again.
Precautions for creating the program The sequence program monitor (ladder) is not available for the program which uses labels. When using the sequence program monitor (ladder), create the program in the simple project which does not use labels.
Programs that cannot be edited The following programs cannot be edited with the ladder editor. Program consisting of ladder blocks with 25 lines or more Even if a ladder block is displayed with 24 lines or less on GX Works2 or GX Developer, the block may be displayed with 25 lines or more on the GOT.

Precautions for sequence program monitor (iQ-R Ladder) Operation while the sequence program monitor (iQ-R ladder) is running Do not perform the following operations on the GOT while the sequence program monitor (iQ-R ladder) is running. Doing so may cause the stored data to be deleted, or the sequence program monitor (iQ-R ladder) to run improperly. Opening the SD card cover (when an SD card is used) Installing/removing the data storage (SD card or USB memory)
Backup Before editing a sequence program with the sequence program monitor (iQ-R ladder), make sure to back up the program with the backup/restoration function so that you can restore the original program. Page 401 BACKUP/RESTORATION
Files and programs that cannot be displayed on the ladder display The ladder display does not support the following files and programs. File protected with a security key File protected with a block password Ladder block that includes structured text or inline structured text Files that include the output instruction using one of the following labels Timer, retentive timer, counter, long timer, long retentive timer, long counter
Programs that cannot be edited The following programs cannot be edited with the ladder editor. Program consisting of multiple program blocks Program other than the ladder program Program using a label Program using an inline ST Program using an MC/MCR instruction Program using a statement that exceeds 64 one-byte characters Program using a character string constant that exceeds 32 one-byte characters Program using a note that exceeds 32 one-byte characters Program using a peripheral statement or note Program using a line feed in a statement, note, or character string constant Program using the special character ($") in a character string constant Safety program Program using an FB or FUN Program consisting of ladder blocks with 25 lines or more Even if a ladder block is displayed with 24 lines or less on GX Works3, the block may be displayed with 25 lines or more on the GOT.
Unreadable programs The sequence program monitor (iQ-R ladder) cannot read the sequence program files, if the files use notes for the instructions that start with "M." or "MP." to access other CPU modules.
Display of programs using FBs or FUNs The ladder monitor screen displays programs that FBs or FUNs, while the programs look differently in GX Works3. The programs contained in FBs or FUNs do not display. In the location where an FB or FUN is used, a function block call statement or function call statement appears. The following shows FBs or FUNs that are displayed as a call instruction. Subroutine type function block (created by users) Standard function block Function block and function included in the application library or MELSOFT Library (Sample library) Function (created by users) Standard function

When changing the head addresses on CPU side to which refresh parameter is set The network monitor cannot be displayed correctly if the SB and SW head addresses of the CPU side are changed when refresh parameter is set in the network parameter. To monitor the network with the GOT, set the SB and SW head addresses on CPU side to default. However, for CC-Link IE field network connection, set the SB and SW head addresses on CPU side according to the position where the network module is installed.
When monitoring the network status of MELSECNET/H, CC-Link IE TSN, CC-Link IE Controller Network, or CC-Link IE Field Network Even if the status of a network module on MELSECNET/H, CC-Link IE TSN, CC-Link IE Controller Network, or CC-Link IE Field Network is being monitored, the status of a network module on MELSECNET/10 is displayed in the following cases. The normal station has been started due to a communication error (cable disconnection, etc.) The monitor target is the remote master station.
When monitoring the network status of MELSECNET(II) When connected to a QnACPU and the master station of the MELSECNET(II), monitoring cannot be done with the keyword being defined.
When the CPU type of the connection target of the GOT is AnNCPU or AnACPU Even when using the network module of the MELSECNET/10, the network information that can be monitored is the content of the MELSECNET(II).
Display of loop status for CC-Link IE Field Network In ring topology with CC-Link IE field network, if an error occurs in a local module which is not directly connected to a master module and the network comes into loopback status, information cannot be acquired from the master station. Therefore, in the above case, the loop status cannot be displayed on the line monitor normally.

Servo on For test operation of JOG operation/positioning operation, the SON digital input signal of the servo amplifier is turned on automatically in the servo amplifier to start operation, regardless of the ON/OFF status of the SON signal of the digital I/O signal of the servo amplifier. In addition, the servo amplifier does not accept any external command pulses and input signals (excluding emergency stop) until the test operation screen is exited. The SON automatically turns on when touching the [Forward] key or [Reverse] key on the JOG operation screen or positioning operation screen of the servo amplifier monitor.
Stop To perform an emergency stop, turn off the emergency stop signal of the servo amplifier or turn off the input power. Use the following procedure to stop test operation from the servo amplifier monitor. JOG operation Release the [Forward] key or [Reverse] key. Positioning operation Touch the [Pause] key. The servo motor stops if any of the following states occurs during test operation. The communication cable is disconnected. The screen is switched to another servo amplifier monitor screen or the servo amplifier monitor is exited. However, during motor-less operation, the test mode is not canceled until the servo amplifier is powered off.
Preparations for test operations When performing test operations, it is necessary to make the test operation settings on the connected servo amplifier. Refer to the manual of the connected servo amplifier for details of making settings on the servo amplifier to perform test operations.
Do not operate the servo amplifier switches with wet hands. Doing so can cause an electric shock. Do not perform operations with the front cover of the servo amplifier removed. Doing so can cause an electric shock since the high-voltage terminals and live parts are exposed. Do not open the front cover of the servo amplifier when the power is on or during operation. Doing so can cause an electric shock.
WARNING
Check parameters of the servo amplifier before starting operation. Unexpected operations may occur depending on the machine. The heat sink, regenerative brake resistor, servo motor and other parts of the servo amplifier may be hot while the power is on or for a period after the power is turned off; therefore, do not touch or bring parts (cables etc.) close to them. Doing so can cause fire or damage to the parts.
CAUTION Be sure to read the precautions for test operation in the manuals of the servo amplifier before performing a test operation.

Precautions
Precautions for backup Data that cannot be backed up The GOT cannot back up device current values and data stored in device memories. For collecting device current values, use the recipe function. For how to use the recipe function, refer to the following manual. GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Screen Design Manual For collecting data stored in device memories, use GX Developer.
Names of files to be backed up When characters other than the characters defined in the shift JIS code and ASCII code are used for file names, the file names may not be correctly displayed with the data backed up on the GOT. For using the backup/restoration function, use characters in the JIS code and ASCII code for file names.
Backing up data stored in file registers Because backing up data stored in file registers takes a long time, some file register data may have different time stamps in one backup data. Therefore, synchronism of the data is not assured. Backing up intelligent function module parameters
Backing up intelligent function module parameters For backing up an intelligent function module parameter (IPARAM.QPA), only the parameters that can be stored in the PLC CPU are the target parameters. To store other intelligent function module parameters than those, GX Configurator applied to GX Works2 and the intelligent function module is required. For the intelligent function module parameters that can be stored in the PLC CPU, refer to the following. GX Works2 Version 1 Operating Manual (Intelligent Function Module)
Backing up in a multiple CPU configuration The backup operation in a multiple CPU configuration varies depending on whether the backup/restoration function of CPU No.1 is supported. When CPU No.1 does not support the backup/restoration function When connected to an RCPU, the GOT skips CPU No.1 and determines whether the CPUs after No.2 are the backup target. When the CPUs after No.2 do not support the backup/restoration function, the GOT skips backing up data for the CPUs and backs up data for the next CPU. When connected to a CPU other than RCPU, the GOT does not acquire information about the multiple configuration from CPU No.1; therefore the GOT does not back up data for the CPUs after No.2 as well. When CPU No.1 supports the backup/restoration function Determine whether the CPUs after No.2 are backup targets. When the CPUs after No.2 do not support the backup/restoration function, the GOT skips backing up data for the CPUs and backs up data for the next CPU.

Precautions for restore Communication status between GOT and target controllers For restoring data, enable the target controllers of the restoration to communicate with the GOT.

STOP status during restoration CPUs for the programmable controller and motion are in the STOP status with the remote STOP before the restoration. For the CNC C70, the CNC ladder is in the STOP status. The CPUs and CNC ladder remain in the STOP status after the restoration is completed. Restart the controllers.
When restoration is canceled When the restoration is canceled, all the data are not restored to the controllers and the controllers may not correctly operate. When the restoration is canceled, be sure to execute the restoration again. The CPUs and CNC ladder remain in the STOP status after the restoration is canceled. Restart the controllers.
System configuration with controllers for restoration Set the same system configuration with the controllers for the restoration as those for the backup. Failure to do so disables the GOT to restore data to the controllers. When the system configuration with the controllers for the restoration is the same as those for the backup, the GOT can restore data to the controllers even if the connection type and CH No. for the restoration differ from those for the backup.
Controller operations Controllers may malfunction by changing set values, device values, and others during the restoration. Check that data to be restored is the appropriate data, and then execute the restoration with paying attention to the controller operations.

Common precautions for backup and restore Password for backup/restoration When a password for a controller is changed after setting the password for the backup/restoration, set a new password for the backup/restoration. For setting the password for the backup/restoration, refer to the following. Page 433 Security and password
Precautions for GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Do not execute the following operations with GT Designer3 (GOT2000) during the backup/restoration. BootOS installation package data, the communication driver, the standard monitor OS, and the extended function system application download When the above operations are executed, the backup/restoration is stopped.
Precautions for GX Developer Do not access the target controller of the backup/restoration with GX Developer during the backup/restoration. Doing so stops the backup/restoration. Do not execute the backup/restoration on the GOT while the target controller of the backup/restoration is accessed by GX
Developer. Doing so causes a communication error on GX Developer. (The backup/restoration is executed.)
Precautions for using multiple GOTs Do not access the target controller of the backup/restoration with multiple GOTs at the same time. Doing so stops the backup/restoration.
CPU with a security key When RCPU or the Motion CPU (MELSEC iQ-R series) is used The backup/restoration can be executed even for a CPU module to which a security key is set. When QnUDVCPU, QnUDPVCPU, Q17nDSCPU, or Q170MSCPU is used The backup/restoration cannot be executed on the CPU on which the security key is set. (The RCPU and the Motion CPU (MELSEC iQ-R series) are excluded.) To execute the backup/restoration, check the setting of the CPU. When the target controllers of the backup/restoration include both the CPU with the security key and the CPU without the security key, the backup/restoration is executed only for the CPU without the security key.
Precautions for using the Flash card In the Flash card, all pieces of backup data created by the backup/restoration function are saved in one file (FlashCard.dat).

Precautions for QCPU Restoring data to QCPU The restoration to QCPU with the factory-settings or whose memory is formatted is available only in the following cases. For a single CPU system: When the connection type is the bus connection or direct CPU connection (serial) For a multiple CPU system: When the connection type is the direct CPU connection (serial) However, in a multiple CPU system which includes a QCPU with the factory-settings or whose memory is formatted, batch restoration to multiple controllers cannot be performed. Restore each controller with the following procedure.
QnUD(P)VCPU for which [Disable clearing operation history] is selected Data cannot be restored to the QnUD(P)VCPU for which [Disable clearing operation history] is selected. To restore data, deselect [Disable clearing operation history]. Even if [Disable clearing operation history] is selected, data will be restored to the QnUD(P)VCPU when an SD card is specified as the storage destination of the operation history file. You can back up the data of the QnUD(P)VCPU for which [Disable clearing operation history] is selected.
Precautions for MELSERVO-J4 series Restoration procedure Use the rotary switch of a servo amplifier to set the network number and station number that are specified in the controller list file. For the setting method, refer to the manual of the servo amplifier used. After the setting, turn off and then on the servo amplifier. Perform restoration on the GOT.
Engineering tool The GOT backup/restoration function backs up the data of a servo amplifier to the data storage installed in the GOT. You can read the data from the data storage by using the engineering tool (MR Configurator2 Ver1.52E or later). However, the GOT backup/restoration function cannot restore the data edited with the engineering tool.
Backup The GOT collectively backs up the data of all the MELSERVO-J4 series servo amplifiers that are specified by their network numbers and station numbers in the controller list file.
Restoration To restore data to MELSERVO-J4 series servo amplifiers, select target servo amplifiers based on the network numbers and station numbers. All the data for the selected servo amplifiers are restored. In the absolute position detection system, if you replace a servo amplifier and then restore data to the new one, set the home position again. After restoration is performed, turn off and then on the servo amplifier.
Backup/restoration availability The backup/restoration is available in the cases shown below. (: Available, : Not available)

Precautions for MELSEC iQ-F If you enter an incorrect password 20 times consecutively, the controller will be locked. To unlock the controller, restart it. For the trigger backup, if you enter an incorrect password 20 times consecutively, a message saying that the controller has been locked will not appear.
Precautions for Motion CPUs OS for Motion CPU The OS for the Motion CPU cannot be backed up or restored. For backing up or restoring setting data for the Motion CPU, install an appropriate OS on the Motion CPU in advance.
Backup/restoration target The GOT backs up or restores data stored in the SRAM built in the Motion CPU, regardless of the operation mode. For writing data to the FLASH ROM built in the Motion CPU, restore the data to the SRAM, and then write the data in the SRAM to the FLASH ROM with MT Developer.
Backup For backing up data for controllers including the Motion CPU, do not set the Motion CPU to the installation mode. When the Motion CPU is set to the installation mode, the GOT does not back up data for the Motion CPU. (The GOT backs up data for the other controllers on the same base unit.)
Restoration For restoring data to controllers including the Motion CPU, do not set the Motion CPU to the installation mode or test mode. Doing so stops the restoration operation of the GOT. When the restoration is stopped, be sure to execute the restoration again. Failure to do so causes the GOT not to write all the data into the controllers, resulting in incorrect operations of the controllers.
Compatibility of the backup data from the Motion CPU (MELSEC iQ-R series) Restore the following backup data with the operating system software version that operates the Motion CPU properly after the restoration.
*1 The Motion CPU may not operate properly when its operating system software version differs between the backup execution and restoration execution. Use the same version operating system software for the Motion CPU to execute the backup and restoration.

Precautions for FR-A800 series, FR-A800 Plus series, and FR-F800 series Restoration procedure Use the parameter unit (PU) to set the network number and station number that are specified in the controller list file. For the setting method, refer to the manual of the inverter used. After the setting, turn off and then on the inverter. Perform restoration on the GOT.
Engineering tool The GOT backup/restoration function backs up the data of an inverter to the data storage installed in the GOT. You can read the data from the data storage by using the engineering tool (FR Configurator2 Ver1.10L or later). After editing the backup data with the engineering tool, you can restore the data to the servo amplifier by using the GOT backup/restoration function. Do not change the file name and the extension, or you cannot restore the data.
Backup The GOT collectively backs up the data of all the FR-A800 series, FR-A800 Plus series, and FR-F800 series inverters that are specified by their network numbers and station numbers in the controller list file.
Restoration To restore data to the FR-A800 series, FR-A800 Plus series, and FR-F800 series inverters, select target inverters based on the network numbers and station numbers. All the data for the selected inverters are restored.

Backup data which contains source information When the target FXCPU of the restoration does not support source information, the backup data which contains source information cannot be restored.
Precautions for using the CNC C70 Handling backup data Although some backup data can be checked with a text editor, do not change the contents. If the contents are changed, the data cannot be restored.
Individual restoration of the C language module The C language module cannot be restored on the individual restoration screen of the GOT. To restore the C language module individually, use Remote Monitor Tool whose version is C0 or later. For Remote Monitor Tool, refer to the following. MITSUBISHI CNC C70 / C64 Series Remote monitor tool Operating Manual
Precautions for using the CNC C80 Handling backup data Although some backup data can be checked with a text editor, do not change the contents. If the contents are changed, the data cannot be restored.
Precautions for robot controller Restoration during program execution The restoration cannot be performed during program execution.
Confirmation before restoring Confirm the error cause in advance, since the error record is deleted by restoring. Confirm that the error C7500 "No battery voltage" does not occur when restoring.
Restoration when replacing a robot If models of robots are different, the restoration cannot be performed. If a robot, motor, reducer, or belt is replaced, configure the origin setting. If a robot controller is compatible with the maintenance forecast, reset the maintenance forecast when replacing the robot or belt.
Operations during backing up or restoration on the GOT Do not execute [Program read], [Program save], [Backup/Restore] or others for robot controllers to be backed up or restored from RT ToolBox2 or R56TB, while backing up or restoring on the GOT. Doing so causes lack of consistency of data in a robot controller or acquired from RT ToolBox2.
Version of the robot controller The backed up data of the robot controller version R1d/S1d or later cannot be restored in the robot controller version R1c/S1c or earlier.
Edit and restoration of backup data The data backed up on the GOT can be edited and restored with RT ToolBox3 or RT ToolBox2. To edit and restore data with RT ToolBox3 or RT ToolBox2, copy the data backed up on the GOT to the Backup folder in the project folder in RT ToolBox3 or RT ToolBox2. However, the following data cannot be restored on the GOT. Data edited with RT ToolBox3 or RT ToolBox2 after the backup on the GOT Data backed up with RT ToolBox3, RT ToolBox2, or R56TB

Background processing stop By the background processing stop signal (GS522.b0), background processing by other functions (alarm, logging, device monitoring) can be stopped during the backup/restoration. When background processing is performed, the backup/restoration and other functions are alternately performed. Therefore, backup/restoration takes much time, but the monitoring of the controller continues. When background processing is not performed, processing of other functions stop until the backup/restoration is completed. Therefore, the monitoring of the controller stops, but the backup/restoration takes less time.
Log file save setting Before background processing is stopped, set the file saving for the functions that collect log data such as the alarm and logging. Without setting the file saving, all log data such as alarm data and logging data are lost after backup/ restoration is completed. Functions disabled during background processing stop When background processing is stopped, in the backup/restoration, all functions stop except for the backup/ restoration. Therefore, the following functions that collect log data cannot acquire the data in the backup/restoration. Alarm function Operation log function Logging function Recipe function Background processing stop for trigger backup During the trigger backup, turning on the background processing stop signal (GS522.b0) does not stop background processing.

Security and password By setting the passwords, the password authentication is available when the backup/restoration is executed. The password authentication uses the password for the backup/restoration and passwords for controllers.
The following shows the passwords used for the backup/restoration.
After the first backup (after setting the password for the backup/restoration), the user has no need to input the passwords for the controllers. (The passwords for the controllers are automatically verified.) The following shows the security advantages.
Before setting password for backup/restoration When the user forgets the password for the backup/restoration, the backup/restoration cannot be executed. In that case, execute the backup again by using a formatted or new data strage.

Trigger backup The GOT can automatically back up setting data for controllers with the trigger device or the days and time set. Setting the trigger type selects whether to execute the backup with the trigger device or with the days and time.
When trigger type is set to [Rise] The GOT executes the backup when the set trigger device turns on. Use the backup with the trigger device for automatically backing up setting data for controllers after the setting data are changed.
When trigger type is set to [Time] The GOT executes the backup at the specified time on the specified days. Use the backup with the time for backing up setting data periodically.
Maximum number of backup data With the trigger backup, the maximum number of backup data to be stored can be specified. When the number of backup data exceeds the maximum number of backup data, the GOT automatically deletes the oldest backup data. Therefore, the GOT does not fail to store the latest backup data.
Checking backup data changes When performing backup, the GOT compares the previous backup data with the setting data, for each controller. When the current setting data for any of the controllers differ from the previous backup data, the GOT backs up setting data for all the controllers on the same base unit. When the current setting data for all the controllers are the same as the previous backup data, the GOT does not execute the backup. Therefore, the GOT does not store the same backup data.

Error handling When an error occurs during the trigger backup, the backup error notification device stores the trigger ID corresponding to the trigger setting set for the backup with the error, and a system alarm occurs. Check the system alarm, and then remove error causes. For system alarms and corrective actions, refer to the following manual. GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Screen Design Manual The backup error notification device stores 0 when the next trigger backup is executed.
Setting send delay time The backup/restoration function can set the delay time for backup communication intervals. Setting of the delay time can reduce the load of other processes (such as monitoring objects) with the backup process. The actually time set by the set value is listed as follows.
Setting of trigger backup data send delay Backup communication times are longer than a default when the trigger backup data send delay is set. Set the suitable delay time to match the processing condition of backup function and others (such as monitoring objects).

Precautions for trigger backup The following shows precautions for the trigger backup.
GOT operations during trigger backup The GOT may take a long time to monitor devices and to operate during the trigger backup. Execute the trigger backup when the operator does not operate the GOT. Updating data with the functions that collect device values, including the logging function, may also take a long time.
Displaying device name on GOT When the trigger device is set to [Rise], the GOT displays the device name of [??] without the device name converter installed. For displaying the device name correctly, install the device name converter on the GOT.
First backup The trigger backup is unavailable for the first backup. Manually execute the first backup, and then set the password for the backup/restoration and passwords for controllers. After the settings, set the trigger backup.
Passwords for controllers When passwords for controllers stored in the backup setting differ from current passwords for the controllers, the backup operation is canceled. For executing the trigger backup, check that passwords for controllers have no changes. When the backup operation is canceled, manually execute the backup again, and then input correct passwords.
File register backup To check if the file register has been changed, the date of the last file update and the date of writing data to the controller are compared. If the device values in the file register is changed, backup is not executed. Set the backup data not to be checked for changes so that all data in the file register is backed up. For the details, refer to the following. GOT2000 Series Users Manual (Utility)
Checking file register changes When the trigger backup is frequently executed, set [Check the file register changes] to [Not execute] with the GOT utility because data stored in file registers frequently changes. When [Check the file register changes] is set to [Execute], the GOT backs up data stored in the file registers every time the trigger condition is met even if the other setting data for the controller are not changed. As a result, the number of backup data increases in the SD card. When the number of backup data exceeds the maximum number of backup data, old backup data are deleted. For obtaining data stored in file registers only, use the recipe function. For how to use the ecipe function, refer to the following. GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Screen Design Manual
Backup on a Motion CPU, robot controller or FXCPU If the following are to be backed up, the GOT does not compare the previous backup data with the controller setting data. A Motion CPU and robot controller are mounted on the same base unit. FXCPU As a result, the GOT executes the backup even if the setting data for the controllers have no changes. For backing up setting data only when the data are changed, set the trigger type to [Rise]. Create a sequence program so that the trigger device turns on only when the setting data are changed. Therefore, the number of backup data can be minimized.

Backup on a robot controller The robot controller is not compatible with checking changes. Therefore, if the backup is executed in the following way, the communication speed and program execution speed may slow. The trigger backup is frequently executed. Multiple robot controllers are connected. Backup data is large, due to the large number of programs.
Screens that trigger backup can be executed The trigger backup can be executed only when the GOT displays a monitor screen. When the trigger condition is met while the GOT displays a screen other than monitor screens, including the utility screen
and ladder monitor screen, the GOT does not execute the backup. When a screen other than monitor screens is switched to a monitor screen, the GOT executes the backup. When a monitor screen is switched to a screen other than monitor screens during the trigger backup, the GOT stops the
backup and the GOT deletes the data in process. When the screen is switched to a monitor screen, the GOT executes the backup again. When the following are operated, the GOT does not execute the backup even if a screen other than monitor screens is
switched to a monitor screen. Restarting the GOT Changing the trigger backup setting with the GOT utility

When another trigger condition is met during backup The GOT cannot detect that another trigger condition is met.
For ensuring the trigger backup, establish a handshake with the trigger device and the process notification device. An example of a handshake is shown on the next page.
1. The trigger device (Trigger ID: 1) turns on, and then the GOT starts the backup (Trigger ID: 1).
2. When the backup is started, the process notification device (Trigger ID: 1) turns on, and the trigger backup processing setting No. notification (GS657) stores the trigger ID.
When the process notification device turns on, the trigger device (Trigger ID: 1) turns off.
3. When the backup (Trigger ID: 1) is completed, the GOT recognizes that the trigger device (Trigger ID: 2) is on and the GOT starts the backup (Trigger ID: 2).
4. When the backup is started, the process notification device (Trigger ID: 2) turns on, and the trigger backup processing setting No. notification (GS657) stores the trigger ID.
When the process notification device turns on, the trigger device (Trigger ID: 2) turns off.

Operations if an error occurs during backup If an error occurs, the backup being executed is canceled and the error dialog box is displayed. (The error is displayed by the controller set in the controller list file.) After the error dialog box is closed, the backup to the next controller set in the controller list file is continued. However, the backup data cannot be written because a SD card is not installed or does not have sufficient capacity, the backup to all controllers is canceled.
Handling of the backup data when the backup is canceled Backup data of controllers canceled for an error occurrence or a cancellation of password input on the controller is deleted by the controller set in the controller list file. Backup data backed up normally remains by the controller set in the controller list file.
Operations if a password on the controller is set to the backup target If the password input on the controller is canceled, the backup being executed is canceled and the backup to the next controller set in the controller list file is continued. If a password for backup or restoration is set on the GOT, a password on the controller can be input to the controller, for which the password input was canceled, at the next time.
