Ref er ence
The following describes the system structure for connecting the GP to Fuji
Electric Corporation, Ltd. PLCs.
Cable Diagrams mentioned in the following tables are listed
in the section titled "2.3.2 Cable Diagrams".
In the LS area, 32-bit devices are not supported. Therefore, when
System Area addresses are allocated to BD, DL, or W33 devices,
only System Area (LS0 to LS19) addresses can be used. Other LS
areas, such as the user area, etc. should not be used.

Important
*1 When expansion units are attached via a T-Link system to a main PLC unit,
and more than 2 link units are attached to the expansion unit, the GP unit can
be attached to only one of the link units. (Simultaneous connection to 2 link
units is not possible.)
Simultaneous connection to 2 link units is possible only when they are at-
tached to the main PLC unit.

Important
Careful!
Careful!
The cable diagrams illustrated below and the cable diagrams recommended
by Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. may differ; in any case, using these cables for your
PLC operations will not cause any problems.
Ground your PLC's FG terminal according to your country's appli-
cable standard. For details, refer to the corresponding PLC manual.
Connect the FG line of the Shield cable to either the GP or PLC,
depending on your environment. When using a connector hood
and grounding the FG line, be sure to use an electrical conduc-
tor.
For the RS-232C connection, use a cable length less than 15m.
If a communications cable is used, it must be connected to the
SG (signal ground).

* 3 Define and use 32 bit length data.
* 4 This device cannot write. Use it only for reading.

Important
In the LS area, 32-bit devices are not supported. Therefore, when
System Area addresses are allocated to BD, DL, or W33 devices,
only System Area (LS0 to LS19) addresses can be used. Other LS
areas, such as the user area, etc. should not be used.
When using the GP-570VM or GP-870VM, do not allocate the Sys-
tem Area for BD, DI, or W33 word addresses.
Certain PLC models and versions may not be able to perform bit
reading or writing.
F30.......... not possible with versions 0.9 or lower
F50.......... not possible with versions 1.4 or lower
F50H ....... not possible with versions 0.7 or lower
F80.......... not possible with any version
F81.......... not possible with any version
F120........ not possible with any version
F200........ not possible with any version
Check the information plate on the side of the PLC to find the
PLCs version information.
When processing 16-bit single word data:
Internally, the GP basically processes 1 word as 16 bit length data. As a result,
the reading and writing of 32 bit length data devices are processed as follows:
Reading From 32 bit data, reads data only from the bottom
16 bits.
Writing From 32 bit data, writes data only to the bottom
16 bits, as 0 is written to the top 16 bits.
E.g. When data is 12345678 hex.
When processing 2 word 32-bit data:
Two word addresses at bit length 16 are necessary to handle 32 bit long data,
but when using a 32 bit device, only one word address needs to be specified.

When the Timer and Counter setup values are written from the GP, the ladder
is changed so that the setup value uses a relative reference. For this reason,
be careful when the setup value for the Timer and Counter uses an indirect
ladder. Normally, access is recommended for indirectly referenced devices.
