WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes
of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to
achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control
functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.
 Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control
functions.
 System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be
given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the
link.*
 Each implementation of a Magelis XBTGT, HMISTO, HMISTU, HMIGTO,
HMIGTU, XBTGH, XBTGK, XBTGC, iPC, and XBTGTW must be individually
and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
* For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), “Safety
Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control.“

Target Machine Serial Interface
Use the following serial interface diagrams in combination with the cable diagrams
in Section 3 to wire connections between the target machine and external
equipment.
Magelis iPC Series (Smart, Compact, and Flex) and XBTGTW Series
The iPC Series (Smart, Compact, and Flex) and the XBTGTW Series target
machines come with one to four COM ports. All serial ports use 9-pin D-Sub male
connectors and support RS-232C serial communication. The following table
illustrates the pin layout for these target machines.

Magelis XBTGK, XBTGC2000, XBTGH2000, and XBTGT2000 Series or higher

All XBTGK and XBTGT2000 Series and higher target machines have two COM
ports: COM1 and COM2. The XBTGC2000 Series has one COM port: COM1.
XBTGH2000 Series (Junction Box) has one COM port: COM1.
COM1 is a 9-pin D-Sub male connector and COM2 is an RJ45 socket. The following
tables illustrate the pin layout for these target machines.

 To simplify the wiring, you can use the COM Port Conversion Adapter
(Schneider Electric: XBTZGCOM) and Terminal Block Conversion Adapter
(Schneider Electric: XBTZG949). These accessories allow access to the RS-
422 signals using screw terminals. For information on the signals of the screw
terminals, see the user manual for the XBTZG949.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
When making your own connections, use shielded RJ45 connectors. The shielded
connector provides isolation against electromagnetic interference and provides a
more secure physical connection in the RJ45 socket. Use of an improper RJ45
connection could lead to insecure connections.

Magelis HMIGTO Series

The HMIGTO target machines have two COM ports (COM1 and COM2), with the
exception of the HMIGTO1310. The HMIGTO1310 has one COM port (COM1),
which uses an RJ45 connector for RS-232/422/485 serial communication. For more
information, see Magelis XBTGT1000, XBTGT1005, HMIGTO1310, HMISTO, and
HMISTU Series.
COM1 is a 9-pin D-Sub male connector, and COM2 is an RJ45 socket. The following

This COM port supports RS-232C serial communication.
CAUTION
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION
 All connections to the communication ports must not put excessive stress on the
ports.
 Securely attach communication cables to the panel wall or cabinet.
 Use only D-Sub 9-pin cables with a locking tab in good condition.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK
The serial port is not isolated. The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame ground)
terminals are connected inside the unit.
When using the SG terminal to connect an external device to the panel:
 Verify that a ground loop is not created when you set up the system.
 Connect the #8 SG terminal to remote equipment when the host (PLC) unit is
not isolated. Connect the #8 SG terminal to a known reliable ground connection
to reduce the risk of damaging the circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

Cable Diagrams
The cable diagrams illustrated below and the cable diagrams recommended by
Panasonic may differ, however, Schneider Electric recommends using the following
connection diagrams.
 Ground the PLC’s FG terminal according to your country’s applicable standard.
For details, refer to the PLC manual.
 When making your own communication cable, be sure to connect the SG signal.
Note:
 When signal lines overlap as drawn below, it indicates a twisted pair.

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Ensure that the ground connection for each component of interconnected
equipment is reliably connected to the same ground potential (within 100 ohms)
prior to connecting the equipment. There is a risk of electric shock when
connecting a PLC cable to a target machine, as the two may be at different
electrical potentials, even if both are separately connected to ground.
WARNING
To reduce electromagnetic interference, use shielded twisted-pair cables. Connect
the cable shields, then connect the cable to a single-point ground on the HMI side.

WARNING
*1 LOSS OF CONTROL
Communication links may be compromised when you exceed the manufacturer’s
recommended maximum cable length 3m (10 ft) for multicommunication units
(AFP2465 in FP2 and FP2SH), that communicate at transmission speeds 115200
bps or greater.
Because excess electromagnetic interference is the result of such a setup, the
system may become unpredictable as it experiences periodic interference and
intermittent loss of control.
When using multicommunication units at a fast transmission speed, make sure the
cable length is less than 3m (10ft).

*1 Read-modify-write. When you write to one of these bit addresses, the target
machine reads the entire word address, sets the defined bit, then returns the new
value to the PLC. If the ladder program writes data to this word address during
the bit read/write process, the resulting data may be incorrect.
*2 Read only.
*3 You can define a bit address by defining the bit position using a hexadecimal
value at the end of a word address.
*4 Relay (bit) devices can only be used in Discrete or Integer data type variables.
*5 When using Timer and Counter devices with FP-M CPUs, set up each device
range in the system register.

Consecutive Equipment Addresses
Overview
The following table lists the maximum number of consecutive addresses that can be
read by each PLC. Refer to this table when using block transfers.
Note:
 To speed up data communication, use consecutive equipment addresses on
the same panel screen.
 The following situations increase the number of times that the equipment is
read, and reduces the data communication speed between the target machine
and the PLC:
 when the number of consecutive addresses exceeds the maximum
 when an address is designated for division
 when different device types are used

Retry Count Defines the number of times the driver tries to send or receive data when
an error has been detected.
Parity Bit Sets either a parity bit [Even or Odd] for use in detecting communication
errors, or [None] at all.
Stop Bit Defines the stop bit: 1, 1.5, or 2 bits.
Data Length Defines the length of each unit of data: 7 bit or 8 bit.
Rcv. Timeout Defines the length of time the target machine waits for a response before
it outputs a timeout error or sends another communication.

Unit No. Enter a value (1-99) to identify the PLC unit.
Frame Length Select either long or short to specify frame length.
Enable Monitor Select to use Monitor Registration with the PLC in order to increase
Registration communication efficiency.
Double Word word The default value is Low word first.
order To define the transmit order for 16-bit words:
 least significant = byte n
 most significant = byte n + 1
(Check that the connected equipment uses the same format.)
To define the transmit order for 32-bit words:
 least significant = word n
 most significant = word n + 1
(Check that the connected equipment uses the same format.)
If High word first is selected, the most significant word and the least
significant word are inverted. For example, to be consistent with
Premium PLC format, use the default value Low word first.
ASCII Display The default value is High byte first.
Byte order Inside PLCs, a STRING is usually an array of words for which every
word contains two characters (one character per byte). For example,
the HELLO! string representation is the following:
 If Low byte first option is selected, the string displayed on the target
machine screen is: HELLO!.
 If High byte first option is selected, the string displayed on the
target machine screen is: EHLL!O.
Note:
 Not all FP Series PLCs support Frame Length and Enable Monitor Registration.
For details, refer to the PLC manual.
