Position of the GOT

Always connect the GOT to the last base unit.
Connecting a GOT between base units is not allowed.
5.4.7 When the GOT is bus-
connected to a PLC CPU
without the communication
driver written
When the GOT is bus-connected to a PLC CPU without the
standard monitor OS and the communication driver for the
bus connection being written onto the GOT, the PLC CPU
is reset. (GX Developer cannot communicate with the PLC
CPU)
In this case, disconnecting the bus connection cable from
the GOT will cancel the reset status of the PLC CPU.
