Performance data given in this manual is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of OMRON's test conditions, and the users must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the OMRON Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
PRECAUTIONS This section provides general precautions for installing and using the GRT1-series Slice I/O Units and related devices. The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable application of the Slice I/O Units. You must read this section and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate a Slice I/O Terminal.
It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the speci- fied purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying a PLC system to the above mentioned applica- tions.
Operating Environment Precautions • The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter- measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
Application Precautions !Caution The operating environment of the PLC System can have a large effect on the longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforeseeable problems with the PLC System. Be sure that the operating environment is within the specified condi- tions at installation and remains within the specified conditions during the life of the system.
EMC Directive OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards, so that they can more easily be built in to other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards.
Page 19
EC Directives the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards. Low Voltage Directive Devices that operate at voltages from 50 to 1,000 VAC or 75 to 150 VDC must satisfy the appropriate safety requirements.
SECTION 1 Available Units and Features This section describes the features of GRT1-series Slice I/O Units and lists the available Units. Slice I/O Terminal Introduction ........Features of the GRT1-series Slice I/O Units.
Slice I/O Terminal Introduction Section 1-1 Slice I/O Terminal Introduction A Slice I/O Terminal is a building-block style remote I/O terminal made up of a Communications Unit and a number of Slice I/O Units, which each provide a small number of I/O points. The Slice I/O Units communicate with the host by remote I/O communications (cyclic communications) through the Communica- tions Unit.

Section 4-2 Status Area Status Area 4-2-1 Status Areas of General-purpose Slice I/O Units The General-purpose Slice I/O Units have two status areas. Each Unit’s sta- tus flags are turned ON and OFF based on the threshold/monitor values set for the function in that Unit. A flag in the Communications Unit will be turned ON only when the corresponding flag has been turned ON in one of those sta- tus areas.
Page 59
Section 4-2 Status Area Alarm Status Area The Slice I/O Unit’s alarm status area contains the following 16 bits. These flags indicate non-fatal errors in the Unit. When any of these flags goes ON, bit 3 of the Communications Unit’s status flags is turned ON and that informa- tion is transmitted to the Master.
I/O Wiring Section 4-3 I/O Wiring 4-3-1 Wiring to the Screwless Clamping Terminal Block All of the GRT1-series Slice I/O Units can be wired with screwless clamp ter- minal blocks, which do not require screws to be tightened. When connecting a sensor or an external device, always crimp pin terminals to the cable of the sensor or device.
Functions of General-purpose Slice I/O Units Section 4-4 Functions of General-purpose Slice I/O Units 4-4-1 I/O Power Supply Monitor Function Overview This function is used to detect whether the I/O power is ON. When the I/O power supply is turned OFF, the Basic Unit I/O Power Supply Status Flag or Expansion Unit I/O Power Supply Status Flag in the Status Area is turned ON.
Section 4-4 Functions of General-purpose Slice I/O Units 4-4-2 Input Filter (Input Units Only) Function Overview Input values can be read several times during a set interval so that the input value is enabled only when the value of all samples are the same. The input filter is applied to all of the inputs of the Unit.

The power ON delay allows the sensor power supply to stabilize and prevents false input signals caused by inrush current at startup.
Section 4-4 Functions of General-purpose Slice I/O Units 4-4-4 Contact Operation Counter Function Overview The Contact Operation Counter is used to count the number of times each input or output contact has changed from OFF to ON (maximum resolution 50 Hz) and record the total value calculated in the Unit.
