Option Function Board - Mitsubishi Electric GOT1000 Series Handbook

Number of connectable channels/mountable units/mountable stages
(1) Number of connectable channels
The number of connectable channels differs according to the GOT model. Refer to the following
table.
(2) Number of mountable units/mountable stages
The following describes how to add the interface on a GOT for using the multi-channel function.
(a) Mount a communication unit on the extension interface. In addition, when adding
communication unit on the second stage and third stage, mount a communication unit on
the already mounted unit.
(b) Mount a communication unit on the extension interface, and use the unit and the standard
interface. The numbers of mountable units and mountable stages differ according to the
GOT model. Refer to the following table.
*: Communication units, option units, and GOT functions have restrictions depending on the system
configurations.

Communication driver
The communication driver must be installed for each connection type to be used.
For GT16, the communication driver is installed to the user area.
For GT15, the second or later communication driver is installed to the user area.

Option function board

When using GT16, it is not required.
When using GT15, the option function board is required.
Use an option function board of the GT15-QFNB (

3.2 Precautions for Use
GT155
GT16: Indicates the maximum number of the communication ports (communication units and standard interfaces) that a GOT
can communicate.
In bus connection and network connection, only 1 channel can be set for one GOT.
For the Ethernet connection, up to 4 channels can be set.
When the Ethernet interface built in the GOT is used for connection other than communication with a controller
connection is not included in the count of the number of channels.
When the standard interface is used for connecting
number of channels.
Refer to "Calculation of current consumed by units <GT16/15>".
2
GT15: Indicates the maximum number of the communication ports (communication units and standard interfaces) that a GOT
can communicate.
Only 1 channel can be connected to one GOT for the bus connection and network connection respectively.
When the Ethernet communication unit is used for functions other than communications with controllers, the unit
is not included in the number of channels.
When the standard interface is used for connecting
number of channels.
Refer to "Calculation of current consumed by units <GT16/15>".
Indicates the maximum number of units that can be mounted on the extension interfaces 1 and 2 of a GOT.
Only for the serial communication unit , multiple units can be mounted.
The option units are included in the number of units.
3
The RS-422 conversion unit is not included in the number of units.
Calculate the current consumed by a unit to be mounted.
Refer to "Calculation of current consumed by units <GT16/15>".
Indicates the maximum number of stages for the extension interfaces 1 and 2 of a GOT.
Units *4*5 that occupies 2 slots must be mounted at the first stage.
However, when using units shown in ,mount the units at the first stage and mount the other units at the
3 (1 slot)
second stage or later.
Units shown in cannot be mounted on any units. Mount the units at the first stage.
*6
Refer to "External Dimensions" in section 1.5 and "Mounting units on the GOT side interface <GT16/15>".
