Introduction

Before You Begin

WARNING
UNGUARDED MACHINERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
 Do not use this controller and related software on equipment that does not have point-of-
operation protection.
 Do not reach into machinery during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

The LT controller and related software is used to control various industrial processes. The type or
model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on factors such
as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual
conditions, government regulations, and so on, in some applications, more than one processor
may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed.
Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during the setup, operation,
and maintenance of the machine; therefore, only the user can determine the automation
equipment and the related safeties and interlocks that can be properly used. When selecting
automation and control equipment and related software for a particular application, the user should
refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations.
In some applications, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be
provided. This is necessary if the operator's hands and other parts of the body are free to enter
pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur. The LT controller and related
software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason, this equipment
cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of-operation protection. Ensure that appropriate
safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point of operation protection have been
installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties
related to point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment
and software programming.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Use appropriate safety interlocks where personnel and/or equipment hazards exist.
 Install and operate this equipment in an enclosure appropriately rated for its intended
environment.
 Use the sensor and actuator power supplies only for supplying power to the sensors or
actuators connected to the module.
 Power line and output circuits must be wired and fused in compliance with local and national
regulatory requirements for the rated current and voltage of the particular equipment.
 Do not use this equipment in safety-critical machine functions.
 Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this equipment.
 Do not connect any wiring to unused connections, or to connections designated as Not
Connected (N.C.).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

 Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
 Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means
used for shipment from all component devices.
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment
documentation for future references.
Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except those grounds
installed according to local and national regulations. If high-potential voltage testing is necessary,
follow recommendations in equipment documentation to help prevent accidental equipment
damage or injury.
Before energizing equipment:
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
 Close the equipment enclosure door.
 Remove ground from incoming power lines.
 Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer.

Operation and Adjustments

There are hazards that can be encountered if this equipment is improperly operated or adjusted,
regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection
and ratings of components. It may be possible to mis-adjust this equipment and thereby produce
unintended consequences. Only those operational adjustments required by the operator should be
accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized
changes in operating characteristics or machine behavior. Restrict access to such adjustments
only to qualified personnel familiar with the machinery in use, and familiar with the instructions of
equipment manufacturers for all of the electrical equipment employed. Use the instructions from
the manufacturers as a guide for functional, electrical, or other like adjustments.

Environmental Characteristics

Enclosure Requirements
LT system components are designed as Zone B, Class A industrial equipment according to
IEC/CISPR Publication 11. If they are used in environments other than those described in the
standard, or in environments that do not meet the specifications in this manual, the ability to meet
electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the presence of conducted and/or radiated
interference may be reduced.
All LT system components meet European Community (CE) requirements for open equipment as
defined by EN61131-2. You must install them in an enclosure designed for the specific
environmental conditions and to minimize the possibility of unintended contact with hazardous
voltages. Use a metal enclosure to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your LT system. Use
enclosures with a keyed locking mechanism to minimize accidents

Wiring Rules and Recommendations

Introduction
There are several rules that must be followed when wiring the LT system.

Wiring Guidelines

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
 Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any
covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except
under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
 Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when
indicated.
 Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a
proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
 Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The following rules must be applied when wiring a LT system:

 I/O and communication wiring must be kept separate from the power wiring. Route these 2 types
of wiring in separate cable ducting.
 Verify that the operating conditions and environment are within specification.
 Use proper wire sizes to meet voltage and current requirements.
 Use copper conductors.
 Use twisted-pair, shielded cables for analog, and/or fast I/O.
 Use twisted-pair, shielded cables for networks, and fieldbus.
 For the power connector, refer to DC power supply wiring diagram (see page 77).
 When terminals A2 and B2 (signal name: Q1, Q0) are wired to external I/O, use the same power
source for external I/O and the LT. Refer to Power Supply Connections.
 If you use a temperature sensor with thermocouple inputs, make sure you use the
compensation cable.
 Prevent temperature changes to the thermocouple connection terminal. Correct temperature
measurement may not be possible if the thermocouple cold junction (LT's thermocouple
compensation wiring to the connection terminal) experiences temperature changes.

WARNING
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN CAUSE UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Use cables with insulated shielded jackets for analog I/O, fast I/O and communication signals.
 Ground shielded cables for analog I/O, fast I/O and communication signals at a single point 1.
 Always comply with local wiring requirements regarding grounding of cable shields.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

1Multipoint
grounding is permissible if connections are made to an equipotential ground plane
dimensioned to help avoid shielded cable damage in the event of power system short circuit
currents.
For more details, refer to Grounding Shielded Cables (see page 36).

 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

The wire sizes to use with the removable terminal blocks is 0.20 to 0.81 mm2 (AWG 24 to 18).

DANGER
FIRE HAZARD
Use only the recommended wire sizes for I/O channels and power supplies.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Terminal Block
Not plugging the terminal block into rear module correctly can cause an electric shock or
unintended operation of the application and/or can damage the rear module.

DANGER
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
Be sure to connect the terminal blocks to their designated location.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: When installing the terminal blocks to the rear module, please keep the display module
unmounted.
NOTE: To help prevent a terminal block from being inserted incorrectly, clearly and uniquely code
and label each terminal block and rear module.
Avoid temperature changes on the thermocouple's connection terminal. Temperature
measurements may not be accurate due to temperature changes in the cold junction (LT
connection terminal for the thermocouple compensation cable).
The figure shows the labels on each terminal block:

NOTE: Appearance of the connectors are the same but are different. Check the label and pin
position of each connector before connecting.

Protecting Outputs from Inductive Load Damage

Depending on the load, a protection circuit may be needed for the outputs on the controllers and
certain modules. Inductive loads using DC voltages may create voltage reflections resulting in
overshoot that will damage or shorten the life of output devices.

31
LT System General Implementation Rules

CAUTION
OUTPUT CIRCUIT DAMAGE DUE TO INDUCTIVE LOADS
Use an appropriate external protective circuit or device to reduce the risk of inductive direct
current load damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Protective circuit A: this protection circuit can be used for DC load power circuits and source
outputs (positive logic).

Protective circuit A: this protection circuit can be used for DC load power circuits and sink outputs
(negative logic).

 C represents a value from 0.1 to 1 μF.

 R represents a resistor of approximately the same resistance value as the load.
Protective circuit B: this protection circuit can be used for DC load power circuits and source
outputs (positive logic).

Protective circuit B: this protection circuit can be used for DC load power circuits and sink outputs

Wiring to the DIO Terminal Block

Introduction
Wiring Rules and Recommendations.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Be sure to remove the terminal blocks from the equipment prior to wiring.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Screwdriver Required to Wire Terminal Blocks

Recommended type: 1891348-1 (Tyco Electronics AMP)
If another manufacturer is used, be sure the part has the following dimensions:
 point depth: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
 point height: 2.4 mm (0.09 in.)

Point shape must be DIN5264A and meet standard DN EN60900.

Also, the screwdriver tip must be flat, as indicated, to access the narrow hole of the terminal block:

The terminal blocks are a spring clamp type.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to connect the wires to the terminal blocks:

Step Action
1 Insert the screwdriver into the square-shaped hole.
This will open the wire’s round-shaped hole.
2 Hold the screwdriver and insert the wire into the wire's round-shaped hole.
3 Take out the screwdriver from the square-shaped hole.
The round-shaped hole will then close, and the wire will be held securely in place.

NOTE: To remove the wire, reinsert the screwdriver into the square-shaped hole and when the
wire's spring clamp releases, pull out the wire.

34
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

(1)
Wire should be 0.20...0.81 mm2 (AWG 24...18), with the end twisted. Applicable wire style are
UL1015 and UL1007.
(2)Strip 7.0 mm (0.28 in) of jacket from the wire. Strip only the amount of jacket required. If too
much jacket is removed, the ends may short against each other or against the terminals, which can
create an electric short. If not enough jacket is removed, the wire may not make sufficient contact
with the terminal.
Insert each wire completely into its opening. Improper insertion can lead to a loss of unit power or
short circuit, either against the wire filaments or against the terminals, or to over heating of the wire
and terminal.
(3) Do not rotate the point of the screwdriver inside the square-shaped opening. It may damage the

equipment.

WARNING
IMPROPER WIRING PRACTICES CAN MAKE EQUIPMENT INOPERABLE
 Use only the specified wire sizes for I/O channels and power supplies.
 Prepare wires and make connections as specified in this documentation.
 Do not connect more than one wire per terminal block connector.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

35
LT System General Implementation Rules

Grounding the System

Overview
To minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference, cables carrying the fast I/O, analog I/O,
and Serial communication signals must be shielded.

WARNING
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN CAUSE UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Use cables with insulated shielded jackets for analog I/O, fast I/O and communication signals.
 Ground shielded cables for analog I/O, fast I/O and communication signals at a single point 1.
 Always comply with local wiring requirements regarding grounding of cable shields.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

1To avoid damage to the shielded cable when there is a short circuit in the power line, set up a
multi-point frame ground (FG) each with the same electric potential.
The use of shielded cables requires compliance with the following wiring rules:
 When there is no protective earth ground, you can use metal conduit or cable duct shield as a
part of the protective earth ground. The functional ground (FE) shield must attenuate
electromagnetic interference and must be shielded the length of the cable. If the purpose is for
both functional and protective grounding, as is often the case for communication cables, the
cable must have continuous shielding.
 Wherever possible, keep cables carrying one type of signal separate from the cables carrying
other types of signals or power.

Protective Earth Ground on the Backplane

For protective grounding, connect braided copper cable (that can withstand the maximum
voltage/current allowed by the system) to the conductive backplane.

Functional Ground on the DIN Rail

The DIN rail for your LT is common with the functional ground plane and must be mounted on a
conductive backplane.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
When connecting DIN rails, connect the DIN rails to functional ground (FE).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Shielded Cables Connections

Cables carrying the fast I/O, analog I/O, and Serial communication signals must be shielded. The
shielding must be securely connected to ground. The fast I/O and analog I/O shields may be
connected either to the functional ground (FE) or to the protective earth ground (PE) of your LT.

36
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

WARNING
ACCIDENTAL DISCONNECTION FROM PROTECTIVE GROUND (PE)
 Do not use the grounding bar to provide a protective earth ground (PE).
 Use the grounding bar only to provide a functional ground (FE).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Make sure that CANopen and Modbus cables are securely connected to the protective earth
ground (PE).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: The functional ground of the Ethernet connection is internal.

Protective Earth Ground (PE) Cable Shielding

The following shows the steps when using shield cables for grounding the LT power supply,
Standard I/O, High-speed I/O, Analog I/O, Temperature Input, Communication cable so on.

Step Description
1 Strip the shielding for a length of
15 mm (0.59 in.)

37
LT System General Implementation Rules

Step Description
2 Use the metal grounding clamp(2)
to attach the cable to the
backplane plate (1) as close as
possible to the LT.

NOTE: The shielding must be clamped securely to the conductive backplane to ensure a good
contact.

Exclusive Grounding
Connect the frame ground (FG) terminal on the power plug to an exclusive ground. When
supplying power to the LT unit, be sure to separate the input, output and power lines, as shown:

Common Grounding
If exclusive grounding is not possible, use a common grounding point. Use grounding resistance
of 10 Ω or less, wire thickness of 2.6 mm or more, or your country's applicable standard for the
grounding point.
Precautions:
 Do not use common grounding, since it can lead to accidents and machine breakdown.
 If the equipment does not function properly when grounded, disconnect the ground wire from
the FG terminal.

38
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

Grounding Procedure

Step Action
1 Check that the grounding resistance is less than 100 Ω.
(Grounding resistance of 100 Ω or less, wire thickness of 1.6 mm or more, or
your country's applicable standard.)
2 Create the connection point as close to the unit as possible, and make the wire
as short as possible. When using a long grounding wire, replace the thin wire
with a thicker wire, and place it in a duct.

NOTE: FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the LT. When connecting an external
device to the LT using the SG terminal, be sure to check that no short-circuit loop is created when
you setup the system.

Input Management

Overview
LT is equipped with Standard Inputs and Fast Inputs. You can manage the input values using the
software filter function that eliminates the input signal noise.
This section explains the filter concept using Fast Input as an example. High-speed Counter Input
and Pulse Catch Input can be managed as Special Input and Output.

Filter Principle of Special I/O

The filter is designed to reduce the bouncing effect at the inputs. Setting a filter value allows the
controller to ignore sudden changes of input levels caused by noise.
The following timing diagram illustrates the filter effects:

44
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

Output Management

Introduction
The LT Unit includes Standard outputs and fast outputs.
The following output functions are configurable on fast outputs:
 PWM output
 Pulse output
 High-speed Counter (Synchronize Output)

Fast Output Management Availability

The information refers to all LT with fast outputs:

Output Terminal Function

Q0 Pulse Output/CH 0, PWM Output/CH 0,
High-speed Counter (Synchronize Output)/CH 0
Q1 Pulse Output/CH 1, PWM Output/CH 1
High-speed Counter (Synchronize Output)/CH 1

Short-circuit or Over-Current on Outputs

There are two groups for the output's short circuit and over-current.
Group 1 (Fast Output) has a short-circuit protection circuit between the output and V-. Group 2
(Standard Output) does not have this circuit.
LT-4201TM (Modular Type DIO) and LT-4301TM (Modular Type DIO):
 Group 1: 2 points Fast Outputs (Q0 to Q1)
 Group 2: 10 points Standard Outputs (Q2 to Q11)

LT-4201TM (Modular Type Analog) and LT-4301TM (Modular Type Analog):

 Group 1: 2 points Fast Outputs (Q0 to Q1)
 Group 2: 6 points Standard Outputs (Q2 to Q7)

The table describes the errors:

If... then...
you have a short-circuit at 0 V on Fast Output Fast Output is stopped and error message is generated.
For more details, refer to the GP-Pro EX Reference
you have a short-circuit at 24 V on Fast Output
Manual.
the current crossing the Fast Output is too high

For more information on protecting outputs, refer to your controller wiring diagram and to the
general wiring rules (see page 30).
The Standard outputs of this equipment do not have built-in reverse polarity protection. Incorrectly
connecting polarity can permanently damage the output circuits or otherwise result in unintended
operation of the equipment.

NOTICE

Installation Procedures

Installing the LT Unit

In order to correctly run an application on the LT, both the display module and the rear module must
be connected.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
 Do not connect or disconnect while circuit is live.
 Potential electrostatic charging hazard: wipe the front panel of the terminal with a damp cloth
before turning ON.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

If you power up the rear module without connecting the display module, the logic controller does
not start and all outputs remain in the initial state. The power must be off before connecting the
modules.
There are 2 ways to install the LT.
Installing the LT on the panel:

63
LT Installation

Installing the rear module on a DIN rail with a display module/rear module separation cable:

LT Setup Procedure
Mount the unit in an enclosure that provides a clean, dry, robust, and controlled environment (IP65
enclosure or UL508 4x, if indoors).
Before installing the LT verify that:
 The installation panel or cabinet surface is flat (planarity tolerance: 0.5 mm (0.019 in.)), in good
condition and has no jagged edges. Metal reinforcing strips may be attached to the inside of the
panel, near the panel cut-out, to increase the rigidity.
 The panel is designed to avoid any induced vibration resonance on the rear module exceeding
a punctual factor of 10 and avoids any induced permanent vibration resonance.
To reduce the resonance use the panel adaptor accessory.
 The ambient operating temperature and the ambient humidity are within their specified ranges.
(When installing the panel in a cabinet or enclosure, the ambient operation temperature is the
internal temperature of the cabinet or enclosure).
 The heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the unit to exceed its specified operating
temperature.
 When installing the display module in a vertical position (portrait view), the logo on the display
face must be on the right side to keep the power connector at the top:

NOTE: For use in Pollution Degree 2 environments.

64
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

 The panel face is not inclined more than 30° when installing the unit in a slanted panel:

 The power plug is positioned vertically when the unit is vertically installed.
 The unit is at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) away from adjacent structures and other equipment for
easier maintenance, operation, and improved ventilation:

Pressure Differences
When applying and installing this product, it is important that steps are taken to eliminate any
pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the enclosure in which this product is
mounted. Higher pressure inside the enclosure can cause delamination of the front membrane of
the display. Even a small pressure difference inside the enclosure will act on the large area of the
membrane and can result in sufficient force to delaminate the membrane and thus cause failure of
the touch capability. Pressure differences can often occur in applications where there are multiple
fans and ventilators moving air at different rates in different rooms. Please follow these techniques
to ensure that this product's function is not impacted by this mis-application:
1. Seal all conduit connections inside of the enclosure, especially those that lead to other rooms that may
be at a different pressure.

65
LT Installation

2. Where applicable, install a small weep hole at the bottom of the enclosure to allow equalization of the
internal and external pressure.

Step Action
1 Place the unit on a clean and level surface with the display panel facing
downward.
2 The support thickness depends on the material:
 Steel sheet: between 1.5 and 6 mm (0.059 in. and 0.236 in.)
 Plastic: between 3 and 6 mm (0.118 in. and 0.236 in.)

If the thickness is between 1 and 1.5 mm (0.039 in. and 0.059 in.) for a steel
sheet support or between 1 mm and 3 mm (0.039 in. and 0.118 in.) for plastic,
use the spacer adaptor supplied in accessory kit PFXZGMAK1 (sold separately).
3 Create the correct sized holes required to install the unit, using the Panel Cut-
Out Dimension and Installation.
4 Insert the display module (with the tee, if required) into the panel hole:

Use a torque between 1.2 and 2 N•m (10.62 lb-in and 17.70 lb-in) to screw the
nut with the tightening wrench.

DC Power Supply Wiring Diagram

1 Use an external, slow-blow, 2 A type T fuse.

DANGER
FIRE HAZARD
Use only the recommended wire sizes for I/O channels and power supplies.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not exceed any of the rated values specified.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Power Interruption
The Voltage Drop is variable depending upon the load to the power supply of the controller, but
generally a minimum of 10 ms is maintained as specified by IEC standards.
LT enters power-down status when a momentary power interruption of the rated voltage continues
for 10 ms or longer. When the LT enters power-down status, it stops all calculations, even if there
are instructions that are not completed.
For example, when the LT enters power-down status while 100 words of data are being transferred
by a FMOV instruction, the transfer stops midway. Consequently, design your program with
consideration to power-down occurrences.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Individually monitor each source of power used in the LT system including input power
supplies, output power supplies, and the power supply to the controller to allow appropriate
system shutdown during power system interruptions.
 The inputs monitoring each of the power supply sources must be unfiltered inputs.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

77
LT Installation

Connecting the Power Cord

Introduction
Follow these instructions when supplying power to the unit:
 When the frame ground (FG) terminal is connected, verify the wire is grounded. Not grounding
the unit can result in excessive Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Grounding is required to
meet EMC level immunity.
 The shield ground (SG) and FG terminals are connected internally in the unit.
 Remove power before wiring to the power terminals of the unit.
 The unit uses 24 Vdc power. Using any other level of power can damage both the power supply
and the unit.
 Since the unit is not equipped with a power switch, connect a power switch to the unit’s power
supply.
 Use copper wire rated for 75 °C (167°F) or higher.

Power Cord Preparation

Before using your power cord:
 Verify that the ground wire is the same gauge or heavier than the power wires.
 Do not use aluminum wires for the power cord for power supply.
 If the conductor end (individual) wires are not twisted correctly, the end wires may either short
loop to each other or against an electrode. To avoid this, use D25CE/AZ5CE cable ends.
2
 Use wires that are 0.75 to 2.5 mm (18 to 12 AWG) for the power cord, and twist the wire ends
before attaching the terminals.
 The conductor type is solid or stranded wire.
 To reduce electromagnetic noise, make the power cord as short as possible.

 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

Connecting the Power Cord

The table explains how to connect the power plug:

Step Action
1 Remove the power cord from the power supply.
2 Remove the DC power supply connector from the unit.
3 Remove 7 mm (0.28 in) of the vinyl cover of each of the power cord wires.

4 If using stranded wire, twist the ends. Tinning the ends with solder reduces the
risk of fraying and enhances electrical transfer.
5 Connect the wires to the DC power supply connector by using a flat-blade
screwdriver (Size 0.6 x 3.5).
6 Torque the mounting screws: 0.5 to 0.6 N•m (4.4 to 5.2 lb-in).

7 Replace the DC power supply connector to the power connector on the side of
the unit.

NOTE:
 Do not solder the wire directly to the power receptacle pin.
 The power supply cord must meet the specification shown above. Twist the power cords
together, up to the power plug, for EMC compliance.

79
LT Installation

Connecting the Power Supply

Precautions

 Use the power plug to connect the power cord to the power connector on the side of the rear
module.
 Use DC input with a Class 2 power supply.
 Do not bundle the power supply cord with, or keep close to, main circuit lines (high voltage, high
current), or I/O signal lines.
 Connect a lightning surge absorber to handle power surges.
Excessive stress on the power connection or attempting to install a rear module with the power
cables connected may disconnect, or cause damage, to the power connections. This can cause
short circuits, fire, or unintended equipment operation.

WARNING
SHORT CIRCUITS, FIRE, OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Avoid excessive force on the power cable to prevent accidental disconnections:
 Securely attach power cables to the panel or cabinet.
 Secure the power plug of the rear module.
 Install and fasten the rear module on the installation panel or cabinet prior to connecting power
supply and communication lines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Power Supply Connections

For maintenance purpose, use the following connection diagram to set up your power supply
connections. However, when terminals A2 and B2 (signal name: Q1, Q0) are wired to external I/O,
use the same power source for external I/O and the LT.

When wiring terminals A2 and B2 (signal name: Q1, Q0) to external I/O.

NOTE:
 When connector A2 and B2 (Signal Name: Q1, Q0) are wired to external I/O, turn on the LT
before turning on the external device. Otherwise the wrong signal for Pulse Output, PWM
Output and High-speed Counter (Synchronize Output) will be output. When transferring a
program that turns off or resets the LT, first turn off the external device. When using a system
with multiple power supplies, please note there is also a power supply in the external device.

80
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

 Ground the surge absorber separately from the rear module.

 Select a surge absorber that has a maximum circuit voltage greater than the peak voltage of the
power supply.

Critical Systems, Detected Alarms and Handling Requirements

Critical detected alarm indicators and system functions require independent and redundant
protection hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
If the unit for any reason becomes inoperative (for example, an inoperative backlight) it may be
difficult or impossible to identify operation. Operations that may present a hazard if not immediately
executed, such as emergency stop, must be provided independently of the unit. The design of the
control system must take into account an inoperative unit (backlight) and the operator may be
unable to control the machine or respond to detected errors with the unit.
After turning OFF the LT, be sure to wait at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again. The LT
may not operate correctly if it is restarted too quickly.

111
 WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 Consider the potential failure modes of control paths in the machine control system design,
such as:
 The possibility of backlight failure,
 Unanticipated link transmission delays or failures,
 The operator being unable to control the machine,
 The operator making errors in the control of the machine.

 Design outside the LT operations such as emergency stop, safety circuits, interlocks that
operate with opposing actions such as clockwise/counterclockwise rotation, and circuits that
prevent machine damage with positioning limits on top, bottom, and movement.
 For important operations handled by switches, design your system to use a separate hardware
device. This is to reduce the occurrence of incorrect outputs or malfunctions.
 Observe all accident prevention regulations and local safety guidelines.1
 Test individually and thoroughly each implementation of the equipment for correct operation
before service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

1For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), "Safety Guidelines for the
Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control" and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest
edition), "Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of
Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems" or their equivalent governing your particular location.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Do not use the LT as a control unit for system critical operations such as start/stop or output
control of motors.
 Do not use the LT as the only warning device for critical alarms such as device overheat or
device over-current.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Handling the LCD

The following characteristics are specific to the LCD and are considered normal behavior:
 LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or may appear different
when seen from outside the specified viewing angle. Extended shadows, or cross-talk, may also
appear on the sides of screen images.
 LCD screen pixels may contain black and white-colored spots and color display may seem to
have changed over time.
 When the same image is displayed on the screen for a long period, an after-image may appear
when the image is changed. If this happens, turn off the unit, wait 10 seconds, and then restart it.
NOTE: Do not display the same image for a long time. Change the screen image periodically.

112
 LT-4201TM/4301TM Hardware Manual

CAUTION
SERIOUS EYE AND SKIN INJURY
The liquid present in the LCD contains an irritant:
 Avoid direct skin contact with the liquid.
 Wear gloves when you handle a broken or leaking unit.
 Do not use sharp objects or tools in the vicinity of the LCD touch panel.
 Handle the Panel carefully to prevent puncture, bursting, or cracking of the Panel material.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

If the Panel is damaged and any liquid comes in contact with your skin, immediately rinse the area
with running water for at least 15 min.
If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with running water for at least
15 minutes and consult a doctor.

Using Touch Panel Correctly

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

 Operate the touch panel with only one finger.

 Do not activate two or more points of the touch panel simultaneously.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Use only one finger to select an object on the touch panel.

If the touch panel receives pressure at two or more points at the same time, an unintended object
could be selected.
