Notes for bus connection
Make sure to power on the PLC CPU and GOT as instructed below.
When multiple GOTs are connected, they may be powered on in any sequence.
<For the Q/QnA/ACPU/A series motion controller (Except the Q4ARCPU)>
(a) Switch the power on of the PLC CPU and GOT simultaneously.
(b) Switch the power on of the PLC CPU first, then GOT.
When multiple GOTs are connected, the PLC CPU starts to run when all the GOTs
powers are switched on.
<For the Q4ARCPU>
Power on the GOT first. Then, switch the power on of the Q4ARCPU redundancy
system after 1 or 2 seconds.
When multiple GOTs are connected, switch the power on of all GOTs first. Then,
power on the Q4ARCPU redundancy system after 1 or 2 seconds.
For bus connection, the PLC power unit supplies the amount of current equivalent to
that consumed by the connected GOTs.
When calculating the current consumption, make sure to include the current to be
consumed by the GOTs. Note that the current consumption must not exceed the
amount of the current supplied by the PLC power supply unit. The following shows
the current consumed by one GOT.
•When connected to the QCPU (Q mode): 255mA per GOT
•When connected to other than QCPU (Q mode): 220mA per GOT
Only Q CPU (Q mode) supports bus connection, but Q CPU (A mode) does not.
GOT is recognized as an intelligent communication module by QCPU (Q mode),
requiring 16 I/O points. GOT cannot be connected anywhere between the base unit
and extension base unit.
GOT should be connected to the last of the extension base units and be included
within the maximum allowable number of extension base units.
In addition, GOT needs to be assigned to I/O slots of the last extension base unit,
but not to the base unit.
It occupies one full extension base (16 points X 10 slots), thus cannot share the
same extension base unit with others. However, it can be shared with other GOTs.
Although GOT is usually connected to the last of extension base unit, it is assigned
as the second from the last when extension base QA1S6 B is used, with QA1S6 B
being the last extension base unit. (See the diagram below.)
If 10 slots cannot be left open for GOT, the number of slots can be reduced by
using GX Developer.
Up to 5 GOTs can be connected.
GOT is recognized as an intelligent communication module by QnA/ACPU/A series
motion controller, requiring 32 I/O points. GOT cannot be connected anywhere
between the base unit and extension base unit.
GOT should be connected to the last of the extension bases and be included within
the maximum allowable number of extension base units. In addition, GOT needs to
be assigned to one slot of the extension base, but not to the base unit. The extension
base unit cannot share with I/O module, special function module, or the kind.
<For Q4A(R)CPU, Q3ACPU, A3 CPU, A4UCPU>
When maximum number of the extension base units (7 base units) is connected,
vacant slots are necessary.
<For A0J2HCPU>
GOT is assigned as follows:
Number of extension base units: 1, I/O slots: 0 to 3
<Others>
GOT can be connected within the range of I/O points even if maximum extension
base units (2 or 3) are installed and there is not vacant slot.
i.e. ACPU (small type) Number of extension base units: 2, I/O slots: 0
*4: The special function unit with the following model is shown.
AJ71QC24(R2/R4)
*5: The special function unit with the following models are shown.
AD51(S3), AD51H(S3), AD51FD(S3), AD57G(S3), AJ71C21(S1), AJ71C22(S1), AJ71C23, AJ71C24(S3/S6/S8), AJ71E71(-S3),

*1: When using extension base unit(s), make sure that the total length of the main cable and
extension cables (between base units) is within 3m.
*2: (Example) A cable of 0.7m for A1SC B is A1SC07B.
*3: No communication interface is required.
*4: Use the value of the A8GT-C EXSS to calculate the cable length of the A8GT-C EXSS-1.
*5: Use the A168B extension base unit.
*6: Only the A173UHCPU(-S1) is applicable.
*7: When using extension base unit(s), make sure that the extension cable length (between
base units) is within 3m, and the total length of all cables is within 33m.
