SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Be sure to read these instructions before using the product)

Before using this product, read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and handle the product correctly with full attention to safety. Note that these precautions apply only to this product. In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "WARNING" and "CAUTION".

Note that failure to observe the CAUTION level instructions may also lead to serious results depending on the circumstances. Be sure to observe the instructions of both levels to ensure personal safety.

Please keep this manual in accessible place and be sure to forward it to the end user.

[Test operation precautions]

[Precautions for Remote Control]

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

When testing the operation (e.g. turning bit devices ON/OFF or changing a current word device value, a current or set timer/counter value, or a current buffer memory value), thoroughly read the relevant manual to fully understand the operating procedures.

When testing, never change the data of the devices that control the operation essential for the system. Faulty output and malfunction may result in an accident.

WARNING

Remote control is available through a network by using GOT functions, including the SoftGOT-GOT link function, the remote personal computer operation function, and the VNC server function.

If these functions are used to perform remote control of control equipment, the field operator may not notice the remote control, possibly leading to an accident. In addition, a communication delay or interruption may occur depending on the network environment, and remote control of control equipment cannot be performed normally in some cases. Before using the above functions to perform remote control, fully grasp the circumstances of the field site and ensure safety.

WARNING

To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the GOT and the system against unauthorized

access, DoS*1 attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks from unreliable networks and devices via network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.

Mitsubishi Electric shall have no responsibility or liability for any problems involving GOT trouble and system trouble by unauthorized access, DoS attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks.

*1 DoS: A denial-of-service (DoS) attack disrupts services by overloading systems or exploiting vulnerabilities, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) state.

WARNING

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

CAUTIONS FOR USING THIS SOFTWARE

(1) Required memory of a personal computer and the free capacity of the hard disk For required memory and the free capacity of the hard disk, refer to the following.

(Fundamentals) 2.1 Operating environment

(2) Error messages displayed while starting and editing "Operation will be terminated because of insufficient memory. Would you like to stop?"

If the above message appears, close other running application software or reboot Windows in order to secure at least 50M bytes of free hard disk space.

(3) GT Designer3 and the GOT display

(a) Precautions for displaying straight line other than full line (dotted line and others) in bold When straight line other than full line is drawn in bold, the line may not be displayed with its actual line width on a personal computer. However, it will be displayed correctly on GOT. This phenomenon does not mean data problem.

(b) Display of end points of straight line/line freeform/polygon As shown below, the end points of straight line, line freeform, or polygon is displayed differently between GT Designer3 and the GOT.

(c) Start position for filling patterns Some filling patterns may be differently displayed. For example, the start position may be different between GT Designer3 and the GOT.

(d) Drawing of different type lines The length of the dots varies in different dotted lines (for example: the chain lines).

(e) Display of object The display position of the scale value displayed in the graph is different between GT Designer3 and the

GOT. Even if the display-start-line of a comment is set, the comment is displayed from the first line on GT

Designer3.

(f) Display magnification When display magnification is changed, the connected lines or figures may be separated or the filled-paint may be out of outline of the figure. However, if they are displayed correctly on the preview screen (Display magnification: 100%), they will appear correctly on the GOT as well.

Example: When filled-paint is out of the outline.

Display magnification: 200% Display magnification: 100%

GT Designer3 On GOT

A - 2

(4) Restrictions when the color setting is changed to the setting of less colors in the system environment (256 colors 2 colors) The color palette for setting color will be changed according to the new settings. The color on the drawing screen will be kept the same as prior to the change.

If the color setting for a red rectangle-figure is changed to [2(mono)], the red color remains. The colors of the image data (BMP file or JPEG file) will be reduced when the project is stored, the screen is

closed and that image data is double-clicked.

(5) When device type is changed Confirm the device type when the set bit device is changed from bit device into word device. The device flag may be represented as "??", depending on the settings.

Example: D0.b0 D0D0.b5 ??

(6) OS setting

Set the font size to [Normal] when setting OS (Windows) screens. If the font size is set to other than [Normal], the GT Designer3 dialog box and others cannot be displayed correctly.
