WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes
of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to
achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control
functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.
 Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control
functions.
 System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be
given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the
link.*
 Each implementation of a Magelis XBTGT, HMISTO, HMISTU, HMIGTO,
HMIGTU, XBTGH, XBTGK, XBTGC, iPC, and XBTGTW must be individually
and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

* For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), “Safety
Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control.“

Target Machine Serial Interface

Use the following serial interface diagrams in combination with the cable diagrams
in Section 3 to wire connections between the target machine and external
equipment.

Magelis iPC Series (Smart, Compact, and Flex) and XBTGTW Series
The iPC Series (Smart, Compact, and Flex) and the XBTGTW Series target
machines come with one to four COM ports. All serial ports use 9-pin D-Sub male
connectors and support RS-232C serial communication. The following table
illustrates the pin layout for these target machines.

8 CS(CTS) Send Possible
9 CI(RI) Called status display

Magelis XBTGK, XBTGC2000, XBTGH2000, and XBTGT2000 Series or higher

All XBTGK and XBTGT2000 Series and higher target machines have two COM
ports: COM1 and COM2. The XBTGC2000 Series has one COM port: COM1.
XBTGH2000 Series (Junction Box) has one COM port: COM1.
COM1 is a 9-pin D-Sub male connector and COM2 is an RJ45 socket. The following
tables illustrate the pin layout for these target machines.
COM1 (9-pin D-Sub Plug)
This COM port can act as either an RS-232C or RS-422 interface.

 To simplify the wiring, you can use the COM Port Conversion Adapter
(Schneider Electric: XBTZGCOM) and Terminal Block Conversion Adapter
(Schneider Electric: XBTZG949). These accessories allow access to the RS-
422 signals using screw terminals. For information on the signals of the screw
terminals, see the user manual for the XBTZG949.

COM2 (RJ45 Socket)

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
When making your own connections, use shielded RJ45 connectors. The shielded
connector provides isolation against electromagnetic interference and provides a
more secure physical connection in the RJ45 socket. Use of an improper RJ45
connection could lead to insecure connections.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

COM2 supports RS-422/485 signals only.

Magelis HMIGTO Series

The HMIGTO target machines have two COM ports (COM1 and COM2), with the
exception of the HMIGTO1310. The HMIGTO1310 has one COM port (COM1),
which uses an RJ45 connector for RS-232/422/485 serial communication. For more
information, see Magelis XBTGT1000, XBTGT1005, HMIGTO1310, HMISTO, and
HMISTU Series.
COM1 is a 9-pin D-Sub male connector, and COM2 is an RJ45 socket. The following
tables illustrate the pin layout for these target machines.

CAUTION
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION
 All connections to the communication ports must not put excessive stress on the
ports.
 Securely attach communication cables to the panel wall or cabinet.
 Use only D-Sub 9-pin cables with a locking tab in good condition.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

When making your own connections, use shielded RJ45 connectors. The shielded
connector provides isolation against electromagnetic interference and provides a
more secure physical connection in the RJ45 socket. Use of an improper RJ45

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK
The serial port is not isolated. The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame ground)
terminals are connected inside the unit.
When using the SG terminal to connect an external device to the panel:
 Verify that a ground loop is not created when you set up the system.
 Connect the #8 SG terminal to remote equipment when the host (PLC) unit is
not isolated. Connect the #8 SG terminal to a known reliable ground connection
to reduce the risk of damaging the circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

Cable Diagrams

The cable diagrams illustrated below and the cable diagrams recommended by
Omron may differ, however, Schneider Electric recommends using the following
connection diagrams.
When creating your own cables, to identify which pins to connect on the target
machine, see Target Machine Serial Interface.
 Ensure that the equipment is properly grounded as indicated in the user manual
and follows all applicable country standards.
 If a communications cable is used, the SG (signal ground) must be connected.

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

Note:
 Signals A and B are opposite on the target machine and PLC.
 Set the PLC’s RS-232C/RS-422 toggle switch to RS-422.
 Use only the connector (XM2A-0901) and connector hood (XM2S-0911) that
come with the PLC.

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Ensure that the ground connection for each component of interconnected
equipment is reliably connected to the same ground potential (within 100 ohms)
prior to connecting the equipment. There is a risk of electric shock when
connecting a PLC cable to a target machine, as the two may be at different
electrical potentials, even if both are separately connected to ground.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
To reduce electromagnetic interference, use shielded twisted-pair cables. Connect
the cable shields, then connect the cable to a single-point ground on the HMI side.

Supported Device Addresses

Overview

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Incorrect values will result if conflicting writes to the same register are requested
simultaneously by the target and PLC program.
Design your system to avoid conflicting write processes between the target
machine and PLC program.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

The following tables list the device address ranges you can enter from in Vijeo-
Designer. For actual device address ranges supported by the PLC, refer to the
corresponding PLC manual.

*1 You can define a bit address by adding a colon followed by the bit position (0-
15) at the end of the word address.
*2 Read-modify-write. When you write to one of these bit addresses, the target
machine reads the entire word address, sets the defined bit, then returns the new
value to the PLC. If the ladder program writes data to this word address during
the bit read/write process, the resulting data may be incorrect.

Consecutive Equipment Addresses

Overview
The following tables list the maximum number of consecutive addresses and the gap
span (the maximum gap size between PLC device addresses that are used as
consecutive device addresses) that can be read by each PLC. Refer to these tables
when using block transfers.
Note:
 When the device is setup using the methods below, the Data Communication
Speed slows by the number of times the deivce is read:
 When consecutive addresses exceed the maximum data number range
 When device types are different

To speed up the data communication, use consecutive device addresses on a single

target machine.
