For Your Safety
System Design
● Be sure to design your LT control system so that, in the event of a main power
supply failure or an LT accident, the user system’s overall safety integrity will be
maintained. If this is not done, incorrect output signals or an LT malfunction may
cause an accident.
● Design a circuit that will supply power to the LT unit’s I/O before starting up the
LT. If the LT unit’s internal program enters RUN mode prior to the I/O unit’s load
control power turning ON, an incorrect output (signal) or malfunction could cause
an accident.
● Design a user program that ensures the safety of the user’s system, in the event of
an LT display or control error, or either a data transmission error or power failure
between the LT and a connected unit. These types of problems can lead to an
incorrect output (signal) or malfunction, resulting in an accident.
● Do not make switches using the switches on the touch panels which may cause
operator injury and machine damage. An output may remain either ON or OFF and
a major accident can occur. To prevent this, set up circuits such as limiters that will
monitor vital output signals. Design switches for important operations to be
performed by separate devices. An incorrect output or malfunction can occur and
thereby cause an accident.
● Do not create LT touch panel switches to control machine safety operations, such as
an emergency stop switch. Install these switches as separate hardware switches,
otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment damage can occur.
● Be sure to design your system so that a communication fault between the LT and its
host controller will not cause equipment to malfunction. This is to prevent any
possibility of bodily injury or equipment damage.
● Do not use the LT as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious
operator injury, machine damage or can halt system operation. Critical alarm
indicators and their control/activator units must be designed using stand-alone
hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
● Do not use the LT with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk
data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or
medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inherent requirements of
extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
● Be sure to design your system so that a communication fault between the LT and its
host controller will not cause equipment to malfunction. This is to prevent any
possibility of bodily injury or equipment damage.
6
● After the LT unit’s backlight burns out, the touch panel is still active, unlike the LT
unit’s “Standby Mode”. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out
and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur.
Therefore, do not create LT unit touch panel switches that may cause injury and/or
equipment damage. If your LT unit’s backlight suddenly turns OFF, the followings
may occur.
1) If the LT unit’s “Backlight Control” is not set and the screen has gone blank,
your backlight is burned out.
2) If the LT unit’s “Backlight Control” is set to Standby Mode and the screen has
gone blank, and touching the screen or performing another input operation
does not cause the display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.
Handling
● Do not disassemble or modify the LT unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric
shock.
● Do not operate the LT in an environment where flammable gases are present, since
it may cause an explosion.
Wiring
● To prevent an electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug the LT unit’s power
cord from the power supply prior to installing or wiring the LT.
● To prevent an electric shock, be sure to disconnect your LT unit’s power cord from
the power supply before wiring the LT.
● Do not use the voltage not specified in the manual. Doing so may cause a fire or an
electric shock.
● The cables connected to the LT should be secured by cable clamps to prevent weight
or tension of the cables added to the connectors or terminals.
● The LT unit’s wiring should be checked to confirm that both the operating voltage
and wiring terminal locations are correct. If either the voltage or the wiring
terminal location is incorrect, it can cause a fire or accident.
Maintenance
● NEVER touch a live power terminal. Doing so could cause an electrical shock or a
machine malfunction.
● To prevent an electrical shock, unplug the LT unit’s power cord before either
cleaning the LT or attaching/detaching the power terminal attachment screws.
● Do not connect or disconnect Host and LT unit communication cables while the LT
is turned ON.
● Do not replace the LT unit’s battery yourself. The LT uses a lithium battery for
backing up its internal clock data and the battery may explode if it is replaced
incorrectly. When replacement is required, please contact your local LT distributor.
7
Wiring Layout Precautions
● To prevent an LT unit malfunction due to excessive noise, isolate all LT input/
output signal lines from all power wiring or power cables via a separate wiring duct.
Installation
● Be sure all cable connectors are securely attached to the LT unit. A loose connection
may cause incorrect input or output signals.
Wiring
● Be sure to ground the LT unit’s FG wire separately from other equipment FG lines.
Also, be sure to use a grounding resistance of 100Ω or less and a 2mm² [0.0062inch²]
or thicker wire, or your country’s applicable standard. Otherwise, an electric shock
or malfunctions may result.
● Be sure to use only the designated torque to tighten the LT unit’s terminal block
screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire or
incorrect unit operation.
● Be sure that metal particles and wiring debris do not fall inside the LT unit. They
can cause a fire, malfunction or incorrect unit operation.
Maintenance
● Be sure to read the LT unit manual carefully before performing program changes,
entering forced output, or using the RUN, STOP, or PAUSE commands while the LT
is operating. Mistakes made when using these items can cause machine accidents or
damage.
● Be sure the electricity is turned OFF before attaching or detaching an I/O unit. If
the electricity is ON when an I/O unit is attached or detached, damage or
malfunction to the I/O unit may occur.
Unit Disposal
● When the product is disposed of, it should be done so according to your country’s
regulations for similar types of industrial waste.
8
● Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to remove dirt or oil from the LT unit’s
surface. Instead, use a soft cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
● Do not operate or store the LT in areas with direct sunlight, since the sun’s
ultraviolet (UV) rays may cause the quality of the LCD to deteriorate.
● Do not store the LT in an area where the temperature is lower than that
recommended in the LT unit’s specifications. Doing so may cause the LCD display’s
liquid to congeal, which can damage the LCD. Also, if the storage area’s
temperature becomes higher than the specified level, the LCD’s liquid may become
isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, only store the LT in
areas where temperatures are within the LT unit’s specifications.
● After turning OFF the LT, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again.
The LT may not operate correctly if it is restarted too quickly.
● Be sure to back up the LT screen data and logic programs in case they are lost
accidentally.

2-1. Variable
A variable is a “data holder” and equivalent to PLC’s device address. It stores a bit data
or word (numeric) data.
In conventional PLCs, areas used to store data are called device addresses and these
addresses are given specific names by each PLC manufacturer.
External I/O Internal Relay Timer Data Register
With GP-Pro EX, you can assign arbitrary names to these device addresses and use them
as variables in the logic program.
X1 X2 T200
Y1
Y1
K50
T200
For the ladders of the PLCs, it is common to add a comment, such as I/O part name,
on the device address. With GP-Pro EX, since the comment can be a variable name,
you can save your time to check addresses and their comments. This is useful for
development or maintenance.
22
2-1-2. How to set variables
To set variables in GP-Pro EX, open “ Symbol Variable” in the “Common Settings”
window.

3-3-1. Array
An array is equivalent to consecutive device addresses of a PLC.
On GP-Pro EX, bits and numeric data are stored in the variables. » See page 22.
When a few decades of numeric data are required, for example, it takes a lot of
effort to register all of the integer variables one by one, or is difficult to control the
program memory.
For PLCs, the number of consecutive device addresses are specified starting from
the top address. On the other hand, for GP-Pro EX, the data storage location for
the number set in one variable name is specified and kept on the memory by using
an array.
Please see the below example.
E.g.) A device has 5 switches for input. Create a variable for each switch.

ABC.X[3]
2) Data for 8 bits (Modifier .B[n])
An integer variable is divided into 8-bits and handled as 4-byte device address.
Its value is an unsigned integer from 0 to 256.
E.g.) Specify the 2nd byte of an integer variable, “ABC”. (e.g.)
ABC

4-1. FAQ
■ Hardware
[General Specifications]
Q. How constant is the scan time of the logic program?
A. The minimum scan time for the logic program is 10ms to keep the minimum time that is required for the screen
display, touch panel, and communication. If the number of the parts on the screen or the size of the logic
program is increased, the scan time will be longer.
Q. On what occasion, does the lamp on the left bottom of the LT blink in green after
power on?
A. The state the green lamp is blinking indicates that the logic program is not running. Please check if the logic
program runs or not. The status LED also indicates the run states of the firmware and error status such as
burnout lamp.
[Memory]
Q. How much capacity of the logic program does the LT have?
A. The logic capacity of the LT is 15000 steps.. The capacity of the program depends on the number of variables or
the number of logic instructions.
Q. Is the data which the LT keeps still saved after changing the logic program?
A. With GP-Pro EX, you can reload the program with the current value of the retentive variable saved.
1. Open [Transfer Settings] in the [Transfer Tool] window.
2. Check [Retain retentive variables] in [Transfer Project].
3. Click [Send Project] in the [Transfer Tool].
Q. How are the counter and timer variable data treated after the LT turns off?

[Logic Program]
Q. What is a variable?
A. It can be considered as a container for data. For conventional PLCs, I/O and data memories are called device
addresses , which are treated in the specific way of each manufacture. For the LT, variables are used instead of
these device addresses and you can manage them with arbitrary names.
Q. How can I use data register (e.g. D0100) for the PLC?
A. Create integer variables with GP-Pro EX. You can create them by entering on the “Edit Symbol Variable”
window, on the logic program directly, or on the I/O screen.
Q. I want to create many of variables quickly. Is there any method to create them
easily?
A. Use the 変数の一括コピー機能を使用できます。You can also make arrays if the variables are bit, integer, or real
variables.
[Data Compatibility]
Q. Are data for the LT3000 Series compatible with data for the former LT Series?
A. They are incompatible. The project file created with C-Package (PRW file) can be used on the LT3000 Series.
However, create data for the LT3000 Series with GP-Pro EX (Ver.2.0 or above).
