WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
z 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.
z Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control
functions.
z System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be
given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the
link.*
z Each implementation of a Magelis XBTGT, HMISTO, HMISTU, HMIGTO,
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 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.

and 9 (ERB), and between 4 (ERA) and 8 (CSA).
z 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.

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 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.
COM1 (9-pin D-Sub Plug)
This COM port can act as either an RS-232C or RS-422/RS-485 interface.

CAUTION
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION
z All connections to the communication ports must not put excessive stress on the
ports.
z Securely attach communication cables to the panel wall or cabinet.
z 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.

Note:
z You can switch pin 9 between RI and VCC via software. The VCC output is not
protected against overcurrent. To prevent damage or a unit malfunction, use
only the rated current.
z You can use the Cable Connector (Omron Corporation: XMD-0901), Cable
Cover (Omron Corporation: XM2S-0913), and Jack Screw #4-40 UNC (Omron
Corporation: XM2Z-0073).

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:
z Verify that a short-circuit loop is not created when you set up the system.
z 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.

Magelis XBTGT1000, XBTGT1005, HMIGTO1310, HMISTO, and HMISTU Series

XBTGT1000, XBTGT1005, HMIGTO1310, HMISTO, and HMISTU Series machines
come with one COM port which uses an RJ45 connector. The RJ45 socket closest
to the power connector is the COM1 port. This COM port can act as an RS-422/485
interface.
