Caution
vi GLC300 Series User's Manual

! DANGER
Design Precautions
• Set up all safety circuit(s) outside the GLC to ensure that the entire
system operates appropriately to ensure safety, even when an external
power or GLC unit malfunction occurs. Otherwise, an accident can occur
due to incorrect signal output or incorrect operation.
(1) Set up all emergency stop and protection circuits, interlock circuits
for opposite movements such as forward and reverse revolutions, and
interlock circuits for machine damage protection such as upper, lower
and run (drive) limits in positioning, outside of the GLC.
(2) When the GLC’s watchdog timer error and other errors are detected,
operation and function performance is stopped. Also, if an error
occurs that the GLC cannot detect, such as an input/output control
equipment error, unexpected action can be taken in the input/output
control sections. To prevent this, be sure to set up all fail-safe circuits
and system mechanisms outside the GLC.
Reference For fail-safe circuit details, refer to 3.3 Installation Precau-
tions.
(3) If an output unit’s relay or transistor malfunction occurs, output can
remain ON or OFF. With any output signals that can cause a serious
accident, be sure to set up a circuit outside the GLC to monitor these
signals.
• Set up the circuits so that, prior to turning ON the GLC unit’s main
power, all I/O units and load control power connected to the GLC is
turned ON. If the load control power starts after the GLC’s program starts
RUN operation, it can cause an accident due to incorrect output or opera-
tion.
• Set up all interlock circuits in the logic program so that, when a commu-
nication error or automatic power shut-off occurs in the external equip-
ment connected to the GLC’s display or control function or the GLC unit
itself, the system operates in a manner that will ensure operation safety.
Otherwise, an accident can occur due to incorrect output or operation.
• Do not install switches used to control machine safety operation, such as
an emergency stop switch, as a GLC touch screen icon. Be sure to install
these switches as separate in hardware seitches. Otherwise, bodily injury
or damage can be caused.
GLC300 Series User's Manual vii

! WARNING
Wiring Precautions
• Prior to installing the unit or when connecting any cables and lines to the
GLC, be sure to confirm that the power cable is not connected, to avoid
the possibility of an electric shock.
• After wiring is completed, be sure to replace the terminal block's plastic
cover, otherwise, an electric shock can occur.
• High voltage runs through the GLC. Except for replacing the backlight,
NEVER disassemble the GLC, otherwise, an electric shock can occur.
• Do not use the GLC in an operating environment that is inconsistent with
that designated by this manual's specifications since it can cause an
electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to the GLC.
• Do not use the GLC in an environment where flammable gasses are
present, otherwise, operating the GLC may cause an explosion.
Start-up and Maintenance Precautions

• Do not touch the power terminals while the GLC's power is ON, other-
wise, an electric shock or incorrect operation can occur.
• Prior to cleaning the unit or retightening the terminal screws, be sure to
confirm that the GLC's power cable is not connected. Otherwise, an
electric shock can occur.
• Prior to replacing the backlight, be sure to disconnected the unit’s power
cord and wear gloves to prevent burns or an electric shock.
• The GLC uses a lithium battery for its internal clock and for backing up
control memory data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced (i.e. if the +
and - sides are reversed), the battery can explode. Therefore, before
replacing the battery, Digital recommends you contact your local GLC
distributor.
• Do not modify the GLC, otherwise, an electric shock or fire can occur.
viii GLC300 Series User's Manual

! CAUTION
Circuit Design Precautions
• Be sure to install all input and output signal lines in a separate conduit,
away from all power cables. Otherwise, incorrect GLC operation may
occur due to power cable noise.
Reference 3.2.4 Input and Output Signal Line Wiring Precautions
Installation Precautions
• Be sure to use the attachment screws (accessory) to attach the I/O unit to
the GLC. If the I/O unit is not attached correctly, incorrect GLC operation
may be caused, the I/O unit may malfunction or fall off the back of the
GLC unit.
• Be sure to securely connect all cables to their connectors, and confirm
that all the set screws and pinch-clips are secured. Otherwise, incorrect
input or output may be caused due to insufficient contact.
Wiring Precautions
• Ground the GLC FG line separately from other units’ FG lines. Other-
wise, an electric shock or incorrect operation may occur. Be sure to use a
grounding resistance of 100Ω or less and a 2mm2 or thicker wire, or your
country's applicable standard.
• In order to perform wiring of the GLC correctly, be sure to confirm that
the rated voltage and terminal layout are within the designated specifica-
tion range. If the supplied voltage differs from the rated one, or incorrect
wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire or unit malfunction.
• Use the designated torque to tighten the terminal block screws. If these
screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or
incorrect operation.
• Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall inside the GLC.
Otherwise, a fire, unit malfunction, or incorrect operation may occur.
Start-up and Maintenance Precautions
• Prior to performing a program change, forced program change, RUN,
STOP, or PAUSE operations during regular GLC operation, be sure to
read this product’s instruction manual(s) and on-line help information
and understand them thoroughly to ensure the safe operation of your
GLC. Incorrect operation may cause an accident or machine damage.
• Prior to attaching or removing the I/O unit, be sure to confirm that the
GLC's power cable is not connected. If the attachment or removal of the
I/O unit is performed while the power cable is connected, the I/O unit
may malfunction or incorrect operation may occur.
GLC300 Series User's Manual ix

GLC Disposal Precautions
• When disposing of this unit, process it as you would industrial waste.
To Prevent GLC Damage:

• Never strike the touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or push on the
touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the unit.
• If the GLC is used in an environment with temperatures and humidity in
excess of the allowed range, the GLC may malfunction and/or its useful
life may be shortened.
• Do not allow water, liquids, metal particles, or charged particles to enter
inside the GLC's chassis, since they can cause either a GLC malfunction
or an electrical shock.
• Do not use this unit in areas where the temperatures can change drasti-
cally, causing condensation to form inside the unit. This can cause the unit
to malfunction.
• Avoid restricting the GLC's naturally occurring ventilation, or storing or
using the GLC in an environment that is too hot.
• Avoid using or storing the GLC in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty
or dirty environments.
• Because the GLC is a precision instrument, do not store or use the GLC
where a sudden shock or excessive vibration can occur.
• Do not store or use the GLC where chemicals and acids evaporate, or
where chemicals and acids are present in the air.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GLC.
• Due to the danger of unforeseen accidents, be sure to back up the GLC's
screen data and logic programs regularly.
• After turning this unit OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it
ON again. If the unit is started too soon, it may not start up correctly.
About the GLC's Display Panel:
• The Display Panel contents and the Contrast Adjustment affect the inten-
sity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of the screen are brighter than
others, creating a wavelike pattern)
• There are minute grid-points(dark or light) on the Display Panel's surface.
This is part of the GLC's design and not a defect.
• Shadows may appear at the top of the LCD. This is normal for an LCD
display.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have
changed. This is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to
remain when the display is changed to another screen.
x GLC300 Series User's Manual

To prevent this effect:
Set up the GLC's "Stand-by Mode", which turns the screen OFF auto-
matically when there is no input for a specified period of time.
Reference 5.3.1 SYSTEM SETUP
Do not display any single screen for a long period of time. Try to
always change the screen display periodically.

*1 The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions
equivalent to the standards shown in the specification . Even though the GP unit’s level of
resistance is equivalent to these standards, oils that should have no effect on the GP can
possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils are present, or
where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long periods of time. If
the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these conditions can lead to the
ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection measures are suggested. Also, if non-
approved oils are present, it may cause deformation or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic
cover. Therefore, prior to installing the GP be sure to confirm the type of conditions that
will be present in the GP’s operating environment.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are
removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To
maintain the original protection level, you need to replace the installation gasket regularly.

Chapter 3 - Installation and Wiring
Note: • Be sure that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the GLC to
exceed its standard operating temperature.
• Normally, GLC units should be installed horizontally.
• If the ambient operating temperature exceeds the allowed limit, be sure to
use forced air cooling system (i.e. a fan) so that the GLC unit operates
within the ambient operating temperature range.
• When installing the GLC vertically, orient the unit so that the Power
Terminal Block points upwards.
• For easier maintenance and operation, plus better ventilation, ensure the
GLC unit (including I/O units) is mounted at least 100 mm away from
adjacent structures and other parts.
• Be sure this unit is located as far away as possible from electromagnetic

circuits, non-fuse type breakers, and other equipment that can cause
arcing.
• It is important that the panel or cabinet’s surface is flat, in good condition,
and without any jagged edges for better water-resistance. To prevent the
panel or cabinet’s surface from bending, reinforcing stays can be attached
(welded) to its inner surface.
• Panel thickness should be from 1.6mm to 10.0mm.

! • A torque of only 0.5 to 0.6 N•m is required to tighten an at-

Important tachment screw. Be careful not to use too much force, since it
may damage the GLC unit.

3.2 Wiring Cautions
1. Connecting the GLC's Power Cable
WARNING
! WARNING
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure the Power
Cable is unplugged from the power outlet when
connecting the cable to the GLC unit.
• The GLC300-TC41-24V accepts 24 VDC power

input only. Using a power supply not made for
the GLC or, using a power supply with incorrect
polarity will result in damage to both the power
supply and the GLC.
• Please connect a breaker unit as a power switch

for your GLC.
• When connecting the GLC power cord's power

terminals, be sure to ground the FG ( ) termi-
nal, since there is possibility of an electric shock if
the GLC malfunctions.
! • When the FG terminal is connected, be sure the wire is

Important grounded. Not grounding the GLC unit will result in excess
noise.
Note: • Wherever possible, use thick wires (max 2mm2) for power terminals, and
twist the exposed wire ends when connecting the Ring Terminals.
• Please use the following sized Ring Terminals.
over Ø3.2mm
under Ø6.0mm
• To prevent the Ring Terminals from causing a short when the terminal
block attachment screws are loosened, be sure to use sleeve-type Ring
Terminals.
• Do not wire the GLC’s power cable either near or parallel to high voltage
or high current power lines.

To connect the GLC’s power cable terminals:

1) Confirm that the power cord is unplugged from the power supply.
2) Remove the power terminal block’s cover using a Phillips screwdriver.
3) Remove the power terminal block’s central three attachment screws.
After placing the Ring Terminals on the screw holes, reinsert the screws
to secure the Ring Terminals in place.
• Be sure to attach the Ring Terminals in the correct order.
• Appropriate tightening torque range is 0.5 to 0.6 N·m.
4) Reattach the power terminal block’s cover using a Phillips screwdriver.

2. Grounding the GLC
(a) Exclusive grounding (BEST) Connect the FG terminal found at

GLC unit other equipment the back of the unit to an exclu-
sive ground. [diagram (a)].
! Check that the grounding

Important resistance is less than 100Ω.
The grounding wire should
have a cross sectional area
greater than 2mm2. Set the
(b) Common grounding (OK) connection point as close to
GLC unit other equipment the GLC unit and make the
wire as short as possible.
When using a long ground-
ing wire, replace the thin
wire with a thicker wire
placed in a duct.
If exclusive grounding is not
(c) Common grounding (Not OK)
possible, use a common connec-
GLC unit other equipment tion point. [diagram (b)]
Note: If the equipment does not function
properly when grounded, discon-
nect the ground wire from the FG
terminal.
! • Do not place power lines over wires used for

Caution grounding the GLC, since it can lead to an acci-
dent or machine malfunction.

3. I/O Unit Attachment Precautions
■ I/O Unit Attachment

Prior to attaching the I/O unit to the GLC, first connect the power cable to
the GLC and then confirm that the electricity is not turned ON to the GLC
unit and I/O cable.
NEVER attach or remove the I/O unit with the electricity turned ON, other-
wise it can cause the unit to malfunction or to be damaged.
Reference For the attachment method of the I/O unit to GLC, refer to
each I/O unit’s User’s Manual.
4. Input and Output Signal Line Wiring Precautions
■ Wiring of the Input and Output Signal Lines

Install the input and output signal lines in a separate conduit from that for
the power cables. Also, be sure to keep sufficient distance from any power
cables so that the signal lines are not influenced by induced noises and
power from the power cables.
Input and Output Signal Power Cable Conduit

Note: If the power circuit cables cannot be installed separately, use shielded
cables and ground the shielded end of them.

3.3 Installation Precautions

When an external power problem occurs or the GLC unit malfunctions,
abnormal GLC operation may occur.
In order to prevent these problems from causing a system malfunction, as
well as to ensure the system’s fail-safe design, be sure to set up all circuits
that can cause machine damage or accidents by abnormal operation, such as
emergency stop, protection, and interlock circuits, outside the GLC.
The following are system design circuit examples, designed to enhance the
system’s reliability and provide optimal performance.
■ Electric Circuit’s Fail-safe Design

When designing the circuit structure, be sure to consider that an equipment
malfunction may occur when the GLC starts up, due to start-up time differ-
ences between the control equipment (specifically DC power equipment)
connected to the GLC’s output unit, the GLC unit, and the GLC’s program.
When using a remote I/O unit, create a program that checks the terminal’s
status via a logic program.
For example, first, connect voltage relay coils to the GLC output unit’s
power circuit and to the control equipment’s power circuit. Then, connect
their contacts to the GLC’s input unit. Be sure to set up the circuit so that the
ladder program of any control equipment connected to the GLC output unit
is performed only after checking the voltage relay ON signals via the logic
program.
■ Power Supply Voltage

The power supply should be in the range of 24 VDC ±20%
■ Automatic Power Shut-off

When the power voltage’s instantaneous failure continues 20ms or more, the
GLC’s power is turned OFF.
When this occurs, any arithmetic operation in progress is stopped.
For example, if power is turned OFF while 100 words of data are being
transferred by the FMOV command, this data transfer is stopped in the
middle.
When designing the program, be sure to consider this function.

! Emergency Stop Circuit

DO NOT build an emergency stop signal into the GLC and actuate it using a
program. Configure the emergency stop signal so that it is outside the GLC,
as shown below.

Note: The GLC and PLC both output their ON/OFF signals to the output equip-
ment at the same time, after the internal program is performed. For
example, the electromagnetic switches for motor’s forward and reverse
rotation are turned ON/OFF at the same time.
The main power circuit contacts for the motor’s forward and reverse
revolutions may turn ON at the same time, possibly resulting in a short-
circuit of the R and T phases. Therefore, the interlock system described
above or electromagnetic switches with a mechanical interlock for these
type of circuits are required.

■ Interlock Circuit 2
When there is a possibility that an accident can occur due to a GLC mal-
function, create a fail-safe design so that the interlock circuit uses external
hardware.
In a system where the drive motor must first be stopped when the drive limit
switch is actuated, never designate that the limit switch sends input to the
GLC, using the GLC’s software.
Be sure to design the circuit so that only hardware is used to stop the drive
motor, as shown below.

GLC Tool Connector
• When sending data to the GLC, the separately sold data transfer cable
! (GPW-CB02*1 ) is needed. I/F converting adaptor for PC is not attached to
Important
the cable. Please prepare a connector converting cable applicable to your
PC. Connector converting cables are available in general computer stores.
• When using a serial mouse, use a different serial port for the data transfer
cable.
■ Transferring Screen Data

Prior to transferring data, turn the GLC’s power ON. Then, set the GLC to
the SCREEN DATA TRANSFER mode or RUN mode. Please note that the
OFFLINE mode is not available with a brand-new GLC unit. The OFFLINE
mode (Initial setting screen) is available only after the screen editor
software’s system program is transferred to the GLC unit.
Reference GP-PRO/PB III for Windows Operation Manual
*1 GPW-CB-SET can also be used.

During data transfer, messages “SETUP Transfer” and “Transfer is in

progress. Please wait.” are displayed.
After the data transfer is completed, if the GLC has been set up*1, the OF-
FLINE mode’s main menu will be displayed. If the GLC has not been set up,
the screen specified in the INITIALIZE area’s SET UP SCREEN will be
displayed and the GLC enters the RUN mode.
■ Program Transfer
First, set the GLC’s operation mode to “RUN.” Transfer the logic program
to the GLC via the Pro-Control Editor.
Reference Pro-Control Editor Operation Manual (included in the Pro-
*1 Setup means to download the GLC’s system program and a PLC protocol driver from the
screen editor software, in order to run the GLC in a desired environment. This is auto-
matically performed by the screen editor software according the conditions.

Occasionally, you may want to change one or more of the GLC unit's gen-
eral operation settings. These settings are listed under the INITIALIZE
option in the GLC's MAIN MENU.
This chapter explains each of the OFFLINE mode's INITIALIZE items.
However, there are 2 types of INITIALIZE settings, those for the 1:1 con-
nection and those for the n:1 (multi-link) connection*1.
1:1 Processing where a single (1) GLC is connected with a single (1)
PLC.
n:1 Processing where multiple GLC's are connected with a single PLC.
The GLCs successively pass a PLC Access Token (exclusive PLC
interaction key) among themselves to designate which will commu-
nicate with the PLC.
Note: • If you transfer your screen design software's System file*2, the GLC
operates using that data. If the GLC System file has been correctly
setup and transferred, the INITIALIZE settings become unneces-
sary.
Reference For more information about GLC System files, refer to the
GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows Operation Manual.
*1 Some PLC's do not support n:1 (multi-link) connection.

5.3 SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT SETUP

GLC environment adjustments are made here. The SYSTEM ENVIRON-
MENT SETUP includes the SYSTEM SETUP, SYSTEM DATA AREA,
GLOBAL WINDOW SETUP, and CHARACTER STRING DATA SETUP.
1. SYSTEM SETUP
STANDBY MODE TIME (0-255)

To protect the GLC display screen, the GLC is equipped with a screen saver
function that automatically erases the screen when no GLC operations have
occurred for a period of time. A "0" entered in this field causes a normal
display, i.e. the screen is cleared after the GLC's standard default time
elapses.
When SYSTEM DATA AREA's ( Reference PLC Connection
Manual) SCREEN DISPLAY OFF*1 data is 0000H, and the following
operations are not performed on the screen for the User's designated period
of time, the GLC's current display data is cleared.*2
• Change Screen
• Touch Screen
• Alarm Display
START TIME (0-255)
This setup determines the start-up time of the GLC. Use this setup to adjust
the power up sequence so that the GLC starts up after the PLC.
TOUCH BUZZER SOUND
Setup whether or not the GLC beeps when pressed.
BUZZER TERMINAL OUTPUT
Setup whether or not the BUZZ signal is output from GLC's AUX I/F. This
option is for an external buzzer.
*1 When using the Direct Access or the Memory Link formats, the object address becomes
+9 or +12, respectively.
*2 When the GLC is in OFFLINE mode, this feature is not enabled.

PASSWORD SETUP (0-9999)

The password setting is used when changing to the Initialize Memory or
Initialize (OFFLINE mode) Screens. The password (number) ensures
protection of the GLC settings as OFFLINE mode will not be entered inad-
vertently. Enter the optional number of your choice. If you do not wish to
use this setup, enter the default 0.
DATA TYPE OF SCREEN NO.
This setup controls whether BIN or BCD format numbers are used when mak-
ing screen changes. Screen numbers 1~8999 are available when set up in binary
format; screen numbers 1~1999 are available when set up in BCD format.
2. SYSTEM AREA SETUP

SYSTEM AREA SETUP is necessary for the PLC to administer the GLC,
and prepare the PLC internal Data Memory (DM) and Data Register (D)*1.
Use this setup to prepare the desired SYSTEM DATA AREA items. When
using the Memory Link format, this setting is unnecessary.
Touch the item number, and when the item is highlighted, it has been selected.
System Area Size

This field displays the total number of words used for the items selected
from the SYSTEM AREA SETUP (Write and Read).
When you touch the Confirm key, the SYSTEM AREA CONTENTS screen ap-
pears to confirm the selected items
Note:
• The setup shown is enabled only when using the Direct Access format.
• The selected System Area items, as displayed on the screen, become the
System Data Area.
When these five items, "Current Screen Number", "Error Status", "Clock Data
(Current)", "Change Screen Number", and "Display ON/Off", have been se-
lected, word addresses are assigned to each item, in order, as shown on the
next page.
*1 Data Memory (DM) refers to the OMRON PLC ; Data Register (D) refers to the Mitsubishi
Electric PLC.

!
Important
Addresses LS16 to LS19 are
fixed since they control the
Global Window. These ad-
dresses cannot be used for any
other purpose.
The System DataArea selection process follows this formula [System Data
Start Address + n]. For example, if the System Area Start Address was
D00200, and the Change Screen Number option had been selected—if you
refer to the System Area Contents screen displayed above—because
Change Screen Number's address is pegged at +6, its word address would
be D00200+6=D00206 and be assigned to D00206.
Reference For more information on LS Areas 16 to 19, refer to the GP-
PRO/PBIII PLC Connection Manual (included in the
screen editor software package).
3. GLOBAL WINDOW SETUP

The GLC unit can display one Global Window and two Local Windows at
any one time. The Global Window is common to all the display screens.
The Local Window displays exclusively on the corresponding base screen.
The GLOBAL WINDOW SETUP is described here.
GLOBAL WINDOW
There are two options here: Use and Do Not Use. Selecting Use makes the
following options available.
GLOBAL ACCESS WINDOW

Setup the Global REGISTRATION NO. and the WINDOW LOCATION as Direct
or Indirect values. When set as Direct, the REGISTRATION NO. and WIN-
DOW LOCATION selections are fixed to the values setup here. When set to
Indirect, the WINDOW REG. NO. word address, as prepared in the System
Area, is variable—which means it can have the REGISTRATION NO. written
to it—and as a result, multiple window screens can be used as Global

windows. Using this same method, adjust the Global window position, by
writing the X,Y coordinates to the SYSTEM AREA's WINDOW LOCA-
TION word addresses.
DATA FORMAT
Setup whether the REGISTRATION NO. and the WINDOW LOCATION values
are inputted as BIN or BCD numbers. This field affects only direct values.
REGISTRATION NO. (1-256)
Setup the Window Screen Number used by the Global Window. This field
is applicable only when the GLOBAL WINDOW ACCESS is set to Indirect.
WINDOW LOCATION
Setup for the Global WINDOW LOCATION. This field is applicable only
when the GLOBAL WINDOW ACCESS is set to Indirect.
4. CHARACTER STRING DATA SETUP
Character String Data ordering varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Setup the Character String Data order here to match the corresponding PLC.
• Setup the CHARACTER STRING DATA MODE to match the

Note: • When the characters do not divide into 4 evenly, NULL is added.

5.4 SET UP I/O

This section describes the communication setup with the host PLC and the
setup for any peripheral equipment. The SET UP I/O menu includes the
SET UP SIO, SET UP PRINTER, SET UP TOUCH PANEL, and COMMU-
NICATION SETUP menus.
1. SET UP SIO
This menu runs the settings related to PLC communication. Be sure to
match the settings listed below with the SIO setup on the PLC host.
Reference GP-PRO/PB III for Windows PLC Connection Manual -
Environment Setup
COMMUNICATION RATE
The COMMUNICATION RATE (baud rate) is the data communication speed, mea-
sured in bits per second (bps), between the GLC and PLC. Match the COMMUNI-
CATION RATE values in both the PLC and GLC. Depending on the rate selected,
certain PLCs may not be able to be used.
Reference GP-PRO/PB III for Windows PLC Connection Manual
DATA LENGTH
For data communications, the DATA LENGTH must be set up as 7-bit or 8-
bit data.
STOP BIT
Set up the STOP BIT as either a 1-bit or 2-bit value.
PARITY
Set up whether no parity check, or an odd or even number parity check will
take place during communication.
CONTROL
Data flow CONTROL prevents the overflow of data sent back and forth.
Select either X-CNTRL or ER-CNTRL.
COMMUNICATION FORMAT
Select one of the following options for the communication format: RS-
232C, RS-422 (4 lines), or RS-422 (2 lines).

! • When using an RS422 cable and the Memory Link format, be

Important sure to select the 4-line option.
Reference GP-PRO/PB III for Windows PLC Connection Manual
2. SET UP PRINTER
GLC300 Series
PRINTER TYPE
Setup up the type of printer used with the GLC unit.
Use either EPSON option for 24 dot printers, and the HP-LaserJet Series
option for PCL4 compatible printers.
PRINT
Designates whether the printer prints in Gray scale or Color.
With Gray-scale selected, the printout of Blue and Green, Cyan and Red, and
Purple and Yellow will appear with the same pattern.
! • The HP-LaserJet Series does not support GLC color printouts.

Important Always setup as GRAY SCALING.
• Choosing Gray-Scale will reduce the 64 colors to simplified
grays. This will effectively eliminate pale or pastel colors.
BLACK/WHITE REVERSE
This setup reverses the screen colors from white on black (Fg/Bg) to black
on white for screen printouts. The screen background on the GLC is black,
but it is easier to see screen objects on the hardcopy when Reverse is ON so
the screen prints white.
E.g. When the GLC screen background is black and the fore-
ground is white, the printout appears as follows.
Print w/ Reverse ON Print w/ Reverse OFF
! • The previous setup is only for printing a hard copy of the

Important
screen image. When an Alarm report is printed, no matter
what this setting is, it will print as if REVERSE is ON.

3. SET UP TOUCH PANEL
Touch operation and Force Reset setup, and Display Device adjustments are
made here.
TOUCH OPERATION MODE

Designates either One Point, Two Point or No Slide. When No Slide is
selected, dragging one's finger across the touch screen will elicit no screen
response, and only individually selected points will register.
FORCE RESET
Set up whether or not a FORCE RESET operation is in effect.
Steps to run FORCE RESET
While holding down the bottom right corner (1) of the screen, touch the
upper right corner (2). At the same time, touch the bottom left corner (3) to
enter the FORCE RESET Operation. To activate Reset, touch the RESET
button, to transfer to OFFLINE Mode, touch OFFLINE.
! • FORCE RESET can occur during either RUN mode or OFFLINE

Important mode.
Note: • The FORCE RESET mode cannot be entered while the GLC is starting up.
• Entering FORCE RESET is possible even when RUN operations (PLC <—
>GLC communication) are not being performed.

CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT
The GLC300 cannot adjust screen color contrast.
BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
When set to ON, BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENTs can be accomplished through
touch input.
Touch the bottom left corner (2) of the screen while holding down the
bottom right corner (1) to enter BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT mode. Touch
the left-side of the bar to brighten the display; touch the right-side of the bar
to dim the display.
The GLC300 series unit has 4 levels.
With GLC300
Bright Dark
Note: • To end BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT mode, touch anywhere outside the

bottom of the screen.
• BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT mode cannot be entered while waiting for
GLC to start up.
• BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENTs can be made even during RUN mode
(PLC<—>GLC communication).

4. COMMUNICATION SETUP
These fields set when an error message is reported after a GLC<—>PLC
communication error is detected. This ensures an error has actually taken
place and not just slight breaks in communication or slowness in processing
data on one side or the other.
RECEIVE TIMEOUT
Set up how long the GLC unit will wait when there is nothing being sent to
it. (This is the Timeout Time.) However, if there is no cable connected up,
then regardless of the time set up here, the Timeout value is 1 second. The
default value is 10 seconds.
Note: • When a value of over 30 seconds is set here, and a screen is transferred
from the PC while a PLC Communication Time error has occurred, an
error may also appear on the PC side.
RETRY COUNT
This value designates the number of times the GLC retries sending a com-
mand before it displays an error messages as a PLC communication error.
The default value is 2.
If communication cannot be performed even after trying the number of times
designated here, the GLC displays an error message.
Even when an error message is displayed, the GLC continues to send the
command until it is received normally.

5.5 PLC SETUP

This is the setup mainly related to the system data area and unit No. Because
1:1 and n:1 GLC connections utilize different settings, confirm your
connection's needs before using any settings.
1. SET UP OPERATION SURROUNDINGS (1:1)
Enter the PLC System Data Area and the Unit Number settings here.
Note: • This setup is only necessary when using the Direct Access format.
STARTING ADDRESS OF SYSTEM DATA AREA

Setup the PLC's Data Register (D), Data Memory (DM), etc. allotted by the
STARTING ADDRESS OF SYSTEM DATA AREA.
UNIT NO.
Set up the PLC UNIT number here. Make sure it matches the one set up in
the PLC.
SYSTEM AREA—READING AREA SIZE (0-256)
When using a Block Display Trend Graph, setup the Reading Area Size (in word
units) to match the Trend Graph's data size. Setup when you wish to allocate the
Reading Area in the PLC Data Register (D), or Data Memory (DM).
Note: • If you are not using the Reading Area, leave the 0 default values intact.
High Speed Communication can be performed as a result.

2. SET UP OPERATION SURROUNDINGS (n:1)

This is the setup for the PLC System Data Area and the Unit Number for an
n:1 (multi-link) PLC connection.
Reference For more about the SYSTEM DATA AREA with the n:1 (multi-
link) connection, refer to the GP-PRO/PB III for Windows
PLC Connection Manual; 4.6 SYSTEM AREA SETUP.
Note: • This setup is only necessary when using the Direct Access format.
STARTING ADDRESS OF SYSTEM DATA AREA

Setup the PLC's Data Register (D), Data Memory (DM), etc. allotted by the
STARTING ADDRESS OF SYSTEM DATA AREA.
UNIT NO.
Set up the PLC UNIT number here. Make sure it matches the one set up in
the PLC.
SYSTEM AREA—READING AREA SIZE (0-256)
When using a Block Display Trend Graph, setup the Reading Area Size (in
word units) to match the Trend Graph's data size. Setup when you wish to
allocate the Reading Area in the PLC Data Register (D), or Data Memory
(DM).
Note: • If you are not using the Reading Area, leave the 0 default values un-
changed. This will allow High Speed data transmission to be performed.

3. STATION SETUP (n:1)

The STATION SETUP, necessary for the n:1 (multi-link) setup, checks whether
correct communications run with the connected GLC System configuration.
NETWORK INFORMATION ADDRESS

In the n:1 (multi-link) connection, the Network Information uses 2 words in
its correspondences. These two (2) words consist of a Connection List and a
Validation List (described later in this section). These areas are allocated in
the PLC's Data Register (D) or Data Memory (DM).
PLC Data Register
+0 CONNECTION LIST PLC –> GLC

+1 VALIDATION LIST GLC –> PLC
! In the NETWORK INFORMATION ADDRESS, setup the same

Important address to all the GLC's connected to the same link unit. Fur-
thermore, when there are 2 ports in the connected link unit, do
not make them the same address.
■ Connection List
The word address for the Connection List sets up the number of GLC's
connected to the PLC, which must be registered beforehand on the PLC
side. When these GLC's are connected to the PLC, the corresponding PLC
bit numbers for the particular GLC Stations (see below) turn ON.
Note: • When the GLC is connected to the PLC, and the option of GLC only
correspondence ends and OFFLINE mode is entered, the GLC Station
Number turns the corresponding PLC bit OFF.
Bit 15 Bit 0

For example, when these 4 GLC units—bit 0, bit 2, bit 3, bit 5—are con-
nected, 002D (h) is written here.
Connection List 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 002D (h)
! • Be certain to setup this data before running.

Important
• Turn all bits not related to the GLC OFF.
■ Verification List
This area responds to the correspondence from each connected GLC. In the
Verification List, when the same bit numbers as the Connection List turn
ON, the corre spondence is accepted. The Station Numbers of the commu-
nicating GLCs turn their corresponding PLC bit number ON.
Bit 15 Bit 0
If the correspondence between the GLC and PLC is correct, the same value
as in the Connection List is written to the Verification List.
For example, the value 002D (h) in the Connection List, setup as the 0 bit, 2
bit, 3 bit, and 5 bit, writes to the Verification List.
Connection List 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 002D (h)
Verification List 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 002D (h)
! • When the Connection List and Verification List do not match,

Important a COMMUNICATION ERROR occurs. Check the setup again.
• When changing the connection, first turn all the bits OFF.
STATION NO.
This is the setup for the GLC Station Number mentioned in the above
section. The setup range is from 0 to 15, and the only other restriction is the
GLC STATION NO. must be unique in the system. If STATION NO.'s are
repeated, a COMMUNICATION ERROR occurs.
Note: • The STATION NO. is the number allocated to the particular GLC unit.
This number is not related to the Link Unit Machine number.

4. CUSTOMIZE SETUP (n:1)
The Customize function modifies the n:1 (multi-link) connection's commu-

nication method to make it more effective. To run communication effi-
ciently, the user should first determine whether they wish to have Operation
or Display priority set for the GLC. Based on this, the communication
response speed can be upgraded. (However, this also depends on the screen
information displayed)
PLC PRIORITY
According to how the GLC is used, select either Operation priority (OPE.)
or Display priority.
• Display
Setup the GLC to this option when using the GLC mainly as a monitor
screen. The GLC will command a higher display speed as a result; however,
the response time for the touch panel's operations will slow.
• Operation
Setup the GLC to this option when using the GLC mainly as an operation
panel. As a result, the GLC will command better touch panel numeric input
and switch response times.
Leaving the GLC in this mode does not influence the touch panel operation
response time of the rest of the GLC's very much; however, the screen
display renewal cycle will slow down
! • With Customize Setup, be sure to use the same settings for all
Important connected GLC's.
• To increase the display speed, use consecutive addresses
wherever possible. Also, set up bit addresses so that they are
consecutive, when viewed in word units.

• Speed Difference between Display Priority and Operation Priority

When using the Mitsubishi Electric Corp. A2A PLC, with a scan time of
20ms with consecutive addresses (80 words not included in the System
Area), the difference in reading speed is as shown in the following graphs.
GLC TOUCH MONOPOLIZE

The monopolizing of touch panel use can be set ON or OFF. When you
want to use the PLC exclusively ( Reference PLC Connection Manual
4-5 About PLC Monopolize) with a Momentary operation setup on the
touch panel, turn GLC TOUCH MONOPOLIZE ON.
When this setup is ON, the touch panel uses the PLC exclusively whenever
the momentary operation setup on the panel is pressed. In this way, you can
use the inching operation with a momentary switch. When you stop press-
ing the panel, exclusive use ends.
MONOPOLIZE TIME (0 to 2550s)
This field controls the length of time for the monopolize process when no
other touch panel operations are performed. The Monopolize process
begins when the System Data Area's 7th bit of word address LS14 turns ON,
and ends either when the bit turns OFF, or when the time set here elapses.
Note: • Pressing the touch panel in the middle of the monopolize process interrupts
the MONOPOLIZE TIME function, and ends exclusive use.
• When MONOPOLIZE TIME is set to 0, the monopolize function does not
end automatically.
Reference For more about the contents of System Data Area LS6 (status) and
LS14 (control), refer to the GP-PRO/PB III for Windows
PLC Connection Manual.

5. Controller Setup
Here, items related to the controller are set up. The controller setup includes
CONTROLLER SETTING, CONTROLLER DIAGNOSIS and I/O driver settings.
Reference For the explanations about controller self-diagnosis and I/O

driver settings, refer to the Pro-Control User’s Manual
(included in the Pro-Control Editor package).
Data set up via the Pro-Control Editor or GLC’s CONTROLLER SETTING is

written in the GLC’s nonvolatile memory. Although the default value has
been entered in the CONTROLLER SETTING's each item, be sure to alter them
according to the usage purposes.
TARGET SCAN TIME (10 - 2000ms)

Here, the total time required by the controller and the GP is set up. The
controller time represents the time required to perform an I/O read, the logic
program operation, and an I/O write. The setup range is from 10 to 2000ms.
When entering the TARGET SCAN TIME setting, the PERCENT ALLOCATION
becomes 50%.

PERCENT ALLOCATION (0 - 50%)

Here, the controller time’s ratio to the total scan time is designated. The

Enter date and time corrections to the date and time displayed in the
PRESENT TIME.
Note: • The GLC's internal clock has a slight error. At normal operating tempera-
tures and conditions, with the GLC operating from its lithium battery, the
degree of error is 65 seconds per month. Variations in operating conditions
and battery life can cause this error to vary from +90 to -380 seconds per
month. For systems where this degree of error will be a problem, the user
should be sure to monitor this error and make adjustments when required.
• Year, month, day, hour, and minute data can be written to the system data

3. SELF-DIAGNOSIS
4. Error Messages
This chapter describes both the GLC RUN mode and GLC problem solving processes.
6.1 GLC RUN Mode

There are two ways of entering the GLC's RUN mode; first, immediately after
plugging in the unit's power cord, and the other, from the GLC's OFFLINE
mode.
1. After Powering Up the GLC

First, connect the GLC's power cable. After the unit has powered up, the
START TIME value, set up in INITIALIZE area's SYSTEM SET UP fea-
ture, determines how long the display shown below is shown. If, however, a
screen has not been designated in the INITIALIZE area's SET UP SCREEN
feature, or if the screen itself does not exist, then this display will remain.
Controller
Version
GLC System
Version
2. Via OFFLINE Mode

Touch the MAIN MENU's RUN selection to start your downloaded
"project". The INITIALIZE area's SET UP SCREEN feature designates the
first screen that appears in RUN mode, and, after this screen appears, com-
munication with the PLC begins. If the designated screen does not exist, the
screen displayed when turning the power ON appears.

Chapter 6 - GLC RUN and Errors
Note: • To enter OFFLINE Mode, simply touch the top left corner of the GLC's
screen within 10 seconds after connecting the GLC's power cord.
E.g. After powering up the GLC, the initial screen that appears is equipped
with a built-in (invisible) switch in the top left corner. Touch this
switch to change the GLC from RUN to OFFLINE mode.
6.2 Troubleshooting
Here, the means to locate and remove causes of problems are explained. It
is assumed that the problems described here are caused by the GLC unit’s
problems, not host (PLC)’s. If problems caused by the host (PLC) occur,
please refer to the host (PLC)’s manual.
1. Possible Types of Trouble

Shown below are some problems that may occur while using this unit.
(A) No Display
The screen will not display even when the unit is powered On. Also,
during RUN mode, the screen disappears.
(B) No GLC/HOST Communication
The GLC unit cannot extract data from the host. An error message
may appear on the screen as a result.

6.4 Error Messages

This section explains the messages that appear when an error has occurred
in the GLC unit during RUN mode. The origin of the problem behind each
error message is explained with appropriate ways of disposing of the error.
After a problem has been solved, unplug the GLC's power cord and then
reattach it. (Only the latest error message will appear on the GLC screen)
1. Error Message List
The error messages listed below appear on the GLC unit. Instructions on
how to find and solve problems causing these error messages are explained
on the following pages.
• SYSTEM ERROR
• ILLEGAL ADDRESS IN SCREEN DATA
• UNSUPPORTED TAG IN SCREEN DATA
• PLC NOT CONNECTED (02:FF) and (02:F7)
• PLC NOT RESPONDING (02:FE)
• RECEIVE DATA ERROR (02:FD)
• GP STATION NO. DUPLICATION ERROR (02:F9)
• NETWORK ADDRESS ERROR (02:F8)
• PLC COM. ERROR
• SCREEN MEMORY DATA IS CORRUPT
• CLOCK SETUP ERROR
• SCREEN TRANSFER ERROR
• SCREEN TAG LIMIT EXCEEDED
• OBJ. PLC HAS NOT BEEN SETUP
Note: About CLOCK SETUP ERROR

This error message will appear when the GLC's internal backup battery
(used for both the internal clock and the backup SRAM when the power cord
is not connected) becomes weak and can no longer preserve that data.
The battery's strength is only checked when the GLC is started up, and this
error can only be cleared by turning the GLC OFF, then ON again.
If the GLC's power cord is reconnected after this error appears, data can be
safely backed up for approximately 24 more hours of use. (Approximately 3
working days)

2. Error Message Details

SYSTEM ERROR
Indicates a fault in the basic operations of the GLC.
Following the error message, an error code, as shown, will appear. Report
the error number and details on how the error developed to your local GLC
distributor.
(Ex. 1) • SYSTEM ERROR ( 03 : x x )
Displays when an unrecoverable error occres during data transfer
from a PC.
03 : x x
Error No.
Constant Value
(Ex. 2) • SYSTEM ERROR ( x x x : x x x : x x x )
Displays when an unrecoverable error occurs during data transfer.

Error No. 3
Error No. 2
Error No. 1
• Check if the GLC's Power Cord and the Input signal line have been wired
incorrectly.
• Check that the FG line has been grounded correctly, according to standards.
• Re-send the screen data from the PC to the GLC.
• If other types of communication errors have also occurred, try to correct
those problems also.
Reference RECEIVE DATA ERROR, PLC COM. ERROR
If the above mentioned methods do not solve the problem, please contact
your local GLC distributor.
• When OFFLINE mode displays during in RUN mode
When the GLC changes to OFFLINE mode without the user first pressing
the screen, there is a possibility that the screen data has been damaged. In
this case, after the SYSTEM ERROR displays, the screen automatically reverts
to OFFLINE mode after about 10 seconds. Run the INITIALIZE MEMORY
command and transfer the Pro-control Editor's screen data again from your
PC.

(1) GLC-related Problems

When a problem occurs suddenly during operation regardless of the
GLC’s operation conditions, it is considered that it is caused by the GLC
in this case, influence from noise from power cables and communication
lines as well as from static electricity should be considered.
Possible countermeasures are, first, to check the power cable installation
and FG line’s grounding condition, then the communication line wiring
and FG line.
(2) Screen data or Program Problems
If a problem occurs during GLC operation, the cause may be abnormal/
incorrect screen data or an incorrect program being transferred to the
GLC.
Countermeasures are, first, to re-transfer screen data via GLC forced
setup. Via this feature, the screen data and program are forced to transfer.
(3) GLC unit malfunction Problems
If the GLC recovers from an error via turning ON/OFF the power, the
GLC unit is probably not malfunctioning. In order to determine the cause
of the GLC’s malfunction, perform self-diagnosis in the GLC’s OFFLINE
mode.
(4) GLC unit External Device-related Problems
When a problem occurs during printing, it is considered that the printer is
causing the problem. Check the printer cable connection, FG line, and
printer cable.
(5) Communication Errors Occur Continuously (only for link type)
When communication errors occur continuously over a long period of
time, the GLC recognizes them as system errors. In such a case, remove
the cause(s) of the errors.
ILLEGAL ADDRESS IN SCREEN DATA

Caused by addresses overlapping.
Following the error message, error codes, as listed below, appear. If the
error cannot be fixed, please report the error code and details on how the

RECEIVE DATA ERROR (02:FD)

This problem arises as a result of one of these three:
• There is a problem in trying to receive the data
• The connected PLC and the PLC setup for the data is different
• Noise
These errors, except for noise, appear when the Communication Cable is
pulled out when the GLC unit is On, or when normal communication opera-
tions are being run, but the GLC has been powered Off, then back On. To
solve the problem, simply begin running transmissions again.
When the error is a result of noise, correct any improper connections.
GP STATION NO. DUPLICATION ERROR (02:F9)

This error appears for one of two reasons:
• The GLC number is same as the station number for another
GLC. Check all the GLC station numbers.
• In the middle of correspondences, the PLC power has been turned
On/Off. Reset the power on the PLC and GLC, in that order.
NETWORK ADDRESS ERROR (02:F8)
The SIO address setup for the GLC is different from other GLC's. Check
the address setup for all the GLC's.

SCREEN TRANSFER ERROR

Displays when an error occurs in the data transmission from the screen
editor to the GLC panel. Check if the cable is connected correctly and try
retransmitting the screen data.
SCREEN TAG LIMIT EXCEEDED (max. of 384)
When tags are setup beyond the tag limit, these tags are made invalid. Tags
are invalidated from the end tag, in the opposite order in which they were
registered. Plus, when tags involve registered Windows and loaded screens,
they are invalidated in this order: Window Registry, Load Screen. Further
details for when multiple displays are set to one screen:
1. Disregard registered windows, starting from the end screen.
2. Disregard loaded screens, starting from the end screen.
To correct this problem, reduce the number of tags to within the allowed
limit.
OBJ. PLC HAS NOT BEEN SETUP (02:F9)

3. Changing the Backlight
7.1 Regular Cleaning
1. Cleaning the Display
When the surface or the frame of the display gets dirty, soak a soft cloth in
water with a neutral detergent, wring the cloth tightly, and wipe the display.
STOP • Do not use paint thinner, organic solvents, or a strong acid compound to
clean the unit.
• Do not use hard or pointed objects to operate the touch-screen panel, since
it can damage the panel surface.
2. Moisture Resistant Gasket Replacement
The moisture resistant gasket protects the GLC and improves its water
resistance. For instructions on installing the GLC's gasket,
Reference Chapter 3, Installation and Wiring
• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may
!
Important have scratches or dirt on it, and could have lost much of its
water resistance. Be sure to change the gasket periodically
(or when scratches or dirt become visible).

Chapter 7 - Maintenance
7.2 Periodic Check Points

To keep your GLC unit in its best condition, please inspect the following
points periodically.
GLC Operation Environment
Is the operating temperature within the allowable range?
(0 to 40 degrees Celsius)
Is the operating humidity within the specified range?
(30 to 85% RH)
Is the operating atmosphere free of any corrosive gasses?
Electrical Specifications
Is the input voltage appropriate?
24 VDC ±20%
Related Items
Is are all cables connected properly? Are they loose?
Are all mounting brackets holding the unit securely?
Are there many scratches or traces of dirt on the moisture resistant
gasket?

7.3 Changing the Backlight

The GLC300 Series units use CFL type backlights. The GLC300 series
backlight is a long-life type, however the actual life of the backlight unit will
vary depending on the GLC's operating conditions.
The GLC300's backlight(GP577RT-BL00-MS) has a life of 40,000 hours
(appr. 4.6 years). When the backlight is lit continuously for the above period
of time, its brightness reduces to about half of that of a new one's.
Backlights are sold separately as optional maintenance items. Refer to the
following explanations when replacing your GLC unit's backlights.
! • Whenever changing the Backlight, be sure the

Warning GLC's power cord has been disconnected and that
the unit is cooled down.
• When the GLC's power cord is connected and the

GLC is ON, high voltage runs through the wires in
the backlight area—do not touch them!
• When the GLC's power has just been turned OFF,

the Backlight area is still very hot! Be sure to wear
gloves to prevent being burned.
• Be sure to change both backlights, i.e. the upper and the

lower units.
!
Important • Do not allow water, oil or handprints to be left on the tube,
since they can all reduce the backlight's life.
■ Items Required When Changing The GLC's Backlight

◆ Phillips type screwdriver (no.2) for GLC's rear cover attachment screws.
◆ Phillips type screwdriver (no.0) for backlight unit's metal cover.
◆ One pair of clean (preferably new) cotton gloves.
(Also, a small container for placing the attachment screws may help to
prevent them from becoming lost or misplaced)

■ How to replace the GLC300's backlight

This unit has two backlights, one at the top and one at the bottom. The follow-
ing explanation is for changing the top backlight. To change the bottom
backlight, simply repeat the procedures shown here in the same order.
! • Be sure to change both backlights at the same time.
Important
• The GLC300 backlight's CFL tube and housing are combined in one unit.
Note: Be sure to change only this combined unit.
1) Turn the GLC’s power OFF (i.e. disconnect the GLC's power cord).
2) Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the case’s two rear attachment
screws, and pivot the rear cover open, starting from the top of the
unit. (The cover is fastened at the bottom, and hinges open).
Top
Bottom
STOP • The rear cover cannot be completely removed. If you attempt to remove it,
you may break the cover.
3) Disconnect the upper backlight's power connector from the GLC's
inverter.
4) Loosen the backlight unit holder's two attachment screws, and

remove the backlight unit's metal cover.
STOP • Since the attachment screws are small, be sure not to lose them or allow
them to fall inside the GLC's case.

5) Remove the old backlight unit.
6) Insert the new backlight into the unit.

Top
Bottom
! The upper and lower backlight units are different.

Important
The upper backlight unit can be distin-
guished by the arrow mark shown here.
7) Insert the backlight unit holder's three positioning tabs into the
backlight's three positioning slots. Next, retighten the cover's two
attachment screws.
8) Reattach the backlight unit's power connector.

9) Repeat these steps for the GLC's bottom backlight unit.
10) After both backlight units are changed and the power connectors
reattached, close the rear case and reattach the case's two attach-
ment screws.
! • Be sure not to pinch or cut any of the GLC's internal wiring
Important when closing the case.
• If the attachment screws are missing, check that they are not
left inside the GLC's case. Turning the GLC's power ON while
they are left inside the GLC may cause a malfunction.
Note: • When the replacement of the backlight is finished, turn on the GLC and
make sure that the screen display is correct. If the unit malfunctions, please
contact your Pro-face dealer for service and advice.
