2.14.1 System Structure

The following describes the system structure for connecting the GP to Fanuc
Motion Controller PLCs.
Reference The Cable Diagrams mentioned in the following tables are
listed in the section titled "2.14.2 Cable Diagrams".

Be sure to inform the Fanuc Corporation clearly that the system

will be connected with GP series unit(s).

16i-Model A, 16i-Model B, 18i-Model A, 18i-Model B, 21i-Model A,
21i-Model B) must use the RS-232C serial port 2 (JD36B Port).

2.14.2 Cable Diagrams

The cable diagrams illustrated below and the cable diagrams recommended by
GE Fanuc Automation may differ, however, using these cables for your PLC
operations will not cause any problems.

• Connect a Termination Unit to the Motion Controller's JD15. The

Termination Unit, with a resistance of 100Ω is connected to the RD
B and RD A points.
Motion Controller
JD15
1 RD B Termination Resistance
2 RD A 1/2W100Ω
• Ground your Motion Controller Unit's FG terminal. For details, refer
to the Motion Controller manual.
• Ground the Shield to the Cable Clamp.
• If a communications cable is used, it must be connected to the SG
(signal ground).

• When using RS-422 connection, check the cable length with

Fanuc Motion Controller PLC's users manual.
• Depending on the usage environment, set the side used for the
the shield line's FG connection (GP or PLC). When the connector
hood is used for the FG, be sure the hood is made from a conduc-
tive material.
• With an RS-232C connection, be sure the cable length is 15m or
less.
• When creating a communication cable, be sure the SG wire is
connected.
