[Design Precautions]

WARNING

●Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system

operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.

Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting

operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured

external to the programmable controller.

(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all

outputs are:

• Turned OFF if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is

activated.

• Held or turned OFF according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU

module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.

(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the

CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety

mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit

example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.

(4) Outputs may remain ON or OFF due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in

an output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a

serious accident.

●In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a

load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an

external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

●Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power

supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output

or malfunction.

●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the

network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

●When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data

of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the

entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,

parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,

read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper

operation may damage machines or cause accidents.

●Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate

action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication

failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions

to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

●Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the

module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to

each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the

"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the

module used.

●If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication

failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire

system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a

communication failure may result in an accident.

●To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against unauthorized access from

external devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against

unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.

CAUTION

●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power

cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction

due to noise.

●During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current

(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned OFF and ON.

Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.

●After the power is turned OFF and ON or the CPU module is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN

status varies depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design

circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.

●Do not turn the power OFF or reset the CPU module while the settings are being written. Doing so will

make the data in the flash ROM or SD memory card undefined. The values need to be set in the buffer

memory and written to the flash ROM or the SD memory card again. Doing so may cause malfunction

or failure of the module.

●When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as remote RUN/

STOP functions), select "Do Not Open in Program" for "Open Method Setting" in the module

parameters. If "Open in Program" is selected, an execution of remote STOP causes the

communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the communication line,

and the external device cannot execute the remote RUN.

[Installation Precautions]

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING

●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the

module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

CAUTION

●Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets general specifications written in Safety

Guidelines included in the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or

damage to or deterioration of the product.

●To mount a module, place the concave part(s) located at the bottom onto the guide(s) of the base unit,

and push in the module, and make sure to fix the module with screws since this module has no

module fixing hook. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.

●Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw,

short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,

short circuit, or malfunction.

●When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.

Check the connection for looseness. Poor contact may cause malfunction.

●When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the memory card slot. Check that it is inserted

completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.

●Securely insert an extended SRAM cassette into the cassette connector of a CPU module. After

insertion, close the cassette cover and check that the cassette is inserted completely. Poor contact

may cause malfunction.

●Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module, SD memory

card, extended SRAM cassette, or connector. Doing so may cause malfunction or failure of the

module.

WARNING

●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

●After installation and wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for

operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

●Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance

of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.

●Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade

solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in

failure.

●Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables

correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire

or failure.

●Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the

manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or

malfunction.

●Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.

●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power

cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction

due to noise.

●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,

resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact. Do not clamp the

extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics of the cables,

resulting in malfunction.

●Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an

incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.

●Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening

can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw

and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

●When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable

with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,

loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or

damage to the module or cable.

●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can

cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.

●A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,

from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat

dissipation before system operation.

[Wiring Precautions]

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION

●Programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the

power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a

power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of

protection against electric shock. For wiring, refer to MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.

●For Ethernet cables to be used in the system, select the ones that meet the specifications in the user's

manual for the module used. If not, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.

●Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.

●Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or

throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the

battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury or fire.

●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or

retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may

result in electric shock.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION

●When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data

of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the

entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,

parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,

read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper

operation may damage machines or cause accidents.

●Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate

action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication

failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions

to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.

●Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.

●Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone

System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller. Failure to do so

may cause malfunction.

●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the

module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

●Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the

component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module,

resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
