SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Be sure to read these instructions before use.)

Before using the product, read this and relevant manuals carefully and handle the product correctly with full

attention to safety.

In this manual, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS are classified into 2 levels: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the CAUTION level instructions may also lead to serious

results.

Be sure to observe the instructions of both levels to ensure the safety.

Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference and also pass this manual on to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

Create a safety circuit outside the programmable controller to ensure the whole system will operate

safely even if an external power failure or a programmable controller failure occurs.

Otherwise, incorrect output or malfunction may cause an accident.

(1) For an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit and interlock circuit that is designed for

incompatible actions such as forward/reverse rotation or for damage prevention such as the

upper/lower limit setting in positioning, any of them must be created outside the programmable

controller.

(2) When the programmable controller detects the following error conditions, it stops the operation

and turn off all the outputs.

• The overcurrent protection device or overvoltage protection device of the power supply

module is activated.

• The programmable controller CPU detects an error such as a watchdog timer error by the

self-diagnostics function.

In the case of an error of a part such as an I/O control part that cannot be detected by the

programmable controller CPU, all the outputs may turn on. In order to make all machines

operate safely in such a case, set up a fail-safe circuit or a specific mechanism outside the

programmable controller. Refer to "LOADING AND INSTALLATION" in this manual for example

fail safe circuits.

(3) Depending on the failure of the output module's relay or transistor, the output status may remain

ON or OFF incorrectly.

For output signals that may lead to a serious accident, create an external monitoring circuit.

DANGER Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in

death or severe injury.

CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in

minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

If load current more than the rating or overcurrent due to a short circuit in the load has flowed in the

output module for a long time, it may cause a fire and smoke. Provide an external safety device such

as a fuse.

Design a circuit so that the external power will be supplied after power-up of the programmable

controller.

Activating the external power supply prior to the programmable controller may result in an accident

due to incorrect output or malfunction.

For the operation status of each station at a communication error in data link, refer to the respective

data link manual.

The communication error may result in an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.

When controlling a running programmable controller (data modification) by connecting a peripheral

device to the CPU module or a PC to a special function module, create an interlock circuit on

sequence programs so that the whole system functions safely all the time.

Also, before performing any other controls (e.g. program modification, operating status change

(status control)), read the manual carefully and ensure the safety.

In these controls, especially the one from an external device to a programmable controller in a

remote location, some programmable controller side problem may not be resolved immediately due

to failure of data communications.

To prevent this, create an interlock circuit on sequence programs and establish corrective

procedures for communication failure between the external device and the programmable controller

CPU.

When setting up the system, do not allow any empty slot on the base unit.

If any slot is left empty, be sure to use a blank cover (A1SG60) or a dummy module (A1SG62) for it.

When using the extension base unit, A1S52B(S1), A1S55B(S1) or A1S58B(S1), attach the included

dustproof cover to the module in slot 0.

Otherwise, internal parts of the module may be flied in the short circuit test or when an overcurrent or

overvoltage is accidentally applied to external I/O section.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

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

or bring them close to each other.

Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94inch) or more between them.

Failure to do so may cause malfunctions due to noise.

When an output module is used to control the lamp load, heater, solenoid valve, etc., a large current

(ten times larger than the normal one) may flow at the time that the output status changes from OFF

to ON. Take some preventive measures such as replacing the output module with the one of a

suitable current rating.

CAUTION

Use the PLC under the environment specified in the user's manual.

Otherwise, it may cause electric shocks, fires, malfunctions, product deterioration or damage.

Insert the module fixing projection into the fixing hole in the base unit and then tighten the module

mounting screw within the specified torque.

When no screw is tightened, even if the module is installed correctly, it may cause malfunctions, a

failure or a drop of the module.

If too tight, it may damage the screw and/or the module, resulting in a drop of the module, a short

circuit or malfunctions.

Connect the extension cable to the connector of the base unit or module.

Check the cable for incomplete connection after connecting it.

Poor electrical contact may cause incorrect inputs and/or outputs.

Insert the memory cassette and fully press it to the memory cassette connector.

Check for incomplete connection after installing it.

Poor electrical contact may cause malfunctions.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or

removing the module.

Failure to do so may damage the module.

Do not directly touch the conductive part or electronic components of the module.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or a failure of the module.
