•SAFETY PRECAUTIONS •

(Read these precautions before using this product.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full

attention to safety to handle the product correctly.

The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product. For the safety instructions of the

programmable controller system, please read the user's manual of the CPU module to use.

In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " !WARNING" and " !CAUTION".

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " !CAUTION" may lead to

serious consequences.

Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future

reference.

[Design Precautions]

!WARNING

•For the operation status of each station at communication error in each station, refer to the

respective manual for each station.

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

•When changing data of a running programmable controller from a peripheral connected to the

CPU module or from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent

function module, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system

will always operate safely.

For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as program modification or

operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before the

operation.

Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,

immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on 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.

!WARNING

!CAUTION

A - 2 A - 2

[Design Precautions]

!WARNING

•Do not write data into the "system area" of the buffer memory of intelligent function modules.

Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal to an intelligent function

module from the CPU module.

Writing data into the "system area" or outputting a signal for " use prohibited" may cause a

programmable controller system malfunction.

[Design Precautions]

!CAUTION

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

power cables.

Keep a distance of 100mm between them.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.

[Installation Precautions]

!WARNING

•Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before mounting or removing the

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

[Installation Precautions]

!CAUTION

•Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications

described in "Safety Guidelines", the manual supplied with the CPU module or head module.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of

the product.

•To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint

lever. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, and drop.

•Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so

can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

A - 3 A - 3

[Wiring Precautions]

!WARNING

•Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before 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 product before turning it on

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

[Wiring Precautions]

!CAUTION

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

spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a screw on the terminal block

comes loose, resulting in failure.

•Connectors for external device connection must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by

the manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered.

Incomplete connections could result in short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

•Securely connect the connector to the module.

•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.

•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 block screw within the specified torque range.

Undertightening can cause 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 by hand and pull it out. For the cable

connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal block screws.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction and 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.

A - 4 A - 4

[Startup/Maintenance Precautions]

!WARNING

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

•Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before cleaning the module or

retightening the terminal block screw. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

[Startup/Maintenance Precautions]

!CAUTION

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

fire.

•Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before connecting or

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

•Tighten the terminal block screw 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.

•After the first use of the module (including a display unit), the number of module

connections/disconnections is limited to 50 times. Exceeding the limit (IEC 61131-2 compliant)

may cause malfunction.

•Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge

the static electricity from the human body.

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

A - 5 A - 5

[Operation Precautions]

!CAUTION

•When controlling a running programmable controller (especially, changing data, program

modification, and operation status change) from an external device such as a personal

computer connected to an intelligent function module, read the relevant user's manual carefully

and ensure the safety before the operation. Incorrect data change, program modification, and

status control may cause malfunction of the system, mechanical damage, or accidents.

•While set values in the buffer memory are being registered to the flash ROM in the module, do

not turn off the power to the module and do not reset the CPU module. Doing so will affect the

flash ROM data, and setting to the buffer memory and registration to the flash ROM need to be

performed again. Also, it may cause failure or malfunction of the module.

[Disposal Precautions]

!CAUTION

•When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
