A- 2

[Design Precautions]

DANGER

Install a safety circuit external to the programmable controller that keeps the entire system safe even

when there are problems with the external power supply or the programmable controller module.

Otherwise, trouble could result from erroneous output or erroneous operation.

(1) Outside the programmable controller, construct mechanical damage preventing interlock circuits

such as emergency stop, protective circuits, positioning upper and lower limits switches and

interlocking forward/reverse operations.

(2) When the programmable controller detects the following problems,

it will stop calculation and turn off all output in the case of (a).

In the case of (b), it will hold or turn off all output according to the parameter setting.

Note that the AnS/A series module will turn off the output in either of cases (a) and (b).

In addition, all output will be turned on when there are problems that the programmable

controller CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller. Build a fail safe circuit exterior to the

programmable controller that will make sure the equipment operates safely at such times.

Refer to " LOADING AND INSTALLATION" in QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design,

Maintenance and Inspection) for example fail safe circuits.

(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the outputs module relay or transistor. So

build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any single outputs that could cause serious

trouble.

A- 3

[Design Precautions]

DANGER

When overcurrent which exceeds the rating or caused by short-circuited load flows in the output

module for a long time, it may cause smoke or fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety

circuit, such as fuse.

Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply when the programmable controller main

module power is powered on.

If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in erroneous output or erroneous

operation.

When there are communication problems with the data link, refer to the corresponding data link

manual for the operating status of each station.

Not doing so could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.

When connecting a peripheral device to the CPU module or connecting a personal computer or the

like to the intelligent function module / special function module to exercise control (data change) on

the running programmable controller, configure up an interlock circuit in the sequence program to

ensure that the whole system will always operate safely.

Also before exercising other control (program change, operating status change (status control)) on

the running programmable controller, read the manual carefully and fully confirm safety.

Especially for the above control on the remote programmable controller from an external device, an

immediate action may not be taken for programmable controller trouble due to a data communication

fault.

In addition to configuring up the interlock circuit in the sequence program, corrective and other

actions to be taken as a system for the occurrence of a data communication fault should be

predetermined between the external device and programmable controller CPU.

CAUTION

Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or

install them close to each other.

They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other.

Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

When controlling items like lamp load, heater or solenoid valve using an output module, large current

(approximately ten times greater than that present in normal circumstances) may flow when the

output is turned OFF to ON.

Take measures such as replacing the module with one having sufficient rated current.
