A-2

[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) Configure external safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, and

protective interlock circuit for forward/reverse operation or upper/lower limit positioning.

(2) The programmable controller stops its operation upon detection of the following status, and the

output status of the system will be as shown below.

All outputs may turn on when an error occurs in the part, such as 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 LOADING AND INSTALLATION in this manual.

(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module relay or transistor. Configure

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

Status

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

In an output module, 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 relevant manuals for

the network.

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

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

CPU module or from a personal computer connected to an intelligent function module, configure an

interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely.

For program modification and operating status change, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure

the safety before 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 sequence program, and determine corrective

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

failure.

CAUTION

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

cables.

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

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

When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled through an output module, a

large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from

off to on.

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