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.

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

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

serious consequences.

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

reference.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

WARNING

Create a safety circuit outside the PLC to ensure the whole system will operate safely even if an

external power failure or a PLC 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 PLC.

(2) When the PLC 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 PLC 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 PLC

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 PLC. For fail-safe circuit example,

refer to "LOADING AND INSTALLATION" of this manual.

(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.

WARNING

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.

A - 2

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

WARNING

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 PLC.

Activating the external power supply prior to the PLC 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.

Otherwise, incorrect output or malfunction may cause an accident.

When controlling a running PLC (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 PLC in a remote location, some PLC

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 PLC 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 (AG60) or a dummy module (AG62) for it.

When using the extension base unit, A52B, A55B or A58B, 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 the 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.

If having read register R outside the allowable range with the MOV instruction, the file register data

will be FFFFH. Using this as it is may cause malfunctions. Pay attention not to use any out-of-range

file register when designing sequence programs. For instruction details, refer to the programming

manual.

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 module with the one of a suitable

current rating.

Time from when the CPU module is powered on or is reset to when it enters in RUN status depends

on the system configuration, parameter settings, and program size.

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

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 to mount the module.

Incorrect mounting may cause malfunctions, a failure or a drop of the module.

In an environment of frequent vibrations, secure the module with the screw.

Tighten the screw within the specified torque range.

If the screw is too loose, it may cause a drop of the module, a short circuit or malfunctions.

Tightening the screw excessively 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 for incomplete connection after installing it.

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

Insert the memory card and fully press it to the memory card 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.
