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.

Install the emergency stop switch outsid the controlpanel so that workers

can operate it easily.

DANGER

CAUTION

A-2

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

(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.

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.

A-3

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

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.

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 output module with the one of a

suitable current rating.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Use the programmable controller 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.

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 the cable for incomplete connection after connecting it.

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

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