•SAFETY PRECAUTIONS •

(Always read these instructions before using this equipment.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual

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 CPU module user's manual.

In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

!DANGER

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 medium or slight personal injury or physical damage.

Note that the !CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to the circumstances.

Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal safety.

Please store this manual in a safe place and make it accessible when required. Always forward it to the

end user.

[Design Precautions]

!DANGER

•When the network develops a communication error, the station with the communication error will

enter into the following status.

Use the communication status data to form an interlock circuit in the sequence program that will

operate the system on the safe side. Erroneous output or malfunctioning could cause accidents.

(1) The remote master station will hold the data from before the communication error.

(2) The remote I/O station turns off all outputs. The output module of the remote I/O station can

clear/hold the output status at the time of error by using the remote I/O module parameters.

As the parameters are set to "clear" by default, the output module turns off the outputs at the

time of error. If it is required to hold the output in order to operate the system safely, set the

parameters to "hold".

•If a coaxial cable is disconnected, this may destabilize the line, and a data link communication

error may occur in multiple stations. Make sure to create an interlock circuit in the sequence

program so that the system will operate safely even if the above error occurs. Failure to do so

may result in a serous accident due to faulty output or malfunctions.

A - 2 A - 2

[Design Precautions]

!DANGER

•When performing control operations to a PLC (modifying data) in operation by connecting GX

Developer to the CPU module or connecting personal computers to the intelligent functional

modules, configure an interlocking circuit in a sequence program so that the safety of the overall

system is maintained. Also, before performing other control operations (program modifications

and operating status modifications (status control)) on the PLC in operation, be sure to read the

manual thoroughly and confirm the safety. Especially if the above mentioned control operations

are performed from an external device to a remote PLC, problems arising on the PLC side may

not be dealt with immediately due to abnormal data communication. Thus, in addition to

configuring an interlocking circuit in a sequence program, determine how the system should

handle data communication errors between the PLC CPU and external devices.

!CAUTION

•Always reset the CPU module after changing the parameters for the CPU module or the remote

I/O module. If this is not done, data from before the change could cause malfunctioning.

•Do not bundle the control wires and communication cables with the main circuit or power wires,

or install them close to each other. They should be installed at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) away

from each other. Failure to do so may generate noise that may cause malfunctions.

[Installation Precautions]

!CAUTION

•Use the PLC in the operating environment that meets the general specifications described in the

user's manual for the CPU module used. Using the PLC in any other operating environments

may cause electric shocks, fires or malfunctions, or may damage or degrade the product.

•While holding the module mounting lever at the bottom of module, insert the module fixing tab

into the fixing hole in the base unit. Then secure the module using the module fixing hole as a

support point.

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.

If too tight, it may damage the screw and/or the module, resulting in a drop of the module, a

short circuit or malfunctions.

•Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system before mounting or

removing the module. Failure to do so may damage the product.

For remote I/O stations of function version D or later, online module change can be performed.

However, the modules which can be replaced online are limited, and replacement procedures

are determined for each module. For details, refer to the section of online module replacement

in this manual.

A - 3 A - 3

[Installation Precautions]

!CAUTION

•Do not directly touch the conducting parts and electronic parts of the module. This may cause

the module to malfunction or fail.

[Wiring Precautions]

!DANGER

•Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system when installing or placing

wiring. Failure to do so may cause electric shocks or damage the product.

!CAUTION

•Be sure to ground the FG terminals independently for PLC by class D (class 3) or higher.

Failure to do so may cause malfunctions.

•When connecting cables to the terminal block for external power supply, check the rated voltage

and terminal layout of the product for correct wiring.

Connecting a cable to power supply of different rating or incorrect wiring may cause a fire or

fault.

•Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque.

Loose tightening may lead to a short circuit, fire or malfunction.

•Solder coaxial cable connectors properly. Incomplete soldering may result in malfunctioning.

•Be careful not to let foreign particles such as chaff and wire chips get inside the module. They

may cause a fire, mechanical breakdown or malfunction.

•The top surface of the module is covered with a protective film to prevent foreign objects such as

wire chips from entering the module during wiring work. Do not remove this film until all the

wiring work is complete. Before operating the system, be sure to remove the film to provide

adequate heat ventilation.

•Make sure to place the communication and power cables to be connected to the module in a

duct or fasten them using a clamp. If the cables are not placed in a duct or not fastened with a

clamp, their positions may become unstable and may move, or they may be pulled

inadvertently. This may damage the module and the cables or cause the module to malfunction

because of faulty cable connections.

•When disconnecting the communication and power cables from the module, do not pull the

cables by hand. When disconnecting a cable with a connector, hold the connector to the module

by hand and pull it out to remove the cable. When disconnecting a cable connected to a terminal

block, loosen the screws on the terminal block first before removing the cable. If a cable is

pulled while being connected to the module, it may cause the module to malfunction or damage

the module and cables.

A - 4 A - 4

[Setup and Maintenance Precautions]

!CAUTION

•Please read this manual thoroughly and confirm the safety enough before starting online

operations (especially, program modifications, forced outputs, and operating status

modifications), which are performed by connecting GX Developer via the MELSECNET/H

network system to a CPU module running on another station. Performing incorrect online

operations may damage the machinery or result in accidents.

•Never disassemble or modify the module. This may cause breakdowns, malfunctions, injuries or fire.

•Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or a PHS phone more than 25cm

(9.85 inch) away in all directions of the PLC.

Not doing so can cause a malfunction.

•Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system before mounting or

removing the module. Failure to do so may damage the module or result in malfunctions.

For the remote I/O network systems of function version D or later, online module change can be

performed. However, the modules which can be replaced online are limited, and replacement

procedures are determined for each module. For details, refer to the section of online module

replacement in this manual.

•Do not mount/remove the module onto/from base unit more than 50 times (IEC61131-2-

compliant), after the first use of the product.

Failure to do so may cause the module to malfunction due to poor contact of connector.

•Do not touch the terminals while the power is on. This maycausebreakdowns,malfunctions,

injuries or fire.

•Switch off all phases of the externally supplied power used in the system when cleaning the

module or retightening the terminal or module mounting screws. Failure to completely shut off

all phases of the external power supply may cause module breakdowns and malfunctions. If the

screws are loose, it may cause the module to short-circuit, malfunction or fall off. If the screws

are tightened excessively, it may damage the screws and cause the module to short circuit,

malfunction or fall off.

•Before handling the module, always touch grounded metal, etc. to discharge static electricity

from the human body.

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