Unified Controller Vm series Controller typeS Instruction Manual

Prohibited

Do not insert or drop any metal into

the gaps of the device main unit.

It may cause fire.

Instruction

In case the contact relay used for

relay output, check the contact

lifespan of the relay before using.

If the contact life of the relay is exceeded,

an output error may occur due to defective

contact, causing accident or machine

damage.

Contact relays have a lifespan due to

contact abrasion. Replace it if it exceeds

the lifespan.

Instruction

Turn off the power after the shutdown

capacitor is charged.

If the power is turned off while the

shutdown capacitor has not been charged,

the memory data and programs will be lost

at the next startup, which may cause an

accident or damage to the machine due to

malfunction.

Instruction
