Design Precautions ( Warning)
Please install a safety circuit to protect the entire control system in case of an unexpected
power shutdown or PLC module malfunction. Such anomalies may severely compromise the
integrity of the overall system.
External to the PLC, please install circuits and switches to safeguard the system from
mechanical damages (ex. emergency stop, upper/lower limit switches, forward/reverse
direction interlocking circuits, etc).
When the PLC detects either of the following failure conditions, it may stop operation and
turn off all outputs.
- The overcurrent protection or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is
activated.
- The PLC CPU detected a failure, such as the watchdog timer error or module installation
failure, with its self-diagnostic function.
In addition, all outputs may be turned on when there is a failure that the PLC CPU cannot
detect, such as in the relay or TR terminal. Build an extra monitoring circuit that will monitor
any output signal that could cause serious accidents.
A greater than normal current passed through the PLC for an extended period of time, or a
short-circuited load flowing through the output module may cause a fire.
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply after the PLC power supply is turned
on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in output failure or
malfunction.
In order to ensure that the system operates safely, please configure an interlock circuit in the
scan program for the following situations:
- When exchanging data with a computer or other devices.
- When operated by a computer or other devices.
Not doing so could result in output failure or malfunction.
Precautions for design ( Caution)
Do not bundle the input/output signal or communication cables with the main circuit and
power cables. They should be installed at least more than 100 mm (3.94 inches) apart. Not
doing so could result in output failure or malfunction.

- 6 -
Precautions for mounting ( Caution)
Use the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications given in this manual.
Using this PLC in any environment outside the range of the general specifications could
result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
Please ensure that each module is installed correctly in its place. Loosely or incorrectly
installed pieces may result in malfunction, failure, or free-fall.
The PLC power supply should be turned off before mounting the module. Not doing so could
cause an electric shock or damage to the device.
Install I/O devices or extension connectors correctly. If they are installed incorrectly, it may
result in an input or output failure.
Do not convey direct vibration into the PLC. Doing so could cause electric shock, fire or
malfunctions.
After wiring work, please make sure to close the terminal cover before turning on the power
for the PLC system.
Precautions for wiring ( Warning)
Make sure to check the device’s rated voltage and circuit arrangement before wiring. Failure
to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the device.
Make sure to close the terminal cover before turning on the power of the PLC system after
wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
Precautions for wiring ( Caution)
Make sure to check device’s regular voltage and sequence of terminals. Failure to do so may
cause fire, electric shock and malfunctions.
Make sure to tighten the screws with standard torque. Loose connections may cause a short
circuit, fire or malfunctions.
When grounding the FG ground terminals, be sure to conduct the product with at least D
type (Class 3) grounding. Not doing so could result in electric shock or malfunctions.
When wiring, make sure that wiring debris does not enter the module. Failure to do so may
cause fire, equipment damage, or malfunctions.

- 7 -
Precautions for wiring of Analog Input Module ( Caution)
The maximum length for the connection cable between the module and driver is 100 m,
but we recommend the length should be as short as possible.
It is required to use separate cables for the connection between the PS08N and driver,
encoder input cable for the PS08N, and input cable for the servo driver to avoid surge
or induction noise generated from the alternating current.
Select a cable considering ambient temperature and allowable current. AWG 22 (0.3 mm2) or
more is recommended.
Do not use a cable when it is laying in oil or water. Do not perform wiring or any
operation with wet hands. A short circuit or an electric shock may occur, which can
cause injury or fire.
Before connecting the external contact signal to a servo driver, check the polarity.
In the case of wiring together with the high voltage cable or power line, malfunction or
breakdown may occur due to induction noise.
When wiring with pipes, pipe grounding is required.
For the communication cable between the PS08N and the driver, use STP CAT-5 or above
for the connection.
If a communication error occurs during operation of the PS08N, attach a ferrite core to the
communication cable to prevent noise.
Precautions for test run and repair ( Warning)
Please do not touch the terminals when the power is on. Doing so could cause an electric
shock or malfunctions.
When cleaning or tightening the screws, turn off the power of the PLC and all other systems.
Failure to do so could cause an electric shock or malfunctions.
Do not charge, disassemble, heat up, short, or solder the battery. Doing so could cause the
battery to heat up, rupture or ignite thereby harming the user.
Precautions for test run and repair ( Caution)
Do not dissociate the PCB from the module’s casing or make any modifications to the
device. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
When mounting or separating the module, make sure to turn off power to the PLC and all
other devices. Failure to do so could cause an electric shock or malfunctions.
Use radio, walkie-talkie, or cell phone devices at least 30cm away from the PLC. Not doing
so could result in malfunction.

Precautions for disposal ( Caution)
When the product is disposed of, it should be done according to your country’s regulations
for similar types of industrial waste. Not doing so may cause an occurrence of toxic
substances or explosions.
