Precautions for safety
Signs and meaning of safety precautions
The following signs will be used in this Manual in order to provide precautions that will be required for
using the M-Series PLC safely. These precautions are extremely important for using the product safely.
Please read the safety precautions carefully in order to get familiar with and understand the content and
the meaning of the aforesaid instructions.
Warning
Means a potentially dangerous situation that will result in death or serious
injury if not avoided. In the meantime, it may also lead to serious property
losses.
Caution
Means a potentially dangerous situation that may result in minor or
medium level injury or property losses if not avoided.
Means operations that must not be executed.
Means operations that must be executed.
Means general precautions.
Means the precautions relating to hot surfaces.
Means the precautions related to the wiring, grounding and electrocution of the electrical
system.

Warning
Do not attempt to dismantle any module or touch the internal side of the module when
it is under energized status or it may lead to electrocution injury.
Do not attempt to touch any terminal or terminal board when the module is under
energized status, or it may lead to electrocution injury.
To ensure the system safety in order to avoid abnormal actions that may be caused by
man-made external factors or false actions resulting from the faulty PLC, it is required to
install the following safety measures in the external circuit (not within the PLC
procedure); otherwise, it may lead to serious accident.
The externally controlled circuit must be provided with emergency stop switch,
interlocking circuit, limit switch and similar safety measures. The PLC will stop outputting
the signals when encountering major failure alarm during the operations. However, the
errors in the I/O controller and the I/O register as well as other undetectable errors will
still trigger unexpected actions. To deal with the aforesaid errors, you are required to
install external safety measures to protect the system safety. If the output relay is
jammed, burnt or if the output transistor is damaged, then the PLC may still maintain its
output at the ON or OFF status.
To solve the aforesaid issues, it is required to install external safety measures to protect
the system safety. By installing the corresponding safety measures in the system and the
equipment, it allows you to maintain the safety of the entire system in spite of the fact
that communication errors or false actions have occurred during the operating process.
The user must take corresponding failure preventive measures in order to ensure safety
when the signal line is damaged or when the power is instantly disconnected or when
the signal is wrong, missing or abnormal as may be caused by other reasons. If failing to
taking the appropriate measures, it may lead to improper operations that may result in
serious accidents.

Precautions
Do not touch the power module when the PLC is under energized status or when the
power source is disconnected. At this time, the power module might still present
extremely high temperature that can cause a scorching injury.
When connecting with the terminal board of the power module, the cable should be
secured with the appropriately sized Ferrule. If the cable is loose, it may lead to
burning or the failure of the power module.
The online editing shall be allowed only after confirming that the extended PLC cycle
duration will not result in any adverse impact or the system may not be able to read
the input signal.
After confirming that the I/O terminal is safe, you may transmit the required
parameters to other terminals such as PLC setting, I/O table and I/O register data,
etc. Otherwise, it may lead to unexpected actions if transmitting or modifying the
aforesaid data before that.

Precautions for use
When using the M-Series PLC, please observe the precautions provided below.
Using the power
⚫Please use the voltage specified in the Manual. Incorrect voltage will lead to false action or burning
damage to the equipment.
⚫If the number of the module being connected exceeds the current rating of the power module, you
may not be able to start the CPU module or other modules.
⚫Please use the designated power source and then supply the power according to the specified voltage
and frequency rating. Special attention should also be given to the location subjected to unsteady
power supply, as incorrect power supply may result in false action.
⚫Before starting any of the following operations, be sure to disconnect the PLC power; or it may lead
to false action or electrocution injury.
(1) When installing or dismantling power module, I/O module, CPU module or any other type of
module.
(2) When connecting cables or executing the system wiring.
(3) When connecting or disconnecting the connector.
⚫When using the power module, be sure to observe following precautions.
(1) The voltage applied at the equipment output point or the connected load shall not be higher than
the rated specifications established for the power module.
(2) If it is required to put aside the power module for over 3 months, it shall be stored in a cool and
dry location in order to maintain its function at normal status.
(3) If the power module is improperly installed, it will result in the accumulation of heat as to cause the
aging or the damage of the component within. Therefore, it shall be properly connected and you are
also required to use the standard installation method.
Installation
⚫Do not install the PLC at the location near a high frequency noise interfering source.
⚫Confirm that the terminal board, the connector, the memory card, the peripheral communication wires
and other buckle-mounted devices are latched in position. Improper latching will result in false action.
⚫After connecting to the adjacent module, the buckle at the top or the bottom must be securely locked
( i.e., properly latched). If failing to lock the buckle tightly, the module may not be able to achieve the
intended function.
