SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(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 logic 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 save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forward it to the end user.
[Design Instructions]
!DANGER
Provide a safety circuit outside the programmable logic controller so that the entire system will
operate safely even when an external power supply error or PLC fault occurs.
Failure to observe this could lead to accidents for incorrect outputs or malfunctioning.
(1) Configure an emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit such as a positioning upper
limit/lower limit to prevent mechanical damage outside the PLC.
(2) The machine zero point return operation is controlled by the zero point return direction and
zero point return speed data. Deceleration starts when the near-point dog turns ON. Thus,
if the zero point return direction is incorrectly set, deceleration will not start and the
machine will continue to travel. Configure an interlock circuit to prevent mechanical
damage outside the PLC.
(3) When the module detects an error, normally deceleration stop or sudden stop will take
place according to the parameter stop group settings. Set the parameters to the positioning
system specifications.
Make sure that the zero point return parameter and positioning data are within the
parameter setting values.

[Design Instructions]
!CAUTION
Do not bundle or adjacently lay the control wire or communication cable with the main circuit or
power wire.
Separate these by 100mm or more.
Failure to observe this could lead to malfunctioning caused by noise.
[Mounting Instructions]
!CAUTION
Use the PLC within the general specifications environment given in this manual.
Using the PLC outside the general specification range environment could lead to electric
shocks, fires, malfunctioning, product damage or deterioration.
Always securely insert the module latches at the bottom of the module into the fixing holes on
the base unit. (Always screw the AnS Series module onto the base unit with the specified
torque.)
Improper mounting of the module could lead to malfunctioning, faults or dropping.
Securely connect the external device connection connector and peripheral device connection
connector into the module connector until a click is heard.
Improper connection could lead to a connection fault, and to incorrect inputs and outputs.
When not connecting the drive unit, always install a cover on the connector section.
Failure to observe this could lead to malfunctioning.
[Wiring Instructions]
!DANGER
Always confirm the terminal layout before connecting the wires to the module.
Make sure that foreign matter such as cutting chips and wire scraps does not enter the module.
Failure to observe this could lead to fires, faults or malfunctioning.
[Startup/Maintenance Instructions]
!DANGER
Always turn all phases of the power supply OFF externally before cleaning or tightening the
screws.
Failure to turn all phases OFF could lead to electric shocks.

[Startup/Maintenance Instructions]
!CAUTION
Never disassemble or modify the module.
Failure to observe this could lead to trouble, malfunctioning, injuries or fires.
Always turn all phases of the power supply OFF externally before installing or removing the
module.
Failure to turn all phases OFF could lead to module trouble or malfunctioning.
Before starting test operation, set the parameter speed limit value to the slowest value, and
make sure that operation can be stopped immediately if a hazardous state occurs.
Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body,
etc., before touching the module.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the module.
[Precautions for use]
!CAUTION
Note that when the reference axis speed is designated for interpolation operation, the speed of
the partner axis (2nd axis) may be larger than the set speed (larger than the speed limit value).
[Disposal Instructions]
!CAUTION
When disposing of the product, handle it as industrial waste.
