SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle
the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable
controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious
consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
[Design Precautions]
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
●When a communication failure occurs in the network, data in the master/local module are held. Check
Data link status (each station) (SW00B0 to SW00B7) and configure an interlock circuit in the program
to ensure that the entire system will operate safely.
●When the module is disconnected due to a communication failure in the network or the CPU module is
in the STOP status, all outputs are held or turned off according to the parameter setting.
Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate
safely even in such a case. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or
malfunction.
●Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of the module. Configure an external circuit for
monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.
●Do not use any "use prohibited" signals as a remote I/O signal since they are used by the system. Do
not write any data to the "use prohibited" areas in the remote register. If these operations are
performed, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Security Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
●To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.
WARNING
●Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Use the module in an environment that meets the general specifications in this manual. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
●Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.
●Securely fix the module with mounting screws. Otherwise, the module will be greatly affected by
vibration, causing failure of the module.
●Securely connect the cable connectors. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
●After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the connector more than 50 times (IEC 61131-
2 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
WARNING
●Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
●In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

[Wiring Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
●Always ground the module using the included FG screw and FG strap. Failure to do so may result in
electric shock or malfunction.
●Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
●Tighten the waterproof plugs, waterproof caps, and module mounting screws within the specified
torque range. Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can
damage the waterproof plug, waterproof cap, and module mounting screw, resulting in short circuit or
malfunction.
CAUTION
●The product specifications are satisfied only when all of waterproof plugs and waterproof caps are
installed with the recommended connectable devices and all screws are tightened with an appropriate
torque.
●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
●Clamp the cables connected to the module. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be
pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. Pulling the cable connected to the module may
result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
●Wiring and replacement of a module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with
knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to "INSTALLATION AND
WIRING" in this manual.
●Consider fully the operating environment and input response time of CQ and Q terminals because the
module may take in noise as input when it is used in SIO mode (digital input).

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Disposal Precautions]
WARNING
●Do not touch any connector while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
●Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening screws or connector screws. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
●Do not drop or apply strong shock to the module. Doing so may damage the module.
●Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
●After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the connector more than 50 times (IEC 61131-
2 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
●Before handling the module or connection cables, touch a conducting object such as a grounded
metal to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module
to fail or malfunction.
●Startup and maintenance of a control panel must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel
with knowledge of protection against electric shock. Lock the control panel so that only qualified
maintenance personnel can operate it.
CAUTION
●When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
