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]
WARNING
●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure in the data link, refer to Page 64,
Section 6.1 in this manual.
●When connecting peripheral devices to the CPU module, create interlock circuits in the sequence
programs so that the safety of the whole system will be ensured.
For other forms of control (such as program modification or operating status change) of a running
programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe
before proceeding.
Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program, and determine corrective
actions to be taken between the external device and programmable controller CPU in case of a
communication failure.
●Do not write data to "Prohibited area" of the buffer memory.
Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.
WARNING
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 minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Design Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
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.
CAUTION
●Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the user's
manual for the CPU module used.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the
product.
●To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) into the hole(s) in the base unit and press the
module until it snaps into place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module with
a screw.
Tighten the screw within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module.
Failure to do so may result in damage to 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.

[Wiring Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
CAUTION
●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module.
Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
●A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring.
Do not remove the film during wiring.
Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.
●Use cables specified by CC-Link Partner Association for a CC-Link/LT system.
If not, the performance of the CC-Link/LT system is not guaranteed.
Also, observe the network wiring specifications given in Page 28, Section 3.1.1.
If not, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.
●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them.
If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or
cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
●When disconnecting a communication cable or power cable from the module, do not hold and pull the
cable portion by hand.
For the cable with connector, hold the connector part of the cable.
For the cable connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw.
Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or damage to the module or
cable.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Disposal Precautions]
CAUTION
●Do not disassemble or modify the modules.
Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
●Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
●Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so may cause malfunction.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws or module mounting screws.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
●After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module to/from the base unit, and the
terminal block to/from the module more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant) respectively.
Exceeding the limit of 50 times may cause malfunction.
●Before handling the module, touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity from the
human body.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
