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
●An AnyWireASLINK system has no control function for ensuring safety.
●When a communication failure occurs in CC-Link IE TSN, data in the master station are held.
Check Data link status of each station (SW00B0 to SW00B7) and configure an interlock circuit in the
sequence program to ensure that the entire system will operate safely.
●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.
●Configure safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit, external to the
AnyWireASLINK system.
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 external 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 connect the cable connectors. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
●After the first use of the product, do not connect/remove the connector more than 50 times (IEC
61131-2/JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
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 cause the module to fail or malfunction.

4
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
●Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. 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 a fire
or failure.
●Tighten the terminal block screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short
circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
●Incorrect wiring may damage modules and external devices. Adjust a cable length and a module
position to prevent disconnection of a connector type terminal block or a cable.
●Do not solder stranded wires of a cable when connecting them to the terminal block. Doing so may
cause poor contact.
●The power supply voltage of remote slave modules may be insufficient due to a voltage drop in the
power supply line. Connect an external power supply so that the voltage of remote slave modules is
ensured.
●Do not apply the 24VDC power before wiring the entire AnyWireASLINK system. If the power is
applied before wiring, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.
●Connect a 24VDC external power supply to the device(s) in an AnyWireASLINK system.
●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables.
In addition, the weight of the cables may put stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations
and shocks.
●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. 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.
●Use 1000BASE-T-compliant Ethernet cables for Ethernet connection. For the station-to-station cable
length and the maximum overall cable length, follow the specifications in this manual. If not, normal
data transmission is not guaranteed.
●When an overcurrent caused by an error of an external device or a failure of the programmable
controller flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external
safety circuit, such as a fuse.
●Mitsubishi Electric programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. 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.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Disposal Precautions]
WARNING
●Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module,
retightening the terminal block screws or connector screws, or operating the IP address/station
number setting switches. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Do not disassemble or modify the module. 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.
●Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away from wiring as well as 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.
●After the first use of the product, do not connect/remove the terminal block more than 50 times (IEC
61131-2/JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
●After the first use of the product, do not connect/remove the connector more than 50 times (IEC
61131-2/JIS B 3502 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.
●Use a clean and dry cloth to wipe off dirt on the module.
CAUTION
●When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
