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 the network, data in the master module are held.
Check the communication status information and configure an interlock circuit in the sequence
program to ensure that the entire system will operate safely.
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.

[Installation Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
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.
●Securely fix the module with a DIN rail.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
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.
WARNING
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.

[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.
●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.
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
●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.
●When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. 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]
[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 or
retightening the terminal block screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
●Do not disassemble or modify the modules.
Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
●Tighten the terminal block screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the component or wire, 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 connect/disconnect the terminal block more than 50 times
(IEC 61131-2/JIS B 3502 compliant).
Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
●Before handling the module, 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.
CAUTION
●When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
