SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before use.)
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.
This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: [ WARNING] and [ CAUTION].
Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by [ CAUTION] may also cause severe injury.
It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety.
Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be read whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
●Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the programmable controller to ensure safe
system operation even during external power supply problems or programmable controller failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
- Most importantly, set up the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock
circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit to
prevent damage (to the equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).
- Note that when the CPU module detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during
selfdiagnosis, all outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the CPU
module occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be disabled. External circuits
and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
- Note that when an error occurs in a relay, transistor or triac of an output circuit, the output might
stay on or off. For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and
mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
●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.
●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure of the network, refer to relevant
manuals for the network. Incorrect output or malfunction may result in an accident.
●Construct an interlock circuit in the program so that the whole system always operates on the safe
side before executing the control (for data change) of the programmable controller in operation.
Read the manual thoroughly and ensure complete safety before executing other controls (for program
change, parameter change, forcible output and operation status change) of the programmable
controller in operation.
Otherwise, the machine may be damaged and accidents may occur due to erroneous operations.
●Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,
immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure. Determine the handling method as a system when communication failure
occurs along with configuration of interlock circuit on a program, by considering the external
equipment and CPU module.
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.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
●Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Executing data writing to the "system area" or "write protect area" may cause malfunction of
the programmable controller alarm. For the "system area" and "write-protect area", refer to Page
126 Buffer Memory.
●If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Construct an interlock circuit in the program so that the system always
operates on the safe side even if communications fail. Incorrect output or malfunction may result in an
accident.
●To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against unauthorized access from
external devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against
unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.
CAUTION
●Do not bundle the control lines or communication cables together with or lay them close to the main
circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the control line and communication cables at least 100 mm
away from the main circuit or power line. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
●When an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on. Take
proper measures so that the flowing current does not exceed the value corresponding to the
maximum load specification of the resistance load.
●After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size.
Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
●Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the CPU module and extension modules.
●If a long-time power failure or an abnormal voltage drop occurs, the programmable controller stops,
and output is turned off. When the power supply is restored, it will automatically restart. (when the
RUN/STOP/RESET switch is on RUN side).
WARNING
●Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring
work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
●Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in the User's Manual
(Hardware) for the CPU module used.
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke, conductive dusts, corrosive gas (salt
air, Cl2, H2S, SO2or NO2), flammable gas, vibration or impacts, or expose it to high temperature,
condensation, or rain and wind.
If the product is used in such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions, deterioration or damage
may occur.
