DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
 Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe
system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC 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 self-diagnosis, 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 the output current of the 24 V DC service power supply varies
depending on the model and the absence/presence of extension
modules. If an overload occurs, the voltage automatically drops, inputs
in the PLC are disabled, and all outputs are turned off.
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 or transistor 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.
 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
PLC 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 PLC in operation.
Otherwise, the machine may be damaged and accidents may occur due to
erroneous operations.
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the CPU module and
extension modules.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
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.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to malfunction of the PLC
caused by abnormal data written to the PLC due to the effects of noise.
- Do not bundle the power line, control line and communication cables
together with or lay them close to the main circuit, high-voltage line,
load line or power line. As a guideline, lay the power line, control line
and communication cables at least 100 mm away from the main circuit,
high-voltage line, load line or power line.
- Ground the shield of the shielded wire or shielded cable at one point on the
PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems.
