Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full
attention to safety in order to handle the product correctly.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
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 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 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.
●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.
●In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the current rating 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.
●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.
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.

- Do not open the cover of the CPU module and remove the battery unless the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
CAUTION
●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 this variation in 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 PLC 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).

AVERTISSEMENT
●Assurez-vous de configurer les circuits de sécurité suivants en dehors du contrôleur programmable
pour assurer un fonctionnement sûr du système, même pendant les problèmes d'alimentation externe
ou la panne du contrôleur programmable. Faute de quoi, des dysfonctionnements peuvent causer des
accidents graves.
- Configurez surtout ce qui suit : un circuit d'arrêt d'urgence, un circuit de protection, un circuit de
verrouillage pour les mouvements opposés (tels que la rotation normale ou inversée) et un circuit
de verrouillage (pour éviter d'endommager l'équipement aux niveaux supérieur et inférieur de
limites de positionnement).
- Notez que lorsque le module CPU détecte une erreur, telle qu'une erreur de minuteur de
surveillance, pendant l’auto-diagnostic, toutes les sorties sont désactivées. En outre, lorsqu'une
erreur qui ne peut pas être détectée par le module CPU se produit dans un bloc de contrôle E/S,
la commande de sortie peut être désactivée. Les circuits et mécanismes externes devraient être
conçus pour assurer un fonctionnement sûr des machines dans un tel cas.
- Notez que lorsqu'une erreur se produit dans un relais, un transistor ou un triac d'un circuit de
sortie, la sortie peut rester activée ou désactivée. Pour les signaux de sortie susceptibles
d'entraîner des accidents graves, des circuits et mécanismes externes devraient être conçus pour
assurer le fonctionnement sûr des machines dans un tel cas.
●Construire un circuit de verrouillage dans le programme afin que l'ensemble du système fonctionne
toujours sur le côté sûr avant d'exécuter le contrôle (pour le changement de données) du contrôleur
programmable en fonctionnement. Lisez attentivement le manuel et assurez-vous une sécurité
complète avant d'exécuter d'autres commandes (pour le changement de programme, le changement
