[Design Precautions]
WARNING
●Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured
external to the programmable controller.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the head
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
Also, all outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where
the head module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a
safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe
circuit example, refer to Page 150, Appendix 10.
(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
●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.
●Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
●Configure a circuit so that the external power supply is turned off first and then the programmable
controller. If the programmable controller is turned off first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals for
each network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an
accident.
●When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the head module during operation,
configure an interlock circuit in the program of the master station to ensure that the entire system will
always operate safely.
For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as modification of the master station
program or operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before
the operation. Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device,
immediate action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a
communication failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program of the master
station, and determine corrective actions to be taken between the external device and head module in
case of a communication failure.
●Analog outputs may remain on due to a failure of the module. Configure an external interlock circuit
for output signals that could cause a serious accident.

[Installation Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
●Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" (R) of the buffer memory in the
intelligent function module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the
head module to the intelligent function module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable
controller system.
●If a communication cable (such as a CC-Link dedicated cable) is disconnected, the network may be
unstable, resulting in a communication failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the
program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely even if communications fail.
Failure to do so may result in an accident 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.
●During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
●At power-on, a voltage may occur or a current may flow between output terminals of the analog output
module for a moment. In this case, start the control after analog outputs become stable.
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 head 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.
●To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint levers
until they click. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
●Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw,
short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, or malfunction.
●Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.

[Wiring Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
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.
●After installation and wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for
operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
●Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100
or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
●Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose,
resulting in failure.
●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.
●Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
●Securely connect the connector to the module.
●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.
●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
●Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
●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.
●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.
●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
●A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat
dissipation before system operation.

CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
The head module can connect MELSEC-L series I/O modules and intelligent function modules on CC-Link IE Field
Network.
The head module can be used as an intelligent device station on the CC-Link IE Field Network system.
For CC-Link IE Field Network, refer to the following.
User's manual for the master/local module used
(1) Cyclic transmission
The I/O signals of the module connected to the head module can operate as those of the master station by
performing cyclic transmission. ( Page 65, CHAPTER 8)
For example, when the output (Y) of the master station turns on, the output (Y) of the module connected to the
head module turns on.

(2) Transient transmission
The master station and a local station can directly access the devices in the head module and the buffer memory
in the connected intelligent function module by performing transient transmission. Communications with other
stations on other networks can also be performed.
The master station and a local station send requests to the head module by using dedicated instructions. (
User's manual for the master/local module used)
(3) Parameter settings
Parameters for the head module can be set using GX Works2. Creating a program for setting parameters is not
required. ( Page 51, CHAPTER 7)
