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]
WARNING
Do not write any data to the "system area" of the buffer memory in the intelligent function module.
Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the programmable controller
CPU to the intelligent function module.
Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.
CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables.
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.9 inches) or more between them. Failure to do so may result in
malfunction due to noise.
At power-on, a voltage may occur or a current may flow between output terminals for a moment.
In this case, start the control after analog outputs become stable.
WARNING
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

A- 2
[Installation Precautions]
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
user's manual for the CPU module used.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the
product.
To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) into the hole(s) in the base until it snaps into
place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
Fix the module to the base unit with a fixing bracket.
Tighten the screw 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.
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.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any MELSECNET/H remote I/O station or in
the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced online, and each module has its
predetermined replacement procedure.
For details, refer to the relevant chapter in this manual.
Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module.
Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
CAUTION
Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100Ω
or less.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
Tighten the terminal screw 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, 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.

A- 3
[Wiring Precautions]
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
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.
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 screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
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.
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.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any MELSECNET/H remote I/O station or in
the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced online, and each module has its
predetermined replacement procedure.
For details, refer to the relevant chapter in this manual.
After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module to/from the base unit more than
50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant).
Exceeding the limit of 50 times may cause malfunction.
Before handling the module, touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity from
the human body.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
