xvii
Operating Environment Precautions 4
!WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable
Controller), including the following items, to ensure safety in the system if an
abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC or another external factor
affecting the PLC operation. (“PLC” includes CPU Units, other Units mounted
in the PLC, and Remote I/O Terminals) Not doing so may result in serious
accidents.
• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
• The PLC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects
any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed.
As a countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be
provided to ensure safety in the system.
• The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of
the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter-
measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided
to ensure safety in the system.
• When the 24-V DC output (service power supply) is overloaded or short-
circuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs being turned
OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures
must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
!Caution Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be
caused by extending the cycle time. Otherwise, the input signals may not be
readable.
!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before changing or transferring to
another node the contents of a program, the PLC Setup, I/O tables, or I/O
memory. Changing or transferring any of these without confirming safety may
result in unexpected equipment operation.
4 Operating Environment Precautions
!Caution Do not operate the control system in the following locations:
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications.
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tem-
perature.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, of chemicals (including acids).
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
!Caution The operating environment of the PLC System can have a large effect on the
longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can

Application Precautions 5
5 Application Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using a CompoNet Network.
• When more than one CompoNet system use Flat Cables, always sepa-
rate the Flat Cables from each other by at least 5 mm regardless of
whether Flat Cable I or II cables are used. Do not bundle the Flat Cables.
This is to prevent unstable operation of the system due to interference.
• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the
event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal
lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes.
• Interlock circuits, limit circuits, emergency stop circuits, and similar safety
measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable Controller)
must be provided by the customer.
• Always configure control circuits so that they turn ON power to the I/O
Slave Units before turning ON power to the PLC. If the PLC power supply
is turned ON first, normal operation will not be possible temporarily.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units. Any attempt to
do so may result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock.
• When installing the Unit, ground to 100 Ωmin.
• Make sure that all the Backplane mounting screws, Slave Unit mounting
screws, terminal block screws, and cable connector screws are tightened
to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect tightening torque
may result in malfunction.
• Wire all connections correctly according to instructions in this manual.
• Confirm the orientation and polarity before connecting terminal blocks or
connectors.
• Confirm voltage specifications before wiring communications lines, power
supplies, and I/O circuits. Incorrect specification may result in malfunc-
tions.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-cir-
cuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-cir-
cuiting may result in burning.
• Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may
result in malfunction if foreign matter enters the Unit.
• Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dis-
sipation. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in
burning.
• Double-check all wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power
supply. Incorrect wiring may result in burning.
• Make sure that the terminal blocks, connectors, expansion cables, com-
munications cables, and other items with locking devices are properly
locked into place. Improper locking may result in malfunction.
• Disconnect the functional ground terminal when performing withstand
voltage tests. Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result
in burning.
• Always use the power supply voltages specified in the operation manual.
An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.

6-2 Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices are designed so that they comply with the related EMC
Directives so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the over-
all machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC
Directives (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the stan-
dards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the
customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Direc-
tives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61000-6-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61000-6-4
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 V AC and 75
to 1,500 V DC meet the required safety standards for EN 61131-2.
