could result in death or serious injury. Additionally, there may be
severe property damage.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or property damage.

13
Safety Precautions
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Warnings
During Power Supply
Do not touch the terminal section while power is ON.
Electric shock may occur.
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart.
In particular, high-voltage parts are present in Units that supply power while power is sup-
plied or immediately after power is turned OFF. Touching any of these parts may result in
electric shock. There are sharp parts inside the Unit that may cause injury.
Fail-safe Measures
Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality
occurs due to malfunction of the CPU Unit, Industrial PC, other Units, or slaves or due to
other external factors affecting operation.
Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures must
be provided in external control circuits.
The CPU Unit or Industrial PC will turn OFF all outputs from Output Units in the following
cases. The remote I/O slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
• If a power supply error occurs.
• If the power supply connection becomes faulty.
• If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs.
• If a Controller error in the major fault level occurs.
• While the CPU Unit is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is turned ON
External safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system in such
cases.
The outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or
destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external
safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.
If external power supplies for slaves or other devices are overloaded or short-circuited, the
voltage will drop, outputs will turn OFF, and the system may be unable to read inputs. Pro-
vide external safety measures in control with monitoring of external power supply voltage
as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.
You must take fail-safe measures to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or
abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other
causes.
Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.
WARNING

Safety Precautions
14 NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Voltage and Current Inputs
Make sure that the voltages and currents that are input to the Units and slaves are within
the specified ranges.
Inputting voltages or currents that are outside of the specified ranges may cause accidents
or fire.
Transferring
Always confirm safety at the destination node before you transfer Unit configuration infor-
mation, parameters, settings, or other data from tools such as the Sysmac Studio.
The devices or machines may operate unexpectedly, regardless of the operating mode of
the Controller.
Cautions
Wiring
When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Communications Coupler
Unit that has a non-isolated DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external
power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) or do not ground it at all.
If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply (i.e. Unit
power supply) may be short-circuited.
Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.
Be sure that all terminal screws and cable connector screws are tightened to the torque
specified in the relevant manuals. The loose screws may result in fire or malfunction.

Safety Precautions
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Online Editing
Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused by devia-
tions in the timing of I/O. If you perform online editing, the task execution time may exceed
the task period, I/O may not be refreshed with external devices, input signals may not be
read, and output timing may change.

Precautions for Safe Use
16 NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Precautions for Safe Use
• When transporting any Unit, use the special packing box for it.
Also, do not subject the Unit to excessive vibration or shock during transportation.
• Do not drop any Unit or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock.
Doing so may result in Unit malfunction or burning.
• Mount terminal blocks and connectors only after checking the mounting location carefully.
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, expansion cables, and other items with locking devices are properly
locked into place.
• Do not apply labels or tape to the Unit. When the Unit is installed or removed, adhesive or scraps
may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions.
• Do not touch the pins in the NX bus connector on the Unit. Dirt may adhere to the pins in the NX bus
connector, which may result in malfunctions.

Precautions for Safe Use
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
• Do not write on an NX Unit with ink within the restricted region that is shown in the following figure.
Also do not get this area dirty. When the Unit is installed or removed, ink or dirt may adhere to the
pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions in the CPU Rack or the Slave Termi-
nal.
Refer to the user’s manual for the connected CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit for the
restricted region of CPU Unit and Communications Coupler Unit.
• For the installation orientations in the following figure, support the cables, e.g., with a duct, so that the
End Plate on the bottom is not subjected to the weight of the cables. The weight of the cables may
cause the bottom End Plate to slide downward so that the Slave Terminal is no longer secured to the
DIN Track, which may result in malfunctions.

Precautions for Safe Use
18 NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
• Double-check all switches and other settings and double-check all wiring to make sure that they are
correct before turning ON the power supply.
Use the correct wiring parts and tools when you wire the system.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Also, do not place heavy
objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cable.
• When wiring or installing the Units, do not allow metal fragments to enter the Units.
• Do not press the flat-blade screwdriver straight into the release holes on a screwless clamping termi-
nal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.
• When you insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a release hole on a screwless clamping terminal block,
press it down with a force of 30N or less. Applying excessive force may damage the terminal block.
• Do not incline or twist the flat-blade screwdriver while it is in a release hole on a screwless clamping
terminal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring the M3 screw terminal blocks. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to the M3 screw terminal blocks.
• Use all Units within the I/O power supply ranges that are given in the specifications.
• Use the I/O power supply current for the CPU Rack of the NX-series NX1P2 CPU Unit at 4 A or less.
Using the currents that are outside of the specifications may cause failure or damage.
• Supply sufficient power according to the contents of this manual.
• Use the power supply voltage that is specified in this manual.
• Do not apply voltages that exceed the rated value to any Input Unit.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units or slaves in excess of the maximum rat-
ings.
• Inrush current occurs when the power supply is turned ON. When selecting fuses or breakers for
external circuits, consider their fusing and detection characteristics as well as the above precautions
and allow sufficient margin in shut-off performance.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting and overcurrents in
external wiring.
• When you set the Operating Mode at Startup, confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system.
