Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnor-
mality occurs due to malfunction of the product or due to other external factors affecting
operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuit, limit circuits, and similar safety measures must
be provided in external control circuits.
The product will turn OFF all outputs from Output Units in the following cases. The
slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
•If an error occurs in the power supply
•If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs
•If a major fault level Controller error occurs
•While the product is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is turned
ON
•If a system initialization error occurs
External safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system in
such cases.
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.
Provide external safety measures in controls with monitoring of external power supply
voltage as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.
Unintended behavior may occur when an error occurs in internal memory of the product.
As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to
ensure safe operation of the system.
Safety Precautions

NY-series Industrial Panel PC Machine Controller Hardware User's Manual (W557)

Provide measures in the communications system and user program to ensure safety in
the overall system even if errors or malfunctions occur in data link communications or re-
mote I/O communications.
If there is interference in remote I/O communications or if a major fault level error occurs,
output status will depend on the products that are used. Confirm the operation that will
occur when there is interference in communications or a major fault level error, and im-
plement safety measures. Adjust all of the settings in the slaves and Units.
The use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) allows normal operation to continue
even if a momentary power failure occurs, possibly resulting in the reception of an erro-
neous signal from an external device affected by the momentary power failure. Take ex-
ternal fail-safe measures. Where necessary, monitor the power supply voltage on the
system for external devices and use it as an interlock condition.
Do not use the input functions of the touchscreen in applications that involve human life,
in applications that may result in serious injury, or for emergency stop switches.
Downloading
Always confirm safety at the destination before you transfer a user program, configura-
tion data, setup data, or device variables from the Sysmac Studio. The devices or ma-
chines may perform unexpected operation regardless of the operating mode of the prod-
uct.
Actual Operation
Check the user program, data, and parameter settings for proper execution before you
use them for actual operation.
Security setting adjustments should only be performed by the engineer in charge that
possesses a thorough understanding of the security settings. Selecting non-recommend-
ed security settings can put your system at risk.
Changing BIOS information is only allowed for the engineer in charge that possesses a
thorough understanding of the BIOS settings because it can change the behavior of the
product.
Water or other liquid present on the touchscreen surface may create false touch behavior
and unexpected operation. Wipe away the liquid on the touchscreen before operation.
