Warnings
WARNING
Disassembly and Dropping
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product in any way. Do-
ing so may result in malfunction or fire.
In particular, high-voltage parts are present in the Controller while power is
supplied or immediately after power is turned OFF. Touching any of these
parts may result in electric shock. There are also sharp internal parts that
may cause injury.
Installation
Always connect to a ground of 100 Ω or less when installing the product.
Ensure that installation and post-installation checks of the product are per-
formed by personnel in charge who possess a thorough understanding of
the machinery to be installed.
Fail-safe Measures
Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if
an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the product or due to other ex-
ternal factors affecting operation. Not doing so may result in serious acci-
dents 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 cas-
es. The slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
•If an error occurs in the power supply
•If a controller error occurs
•While the product is in Standby until EtherCAT communication is started
after the power is turned ON
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 sys-
tem 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 meas-
ures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.

Precautions for Safe Use
Disassembly, Dropping, Mounting, Installation and Storage
• Do not drop the product or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may result in product
malfunction or burning.
• When unpacking, check carefully for any external scratches or other damages. Also, shake the
product gently and check for any abnormal sound.
• Always use the devices specified in the relevant manual.
• The product must be installed in a control panel.
• Always install equipment that is included in the product specifications. Not doing so may result in
failure or malfunction.
• If the storage period exceeds 6 months, check the performance of the Fan Unit before production
starts.
• Install the product in the correct orientation and temperature according to the specifications in the
manual to prevent overheating. Not doing so may result in malfunction.
• When connecting peripheral devices to the product, ensure sufficient countermeasures against
noise and static electricity during installation of the peripheral devices.
Wiring
• Follow the instructions in the manual to correctly perform connector wiring and insertion. Double-
check all wiring and connector insertion before turning ON the power supply.
• Always ensure connectors, cables, PCIe Cards and Storage devices are completely locked in place
to prevent accidental disconnection.
• Before you connect a computer to the product, disconnect the power supply plug of the computer
from the AC outlet. Also, if the computer has an FG terminal, make the connections so that the FG
terminal has the same electrical potential as the product. A difference in electrical potential between
the computer and the product may cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not bend or pull the cables beyond normal limit. Do not place heavy objects on top of the cables
or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cables.
• Always use power supply wires with sufficient wire diameters to prevent voltage drop and burning.
Make sure that the current capacity of the wire is sufficient. Otherwise, excessive heat may be gen-
erated. When cross-wiring terminals, the total current for all the terminals will flow in the wire. When
wiring cross-overs, make sure that the current capacity of each of the wires is not exceeded.
• Be sure that all mounting bracket screws and cable connector screws are tightened to the torque
specified in the relevant manuals. The loose screws may result in fire or malfunction.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring.
• For an NY Monitor Link connection, always follow the cable type and connection method specifica-
tions in the manual. Otherwise, communications may be faulty.
Power Supply Design and Turning ON/OFF the Power Supply
• Always use a power supply that provides power within the rated range.
• Do not perform a dielectric strength test.
Precautions for Safe Use
16 NY-series IPC Programmable Multi Axis Controller Hardware User's Manual (W580)

• Always use the recommended uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent data loss and other
system file integrity issues caused by unexpected power interruption. Back up the system files in the
planned way to prevent data loss and other system file integrity issues caused by incorrect opera-
tion.
• Use an Omron S8BA UPS with the correct revision number to prevent improper system shutdown.
•Power ON after the DVI cable is connected between the product and an external monitor.
• Always check the power supply and power connections before applying power. Incorrect power con-
nections can damage the product or cause burning.
• Always turn OFF the power supply to system before you attempt any of the following.
• Inserting or removing PCIe Cards
• Connecting cables
• Connecting or disconnecting the connectors
• Wiring the system
• Replacing or removing the HDD/SSD
• Replacing the Battery
• Replacing the Fan Unit
• Do not turn off the power supply or remove the USB memory device while the Controller is access-
ing the USB memory device. Data may become corrupted, and the Controller will not operate cor-
rectly if it uses corrupted data.
• Always turn OFF the power supply before you attempt any of the following. Connecting cables or
wiring the system Connecting or disconnecting the connectors.
• Do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to the Controller when downloading data
or programs from Support Software. Doing so interrupts the data transfer, and a malfunction may
occur.
Actual Operation
• Choose a OS password that is not obvious to prevent unauthorized access.
•Remember the OS user name and password. The product is inaccessible without it.
•Before operating the system , please make sure the appropriate software is installed and config-
ured. Doing so may prevent unexpected operation.
• Install all updates and ensure the browser stays up-to-date.
• Install all updates and ensure the firewall stays up-to-date.
• Make sure that your OS environment is protected against malicious software and viruses.
• Install all updates and ensure virus definitions stay up-to-date.
• Do not remove the fan cover while the power is ON. Contact with a rotating fan may result in injury.
• Virtual memory settings can affect the performance of the system. Disable the paging file after in-
stallation of applications or updates.
• Correctly perform wiring and setting, and ensure that the shutdown by the UPS can be executed.
• The task execution times in the physical Controller depends on load of operating system applica-
tions. Before starting actual operation, you must test performance under all foreseeable conditions
on the actual system.
Operation
• Do not carry out the following operations when accessing a USB device or an SD Memory Card.
•Turn OFF the power supply of the product.
Precautions for Safe Use

• Press the Power Button of the product.
• Remove a USB device or SD memory card.
•Do not attempt to remove or touch the fan unit while the product is powered ON or immediately after
the power supply is turned OFF. If you attempt to replace the fan unit then, there is a risk of personal
injury due to hot or rotating parts.
• Press the power button for several seconds to force the product shutdown. Always back up files in
the planned way to prevent data loss or system file corruption.
• Do not touch any product housing when power is being supplied or immediately after the power sup-
ply is turned OFF. Doing so may result in burn injury.
• Confirm that no adverse effects will occur in the system before you attempt any of the following.
• Changing the operating mode of the Controller (including changing the setting of the Startup
Mode).
• Changing the user program or settings.
• Changing set values or present values.
General Communications
• Separate the machine network segment from the office network to avoid communication failures.
Battery Replacement
• Dispose of any Battery that has been dropped on the floor or otherwise subjected to excessive
shock. Batteries that have been subjected to shock may leak if they are used.
•UL standards require that only an experienced engineer replace the Battery. Make sure that an ex-
perienced engineer is in charge of Battery replacement.
•The Battery may leak, rupture, heat, or ignite. Never short-circuit, charge, disassemble, heat, or in-
cinerate the Battery or subject it to strong shock.
EtherCAT Communications
• Make sure that the communications distance, number of nodes connected, and method of connec-
tion for EtherCAT are within specifications. Do not connect EtherCAT communications to a standard
in-house LAN, or other net-works. An overload may cause the network to fail or malfunction.
• If noise occurs or an EtherCAT slave is disconnected from the network, any current communications
frames may be lost. If frames are lost, slave I/O data is not communicated, and unintended opera-
tion may occur. The slave outputs will behave according to the slave specifications.
• EtherCAT communications are not always established immediately after the power supply is turned
ON. Use the ECAT Network General Configuration Elements in the user program to confirm that
communications are established before attempting control operations.
• When an EtherCAT slave is disconnected or disabled, communications will stop and control of the
outputs will be lost not only for the disconnected slave, but for all slaves connected after it. Confirm
that the system will not be adversely affected before you disconnect or disable a slave.
• You cannot use standard Ethernet hubs or repeater hubs with EtherCAT communications. If you use
one of these, a major fault level error or other error may occur.
• If you need to disconnect the cable from an EtherCAT slave during operation, change to Init Status
the EtherCAT slave and all of the EtherCAT slaves that are connected after it.
