Safety measures
Operating environment
After installing the unit, make sure to use it within the range of the general
specifications:
 Ambient temperature: 0°C–+55°C
 Ambient humidity: 10%–95% RH (at 25°C, non-condensing)
 Pollution degree: 2
 Do not use the unit in the following environments:
 Direct sunlight
 Sudden temperature changes causing condensation
 Inflammable or corrosive gases
 Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or salts
 Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong
alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda
 Vibration, shock or direct drop of water
 Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment,
power cables, power equipment, radio transmitters, or any other
equipment that would generate high switching surges. Maintain at
least 100mm of space between these devices and the unit.
Static electricity
Before touching the unit or equipment, always touch some grounded metal
to discharge any static electricity you may have generated (especially in
dry locations). The discharge of static electricity can damage parts and
equipment.
Protection of power supply
 Use a twisted power supply wire.
 Insulate the wiring systems to the CPU, input/output devices, and me-
chanical power apparatus.
 An insulated power supply with an internal protective circuit should be
used (FP power supply). The power supply for the CPU is a
non-insulated circuit, so if an incorrect voltage is directly applied, the
internal circuit may be damaged or destroyed.

6 FP0R User's Manual
 If using a power supply device without an internal protective circuit,
always make sure power is supplied to the unit through a protective
element such as a fuse.
 Be sure to supply power to a CPU and an expansion unit from the same
power supply, and turn the power on and off simultaneously for both.
Power supply sequence
Make sure the power supply of the CPU turns off before the power supply
for input and output. If the power supply for input and output is turned off
first, the CPU will detect the input fluctuations and may begin an unex-
pected operation.
Before turning on the power
When turning on the power for the first time, be sure to take the precau-
tions given below.
 During installation, check that there are no scraps of wiring, particularly
conductive fragments, adhering to the unit.
 Verify that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring, and power supply volt-
age are all correct.
 Sufficiently tighten the installation and terminal screws.
 Set the operation mode selector to PROG mode.
Before entering a program
Be sure to clear any existing program before entering a new program.

Request concerning program storage
To prevent the accidental loss of programs, the user should consider the
following measures:
 Backing up programs: To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying
files, or overwriting the contents of a file, use the backup or export
P r o c e d u r e

FP0R User's Manual 7
functions of Control FPWIN Pro and store the files in a safe place. Addi-
tionally, you can print out the entire project documentation.
 Specifying passwords: The password setting is designed to avoid pro-
grams being accidentally overwritten. If the password is forgotten,
however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even if you
want to. Also, if a password is forcibly bypassed, the program is delet-
ed. Therefore, please note the password in a safe location.

Programming conventions
The programming examples in this manual are designed for Control FPWIN
Pro. For FPWIN GR examples, please refer to: FP0R User’s Manual
ARCT1F475E
Most of the sample programs were written in Ladder Diagram. In Control
FPWIN Pro, you can also program in Structured Text, Function Block Dia-
gram, Instruction List, and Sequential Function Chart. For examples in oth-
er programming languages, please refer to the Control FPWIN Pro Online
Help and the Programming Manual.
The abbreviations used in the examples signify the following:
 POU: Program Organization Unit
 DUT: Data Unit Type
 GVL: Global Variable List
These and other terms are explained in the Control FPWIN Pro Online Help
and Programming Manual.
To illustrate the use of positioning instructions, the chapter on high-speed
counters and pulse output contains numerous examples. Some of the sam-
ple programs can be opened directly in Control FPWIN Pro. The Control
FPWIN Pro projects in LD and ST code can be downloaded from the Pana-
sonic Web site
(http://www.panasonic-electric-works.com/eu/downloadcenter.htm).
