- Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas and
ammonia gas).
- Places subject to intense temperature change.
- Places subject to icing and condensation.
- Places subject to vibration and large shocks.
• Installing two or more controllers in close proximity might lead to increased
internal temperature and this might shorten the life cycle of electronic
components. It is strongly recommended to install cooling fans or other
air-conditioning devices inside the control cabinet.
• Always check the terminal names and polarity and be sure to wire properly.
Do not wire the terminals that are not used.
• To avoid inductive noise, keep the controller wiring away from power
cables that carry high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power
lines together with or parallel to Digital Controller wiring. Using shielded
cables and using separate conduits or ducts is recommended. Attach a
surge suppressor or noise filter to peripheral devices that generate noise
(in particular motors, transformers, solenoids, magnetic coils or other
equipment that have an inductance component). When a noise filter is used
at the power supply, first check the voltage or current, and attach the noise
filter as close as possible to the Digital Controller. Allow as much space as
possible between the Digital Controller and devices that generate powerful
high frequencies (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing
machines, etc.) or surge.
• A switch or circuit breaker must be provided close to device. The switch
or circuit breaker must be within easy reach of the operator, and must be
marked as a disconnecting means for the controller.
• The device must be protected by a fuse 5A (cl. 9.6.2).
• Wipe off any dirt from the Digital Controller with a soft dry cloth. Never

8 - PL500-PL600-PL700 - User manual
use thinners, benzine, alcohol, or any cleaners that contain these or other
organic solvents. Deformation or discoloration may occur.
• The number of non-volatile memory write operations is limited. Therefore,
use EEprom write mode when frequently overwriting data, e.g.: through
communications.
1.4 Environmental policy / WEEE
Do not dispose electric tools together with household waste material.
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric
tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and
returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

4.1 Mounting sequence of the PLC and of the PLE500
expansion modules
The PLC with the relevant I/O modules requires mounting and connection via
the specific bus lodged in the hollow of the DIN rail. The I/O modules (series
PLE500-xAD) will be automatically numbered at each power-on, assigning the
number 1 to the first I/O module connected to the right of the PLC, the number
2 to the following one and so on, always moving towards the right side. The
position of the various modules shall thus reflect the sequence set in the
LogicLab project in the definition of the PLCEXP network. For the numbering
procedure to work correctly, it is not permitted to remove devices from the
network by releasing them from their own bus and leaving some empty modules
(bus slots) between one module and another. All connection/disconnection
operations must be carried out with power off.
Clik!
Couple all the buses by pushing them
towards the DIN rail, making sure that
the male connection faces left and the
female one faces right.
Couple the buses together by sliding
them along the DIN rail.
Insert the various modules in the slots
of the buses starting from the PLC and
continuing to the right with the I/O
modules.

5 Electric connections
This regulator was designed and built in compliance with the Low Voltage
Directives 2006/95/CE, 2014/35/EU (LVD) and the Electromagnetic compatibility
Directives 2004/108/EC and 2014/30/EU (EMC). For installation in industrial
environments it is a good rule to follow the precautions below:
• Distinguish the power supply line from the power lines.
• Avoid proximity with contactor units, electromagnetic contactors, high
power motors and use filters in any event.
• Avoid proximity with power units, particularly if with phase control.
• The use of network filters is recommended on the power supply of the
machine in which the instrument will be installed, particular in case of
230Vac power supply.
The regulator is devised to be assembled with other machines. Therefore,
the EC marking of the regulator does not exempt the manufacturer of the
system from the safety and conformity obligations imposed for the machine
as a whole.
