Safety Precautions

General Cautions

• Do not use this product for the purpose of protecting the human body or any part thereof.

• Because this product was not designed for use in an explosion-proof area, it must never be used in an explosionproof area.

• Before starting or operating the system, check to make sure all system functions are working properly.

• If any Keyence product fails, take all safety precautions to prevent damage before using the system again.

• If the system is operated beyond its published specifications or if the system is modified, its functions and performance cannot be guaranteed.

• Please note that when the system is used in combination with other instruments, its functions and performance may be degraded.

• Do not subject the controller or connected devices to a sudden change in temperature. There is the risk of condensation occurring.

General cautions for the controller

• Do not use with any power voltage other than 24 VDC. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.

• Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock.

Operating environment and conditions

• To use the system properly and safely, avoid installing this unit in the following locations. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.

– Locations that contain moisture or dust, or that are

poorly ventilated.

– Locations where the system is exposed to direct

sunlight or temperature increases.

– Locations where there are flammable or corrosive

gases.

– Locations where the unit may be directly subjected to

vibration or impact.

– Locations where water, oil or chemicals may splash

onto the unit.

– Locations where static electricity is present or electric

discharge may occur.

Usage

• Before making any connections/disconnections, be sure to turn off the power of this unit and connected devices. Failure to do so may result in a malfunction of the controller or connected devices.

• Do not turn the power off while you are programming. Otherwise, all or part of the program settings may be lost.

• Do not block the ventilation holes. Otherwise, the inside temperature may rise and a malfunction may occur.

• Do not allow an excessive amount of sunlight or bright indoor light to enter the camera for a long period of time. Doing so may cause damage to the image capture surface inside the camera.

Maintenance

• Do not clean with benzene, thinner, or alcohol. Doing so may

NOTICE

cause discoloration or deformation of the unit.

• If the unit has any dirt on it, wipe it off with a cloth moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

햲 Parallel I/O connector

Use to connect the parallel input/output signals.

햳 SD2 slot (upper), SD1 slot (lower)

Insert an SD card. The lower slot (SD1) holds the included SD Card (512 MB or 1 GB) by factory default.

Installing the Controller Unit

Install the controller unit to DIN rail, or use the holes on the bottom of the controller to secure it with screws.

• Do not install the controller in a location with lots of dust or water vapor. The controller does not have a mechanism to protect it from dust or water. Dust or water entering the controller can cause damage to the controller.

• Turn off the power to the controller when connecting or

NOTICE

Caution on Direction of Controller Mounting

• Install the controller in the direction indicated by the circle shown below. Do not install the controller in any other direction.

removing an expansion unit, a cable, or a terminal block. Connecting or removing the camera expansion unit, the cable, or the terminal block while the power is being supplied may damage the controller or peripheral devices.

• When an expansion unit is not connected, place the connector protection cover back on the controller. Using the controller with the connector exposed may cause damage to the controller.

Important

SD Card 1 must be inserted while the device is operating.

햴USB connector for dedicated mouse

Use to connect the included dedicated mouse.

The USB port for the mouse of this device is used exclusively for the dedicated mouse (OP-87506). If other equipment including a commercial USB mouse is connected, it can cause malfunction or damage of this device or the connecting device.

햵 RGB output terminal

Use to connect to an external monitor.

햶 CAM2 connector

Use to connect camera 2.

햷 Expansion unit connector 1 (right side, only for CV-X150/X170)

Use to connect the camera expansion unit CV-E500.

햸 RS-232C connector

Use to connect to the RS-232C communication cable (OP-26487: 2.5 m, sold separately).

햹 CAM1 connector

Use to connect camera 1.

햺 ETHERNET connector

• For ventilation, keep the space free of objects for 50 mm or more above the controller and 50 mm or more for both sides. Keep the space free of objects for 90 mm or more in the front of the connector panel in order to connect the cables safely.

• When two or more controllers are installed side by side, maintain 50 mm or more of space between the controllers, and 50 mm or more above both controllers.

• Do not block the ventilation openings on the top and bottom of the controller. If the vents are blocked, heat will accumulate inside the controller and can cause a system failure.

• When installing the controller on a surface, pierce holes in the surface at the positions of the ventilation openings on the bottom of the controller or perform similar operations to ensure that there is ventilation from the bottom of the controller to the top.

• If the temperature inside the control panel (temperature at the bottom of the controller) exceeds the rating, use forced air-cooling or increase the free space around the system to improve ventilation until the operating ambient temperature decreases below the rating.
