[Design Precautions]
!
DANGER
When there are communication problems with the data link, the data for the master module will
be held.
Configure an interlocking circuit in a sequence program so that the safety of the overall sy stem
is always maintained.
!
CAUTION
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or
install them close to each other.
They should be installed 100mm (3.9inch) or more from each other.
Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

[Installation Precautions]
!
CAUTION
Use the PLC in the environment that meets the general specifications contain ed in this Manual.
Using the PLC outside the range of the general specifications may result in electr ic shock, fire or
malfunction, or may damage or degrade the module.
Securely fix the module to a DIN rail or with mounting screws, and securely tighten the mounting
screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop or malfunction due to damage of the screws or module.
Do not touch the conducted area or electric parts of the module.
Doing so may cause module malfunctioning or breakdowns.
[Wiring Precautions]
!
CAUTION
Always switch power off externally in all phases before starting installation, w iring and other
works.
Not doing so can cause the product to be damaged or malfunction.
Always earth the FG and FG1 terminals to the protective earth conductor.
Not doing so can cause a malfunction.
Wire the module correctly after confirming the rated voltage and terminal layout of the product.

[Wiring Precautions]
!
CAUTION
When connecting the communication and power supply cables to the module, alway s run them
in conduits or clamp them.
Not doing so can damage the module and cables due to loose, moved or accidentally pulled
cables or can cause a malfunction due to a cable connection fault.
When disconnecting the communication and power supply cables from the module, do not hold
and pull the cable part.
Disconnect the cables after loosening the screws in the portions connected t o the module.
Pulling the cables connected to the module can damage the module and cables or can cause a
malfunction due to a cable connection fault.
[Starting and Maintenance Precautions]
!
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals while the power is on. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Always start cleaning or terminal screw retightening after switching power off externally in all
phases.
Not doing so can cause the module to fail or malfunction.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage of the screws or
module.
Never disassemble or modify the module.

You can choose the analog input range per channel to change the I/O conversion
characteristics.
(3) High resolution of 1/±4000
By changing the input range, you can choose and set the digital value resolution
to either 1/4000 or 1/±4000 (when the -10 to +10V range or user range setting 1
is selected) to p rov id e hi gh -re so lution digital value s.
(4) Designation of sampling processing or movi ng av erage pr ocessing
As a conversion method, you can specify sampling processing or moving
average processing per channel.

The I/O characteristics is the slope created by connecting the offset and gain values,
with a straight line when converting the analog signals (voltage or current input) from
an external source of the PLC to digital values.
The offset value is an analog input value (voltage or current) at which the digital output
value is 0.
The gain value is an analog input value (voltage or current) at which the digital output
value is 4000.

Perform A/D conversion of an analog input value one by one and store the result into
the remote register each time.
Average the digital output values of the specified count measured per sampling time.
Specify whether A/D conversion is enabled or disabled per channel.
By prohibiting the conversion for the channels which are not used, the sampling time
can be shortened.
