1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS

Reference

•Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC failure.

Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.

1)Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for

		opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the
		equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).			51
	2)	Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs
					64
		are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control
					74
		block, output control may be disabled.
					108
		External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
					118
	3)	If an overload of the 24 V DC service power supply occurs, the voltage automatically drops, inputs in the PLC
		are disabled, and all outputs are turned off.
		External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
	4)	Note that when an error occurs in a relay or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or off.
		For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to
		ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
					Reference
	• Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the				51

FX3S Series Programmable Controllers
User's Manual - Hardware Edition	Standards

Caution for compliance with EC Directive

1.Installation in Enclosure

Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and used within conductive control boxes. Please use the FX3S Series programmable logic controllers while installed in conductive shielded control boxes. Please secure the control box lid to the control box (for conduction). Installation within a control box greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the programmable logic controller.

2.Caution for Analog Products in use

The analog products have been found to be compliant to the European standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best performance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output devices, Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;

As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), these users should follow those manufacturers' installation requirements.

Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If NO other EMC protection is provided, users may experience temporary loss or accuracy between +10% / -10% in very heavy industrial areas.

However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that if adequate EMC precautions are followed for the users complete control system.

-Sensitive analog cables should not be laid in the same trunking or cable conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible, users should run analog cables separately.

-Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth - ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.

-When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved by averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the analog product or through a user's program in the FX3S Series PLC main unit.
