1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS

Reference

• Make sure to include the f ollowing safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe system op eration even during external power supply problems o r PLC failure. Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serio u s ac cid ents.

1) Above all, the following components should be included: 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 ).

2) Note that when the PLC main unit de tects an error during self diagnosis , such as a watchdog timer error, all

outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC main unit occurs in an input/ output control block, output control may be disabled. External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such cases.

• Observe the following items. Fai lure t o do so may c ause incor rect data- writi ng th roug h nois e to the PLC and result in PLC failure, machine damage or other accident.

1) Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the

control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line. Noise may cause malfunctions.

2) Ground the shield wire or shield of a shielded cable. Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical

systems

• During access (ACCESS LED is lit or flickering) to CompactFlash or power off the FX

Failure to do so may cause CompactFlash

• If the power is turned OFF while the CompactFlash buffered data is erased. Als o files or CompactFlashTM card itself may be damaged. Do not turn the power OFF

while the ACCESS LED is lit or flickering.

• Do not apply excessive pressure to the power supply cable or power supply connector. Excessive pressure may cause damage or error.

Caution to conform with EC Directives

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

• Control cabinet

- The control cabinet must be conductive.

- Ground the control cabinet with the thickest possible grounding cable.

- To ensure that there is electric contact between the control cabinet and its door, connect the cabinet and

its doors with thick wires.

- In order to suppress the leakage of radio waves, the control cabinet structure must have minimal

openings. Also, wrap the cable holes with a shielding cover or other shielding devices.

- The gap between the control cabinet and its door must be as small as possible by attaching EMI gaskets

between them.

1) Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at

least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line. Noise may cause malfunctions.

2) Ground the shield wire or shield of a shielded cable. Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems

• During access (ACCESS LED is l it or fli ckering) to Compac tFlashTM card, do not remove the CompactFlashTM card or power off the CF-ADP.

Failure to do so may cause CompactFlashTM card failures or malfunctions.

• If the power is turned OFF wh ile the Compa ctFlashTM card is being accessed (ACCE SS LED is lit or flicke ring), the buffere d data is erased. Also files or CompactFlashTM card itself may be damaged. Do not turn the power OFF while the ACCESS LED is lit or

flickering.

• Do not apply excessive pressu re to the power supply cable or power supply connector. Excessive pressure may cause da mage or error.

DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS

• Please contact a certified el ectronic waste disposal company for the environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your devi ce.

TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS

• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger than those specified in the general specifications of the PLC main unit manual. Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC. After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.
