[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured
external to the programmable controller.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration
Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
● Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the
network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used.
● If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
● To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against unauthorized access from
external devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against
unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.
2
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
● After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so
that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
● Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM undefined. The values need to be set in the
buffer memory and written to the flash ROM again. Doing so also may cause malfunction or failure of
the module.
● When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as the remote
RUN/STOP functions), select "Do Not Open by Program" for "Opening Method" of "Module
Parameter". If "Open by Program" is selected, an execution of the remote STOP function causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the line, and external
devices cannot execute the remote RUN function.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the Safety
Guidelines included with the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction,
or damage to or deterioration of the product.
● To mount a module, place the concave part(s) located at the bottom onto the guide(s) of the base unit,
and push in the module until the hook(s) located at the top snaps into place. Incorrect interconnection
may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
● When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module with
a screw.
● Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw,
short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, or malfunction.
● When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.
Check the connection for looseness. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the SD memory card slot. Check that it is inserted
completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Securely insert an extended SRAM cassette or a battery-less option cassette into the cassette
connector of the CPU module. After insertion, close the cassette cover and check that the cassette is
inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module, SD memory
card, extended SRAM cassette, battery-less option cassette, or connector. Doing so can cause
malfunction or failure of the module.
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● After installation and wiring, attach a blank cover module (RG60) to each empty slot and an included
extension connector protective cover to the unused extension cable connector before powering on the
system for operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
4
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
● Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables.
In addition, the weight of the cables may put stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations
and shocks.
Do not clamp the extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics
of the cables, resulting in malfunction.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
● Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat
dissipation before system operation.
● Programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the
power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a
power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of
protection against electric shock. For wiring, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
● For Ethernet cables to be used in the system, select the ones that meet the specifications in the user's
manual for the module used. If not, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.

WARNING
● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or
throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the
battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
● Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller. Failure to do so
may cause malfunction.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

■When module does not appear after search
If a connected Ethernet-equipped module does not appear in the list after searching the modules on the network, check the
following items.
• Search cannot be performed if it is disabled with the IP filter function.
• Modules connected via a router cannot be searched.
• If the module is connected via a wireless LAN, packet loss can prevent the Ethernet communication from stabilizing, and
may inhibit the module search.
• If there are modules with the same IP address in the list, review the IP address parameter settings for the Ethernetequipped module.
• If the service processing load of the search-target CPU module is high, it may not be possible to search for the
corresponding module. If the search cannot be performed, increase the response wait time in the search dialog, and
perform the search again.

Precautions
■Connection with LAN line
Do not connect with a LAN line and set direct connection. Data will be sent to all external devices on the LAN line, so this
setting will cause the line load to increase and will affect communication with other external devices.
■Connections that are not direct connections
• Do not use a configuration in which the Ethernet-equipped module and external device are connected with a hub. A direct
connection is not established when the devices are connected with a hub.
• When creating a network connection on the personal computer side, communication with a direct connection is not possible
if two or more Ethernet ports are set to "Enable". Review the personal computer settings so that only the Ethernet port for
the direct connection is set to "Enable", and the other Ethernet ports are set to "Disable".
■Settings incompatible with direct connection
When using the RJ71EN71 or the RnENCPU (network part), a direct connection cannot be established if the following setting
is made in the "Specify Connection Destination Connection" window of the engineering tool.
• When "Other Station (Co-existence Network)" is selected for "Other Station Setting"
• When "Other Station (Single Network)" is selected for "Other Station Setting", and "Other station in the same loop or access
to multilevel system" is selected in the "Network Communication Route Detailed Setting of Ethernet" window
■Functions incompatible with direct connection

1.2SLMP Communications
SLMP is a protocol used by external devices to access SLMP-compatible devices via the Ethernet.
SLMP communications are available among devices that can receive/send messages with the SLMP control procedure.
The Ethernet-equipped module processes and transfers data following instructions (command) from the external device, so
the programmable controller only needs the open/close processing and does not require a program for data communication.
For SLMP communications, refer to the following.
SLMP Reference Manual
Applications
This section describes the applications of SLMP communications.
Data read/write
Data read/write can be executed for the following data. With this, the external device can monitor the operation of the
Ethernet-equipped module, analyze data, and control production.
• Device or global label of the CPU module connected with the RJ71EN71 (When the Ethernet function of the RJ71EN71 or
the RnENCPU (network part) is used)
• Device or global label of the CPU module (When the Ethernet function of the CPU module (CPU part for the RnENCPU) is
used)
• Buffer memory of the intelligent function module
1
File read/write
Files such as parameter files stored in a CPU module can be read/written. Files in a CPU module can be managed on an
external device.
Remote control of a CPU module
A CPU module can be remotely controlled from the external device using remote operations.
Remote password lock/unlock
The remote password can be locked and unlocked from the external device.
Access to the programmable controller on another station via other network
In systems with CC-Link IE Controller Network, CC-Link IE Field Network, MELSECNET/H, MELSECNET/10 or Ethernet, the
programmable controller on another station can be accessed from the external device via the network. However, when
connecting the external device to the CPU module (built-in Ethernet port part), other stations cannot be accessed via network
such as CC-Link IE Controller Network and CC-Link IE Field Network.
Accessing to another station via the port 1 and port 2 of the RJ71EN71 is possible for the module with the
firmware version of "18" or later.

Response message
When a message is sent from the external device to the Ethernet-equipped module using the SLMP message format, the
Ethernet-equipped module executes a processing corresponding to the received message. During communication, the
Ethernet-equipped module functions as a server and the external device (terminals such as a personal computer) functions as
the client. The server (Ethernet-equipped module) automatically returns a response message suitable for the request
message received from the client.
(1) Server side: Ethernet-equipped module
(2) Client side: External device
Data communication procedures
This section describes the procedures for communicating with SLMP.
1. After the module parameters are set, the system checks that the initial processing of the Ethernet-equipped module has
3. After the connection is established, the SLMP messages are sent from the external device.
4. Close the connection when communication is finished.
In the following case, the Ethernet-equipped module performs a remote password check when the external
device is accessing the programmable controller. If communication is not possible, unlock the remote
password. ( Page 177 Access permit processing (Unlock processing))
• When remote password is set for the CPU module.
• When connection for exchanging data with external device is set as a remote password check target.
