[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 the user's manual for the CPU module used and "General Safety Requirements"
in 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 over current 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. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a
communication failure may result in an accident.
● 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.
[Design Precautions]
Precautions when connected to AnyWireASLINK
WARNING
● The AnyWireASLINK system has no control function for ensuring safety.
[Design Precautions]
Precautions when connected to CC-Link
WARNING
● To set the automatic refresh parameter, specify the device Y for the remote output (RY) refresh
device.
If a device other than 'Y', such as 'M' and 'L', is specified, CPU module holds the device status as is
even after the module status is changed to STOP.
For the method for stopping a data link, refer to the user's manual for relevant CC-Link master/local
module.

[Design Precautions]
Precautions when connected to CC-Link IE Field Network
WARNING
● To set a refresh device in the network parameters, specify the device Y for the remote output (RY)
refresh device.
If a device other than 'Y', such as 'M' and 'L', is specified, CPU module holds the device status as is
even after the module status is changed to STOP.
[Design Precautions]
Precautions when connected to Ethernet
WARNING
● To prevent the malfunction of the programmable controller system due to harmful e-mails, take
preventive measures (such as antivirus measures) so that the mail server for Ethernet module does
not receive harmful e-mails.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● 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 do not 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 may cause malfunction or failure of
the module.
● When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as remote RUN/
STOP functions), select "Do Not Open in Program" for "Open Method Setting" in the module
parameters. If "Open in Program" is selected, an execution of remote STOP causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the communication line,
and the external device cannot execute the remote RUN.
