[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.

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

● 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.

● 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.

● For the operating status of each EtherNet/IP device after a communication failure, refer to Page 110 TROUBLESHOOTING in this manual. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

● Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely even if communications fail in multiple EtherNet/IP devices. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

[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 and SD memory card undefined. The values need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card 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]

1 FUNCTIONS

• Listen Only is a connection for the target of which connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input Only that

is set for multicast communications is already opened. It can receive only multicast-type data sent to the

RJ71EIP91.

• The connection of Listen Only cannot be opened when the connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input

Only that is set for multicast communications is not opened.

• Even when communications are performed normally with the target that is opened using Listen Only, the

data receiving will be stopped if all the communications with other originators that are opened using the

connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input Only that is set for multicast communications.

Instance ID

The instance ID is a number that indicates an EtherNet/IP device and is specified when the EtherNet/IP communication

connection is established.

With settings from the RJ71EIP91, the instance ID is not specified. Instead, the connection number is specified to determine

the target.

Communication timing

Class1 instance communications are performed at the RPI interval set with the RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side.

The RPI can be set for each connection. Cyclic, Application Trigger, or Change of State can be selected for the communication trigger type. ( Page 79

Program Example of UCMM Message Communications

This section provides a program example using the client function of UCMM message communications.

System configuration example

The following system configuration is used to explain the program example of UCMM message communications.

System configuration

(1) Programmable controller system (scanner)

• Power supply module: R61P

• CPU module: R04CPU

• EtherNet/IP network interface module (client): RJ71EIP91 (start I/O number: 0000H to 001FH, IP address: 192.168.3.51)

(2) Programmable controller system (adapter)

• Power supply module: R61P

• CPU module: R04CPU

• EtherNet/IP network interface module (server): RJ71EIP91 (start I/O number: 0000H to 001FH, IP address: 192.168.3.2)

Communication content

The RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side is set to the client and the RJ71EIP91 on the adapter side is set to the server. Then,

command requests are sent from the client to the server.

Command requests use the buffer memory of the RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side to operate the program.

After receiving a command request, the server executes the command processing and returns a command response to the

client.
