CPU to the intelligent function module.
Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.
[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.
● At power-on, a voltage may occur or a current may flow between output terminals for a moment. In
this case, start the control after analog outputs become stable.
● Power on or off the external power supply while the programmable controller is on. Failure to do so
may result in incorrect output or malfunction.

[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Mitsubishi 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 methods, refer to the MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design,
Maintenance and Inspection).
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
WARNING
● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
● Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal block screw. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before connecting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● Tighten the terminal block screw within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop
of the component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or
module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
● After the first use of the product (module, display unit, and terminal block), the number of
connections/disconnections is limited to 50 times (in accordance with IEC 61131-2). Exceeding the
limit may cause malfunction.
● Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the
