Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention
to safety to handle the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the
programmable controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: "WARNING" and "CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under "CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.

[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) Machine OPR (Original Point Return) is controlled by two kinds of data: an OPR direction and an
OPR speed. Deceleration starts when the near-point dog signal turns on. If an incorrect OPR
direction is set, motion control may continue without deceleration. To prevent machine damage
caused by this, configure an interlock circuit external to the programmable controller.
(3) When the positioning module detects an error, the motion slows down and stops or the motion
suddenly stops, depending on the stop group setting in parameter. Set the parameter according to
the positioning system specifications. In addition, set the OPR parameter and positioning data
within the parameter setting range.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off, or be undefined due to a failure of a component such as an
insulated element or transistor in an output circuit, where the CPU module cannot detect any
error. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals in a system where an incorrect
output could cause a serious accident.

[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Do not write any data to the "system area" of the buffer memory in the intelligent function module.
Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to the
intelligent function module.
Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.
● An absolute position restoration by the positioning function may turn off the servo-on signal (servo off)
for approximately 60ms + scan time, and the motor may run unexpectedly. If this causes a problem,
provide an electromagnetic brake to lock the motor during absolute position restoration.
[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.
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
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 provided with the CPU module or head module. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
● To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint levers
until they click. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
● Check the terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables correctly.
2
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use applicable solderless terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cables.
● Tighten the connector screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped with the tool specified by the manufacturer or must
be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them.
If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or
cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
● 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.
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.
3
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the connector screws. 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 (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail 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 testing the operation, set a low speed value for the speed limit parameter so that the operation
can be stopped immediately upon occurrence of a hazardous condition.
● Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the
static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
[Operating Precautions]
CAUTION
● When changing data and operating status, and modifying program of the running programmable
controller from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent function
module, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before operation. Incorrect change or
modification may cause system malfunction, damage to the machines, or accidents.
● Note that when the reference axis speed is specified for interpolation operation, the speed of the
partner axis (2nd, 3rd, or 4th axis) may be faster than the set speed (may exceed the speed limit).

1.1.3Mechanism of positioning control
Positioning control using the LD75 is carried out with "pulse signals". (The LD75 is a module that generates pulses).
In the positioning system using the LD75, various software and devices are used for the following roles.
The LD75 realizes complicated positioning control when it reads in various signals, parameters and data and is
controlled with the CPU module.

Feedback pulses
Speed = Pulses frequency
Movement amount = No.of pulses
Feedback pulses =
Pulses generated by detector
(1) Position control
The total No. of pulses required to move the designated distance is obtained in the following manner.
When this total No. of pulses is issued from the LD75 to the servo amplifier, control to move the designated
distance can be executed.
The machine side movement amount when one pulse is issued to the servo amplifier is called the "movement
amount per pulse". This value is the min. value for the workpiece to move, and is also the electrical positioning
precision.
(2) Speed control
The "Total No. of pulses" mentioned above is invariably required for controlling the distance. For positioning or
speed control, the speed must be controlled as well.
The speed is determined by the frequency of pulses sent from the LD75 to the drive unit.
The LD75 controls the position with the "total No. of pulses", and the speed with the "pulse frequency".
