SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
minor or moderate injury or property damage.

(Read these precautions before using this product.)

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.

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

● When a communication failure occurs in the network, data in the master module are held. Check Data
link status (each station) (SW00B0 to SW00B7) and configure an interlock circuit in the program to
ensure that the entire system will operate safely.

● When the module is disconnected due to a communication failure in the network or the CPU module is
in the STOP status, all outputs are held or turned off according to the parameter setting.
Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate
safely even in such a case. If not, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

● Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of the module. Configure an external circuit for
monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.

● Do not use any "use prohibited" signals as a remote input or output signal. These signals are reserved
for system use. Do not write any data to the "use prohibited" areas in the remote register. If these
operations are performed, an accident may occur 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.

[Installation Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the load 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 module in an environment that meets the general specifications in this manual. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.

● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.

● Securely fix the module with mounting screws. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail due to
increasing effects of vibrations.

● Securely connect the cable connectors. Poor contact may cause malfunction.

● After the first use of the product, do not connect/remove the connector more than 50 times (IEC

61131-2 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

3

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

● Individually ground the FG metal fitting of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100
ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.

● Check the rated voltage and terminal 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 a fire
or failure.

● Tighten the waterproof caps within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short
circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the waterproof cap, resulting in short circuit or
malfunction.

● The module meets IP67 only when all of the waterproof plugs and waterproof caps are attached and
the cover of the station number setting switch is securely fixed with a screw.

● Do not connect a communication cable to an I/O connector instead of to a communication connector.
Both connectors are the same in form. Connecting the cable to a wrong connector may cause the
module to fail or malfunction.

● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, 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.

● 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.

● 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.

● When an overcurrent caused by an error of an external device or a failure of the programmable
controller flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external
safety circuit, such as a fuse.

● Wiring and replacement of a module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with
knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to "INSTALLATION AND
WIRING" in this manual.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

WARNING

● Do not touch any connector while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.

● Shut off the load power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or

retightening screws or connector screws. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION

● Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.

● Do not drop or apply strong shock to the module. Doing so may damage the module.

● Shut off the load 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, do not connect/remove the connectors more than 50 times (IEC
61131-2 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

● Before handling the module or connection cables, 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.

● Startup and maintenance of a control panel must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel
with knowledge of protection against electric shock. Lock the control panel so that only qualified

The processing time of the remote device station (input) is the time period for internal processing of the

remote device station (input). The value of the processing time of the remote device station (input) is used in

the calculation for the delay time of the cyclic transmission from the remote device station (input) to the master

station (RX/RWr). Calculate the processing time of the remote device station (input) by the following formula.

• The processing time of the remote device station (input) = The input response time + The internal

processing time (0.2ms)

For the delay time of the cyclic transmission from the remote device station (input) to the master station (RX/

RWr), refer to the following.

The processing time of the remote device station (output) is the time period for internal processing of the

remote device station (output). The value of the processing time of the remote device station (output) is used

in the calculation for the delay time of the cyclic transmission from the master station (RY/RWw) to the remote

device station (output). Calculate the processing time of the remote device station (output) by the following

formula.

• The processing time of the remote device station (output) = The output response time (1.5ms) + The

internal processing time (0.2ms) = 1.7ms

For the delay time of the cyclic transmission from the master station (RY/RWw) to the remote device station

(output), refer to the following.

3.6 List of Remote Buffer Memory

• Do not access the system area using the REMFR or REMTO instruction. Doing so may lead the module to

malfunction.

• Do not use the dedicated instruction of the REMFR and REMTO instructions to the areas later than the

above areas. If these instructions are used, the error code (0202H) is stored in Warning code (RWr2),

Warning status flag (RWr0.b12) turns on, and the ERR. LED flashes.

Parameter area (address: 0000H to 04FFH)

For the parameter area, parameters can be set by means of the CC IE Field configuration of the engineering tool, or the

REMTO instruction.

The parameter in the parameter area is backed up to the nonvolatile memory.

However, Fast logic setting Y (address: 0120H to 0127H) is not backed up. The parameter backed up to the nonvolatile

memory is read to the parameter area when the module power supply is turned off and on or the module returns from remote

reset.

For the parameters written from the parameter settings of the CC IE Field configuration of the engineering tool, the write to the

non-volatile memory is also completed at the same time. When the parameter is written using the REMTO instruction, it is

written to the nonvolatile memory when Operation condition setting request flag (RWw0.b9) is turned on. At this time, the

parameter is written to the nonvolatile memory even though it is incorrect. When the power supply is turned off and on with an

incorrect parameter written, the incorrect parameter is read from the nonvolatile memory and an error code is stored to Error
code (RWr1). Take corrective action according to the error code list. (Page 124 Error Code List)

6.4 Wiring the Power Supply

When wiring the power supply, wire the POWER IN terminal and the power supply connector of the I/O module.

Transition wiring of the power supply

When installing multiple I/O modules, the power can be supplied to the modules through transition wiring.

For transition wiring, connect wires between the POWER OUT terminal of the I/O module that will be the power supplier and

the POWER IN terminal of another I/O module that will be a power supply destination.

*1 The largest current flows from the power supplier to the power supply connector of the first I/O module. Make sure that the current does

not exceed the current capacity (8A/pin) of the power supply connector. For a power supply to supply 24VDC, use a power supply (SELV
power supply) that does not exceed 30VAC (effective value), 42.4V (peak value), or 60VDC. Also, use a power supply which is applied
to "limited-energy circuit" defined in IEC61010-1.

damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.

• Do not touch the core of the connector of the cable or the module, and protect it from dirt and dust. If any oil from your hand,

or any dirt or dust sticks to the core, it can increase transmission loss, causing data link to fail.

• Check the following:

• Is any Ethernet cable disconnected?

• Does any Ethernet cable short?

• Are the connectors securely connected?

6

■Connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable

Hold the connector part when connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable. Pulling the cable connected to the module

may result in damage to the module or cable or malfunction due to poor contact.

■Connectors without Ethernet cable

To prevent dust from entering the module, attach the provided waterproof caps.

■Maximum station-to-station distance (Maximum Ethernet cable length)

The maximum station-to-station distance is 100m. However, the distance may be shorter depending on the operating

environment of the cable. For details, contact the manufacturer of the cables used.

■Bending radius of the Ethernet cable

procedure of the master station, refer to the following.
 User's manual for the master/local module used

Precautions

■Precautions before parameter settings

For the precautions before parameter settings, refer to the following.

 GX Works3 Operating Manual
 GX Works2 Version 1 Operating Manual (Common)

■Precautions for parameter settings

• When using the I/O module, always enable the block data assurance per station. When it is disabled, correct operation of

the I/O module cannot be guaranteed. For details on the block data assurance per station, refer to the following: User's

manual for the master/local module used.

• Do not set the parameter using the CCPASET instruction in the master station. Correct operation of the I/O module cannot

be guaranteed because the module operates with the block data assurance per station disabled when the CCPASET

instruction is executed. (The CCPASET instruction is intended to configure parameters for a master/local module. For

details on the CCPASET instruction, refer to the user's manual for the master/local module used.)

• When the number of points of remote I/O signals and remote registers is set to less than that of the I/O module has, no

error occurs. The cyclic transmission is performed for the data of the points set from the start.

8.8 Power Supply Monitoring Function

This function monitors the voltage status of each of the module-and-sensor power supply and load power supply and notifies

users of the status with the PW LED and L PW LED.

By using Power supply monitor request flag (RWw3.b0), a moderate error is generated when the power supply is off. Thus,

the on/off state of the power supply is notified and the output module can be stopped.

Enabling the power supply monitoring function is recommended because operating the module with the power

supply voltage unstable may cause incorrect input or output.

Operation of the power supply monitoring function

When an error occurs on the module-and-sensor power supply or load power supply while the Power supply monitor request

flag (RWw3.b0) is on, a moderate error occurs. The following table lists errors of each power supply and bits to be turned on.

This function detects a short circuit in each of input ports and output channels.

Short-circuit detection on each input port

A short circuit of the sensor power supply is detected in each of input ports.

■Operation overview

A short circuit is detected when the sensor power supply current exceeds the judgment value. Since a supply current is

shared with two sensor power supplies in a port, a short-circuit in either one or both of the two sensor power supplies is

detected. The current flowing through the sensor power supply of the port where a short circuit has been detected stops.

■Judgment value for short-circuit detection

A supply current to a set of two sensor power supplies (total current of the two sensor power supplies) is 400mA or more.

■Notification of a detected short-circuit

When a short circuit is detected in a set of two sensor power supplies, the following operation is performed.

• The LEDs of the two sensor power supplies in the port turn on in red.

Program

I/O module

This function sets whether the initial processing using the program is necessary or not when the data link is established. The

function enables the I/O module to operate (enabling the update of external I/O) with the program for initial processing not

being set.

Operations of when the initial operation setting function is used

The operations of when the initial operation setting function is used vary depending on the setting value of "Initial operation

setting". When setting parameters using Initial processing request flag (RWr0.b8) as an interlock as shown in the program

example, set "Initial operation setting" to "0: with initial processing".

For program examples of initial processing, refer to the following.
Page 116 Program example

■When "0: With initial processing" is set

When the data link is established, Initial processing request flag (RWr0.b8) turns on.

When Initial processing completion flag (RWw0.b8) is turned on, Initial processing request flag (RWr0.b8) turns off and

Remote READY (RWr0.b11) turns on.

The external I/O function of the I/O module cannot be used until initial processing is completed.
