For Safe Operations
1. Prevention of electric shocks
DANGER
Never open the front case or terminal covers while the power is ON or the unit is running, as this
may lead to electric shocks.
Never run the unit with the front case or terminal cover removed. The high voltage terminal and
charged sections will be exposed and may lead to electric shocks.
Never open the front case or terminal cover at times other than wiring work or periodic
inspections even if the power is OFF. The insides of the Motion controller and servo amplifier are
charged and may lead to electric shocks.
Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system before mounting or
removing the module, performing wiring work, or inspections. Failing to do so may lead to electric
shocks.
When performing wiring work or inspections, turn the power OFF, wait at least ten minutes, and
then check the voltage with a tester, etc.. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks.
Be sure to ground the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. (Ground resistance : 100
or less) Do not ground commonly with other devices.
The wiring work and inspections must be done by a qualified technician.
Wire the units after installing the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. Failing to do
so may lead to electric shocks or damage.
Never operate the switches with wet hands, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this
may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the Motion controller, servo amplifier or servomotor terminal blocks while the power
is ON, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the built-in power supply, built-in grounding or signal wires of the Motion controller
and servo amplifier, as this may lead to electric shocks.
2. For fire prevention
CAUTION
Install the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor on
incombustible. Installing them directly or close to combustibles will lead to fire.
If a fault occurs in the Motion controller or servo amplifier, shut the power OFF at the servo
amplifier’s power source. If a large current continues to flow, fire may occur.
When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative
resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative transistor, etc., and may lead
to fire.
Always take heat measures such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where the
servo amplifier or regenerative resistor is installed and for the wires used. Failing to do so may
lead to fire.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this
may lead to fire.

3. For injury prevention
CAUTION
Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal.
Doing so may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not mistake the terminal connections, as this may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not touch the heat radiating fins of controller or servo amplifier, regenerative resistor and
servomotor, etc., while the power is ON and for a short time after the power is turned OFF. In this
timing, these parts become very hot and may lead to burns.
Always turn the power OFF before touching the servomotor shaft or coupled machines, as these
parts may lead to injuries.
Do not go near the machine during test operations or during operations such as teaching.
Doing so may lead to injuries.
4. Various precautions
Strictly observe the following precautions.
Mistaken handling of the unit may lead to faults, injuries or electric shocks.

CAUTION
Always install a leakage breaker on the Motion controller and servo amplifier power source.
If installation of an electromagnetic contactor for power shut off during an error, etc., is specified
in the instruction manual for the servo amplifier, etc., always install the electromagnetic contactor.
Install the emergency stop circuit externally so that the operation can be stopped immediately and
the power shut off.
Use the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor with the correct
combinations listed in the instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to fire or faults.
Use the Motion controller, base unit and motion module with the correct combinations listed in the
instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to faults.
If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc.,) apply to the system using the Motion controller,
servo amplifier and servomotor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied.
Construct a safety circuit externally of the Motion controller or servo amplifier if the abnormal
operation of the Motion controller or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive operation in the
system.
In systems where coasting of the servomotor will be a problem during the forced stop, emergency
stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use dynamic brakes.
Make sure that the system considers the coasting amount even when using dynamic brakes.
In systems where perpendicular shaft dropping may be a problem during the forced stop,
emergency stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use both dynamic brakes and electromagnetic
brakes.
A - 3
CAUTION
The dynamic brakes must be used only on errors that cause the forced stop, emergency stop, or
servo OFF. These brakes must not be used for normal braking.
The brakes (electromagnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications,
and must not be used for normal braking.
The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the
stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed.
Use wires and cables that have a wire diameter, heat resistance and bending resistance
compatible with the system.
Use wires and cables within the length of the range described in the instruction manual.
The ratings and characteristics of the parts (other than Motion controller, servo amplifier and
servomotor) used in a system must be compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier and
servomotor.
Install a cover on the shaft so that the rotary parts of the servomotor are not touched during
operation.
There may be some cases where holding by the electromagnetic brakes is not possible due to
the life or mechanical structure (when the ball screw and servomotor are connected with a timing
belt, etc.). Install a stopping device to ensure safety on the machine side.
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.

POINTS
(Note-1): Input power supply
Q170MSCPU is rated for use with a 24VDC input power only.
The Q170MSCPU breaks down when 28VDC or more input.
(Note-2): Select 24VDC power supply and electric wire within the range of 21.6 to
26.4VDC including any input ripple or spike voltage measured at the input
connector of the Q170MSCPU.
(Note-3): Inrush current
Take care that the inrush current of several amperes may flow when the
sharp square voltage is applied, or the power supply is turned ON with the
mechanical switch. Turn ON the primary (AC side) of power supply.
When selecting a fuse and breaker in the external circuit, take account of
the blow out, detection characteristics and above matters.
(Note-4): Allowable momentary power failure period
(1) An instantaneous power failure lasting less than 10ms
(Note)
will cause
24VDC down to be detected, but operation will continue.
(2) An instantaneous power failure lasting in excess of 10ms
(Note)
may
cause the operation to continue or initial start to take place
depending on the power supply load.
(Note): This is for a 24VDC input. This is 10ms or less for less than
24VDC.
(Note-5): Select 24VDC power supply with allowable momentary power failure
period of 20ms or more.
(Note-6): The current consumption (0.2[A]) of manual pulse generator/incremental
synchronous encoder connected to the internal I/F connector is not
included.

POINTS
(Note-1): Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5V, 24VDC circuit and
stops the system if the current flowing in the circuit exceeds the specified
value.
The LED of the power supply module is turned off or lights up in dim
green when voltage is lowered. If this device is activated, switch the input
power supply off and eliminate the cause such as insufficient current
capacity or short. Then, a few minutes later, switch it on to restart the
system.
The initial start for the system takes place when the current value
becomes normal.
(Note-2): Overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection device shuts off the 5VDC circuit and stops
the system if a voltage of 5.5VDC or more is applied to the circuit.
When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is switched
OFF.
If this happens, switch the input power OFF, then a few minutes later ON.
This causes the initial start for the system to take place. The power supply
module must be changed if the system is not booted and the LED
remains OFF.

2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
POINTS
(Note-3): Allowable momentary power failure period
(1) For AC input power supply
(2) For DC input power supply
(Note-4): Inrush current
When power is switched on again immediately (within 5 seconds) after
power-off, an inrush current of more than the specified value (2ms or less)
may flow. Reapply power 5 seconds after power-off.
When selecting a fuse and breaker in the external circuit, take account of
the blow out, detection characteristics and above matters.
(a) An instantaneous power failure lasting less than 20ms will cause
AC down to be detected, but operation will continue.
(b) An instantaneous power failure lasting in excess of 20ms may
cause the operation to continue or initial start to take place
depending on the power supply load.
Further, when the AC supply of the AC input module is the same
as that of the power supply module, it prevents the sensor
connected to the AC input module, which is ON at power-off,
from turning OFF by switching off the power supply.
However, if only the AC input module is connected to the AC
line, which is connected to the power supply, detection of the AC
down for the power supply module may be delayed by the
capacitor in the AC input module. Thus, connect a load of
approx. 30mA per AC input module to the AC line.
(a) An instantaneous power failure lasting less than 10ms
cause 24VDC down to be detected, but operation will continue.
(b) An instantaneous power failure lasting in excess of 10ms
may cause the operation to continue or initial start to take place
depending on the power supply load.
(Note): This is for a 24VDC input. This is 10ms or less for less
than 24VDC.

(4) I/O allocations
It is possible to allocate unique I/O No.s for each Motion CPU area independently
of the PLC CPU area’s I/O No.s.
ON/OFF data input to the Motion CPU area is handled via input devices PX
while ON/OFF data output from the Motion CPU area is handled via output
devices PY
It is not mandatory to match the I/O device PX/PY No.s used in the Motion
program with the PLC I/O No.s; but it is recommended to make them match as
much as possible.

CAUTION
Always use a shield cable for connection of the CTRL connector and external equipment, and
avoid running it close to or bundling it with the power and main circuit cables to minimize the
influence of electromagnetic interface. (Separate them more than 200mm (0.66ft.) away.)
Connect the shield wire of the connection cable to the FG terminal of the external equipment.
Make parameter setting correctly. Incorrect setting may disable the protective functions such
as stroke limit protection.
Always wire the cables when power is off. Not doing so may damage the circuit of modules.
Wire the cable correctly. Wrong wiring may damage the internal circuit.
