Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention
to safety to handle the product correctly.
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 connecting a peripheral with the programmable controller CPU or connecting a personal
computer with an intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller,
configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always
operate safely.
For other forms of control (such as program modification or operating status change) of a running
programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe
before proceeding.
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" in the buffer memory of the intelligent function module.
Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signal as an output signal from the CPU module to the
intelligent function module.
Doing these operations may cause malfunctions to the programmable controller system.
● Provide security measures on user side that prevent unauthorized access from outside via network
as necessary.
A - 1
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
user's manual for the CPU module used.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the
product.
● To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) into the hole(s) in the base unit and press the
module until it snaps into place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module
with a screw.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
● 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 damage to 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.

WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered.
Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
CAUTION
● Securely connect the connector to the module.
● Place the communication cable or power cable in a duct or clamp it.
If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or
cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
● Check the type of the interface to be connected before wiring the modules.
Connecting to a wrong interface or incorrect wiring may cause a fire or failure.
● When disconnecting a communication cable or power cable from the module, do not pull 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.
