SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Always read these precautions before using this equipment.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals
introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the
product correctly.
Note that these precautions apply only to this product.
For the safety precautions of the programmable controller system, please read the
User's Manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause

DANGER

CAUTION

Note that the CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to
the circumstances.
Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to
personal safety.
Please save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forward
it to the end user.

hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe
injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause
hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight
personal injury or physical damage.

A-1

[Design Precautions]

DANGER

When controlling a running programmable controller (e.g. data modification),
create an interlock circuit on sequence programs so that the whole system
functions safely all the time.
Also, be sure to read the manual carefully and ensure safety before
performing any other controls such as operating status change.
Especially, when controlling a programmable controller from a remote
location via network, problems on the programmable controller side may not
be dealt with promptly due to failure of data communications.
Create an interlock circuit on a sequence program.

For the operation status of each station at a communication error, refer to the
manual for that station.
Incorrect output or malfunctions may cause an accident.

Install a safety circuit external to the programmable controller that keeps the
entire system safe even when there are problems with the external power
supply or the programmable controller.

Otherwise, trouble could result from erroneous output or erroneous

operation.

When the programmable controller system security needs to be protected
against illegal access from an external device via a network, take measures
at the user's discretion.

Do not write any data to the "System area" in the buffer memory of the
intelligent function module.
As for signals output from the programmable controller CPU to the intelligent
function module, never output (ON) a "Use prohibited" signal.
Doing these operations may cause malfunctions of the programmable
controller system.

A-2

[Design Precautions]

CAUTION

Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit
or power wires, or install them close to each other.
They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other.
Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

During registering each setting, do not power OFF the mounted module or
reset the programmable controller CPU.
Otherwise, data in the CompactFlash card will be undefined. Therefore,
resetting and re-registering data are required.
This may also cause a module failure or malfunctions.

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

Use the programmable controller under the environment specified in the
User's Manual.
Using this programmable controller in an environment outside the range of
the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous
operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.

While pressing the installation lever located at the bottom of module, insert
the module fixing tab into the fixing hole in the base unit until it stops. Then,
securely mount the module with the fixing hole as a supporting point.
Incorrect loading of the module can cause a malfunction, failure or drop.
When using the programmable controller in the environment of much
vibration, tighten the module with a screw.

A-3

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system before
mounting or removing the module.
Not doing so could result in damage to the product.

Tighten the screw in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage
to the screw or module.

Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic
components.
Touching the conductive parts could cause an operation failure or give
damage to the module.

When connecting a connector, properly press, crimp, or solder it using the
tools specified by the manufacturer.
Incomplete connection may cause short-circuit, fire, and malfunctions.

Push the CompactFlash card into the CompactFlash card slot and install it
securely.
After installing the CompactFlash card, check that it is inserted securely.
Failure to do so may cause malfunctions due to poor contact.

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

Always store the communication cables and power cables connected to the
module in the duct or fix them in place with clamps.
Not doing so may cause swing, move, or poor connection of the cable, or
damage of a module and/or cable due to careless pull, resulting in
malfunctions.

Install connectors securely to modules.

A-4

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

Tighten the screw in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage
to the screw or module.

When disconnecting communication cables connected to the module, never
pull on the cable section.
When using a cable with a connector, disconnect it with holding the
connector connected to the module.
When the cable is pulled while connected to the module, this may cause
malfunctions or module/cable damage.

Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris
inside the module.
Such debris could cause fires, damage, or erroneous operation.

The module has an ingress prevention label on its top to prevent foreign
matter, such as wire offcuts, from entering the module during wiring.
Do not peel this label during wiring.
Before starting system operation, be sure to peel this label because of heat
dissipation.

[Disposal Precautions]

CAUTION

When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
When disposing of batteries, separate them from other wastes according to
the local regulations. (For details of the battery directive in EU member
states, refer to the MES Interface Module User's Manual.)

[Transportation Precautions]

CAUTION

When transporting lithium batteries, make sure to treat them based on the
transportation regulations. (Refer to Chapter8 for details of the relevant
models.)
