[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) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned OFF if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is
activated.
• Held or turned OFF according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain ON or OFF due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in
an output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
● Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the
network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● 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.
2
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used.
● If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a
communication failure may result in an accident.
● 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.
[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 100 mm 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 OFF and ON.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
● After the power is turned OFF and ON or the CPU module is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN
status varies depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design
circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
● Do not turn the power OFF or reset the CPU module while the settings are being written. Doing so will
make the data in the flash ROM or SD memory card undefined. The values need to be set in the buffer
memory and written to the flash ROM or the SD memory card again. Doing so may cause malfunction
or failure of the module.
● When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as remote RUN/
STOP functions), select "Do Not Open in Program" for "Open Method Setting" in the module
parameters. If "Open in Program" is selected, an execution of remote STOP causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the communication line,
and the external device cannot execute the remote RUN.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● 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 electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets general specifications written in Safety
Guidelines included in the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or
damage to or deterioration of the product.
● To mount a module, place the concave part(s) located at the bottom onto the guide(s) of the base unit,
and push in the module, and make sure to fix the module with screws since this module has no
module fixing hook. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
● 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.
● When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.
Check the connection for looseness. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the memory card slot. Check that it is inserted
completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.

[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
● Check the rated voltage and signal 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 fire
or failure.
● 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.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● 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 clamp the
extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics of the cables,
resulting in malfunction.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
● Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● 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. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. 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.

● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or
throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the
battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury or fire.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.
6
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● 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 disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller. Failure to do so
may cause malfunction.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

3. When the output signal (Y) of a C intelligent function module is turned ON, the user program is restarted.
The following shows the considerations when using C intelligent function module dedicated function (CITL_WaitYEvent).
■When an interrupt event has already been notified
When an interrupt event has already been notified at the time of executing the C intelligent function module dedicated function
(CITL_WaitYEvent), a user program restarts from a state of waiting for an interrupt event at the same time as the execution of
the function.
In addition, when multiple interrupt events have been notified to the same interrupt event number at the time of executing the
C intelligent function module dedicated function (CITL_WaitYEvent), a user program performs processing as a single interrupt
event notification.
■When using the function in multiple user programs
Do not specify a same interrupt event (output signal (Y) number) in multiple user programs.
Otherwise, a user program to which a specified interrupt event (output signal (Y) number) is notified will be undefined.

■Operation while accessing file
Do not perform any of the following operations while accessing the file. The file may get damaged.
• Reset the CPU module, or turn the power OFF.
• Insert/remove an SD memory card.
■Reconnection after timeout
If a timeout error occurred during file transfer, the TCP connection will be closed (disconnected).
Log in to the C intelligent function module again with the FTP client before restarting the file transfer.
■File transmission time
The file transfer processing time will differ depending on the following causes.
• Load rate of Ethernet line (line congestion)
• Number of connections to be used simultaneously (processing of other connections)
• System Configuration
1 FUNCTION
1.2 Ethernet Communication Function
23
■Number of simultaneous connections
• Up to 10 target devices (FTP client) can log in to a C intelligent function module. If connecting from the 11th FTP client in
the state where 10 target devices have logged in, an error will occur without establishing the connection.
• If UDP communication is performed during file transfer with FTP, an error such as timeout may occur. Either communicate
after the file transfer or communicate with TCP.
■Writing files
• Files with the read-only attribute and files that are locked from other devices/functions cannot be written. Doing so may
cause a write error.
• The write files cannot be transferred if the SD memory card is write-protected. Doing so may cause a write error.
■Deleting files
Determine the timing for deleting the files for the entire system including the C intelligent function module and peripheral
devices.

Telnet function
Precautions
This function executes the Shell command with a Telnet tool in a personal computer without using CW Workbench for a TCP/
IP network. This allows simple remote debugging (such as task information display and memory dumping) of a C intelligent
function module.
Using Telnet function
For using the Telnet function, the service/account needs to be set.
Page 33 Service/account setting function
■Account setting
This shows account settings set prior to the shipment (Initial settings).
• Login name: target
• Password: password
To prevent unauthorized access, change the password when using the Telnet function.
■Available Shell commands
Shell commands of CW Workbench can be used. For details on the shell commands, refer to the manual of VxWorks.
■Number of connections
The same C intelligent function module cannot be connected by using multiple Telnet tools. Connect a Telnet tool to a C
intelligent function module on a 1:1 basis. When connecting another Telnet tool, make sure to close (disconnect) the Telnet
tool being connected.
1
■Shell command
Shell commands entered from the Telnet tool operate on task of priority 1.
Note the following when executing the command. System errors/stop (such as watchdog timer error) may occur in a C
intelligent function module.
• Make sure to check the command specifications before executing commands which occupy the CPU processing.
• For rebooting VxWorks, reset the CPU module, or turn the power OFF and ON. Do not reboot VxWorks by executing the
command (reboot) of VxWorks or pressing + .
• Before executing a command in which arguments are included, make sure to check the command specifications/argument
specifications. (When executed without specifying those arguments, with the result that 0 is specified to an argument.) Do
not execute the close command with no argument specified. By doing so, a resource that is reserved in the VxWorks
system will be closed. When a command that shows the status of the module, such as the show command, is executed, the
module will be in the interrupt-disabled state for a long period of time, and any processing called from an interrupt routine is
not executed. As a result, an interrupt which occurs at the fixed interval may be delayed.
■Message display on Shell
A message issued by VxWorks during Telnet connection may be displayed on Shell. For the message of VxWorks, refer to the
manual and help of VxWorks.
1 FUNCTION
1.2 Ethernet Communication Function

■Timeout
When the line is disconnected during Telnet connection, it will take 30 seconds before Telnet connection (TCP) times out on
the C intelligent function module side. Telnet cannot be reconnected until it times out.
Timeout time can be changed by the command provided by VxWorks.
Timeout time = iptcp.KeepIdle value + (iptcp.KeepIntvl value × iptcp.KeepCnt value)
• iptcp.KeepIdle: Time from when the line is disconnected to the first retry
• iptcp.KeepIntvl: Interval between retries
• iptcp.KeepCnt: Number of retries
• XX, YY: Specify the time (in seconds). (When '0' is specified, no timeout will occur.)
• ZZ: Specify the number of retries.
The following shows the procedure to change the timeout time of a C intelligent function module in operation.
1. Establish a Telnet connection to a C intelligent function module with a Telnet tool.
2. Execute the commands given above from the Shell command of the Telnet tool and change the timeout time.
3. Reboot the Telnet server.
4. Close (disconnect) the Telnet connection.
5. Establish a Telnet connection to a C intelligent function module with a Telnet tool again.
To change the Telnet connection (TCP) timeout time while starting the C intelligent function module, follow the procedure
below.
1. Describe the commands given above in the script file (STARTUP.CMD).
2. Turn the power of the CPU module ON.
■If the Telnet password has been forgotten
Initialize the C intelligent function module. Password before the shipment (Initial settings) will be changed. (Page 29

Program Monitoring (WDT) Function
This function monitors and detects errors on hardware and a user program by using the watchdog timer (WDT), an internal
timer of a C intelligent function module.
Program monitoring (WDT) type
■System watchdog timer
A timer to monitor the system of a C intelligent function module.
Use this to detect an error in hardware and system software.
■User watchdog timer
A timer to monitor a user program.
Use this to detect an error in a user program.
Monitoring time setting and reset
■System watchdog timer
The monitoring time of the system watchdog timer is 2000 ms (fixed value).
The system of a C intelligent function module resets it every cycle (2000 ms).
■User watchdog timer
Set a monitoring time for the user watchdog timer within the range of 100 ms to 10000 ms (in 10 ms units) by using the C
intelligent function module dedicated function (CITL_StartWDT).
Monitoring starts by executing the C intelligent function module dedicated function (CITL_StartWDT), and the monitoring time
is reset by executing the C intelligent function module dedicated function (CITL_ResetWDT).
1
Timeout of watchdog timer
When the watchdog timer times out, an error indicating that the monitoring time set in the watchdog timer setting has been
exceeded (watchdog timer error) occurs. If a system watchdog timer error occurs, the RUN LED turns OFF and the ERR LED
turns ON. If a user watchdog timer error occurs, the ERR LED starts flashing.
■System watchdog timer
In case of failure of a C intelligent function module hardware and interrupt program execution, timeout will occur as the system
processing has been suspended for a long time.
■User watchdog timer
If a user program cannot complete processing within the time specified by using the C intelligent function module dedicated
function (CITL_StartWDT), and also cannot reset by using the C intelligent function module dedicated function
(CITL_ResetWDT), a timeout will occur.
When using the following functions, a user watchdog timer error occurs easily since the CPU utilization by a system task with
high priority increases.
• Shell command
• Connection with CW Workbench and Wind River Workbench
• Mounting and unmounting an SD memory card
• File access
• Ethernet communication
• NFS server communication
