(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 for the programmable controller system, refer to the user's manual for the module used and the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual. 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

● 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 the 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.

[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 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.

● After the CPU module is powered on or 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 power off the programmable controller or do not 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.

● 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.

● A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips, from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

● Programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.

● For Ethernet cables to be used in the system, select the ones that meet the specifications in the user's manual for the module used. If not, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE

This section explains the following considerations.

Page 10 Considerations for network connection Page 10 Considerations for performance/specifications Page 11 Considerations for data logging, event logging, and report functions Page 12 Considerations for other functions Page 12 Considerations for accessing a high speed data logger module Page 13 Considerations for security Page 13 Considerations for using SD memory cards Page 15 Considerations for the recipe function

Considerations for network connection

■Mail server and FTP server connections

When immediately powering ON after powering OFF, connection to mail servers or FTP servers may fail. Power the programmable controller OFF, wait several minutes then power it ON.

Considerations for performance/specifications

■Sequence scan time of CPU module

When using the high speed data logger module, the CPU module sequence scan time may increase. Design your system and programs keeping in mind this increase in sequence scan time of the CPU module.

■Network connection using Ethernet

• When connecting to Ethernet network, basically configure the communication route to the access target via Ethernet (twisted pair) cables and hubs. Note that when accessing via wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or router, an error such as timeout or missing data occurs, and cannot be communicated properly depending on the status of the equipment (wireless LAN or router) on the network or the access route.

• When the access to the high speed data logger module is overloaded, errors and missing data may occur. Creating logging files, report files might take time, and communication with the module might not be possible. Reduce the load on the Ethernet network which is connected to the high speed data logger module.

■Time handled on the high speed data logger module

Time handled on the high speed data logger module is the time on the CPU module. For errors and the optimum timing for setting the time, refer to the following section.

Page 23 Performance Specifications MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application)

■High speed sampling

The high speed sampling function is not supported by CPU modules on other stations via a network.

Considerations for data logging, event logging, and report functions

■Data logging, event logging, and report functions

• The data logging, event logging, and report functions are best effort functions. Since the processing time of a module varies depending on the setting and the status of other devices, these functions may not perform at the set sampling interval. Run the system by fully verifying the processing time of each function when constructing it. For processing time, refer to the following manual. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• If data logging function, event logging function, or report function are used, they affect the sequence scan time of the access target CPU module. Run the system by verifying how the sequence scan time is affected when configuring the system. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• If exponential format is selected for the data output format with the data logging, event logging, or report setting, rounding errors will occur in the range of the number of digits that exceed the number of digits set for the decimal part.

• If the result of the linear function transformation with the scaling function exceeds the maximum or minimum range of the specified output format, the maximum or minimum value will be output in binary format. Therefore, when outputting in the binary format, errors may occur in the output values.

• The file transfer/e-mail transmission via the file transfer function/e-mail function may take from a few seconds to tens of seconds depending on the network line or transmission size. Target files may be deleted before file transfer/e-mail transmission completes depending on the settings. Review the file switching timing and the number of files saved setting and lengthen the time until the file is deleted. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• When a CSV file is opened with Excel, the date column format is displayed in the default setting of Excel. Set the cell format as necessary.

• Since general sampling specified data and report current value data are sampled asynchronously with the sequence scan, data separation may occur. If data separation must be prevented, set the number of device points sampled at one time to less than the access units, or set the module to use high speed sampling.

■Data logging function

• Immediately after switching the programmable controller system ON, if a trigger occurs before sampling the number of lines of data before the trigger, the data before the trigger may be a few lines less than the specified amount.

• When triggers continuously occur with the trigger logging function, triggers may not be detected or the number of lines of data specified before the trigger may not be output. For operation when triggers continuously occur, refer to the following manual. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

■Report function

• Immediately after switching the programmable controller system ON, if a creation trigger occurs when data does not exist in the data logging file, an error occurs in the high speed data logger module. Configure and construct the system so that the creation trigger occurs after data is saved in the data logging file.

• Report output takes time. Therefore, according to the data logging save setting, the data logging file including the data when the creation trigger occurs, may be deleted before the report output is completed. In this situation, the data for the specified number of records are not output, and an error occurs in the high speed data logger module. Check the Point in the following manual when configuring and constructing the system. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• When the creation triggers continuously occurred, they may not be detected. For operation when the creation trigger continuously occurred, refer to the following manual. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• When using Microsoft Excel 2010 (32-bit version), Microsoft Excel 2013 (32-bit version), or Microsoft Excel 2016 (32-bit version), install Visual Basic is displayed when the "Layout setting" screen is started, and layout settings cannot be configured. "This workbook has lost its VBA Project, ActiveX Controls and any other programmability-related features."

• The saving format of a report file output by the report function is the xls format. Some of the functions added to Microsoft Excel 2007 and later cannot be used.

• Microsoft Excel 2010 (64-bit version) is not supported.

• Microsoft Excel 2013 (64-bit version) is not supported.

• Microsoft Excel 2016 (64-bit version) is not supported.



for Applications (abbreviated as VBA below). If VBA is not installed, the error message below

Considerations for other functions

■Access target CPU setting

• When rewriting the configuration tool settings, turning the power OFF to ON, or resetting the CPU module, the high speed data logger module is prepared to communicate with the access target CPU module. Therefore, if a large number of access target CPU modules are set, several minutes are required for this preparation.

• The following conditions may affect the general sampling, file transfer function, and e-mail function: when the CPU module which does not exist in the access target CPU module is set, or the high speed data logger module cannot communicate with the access target CPU module temporary because of the power interruption of access target CPU module or network failure. Use the high speed data logger modules with the status that can communicate with the CPU module set as access target CPU module.

■Time synchronization function

• If implementing the time synchronization with the CPU module, it will change the time of the high speed data logger module. When the CPU module's time is changed, the high speed data logger module's time may be greatly changed.

• Since there is inaccuracy in the clock element of the CPU module and the high speed data logger module, the time may be moved slightly forward or backward when the time is synchronized. Since changing the time of the high speed data logger module affects the time stamp, as well as the following determination of the cycles and of the time: data logging, event logging, and reports, configure the module to synchronize its time at the required minimum range.

Considerations for accessing a high speed data logger module

■Web browser operations and settings

• In the local area network (LAN) setting of the Web browser, do not set a proxy server for the local address. (Page 53 Online startup)

■FTP server function

• Because of FTP client side application restrictions, if the user name or password is input incorrectly, end the FTP operation and redo the FTP connection from the beginning. FTP may not operate correctly by reentering the correct user name or password with the 'user' FTP command.

• The maximum number of simultaneous connections to the FTP server is 10. However, depending on the FTP client, it may make multiple simultaneous connections, so an FTP client may not be able to login even if 10 clients are not connected. In this situation, shutdown all the FTP clients, then restart and connect them.

• When transferring many files at once with FTP, a 426 error (data connection error) may occur. In this situation, split the files into multiple parts then transfer them separately.

• When Internet Explorer is used for FTP access, the user authentication screen may not be displayed due to the Internet Explorer specification. In such a case, enter the high speed data logger module's address in the following format. ftp://<user name>:<password>@<high speed data logger module's address or hostname>/

• When Internet Explorer is used for FTP access, data logging files, event logging files, report files, and recipe files may not open directly due to the Internet Explorer specification. Make sure to open the files after saving them to a personal computer.

• When Internet Explorer is used for FTP access, due to the Internet Explorer specification, errors may not be displayed even if the transfer failed when files are transferred to the SD memory card which does not have enough free space. Update the display and check if the files are transferred normally.

• When Internet Explorer is used for FTP access, a retry is performed at user authentication failure due to the Internet Explorer specification. Note that unintentional repeated entry of wrong passwords may lock the module.

■Connecting GX LogViewer

• The maximum number of connections for GX LogViewer to access the high speed data logger modules simultaneously is 2.

■Connecting configuration tools

• Note that the module may be in an unintended status when operating it from multiple configuration tools at the same time.

Considerations for security

• Although the high speed data logger module supports basic authentication (account setting) using user names and passwords, it does not completely protect the system from illegal access. Avoid accounts (user name, password) consisting of simple alphanumeric characters only, and include some non-alphanumeric characters ($, &, ?) to create a complicated user name and password.

Considerations for using SD memory cards

■SD memory card file/directory

• Do not create files (excluding module operating files and recipe files) or folders on the SD memory card with a personal computer. If files or folders are created on the SD memory card with a personal computer, they may be deleted.

■SD memory card to be used

• Use SD memory cards manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. If any other SD memory cards are used, a failure such as data corruption on the SD memory card or a system shutdown (module major error (error code: 2450H) occurs in the CPU module) may occur during an operation. (Page 71 Connection System Equipment)

■When turning OFF or resetting the CPU module

• When a CPU module is powered OFF or reset while writing data to an SD memory card, the processing to write data to the SD memory card may not be completed. It may cause a loss of logging data during the processing, corruption of data in the SD memory card that is being accessed, or occurrence of a file system error. The file is automatically recovered when the high speed data logger module is powered ON again, but it will not succeed in some cases. The operation, powering OFF or resetting the CPU module after stopping file access, should be considered. For the important data, a periodic backup is recommended. (Page 65 File access stop processing method)

■When removing or replacing the SD memory card

• Make sure to stop file access before removing or replacing the SD memory card.

(Page 65 File access stop processing method)

• Not following the procedure may cause a loss of logging data during processing, corruption of data in the SD memory card that is being accessed, a file system error, or false recognition of the mounting status of the SD memory card. (Page 63 Operations for removing and reinserting SD memory card)

• If an error occurs on the SD memory card, refer to the following manual. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• High speed data logger module settings are saved to the SD memory card. Therefore, the high speed data logger module's IP address returns to the initial status (192.168.3.3) when the SD memory card is not inserted in the module or when the power is turned OFF to ON or the CPU module is reset, without the settings written to the SD memory card. When necessary, read the current settings before removing the SD memory card and after replacing the card, promptly write those settings to the new card.

■SD memory card capacity

• Access speed to the SD memory card is affected by the amount of saved files. In particular, access speed becomes extremely slow when files are saved up to the capacity limit of the SD memory card. Use the SD memory card maintaining 10% or more free space on the card.

• A minimum size occupied by the files on the hard disk varies depending on the SD memory card capacity. Therefore, the actual file size and the occupied file size on the hard disk may differ.

■SD memory card diagnostic time

• The high speed data logger module performs diagnostics (file recovery, etc.) of the inserted SD memory card contents at the times listed below. When powering OFF to ON or resetting the CPU module When inserting an SD memory card while the power is ON

• The SD memory card diagnostic time takes longer when there are more files on the card. 100 files takes approximately 5 seconds, and 1000 files takes approximately 10 seconds.

• When many files are saved on the SD memory card, the following operations require longer time. Delete unnecessary files. 'SD memory card status' (X1) startup time Time before the high speed data logger module can start processing ('Module READY' (X0) or 'Module operating status' (X5) startup time)

■Formatting SD memory card

• Use the format function of the configuration tool to format an SD memory card.

• Do not format an SD memory card using the format function of Windows.

• Do not reset the control CPU or turn the power OFF when formatting an SD memory card.

• High speed data logger module settings are saved to an SD memory card. Therefore, all settings are lost when formatting the SD memory card. When necessary, read the current settings before formatting, and promptly write those settings after formatting. The IP address of the high speed data logger module returns to the initial status (192.168.3.3) when turning the power OFF to ON or when resetting the module without writing the settings to the SD memory card.

■SD memory card life span (Limit on writing)

• An SD memory card has a limited life span (limit on writing). For details, refer to the following manual.

(MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

■RECIPE folder

• The maximum number of recipe files that can be stored in the RECIPE folder is 256. Storing large numbers of files in the RECIPE folder causes a longer processing time for the following operations. Delete unnecessary files. Displaying or operating the file browser Displaying a file list of recipe execution operation Recipe execution operation

• Do not store any files other than recipe files in the RECIPE folder.

■Write protect switch

• Make sure that the write protect switch of the memory card is in the unlocked position. When the write protect switch is in the locked position, no file can not be written on the SD memory card.

Considerations for the recipe function

■Recipe files

• For recipe file names, use the characters usable in file names and folder (directory) names only.

■Recipe execution operation

• Before performing the recipe execution operation, write the high speed data logger module settings using the configuration tool, then set the module operating status to "In operation". The module operating status can be checked on the "Module Diagnostic" screen. (MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application))

• The recipe execution operation can be performed to the control CPU only. It cannot be performed to a CPU module on another station.

• Do not power OFF or reset the CPU module during the recipe execution operation. The recipe file being edited may be damaged. Power OFF or reset the CPU module after confirming the completion of the recipe execution operation.

2.1 Performance Specifications

*1 The number of device points available for a piece of data differs depending on the data type. *2 The total number of sampling data of data logging, event logging, and report data. *3 The total number of units of sampled data per setting is as follows only when the creation trigger and current value data are not

synchronized in the report setting. Total number of units of data (per setting): 65535, device points (per setting): 65535 However, note that the number of device points per setting of data excluding the current value data is up to 4096.

*4 In high-speed sampling, target data is sampled by synchronizing with a sequence scan from a control CPU module by using the

sequence scan synchronization sampling function of a control CPU module. When multiple intelligent function modules use the sequence scan synchronization sampling function, note the total number of points for target data. If it exceeds the number of points that can be sampled, an error may occur in registration processing of an intelligent function module registered later.

*5 If the number of device points for high speed sampling is increased, an error may occur when updating the settings. If an error occurred,

take the following corrective action. ⋅ Check the settings of other intelligent function modules controlled by the control CPU module, and adjust it so that the total number of device points for the sequence scan synchronization sampling function does not exceed the number of points that can be sampled.

⋅ Power OFF to ON, or reset the control CPU. ⋅ Return the number of device points to the original settings.

*6 The data type when reading data from the device memory in the CPU module. *7 The number of characters is determined by the specified size.

For Unicode text file and binary file format, the maximum number of characters is 4096 characters because one character contains two bytes.

*8 The format when data is output to Unicode text file or CSV file with data logging or event logging.

Binary files are output in the binary format. Reports are output in Excel cell format.

*9 A function to perform data scaling and offset calculations.

■Target sampling data

Type Data type

Data logging Logging target data, trigger condition data, period condition data, file switching condition data, saved file name data,

saved folder name data, e-mail transmission data

Event logging Monitoring data, period condition data, file switching condition data, saved file name data, saved folder name data, e-

mail transmission data

Report Current value data, creation trigger condition data, period condition data, saved file name data, saved folder name

data, e-mail transmission data

The data logging, event logging, and report functions are best effort functions. Since module processing time changes according to the settings and status of other devices, it may not operate with the set data sampling interval. Run the system by fully verifying the processing time of each function when constructing it. For processing time, refer to the following manual. MELSEC iQ-R High Speed Data Logger Module User's Manual(Application)
