[Design Precautions]
WARNING
When the MELSEC-WS safety controller detects a fault in the external power supply or itself, it
turns off the outputs. Configure an external circuit so that the connected devices are powered off
according to the output status (off) of the MELSEC-WS safety controller. Incorrect configuration
may result in an accident.
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.
For safety relays, configure an external circuit using a device such as a fuse or breaker to protect a
short-circuit current.
When changing data and operating status, and modifying program of the running MELSEC-WS
safety controller from the PC, configure a safety circuit in the sequence program or external to the
MELSEC-WS safety controller to ensure that the entire system operates safely.
Before operating the MELSEC-WS safety controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and
determine the operating procedure so that the safety can be ensured.
Furthermore, before performing online operations for the MELSEC-WS safety controller from the
PC, determine corrective actions to be taken for communication errors caused by failure such as a
poor contact.
Create an interlock program using a reset button to prevent the MELSEC-WS safety controller from
restarting automatically after the safety function is activated and the safety controller turns off the
outputs.
1
CAUTION
Ensure that an entire system using the MELSEC-WS safety controller meets the requirements for
the corresponding safety category.
The life of safety relays in the safety relay output module depends on the switching condition
and/or load. Configure a system satisfying the number of switching times of the safety relays in
the module.
Do not install the 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.
If a mechanical switch such as a relay is connected to an input terminal of a safety I/O module,
consider contact bounce.
Observe the protective notes and measures.
Observe the following items in order to ensure proper use of the MELSEC-WS safety controller.
When mounting, installing and using the MELSEC-WS safety controller, observe the standards
and directives applicable in your country.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and periodic
technical inspection of the MELSEC-WS safety controller, in particular.

Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
The work safety regulations/safety rules
Manufacturers and owners of the machine on which a MELSEC-WS safety controller is used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
The notices, in particular the test notices of this manual (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or
integration into the existing machine controller), must be observed.
The test must be carried out by specialised personnel or specially qualified and authorized
personnel and must be recorded and documented and retraced at any time by third parties.
The external voltage supply of the device must be capable of buffering brief mains voltage
failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204.
The modules of the MELSEC-WS safety controller conform to Class A, Group 1, in accordance
with EN 55011. Group 1 encompasses all the ISM devices in which intentionally generated
and/or used conductor-bound RF energy that is required for the inner function of the device
itself occurs.
The MELSEC-WS safety controller fulfils the requirements of Class A (industrial
applications) in accordance with the “Interference emission” basic specifications.
The MELSEC-WS safety controller is therefore only suitable for use in an industrial environment
and not for private use.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
Do not use the MELSEC-WS safety controller in flammable gas atmosphere or explosive gas
atmosphere. Doing so may result in a fire or explosion due to such as an arc caused by switching
the relays.
CAUTION
Use the MELSEC-WS safety controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in
this manual. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or
deterioration of the product.
Latch the module onto the DIN mounting rail. Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or
drop of the module.
To ensure full electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the DIN mounting rail has to be connected to
functional earth (FE).
Ensure that the earthling contact is positioned correctly. The earthling spring contact of the
module must contact the DIN mounting rail securely to allow electrical conductivity.
Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before mounting or removing the
module.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the product.
Do not directly touch any conductive part of the module.
Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

of 100 Ω or less.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
Check the rated voltage and terminal 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 a fire or
failure.
Tighten the terminal screw within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the
screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module.
Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
Mitsubishi MELSEC-WS safety controllers must be installed in control cabinets. Connect the main
power supply to the MELSEC-WS safety controller through a relay terminal block.
Wiring and replacement of an external power supply must be performed by maintenance
personnel who is familiar with protection against electric shock. (For wiring methods, refer to
Chapter 7.)
Place the cables in a duct or clamp them.
