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 a safety programmable controller detects an error in an external power supply or a failure in
programmable controller main module, it turns off all the outputs. Create an external circuit to securely
stop the power of hazard by turning off the outputs. Incorrect configuration may result in an accident.
● To inhibit restart without manual operation after safety functions was performed and outputs were
turned off, create an interlock program which uses a reset button for restart.
● If CC-Link IE Field Network error has been detected, create a sequence program that turns off the
outputs in the program. If the CC-Link IE Field Network is restored with the outputs on, it may
suddenly operate and result in an accident.
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not bunch the wires of external devices or communication cables together with the main circuit or
power lines, 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 malfunctions.
1
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use a safety programmable controller in the environment that meets the general specifications
described in the QSCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection). 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 failure or drop. Secure the module to
the base unit with screws. Tighten the screw in the specified torque range. If the screws are too loose,
it may cause a drop of the screw or module. Overtightening may cause a drop due to the damage of
the screw or module.
● Completely turn off the external supply power used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Not doing so could result in damage to the product.
● Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic components. Doing so may cause
malfunctions or a failure.
[Wiring Precautions]

completely turning off all power could result in electric shock or damage to the product.
● When energizing or operating the module after installation or wiring, be sure to close the attached
terminal cover. Not doing so may result in electric shock.
2
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Tighten a module fixing screw within the specified torque range. If the module fixing screw is too
loose, it may cause a drop of the screw or module. Overtightening the screw may cause a drop due to
the damage of the screw or module.
● Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris inside the module. Such
debris could cause a fire, failure, or malfunctions.
● The module has an ingress prevention label on its top to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
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.
● Be sure to fix the communication cables or power cables by ducts or clamps when connecting them to
the module. Failure to do so may cause damage of the module or cables due to a wobble,
unintentional shifting, or accidental pull of the cables, or malfunctions due to poor contact of the cable.
● When removing the connected communication cables or power cables, do not pull the cable with
grasping the cable part. Pulling the cable connected to a module may result in malfunctions or
damage of the module or cable.
● For the cables to be used in CC-Link IE Field Network, use the ones specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, the performance of CC-Link IE Field Network is not guaranteed. As to the maximum
overall cable length and station - to station cable length, follow the specifications described in the
MELSEC-QS CC-Link IE Field Network Master/Local Module User's Manual. If not following the
specification, the normal data transmission is not guaranteed.

1Gbps communication speed allows high-speed communication. Also, the takt time can be reduced due to the
improved performance of communication response.
(3) Use of Ethernet cable
A 1000BASE-T-compliant Ethernet is used for the connection interface. The wiring cost can be reduced because
1000BASE-T-compliant Ethernet cables are commercially available. (Page 56, Section 5.2)
1000BASE-T
(4) Flexible wiring for system arrangements
The network can be wired into star topology, line topology, and ring topology. (Page 47, Section 5.1.1)
For star topology, a 1000BASE-T compliant switching hub can be used. (Page 57, Section 5.2.2)
Wiring is highly flexible because a network can consist of a combination of star and line topologies. For example,
the control panels can be connected through a star topology and the production lines through a line topology.
