, resulting in serious accidents.
For the Power Supply Unit or any other power supply connected to peripheral devices,
connect the 0-V side to ground, or do not ground them at all.
Depending on how devices connected to the non-insulated circuit are grounded, the
power supply may be short-circuited.
Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply
, as shown in the following figure.
14
During Power Supply
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart.
In particular
, high-voltage parts are present in the Power Supply Unit while power is
supplied or immediately after power is turned OFF. Touching any of these parts may
result in electric shock. There are sharp parts inside the Unit that may cause injury.
Fail-safe Measures
Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the products or due to other external factors af
ing operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures
must be provided in external control circuits.
You must take fail-safe measures to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or
abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or
other causes.
The UPS used enables normal operation to continue for a certain period of time if a
momentary power interruption occurs. This means that the CK3M-series Controller
may receive incorrect signals from external devices that are also af
interruption. Accordingly, take suitable actions, such as establishing external fail-safe
measures and interlock conditions, to monitor the power supply voltage of the external
device as required.
Unintended outputs may occur if an error occurs in internal data of the Controller. As a
countermeasure for these problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.
The Controller will turn OFF all outputs of output units in the following cases and the
slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
•
If a power supply error occurs
• If the connected power supply is faulty
• If a CPU Unit error (watchdog timer error) or CPU Unit reset occurs
• If a major fault level Controller error occurs
• While the Controller is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is
turned ON
• If a system initialization error occurs
External safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system in
such cases.
The outputs may remain ON or OFF due to welding or burning of the output relays or
destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for these problems, external
safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.
fected by the power
To ensure safe use of the Controller, correctly make the limit settings for the position,
speed, acceleration, jerk, current, and following error
tection.
For devices that move in a vertical direction, use a motor brake to prevent them from
falling down when the servo control is stopped.

.
Test Run
Before you start a Test Run, make sure that the operation parameters are set correctly.
Check the user program, servo algorithm, data, and parameter settings for proper execution before you use them for actual operation.
Cautions
Design
To control the motor safely and correctly, the servo algorithm design and gain setting
work must be performed by engineers who understand control theories and the specifications of this product.
Test Run
When you perform a test run, take fail-safe measures and run the motor at a sufficiently low speed to ensure safety
.
Downloading
Before you download a project written in C language, execute the re-initialization command ($$$***).
If you download a validated program to a different product, check the operation of the
program again on the product because it may have dif
• Do not drop any Unit or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may result in Unit malfunction or burning.
Mounting
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, connectors, and other items with locking devices are correctly
locked into place before use.
• When connecting the Power Supply Unit, CPU Unit, and CK3W Unit, connect the Units together,
then slide the sliders on the top and bottom until they click into place, and lock securely.
• Always mount an end cover for use. Note that if an end cover is not mounted, the Unit may not function satisfactorily.
• The number of CK3W Units connected to the CPU Unit must be within the specified range.
Precautions for Safe Use
Installation
• Always connect to a ground of 100 Ω or less when installing the Units.
• For DIN Track installation, correctly follow the instructions in this manual.
Wiring
• Follow the instructions in this manual to correctly perform terminal block and connector wiring and
insertion.
Double-check all wiring and connector insertion before turning ON the power supply.
• If the external power supply to a digital output or a slave has polarity, connect it with the correct polarity.
If the polarity is reversed, current may flow in the reverse direction and damage the connected devices regardless of the operation of the Controller.
• Before you connect a computer to the Controller, disconnect the power supply plug of the computer
from the AC outlet.
Also, if the computer has an FG terminal, connect it such that the FG terminal has the same electrical potential as the FG on the product.
A difference in electrical potential between the computer and the Controller may cause a failure or
malfunction.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cables.
• Always use power supply wires with sufficient wire diameters to prevent voltage drop and burning.
Make sure that the current capacity of the wire is sufficient. Otherwise, excessive heat may be generated.
When cross-wiring terminals, the total current for all the terminals will flow in the wire. When wiring
cross-overs, make sure that the current capacity of each of the wires is not exceeded.
•
Do not allow wire clippings, shavings, or other foreign material to enter the Controller. Otherwise,
Controller burning, failure, or malfunctions may occur.
Cover the Controller or take other suitable countermeasures, in particular when carrying out wiring
work.
• To ensure safe use of the functions of the CK3W Units, observe the following points when wiring to
avoid the effects of the noise.
a) Use twisted-pair shielded wire for the encoder connection lines, amplifier connection lines, and
analog input lines.
b) Wire the encoder connection lines, amplifier connection lines, and analog input lines separately
from the AC power lines, motor power lines, and other power lines, and do not insert into the
same duct.
c) If there are noise effects from power supply lines when using the same power supply to power
an electrical welder or an electric discharge machine, or there is a high-frequency source nearby,
insert a noise filter into the power supply input section.
Power Supply Design
• In the system, only use a power supply within the rated supply capacity range specified in this manual.
•
Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting and overcurrents in
external wiring.
• Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input voltage.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of the maximum switching capacity.
Turning ON the Power Supply
• It takes approximately several tens of seconds to enter RUN mode after the power supply is turned
ON. During that time, outputs will be OFF or the values will be as according to settings in the Unit or
slaves. Also, external communications will not be able to be performed. Implement fail-safe circuits
so that external devices do not operate incorrectly
• Surge current occurs when the power supply is turned ON. When selecting fuses or breakers for
external circuits, consider the above precaution and allow sufficient margin in shut-off performance.
Refer to this user's manual for surge current specifications.
• Configure the external circuits so that the power supply to the digital output turns ON only after the
power supply to the Controller has turned ON.
If the power supply to the Controller is turned ON after the digital output power supply, the digital
output may suddenly malfunction when the power supply is turned ON to the Controller.
.
18
Actual Operation
• Build a program such that the Sys.Status flag is constantly monitored and safe operations are taken
if any errors occur
• Do not turn OFF the power supply or remove the USB memory device while the Controller is accessing the USB memory device. Data may become corrupted, and the Controller will not operate
correctly if it uses corrupted data.
•
Always turn OFF the power supply before you attempt any of the following.
a) Mounting or removing the Units
b) Assembling the Units
c) Setting rotary switches
d) Connecting cables or wiring the system
e) Connecting or disconnecting the terminal blocks or connectors
• Do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to the product when downloading data or
programs from the Support Software. You may be unable to download the correct data, which could
result in malfunctions.
• Do not turn OFF the power supply when performing write processes to the built-in flash memory.
Data may be corrupted, which could result in malfunctions.
Operation
Confirm that no adverse effects will occur in the system before you attempt any of the following.
•
Changing the operating mode of the Controller (including changing operation mode setting when
power is turned ON)
• Changing the user program or settings
• Changing set values or present values
EtherCAT Communications
• Make sure that the communications distance, number of nodes connected, and method of connection for EtherCA
Do not connect EtherCAT communication to EtherNet/IP, a standard in-house LAN, or other networks. An overload may cause the network to fail or malfunction.
• If the Fail-soft Operation Setting parameter is set to Stop, process data communications will stop
for all the slaves when an EtherCAT communications error is detected in a slave. This means that if
a Servo Drive is connected, the Servo turns OFF for all the axes. At that time, the Servo Drive will
operate according to the Servo Drive specifications. Make sure that the fail-soft operation setting results in safe operation when a device error occurs.
• If noise occurs or an EtherCAT slave is disconnected from the network, any current communications
frames may be lost. If frames are lost, slave I/O data is not communicated, and unintended operation may occur. The slave outputs will behave according to the slave specifications. For details, refer
to the manual for the slave.
• When an EtherCAT slave is disconnected or disabled, communications will stop and control of the
outputs will be lost not only for the disconnected slave, but for all slaves connected after it. Confirm
that the system will not be adversely affected before you disconnect or disable a slave.
• You cannot use standard Ethernet hubs or repeater hubs with EtherCAT communications. If you use
one of these, a major fault level error or other error may occur.
• EtherCAT communications are not always established immediately after the power supply is turned
ON. Use the system-defined variables and the EtherCA
program to confirm that I/O data communications are established before attempting control operations.
• If you need to disconnect the cable from an EtherCAT slave during operation, first reset the EtherCAT and EtherCAT slaves that are connected after it to the Init state, then disconnect the EtherCAT
slave.
• For EtherCAT and EtherNet, use the connection methods and cables that are specified in this manual. Otherwise, communications may be faulty.
• Make sure that all of the slaves to be restored are participating in the network before you reset the
EtherCAT Master Function Module. If any slave is not participating in the network when any of these
errors is reset, the EtherCAT Master Function Module may access a slave with a different node address than the specified node address, or the error may not be reset correctly.
• There is a time lag between the moment when this Controller sends a command value to the EtherCAT type Servo Drive and the moment when it receives the feedback value. Perform servo control
taking this time lag into consideration.

a) Continuous refreshing of process data communications will not be possible.
b) Continuous refreshing of process data communications will not end during the set cycle
USB Devices
• Always use USB memory devices that comply with the USB standards.
OMRON devices that comply with EU Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that
they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have
been checked for conformity to EMC standards.*1
Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must
be checked by the customer. EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with
EU Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore,
perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

The CK3M-series Units comply with EU Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which
the CK3M-series Units are used complies with EU Directives, the following precautions must be observed.
• The CK3M-series Units must be installed within a control panel.
• You must use double or reinforced insulation power supply for the DC power supplies that are
connected as the Unit power supplies for the CK3M-series Units.
We recommend that you use the OMRON S8VK-S series DC Power Supplies. EMC standard
compliance was confirmed for the recommended Power Supplies.
• The CK3M-series Units that comply with EU Directives also conform to the Common Emission
Standard (EN61326). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending
on the configuration of the control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions.
You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment in which the CK3M-series
Units are used complies with EU Directives.
• This is a Class A product (for industrial environments). In a residential environment, it may cause
radio interference. If radio interference occurs, the user may be required to take appropriate
measures.
