Warnings

WARNING
During Power Supply
Do not touch the terminal section while power is ON.
Electric shock may occur.
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart.
In particular, high-voltage parts are present in Units that supply power 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.
Safety Precautions
Fail-safe Measures
Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the CPU Unit, Industrial PC, other Units, or slaves or due to other external factors affecting 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.
The CPU Unit or Industrial PC will turn OFF all outputs from Output Units in the following cases. The remote I/O slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
• If a power supply error occurs.
• If the power supply connection becomes faulty.
• If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs.
• If a Controller error in the major fault level occurs.
• While the CPU Unit is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is turned ON
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 deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.
If external power supplies for slaves or other devices are overloaded or short-circuited, the voltage will drop, outputs will turn OFF, and the system may be unable to read inputs. Pro­vide external safety measures in control with monitoring of external power supply voltage as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.
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.
Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.

Voltage and Current Inputs
Make sure that the voltages and currents that are input to the Units and slaves are within the specified ranges.
Inputting voltages or currents that are outside of the specified ranges may cause accidents or fire.
Transferring
Always confirm safety at the destination node before you transfer Unit configuration infor­mation, parameters, settings, or other data from tools such as the Sysmac Studio.
The devices or machines may operate unexpectedly, regardless of the operating mode of the Controller.

Cautions

Wiring
When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Communications Coupler Unit that has a non-isolated DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) or do not ground it at all.
If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) may be short-circuited.
Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.
14
Be sure that all terminal screws and cable connector screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. The loose screws may result in fire or malfunction.
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Safety Precautions
Online Editing
Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused by devia­tions in the timing of I/O. If you perform online editing, the task execution time may exceed the task period, I/O may not be refreshed with external devices, input signals may not be read, and output timing may change.

Precautions for Safe Use
Transporting
• When transporting any Unit, use the special packing box for it. Also, do not subject the Unit to excessive vibration or shock during transportation.
• Do not drop any Unit or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may result in Unit malfunction or burning.
Mounting
• Mount terminal blocks and connectors only after checking the mounting location carefully.
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, expansion cables, and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place.
Installation
• Do not apply labels or tape to the Unit. When the Unit is installed or removed, adhesive or scraps may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions.
• Do not touch the pins in the NX bus connector on the Unit. Dirt may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions.

Precautions for Safe Use
Restricted
region (shaded
portion)
Up
Down
• Do not write on an NX Unit with ink within the restricted region that is shown in the following figure. Also do not get this area dirty. When the Unit is installed or removed, ink or dirt may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions in the CPU Rack or the Slave Termi­nal. Refer to the user’s manual for the connected CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit for the restricted region of CPU Unit and Communications Coupler Unit.
• For the installation orientations in the following figure, support the cables, e.g., with a duct, so that the End Plate on the bottom is not subjected to the weight of the cables. The weight of the cables may cause the bottom End Plate to slide downward so that the Slave Terminal is no longer secured to the DIN Track, which may result in malfunctions.
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
17
Precautions for Safe Use
Wiring
• Double-check all switches and other settings and double-check all wiring to make sure that they are correct before turning ON the power supply. Use the correct wiring parts and tools when you wire the system.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Also, do not place heavy objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cable.
• When wiring or installing the Units, do not allow metal fragments to enter the Units.
• Do not press the flat-blade screwdriver straight into the release holes on a screwless clamping termi­nal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.
NG OK
• When you insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a release hole on a screwless clamping terminal block, press it down with a force of 30N or less. Applying excessive force may damage the terminal block.
• Do not incline or twist the flat-blade screwdriver while it is in a release hole on a screwless clamping terminal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.
NG NG
• Use crimp terminals for wiring the M3 screw terminal blocks. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to the M3 screw terminal blocks.
Power Supply Design
• Use all Units within the I/O power supply ranges that are given in the specifications.
• Use the I/O power supply current for the CPU Rack of the NX-series NX1P2 CPU Unit at 4 A or less. Using the currents that are outside of the specifications may cause failure or damage.
• Supply sufficient power according to the contents of this manual.
• Use the power supply voltage that is specified in this manual.
• Do not apply voltages that exceed the rated value to any Input Unit.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units or slaves in excess of the maximum rat­ings.
• Inrush current occurs when the power supply is turned ON. When selecting fuses or breakers for external circuits, consider their fusing and detection characteristics as well as the above precautions and allow sufficient margin in shut-off performance.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting and overcurrents in external wiring.
18
Turning ON the Power Supply
• When you set the Operating Mode at Startup, confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system.
NX-series System Units User’s Manual (W523)
Precautions for Safe Use
Actual Operation
• Before you start operation, always register the NX Units that are connected to the Communications Coupler Unit in the host communications master as the Unit Configuration Information.
• Check the user program, data, and parameter settings for proper execution before you use them for actual operation.
• If you change the fail-soft operation setting, the output status when the error occurs may also change. Confirm safety before you change the fail-soft operation setting.
• If you use fail-soft operation, write programming to determine whether Unit I/O data is valid. Without such programming, the user program cannot distinguish between Units for which I/O refreshing is continued and Units for which I/O refreshing is stopped.
Turning OFF the Power Supply
• Do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to the Controller or a Slave Terminal when downloading data or the user program from the Support Software.

Precautions for Correct Use

Storage, Mounting, and Wiring
• Follow the instructions in this manual to correctly perform installation and wiring.
• Do not operate or store the Units in the following locations. Doing so may result in malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.
Locations subject to direct sunlight Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the specifications Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals Locations subject to shock or vibration
• Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures during installation in the following locations.
Locations subject to strong, high-frequency noise Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity Locations close to power lines
• Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order to discharge any static build-up.
• Use the rated power supply voltage for the Units that supply power. Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied in places where the power supply is unstable.
• Install the Units away from sources of heat and ensure proper ventilation. Not doing so may result in malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.
• Do not allow foreign matter to enter the openings in the Unit. Doing so may result in Unit burning, electric shock, or failure.
Precautions for Correct Use

Regulations and Standards

Regulations and Standards

Conformance to EU Directives

Applicable Directives
• EMC Directives
• Low Voltage Directive
Concepts
EMC Directives
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.
*1. Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2 (Radiated emission: 10-m regulations).
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to 1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards. The applicable directive is EN 61010-2-201.
Conformance to EU Directives
The NX-series Units comply with EU Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the NX-series Units are used complies with EU Directives, the following precautions must be observed.
• The NX-series Units must be installed within a control panel.
• You must use SELV power supply for the DC power supplies that are connected as the Unit power supplies and I/O power supplies for the NX-series Units.
We recommend that you use the OMRON S8VK-S series Power Supplies for the CPU Racks with NX-series NX1P2 CPU Units. We recommend that you use the OMRON S8JX-series Power Sup­plies for Slave Terminals. EMC standard compliance was confirmed for these recommended Power Supplies.
• NX-series Units that comply with EU Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN 61131-2). 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 NX-series Units are used complies with EU Directives.
• You must use power supplies with an output hold time of 10 ms or longer for the DC power sup­plies that are connected as the Unit power supplies and I/O power supplies for the NX-series Units.
