General Precautions
The user must operate the product according to the performance
specifications described in this instruction sheet and in the operation
manual of the inverter.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the
inverter manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems,
railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems,
medical equipment, amusement machines, safety equipment, and other
systems, machines, and equipment that may have a serious influence on
lives and property if used improperly, consult your
representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product
are sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, and be sure to
provide the systems, machines, and equipment with double safety
mechanisms.

The MX2-A□ inverter with a mounted 3G3AX-MX2-EIO15-E option
board is a general purpose product combination. It is a system
component and is used in conjunction with other items of industrial
equipment such as PLCs.

A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be
performed by the system designer or system integrator before
including the inverter option board combination in any new or
existing system. Consult your OMRON representative
application specific system integration information if required.

The product will be used to control an adjustable speed drive
connected to high voltage sources and rotating machinery that is
inherently dangerous if not operated safely. Interlock all energy
sources, hazardous locations, and guards in order to restrict the
exposure of personnel to hazards. The adjustable speed drive may
start the motor without warning. Signs on the equipment installation
must be posted to this effect. A familiarity with auto-restart settings
is a requirement when controlling adjustable speed drives. Failure of
external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system
operation, i.e., the system may start the motor without warning or
may not stop on command. Improperly designed or improperly
installed system interlocks and permissives may render a motor
unable to start or stop on command.

This Instruction Sheet does not contain illustrations of the product
with protective covers removed from the MX2-A□ inverter. Make
sure that these protective covers are on the inverter before use.

which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. Additionally, there may be
severe property damage.
Caution Indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or

Warnings and Cautions
Do not attempt to take an option board apart
WARNING
or touch any internal parts while the power is
being supplied. Doing so may result in electric
shock.
Do not touch the conductive parts such as the
WARNING
internal PCB or connector while power is
being supplied. Doing so may result in
electrical shock.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or
WARNING
modify an option board. Any attempt to do so
may result in malfunction, fire, or electric
shock.
Wiring, maintenance or inspection must be
WARNING
performed by authorized personnel. Not doing
so may result in electrical shock or fire.
Turn OFF the power supply before performing
WARNING
wiring, maintenance or inspection. Wait for the
time specified on the Inverter front cover for
the capacitors to discharge. Not doing so may
result in electrical shock.
WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits,
i.e. not in the option board. This ensures
safety in the system if an abnormality occurs
due to malfunction of the option board or
another external factor affecting the option
board operation. Not doing so may result in
serious accidents.
Refer to the section "MX2 Inverter Safety (ISO
WARNING
13849-1)" for details if the safety measures
mentioned in the previous warning are to be
ensured using the Gate Suppress function of
the MX2-A□ inverter.
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit
WARNING
circuits, and similar safety measures must be
provided in external control circuits.
Fail-safe measures must be taken by the
WARNING
customer to ensure safety in the event of
OMRON incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused
by broken signal lines, momentary power
interruptions, or other causes. Not doing so
may result in serious accidents.
The digital outputs of the option board must
Caution
not be considered as safety related signals.
The outputs of the external safety relay must
be used for integration into a safety related
control/command circuit.
Caution Do not touch the inverter during power-on, and
immediately after power-off. Hot surface may
cause injury.

for Operating Environment Precautions
Caution Do not operate the MX2-A□ inverter with a mounted
3G3AX-MX2-EIO15-E option board in the following
locations (doing so may result in malfunction,
electric shock or 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
Caution Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures
when installing systems in the following locations
(doing so may result in malfunction):
 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 supplies
Caution The operating environment of the MX2-A□ inverter
with a mounted 3G3AX-MX2-EIO15-E option board
can have a large effect on the longevity and
reliability of the system.
environments can lead to malfunction, failure, and
other unforeseeable problems with the system.
Make sure that the operating environment is within
the specified conditions at installation and remains
within the specified conditions during the life of the
system.
■ Application Precautions
Failure to abide by the following precautions could
Caution
lead to faulty operation of the option board or the
inverter, or could damage either of the two. Always
read these precautions.
 Wire correctly using recommended cables. Incorrect wiring may
result in burning.
 Be sure that the option board is mounted correctly. Improper
mounting may result in malfunction.
 Be sure to mount the IO Connector correctly. Improper mounting may
result in malfunction.
 When replacing an inverter be sure that all inverter settings and
programs of the inverter being replaced are restored to the
replacement.
 Check the inverter's Drive Program and its interaction with the option
board before actually running it on the inverter. Not checking the
program may result in unexpected operation.
 Disconnect the grounding cable when performing withstand voltage
tests. Not disconnecting the grounding cable may result in burning.
 Do not connect an insulation tester (megger) to any terminal of the IO
connector. Doing so may damage to option board or the inverter.
 Install external breakers and take other safety measures against
short-circuits in external wiring. Not observing this may result in
burning.
 Do not allow metal clippings to enter either option board or inverter
when wiring or installing the unit.
 Do not use excessive force when connecting or disconnecting the
I/O-cable. Do not pull on the I/O-cable.
 Check that the I/O connector is wired correctly before the MX2-A□
inverter is powered on.
 Maintain the voltages and currents of the option board inputs/outputs
within specifications. Exceeding the specifications may damage the
option board or the inverter.
■ Handling, Storage and Disposal
 Before touching the option board or inverter, be sure to first touch a
grounded metallic object in order to discharge any static built-up. Not
doing so may result in malfunction or damage.
 When transporting or storing the option board, cover the PCBs with
electrically conductive materials to prevent electronic components
from being damaged by static electricity. Also keep the product within
the specified storage temperature range.
 Never dispose electrical components by incineration. Contact your
state environmental agency for details on disposal of electrical
components and packaging in your area.
■ Compliance with EC Directives
 This product complies with EC Directives when mounted on an
MX2-A□ inverter and having connected the grounding cable. For
grounding, cable selection, and any other conditions for EMC
compliance, refer to the MX2 User's Manual for installation.
■ MX2 Inverter Safety (ISO 13849-1)
 MX2-A□ inverters provide the Gate Suppress function to perform a
safe stop according to the EN60204-1, stop category 0. This option
board has been designed not to interfere with this safety function.
