[Design Precautions]
• For the operation status of each station at communication error in each station, refer to the
respective manual for each station.
The communication error may result in an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.
• When changing data of a running programmable controller from a peripheral connected to the
CPU module or from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent
function module, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system
will always operate safely.
For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as program modification or
operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before the
operation.
Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,
immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and
determine corrective actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case
of a communication failure.
