This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have
knowledge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).
• Personnel in charge of installing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of designing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities.
The user must operate the product according to the performance specifica-
tions described in the operation manuals.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the
manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems,
aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical equipment, amuse-
ment machines, safety equipment, and other systems, machines, and equip-
ment that may have a serious influence on lives and property if used
improperly, consult your OMRON 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.
This manual provides information for using the MC Unit. Be sure to read this
manual before attempting to use the Unit and keep this manual close at hand
for reference during operation.
It is extreme important that Motion Control Units and related devices be used
for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in
applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult
with your OMRON representative before applying Motion Control Units and
related devices to the above mentioned applications.
Never attempt to disassemble any Units while power is being supplied. Doing
so may result in serious electrical shock or electrocution.
Never touch any of the terminals while power is being supplied. Doing so may
result in serious electrical shock or electrocution.
Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable
Controller or MC Unit) to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs
due to malfunction of the CPU Unit, malfunction of the MC Unit, or external
factors affecting the operation of the CPU Unit or MC Unit. Not providing suffi-
cient safety measures may result in serious accidents.
• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
• The CPU Unit will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function
detects any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is exe-
cuted. As a countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures
must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
