This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have knowl-
edge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent) and instru-
mentation systems (a process 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 specifications
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, amusement ma-
chines, safety equipment, petrochemical plants, and other systems, machines,
and equipment 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 programming and operating the Loop Con-
troller. Be sure to read this manual before attempting to use the Loop Controller
and keep this manual close at hand for reference during operation.
It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units/Boards 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 a PLC System to the above-mentioned
applications.
Check the following items before starting to run the LCBjj:
• Do not allow the bank of the EM Area with the number specified for allocation to
the HMI (human-machine interface) data to be used by the CPU Unit or other
Units for any other purpose. The block allocated for the HMI is specified in
ITEM 050 (EM Area Bank Allocated for HMI Memory = 0 to 12) of the System
Common block. If areas overlap, the system may operate in an unexpected
fashion, which may result in injury.
• Do not allow the area to which user link table data is written to be used by the
CPU Unit or other Units for any other purpose. If areas overlap, the system
may operate in an unexpected fashion, which may result in injury.
• Analog Input/Output Units used in combination with the LCBjj must be
mounted correctly, and the unit number set on the front panel of the Analog
Input/Output Unit must match the unit number set on the Field Terminal block.
If the unit numbers do not match, input/output (read/write) is performed on the
data of another Special I/O Unit (i.e., the one whose unit number is set on the
Field Terminal block).
• The defaults of the System Common block on the LCBjj must be set correct-
ly.
