DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to include the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during external power supply
problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Above all, the following components should be included: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for
opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the equipment at the
upper and lower positioning limits).
2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are turned off.
Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be
disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
3) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe
machinery operation in such a case.
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at least
100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line.
Noise may cause malfunctions.
• Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not ground them at the same point as the
high-voltage lines.
Noise may cause malfunctions.
• Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the terminal blocks.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.
TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS
• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger than those specified in the general specifications of the
PLC main unit manual.
Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC.
After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.
