Safety Precautions - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-L Series LD40PD01 User Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle
the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable
controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: "
WARNING
CAUTION
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under "
consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" (R) of the buffer memory in the
intelligent function module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the
programmable controller CPU to the intelligent function module. Doing so may cause malfunction of
the programmable controller system.
● Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a transistor for external output. Configure an external
circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.
● When changing data and operating status of the running module from an external device such as a
personal computer connected, configure an interlock circuit external to the programmable controller to
ensure that the entire system always operates safely.
In addition, before performing online operations, determine corrective actions to be taken between the
external device and the module in case of a communication failure due to poor contact of cables.
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 150mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
