  • Page 10: Precautions

    This section provides general precautions for using the ZEN Programmable Relay. The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable application of the ZEN. You must read this section and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate the ZEN.
  • Page 11: Safety Precautions

    • The ZEN outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transis- tors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
  • Page 12: Application Precautions

    • Always turn ON power to the ZEN before turning ON power to the I/O circuits. If the ZEN power supply is turned ON after the I/ O power supply, temporary errors may result in operation.

    Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected operation. Handling • Use, store, and transport the ZEN under the limits given for gen- eral specifications in this manual. • Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units. Any attempt to do so may result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Transportation and Storage • Use special packaging boxes when transporting the ZEN and do not subject it to excessive shock or vibration or drop it during shipment.
  • Page 15: Operating Environment Precautions

    • Where the ZEN is exposed to direct sunlight. • Where the ambient temperature or humidity is beyond the speci- fied ranges. • Where the ZEN may be affected by condensation due to radical temperature changes. • Where there is any corrosive or inflammable gas.

  • Page 144: Ladder Program Execution

    Executing Ladder Programs ZEN executes up to 96 lines of a ladder program in one cycle from first to last line. Start- ing from the first line of the bus bar, the ZEN repeatedly executes each line from left to right.
  • Page 145 Ladder Program Execution Ladder Program Execution Time Refer to the following table for ZEN execution times. The execution times are provided as a guide. External factors, button operations, execution of ZEN Support Software oper- ations, and timing of the processing affects the actual processing times. The cycle time is the sum of the common processing time, the processing time taken when Expansion I/ O Units are connected, and the ladder program execution time.

In this example, two circulation fans are operated at set intervals. The starting current is kept to a minimum and, as a result, the circulation fans are set to start operating at differ- ent times.
  • Page 151 Greenhouse Air Circulation Control (2/3) (Calendar Timer and Weekly Timer) Application The ZEN can be used to operate circulation fans during winter nights only. In this example, the circulation fans operate only at night (19:00 to 6:00) during winter (November 15 to March 20).
