[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
● Startup and maintenance of a control panel must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel
with knowledge of protection against electric shock. Lock the control panel so that only qualified
maintenance personnel can operate it.
● Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the
static electricity from the human body. Wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap is recommended.
Failure to discharge the static electricity may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● After unpacking, eliminate static electricity from the module to prevent electrostatic discharge from
affecting the module. If an electrostatically charged module comes in contact with a grounded metal
object, a sudden electrostatic discharge of the module may cause failure. For details on how to
eliminate static electricity from the module, refer to the following.
Antistatic Precautions Before Using MELSEC iQ-R Series Products (FA-A-0368)
● Use a clean and dry cloth to wipe off dirt on the module.
[Operating Precautions]
CAUTION
● When changing data and operating status, and modifying program of the running programmable
controller from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent function
module, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before operation. Incorrect change or
modification may cause system malfunction, damage to the machines, or accidents.
● Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the setting values in the
buffer memory are being written to the flash ROM in the module. Doing so will make the data in the
flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values need to be set in the buffer memory and
written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the
module.
