Precautions for Safe Use
- When transporting this product, use special packing boxes and protect it from being to excessive vibration or impact during transportation.
- Mount the Units securely using DIN track.
- Always separate cables by at least 5 mm to prevent unstable operation due to interference. Do not bundle cables.
- Make sure that the terminal blocks, communications cables, and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may result in malfunction.
- Do not extend connection distances or the number of connected nodes beyond the ranges given in the EtherCAT specifications.
- Do not allow foreign matter to enter this product.
- Always use the specified communications cables and connectors.
- Confirm the polarity of all terminals before wiring them.
- Always use the power supply voltage specified in the instruction manual. An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.
- Do not bend cables past their natural bending radius or pull on cables.

- Separate the communications cables from the power lines or high-tension
- Do not bend the communications cables past their natural bending radius.
- Do not pull on the communications cables.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the communications cables.
- Always lay communications cable inside ducts.
- Be sure to ground when installing the unit.
- Turn off the power of Controller and all slaves before wiring the communication
- Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
- Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuiting may result in burning.
- Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes.
- Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the Unit. Not checking the program may result in unexpected operation.
- Check all wiring and switch settings to be sure they are correct.
Precautions for Correct Use
- Install correctly according to instructions in the instruction manual. Improper installation of the Unit may result in malfunction.
- Do not drop any Unit or subject any Unit to excessive shock or vibration. Otherwise, Unit failure or malfunction may occur.
- Do not operate the control system in the following locations:
- Locations subject to direct sunlight.
- Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the specifications.
- Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature.
- Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
- Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
- Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, acid, or chemicals.
- Locations subject to shock or vibration.
- Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the following locations:
- Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
- Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
- Locations close to power lines.
- Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
- Wire all connections correctly according to instructions in the instruction manual.
- Use the correct wiring materials to wire the Units.
- Confirm voltage specifications when wiring communications, the power supply. Incorrect wiring may result in malfunction.
- Please pull out the connector inserted in Port 4,5,6 at first when all the ports of GX-JC06 is used.
- Default node setting is 0, please set the node by tool.
- Please do not connect EtherCAT Junction unit with OMRON position control unit, Model CJ1W-NC□81/ □82.
