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. Refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual for a description of the PLC system safety precautions.
Page 4 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. (1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured external to the programmable controller.
Page 5 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
Page 6 [Design Precautions] CAUTION ● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Doing so may result in malfunction due to electromagnetic interference. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between those cables. ●...
Page 7 Also, attach an extension connector protective cover to each unused extension cable connector as necessary. Directly touching any conductive parts of the connectors while power is on may result in electric shock. *1 For details, please consult your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.
Page 8 ● Mitsubishi Electric programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock.
Page 9 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] WARNING ● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. ● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury or fire.
Page 10 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] CAUTION ● Do not drop or apply shock to the battery to be installed in the module. Doing so may damage the battery, causing the battery fluid to leak inside the battery. If the battery is dropped or any shock is applied to it, dispose of it without using.
Page 11 The personal computer can be connected to the module without taking specific measures. For details, refer to the following. Precautions on connecting a Mitsubishi Electric PLC or GOT to a personal computer via an RS-232/ USB interface (FA-D-0298) When the USB cable used is the GT09-C30USB-5P manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric, specific measures are not required to connect the AC-powered personal computer to the module.

Page 25: Starting/Ending Of Synchronous Control
Precautions • Mechanical elements such as limit switches are considered as already installed. • Parameter settings for positioning control apply to all controls with the Motion module. • Be sure to execute the home position return when the home position return request flag is ON. Starting/ending of synchronous control Set the advanced synchronous control parameters for each output axis to start synchronous control.
Page 26 Starting method for synchronous control Synchronous control can be started by turning the target axis bit from OFF to ON in "[Cd.380] Synchronous control start" after setting the advanced synchronous control parameters. "5: Analyzing" is set in "[Md.26] Axis operation status" at the synchronous control start, and the advanced synchronous control parameters are analyzed.
Page 27 • If bit for multiple axes are turned ON simultaneously in "[Cd.380] Synchronous control start", control is not started simultaneously since the analysis is processed for each axis in numerical order. When the multiple axes must be started simultaneously, start the input axis operation after confirming that all axes are configured for the synchronous control.
Page 28: Stop Operation Of Output Axis
Stop operation of output axis If the following causes occur in stopping the output axis during synchronous control, synchronous control is completed after stops processing for the output axis (BUSY signal is OFF, axis operation status is standby). Synchronous alignment must be executed for the output axis to restart the synchronous control (Page 122 Output Axis Module).
Page 29 Deceleration stop The output axis decelerates to a stop according to the setting in "[Pr.37] Stop group 1 rapid stop selection" to "[Pr.39] Stop group 3 rapid stop selection".
