[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS] DANGER (2) When the PLC detects the following problems, it will stop calculation and turn off all output in the case of (a). In the case of (b), it will stop calculation and hold or turn off all output according to the parameter setting.
Page 4
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS] DANGER When connecting a peripheral device to the CPU module or connecting a personal computer or the like to the intelligent function module to exercise control (data change) on the running PLC, configure up an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the whole system will always operate safely.
Page 5
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS] CAUTION Use the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications contained in this manual. Using this PLC in an environment outside the range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product. Hold down the module loading lever at the module bottom, and securely insert the module fixing latch into the fixing hole in the base unit.
Page 6
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS] DANGER Completely turn off the external power supply when installing or placing wiring. Not completely turning off all power could result in electric shock or damage to the product. When turning on the power supply or operating the module after installation or wiring work, be sure that the module's terminal covers are correctly attached.
Page 7
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS] DANGER Do not touch the terminals while power is on. Doing so could cause shock or erroneous operation. Correctly connect the battery. Also, do not charge, disassemble, heat, place in fire, short circuit, or solder the battery. Mishandling of battery can cause overheating or cracks which could result in injury and fires.
Page 8
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS] CAUTION The online operations conducted for the CPU module being operated, connecting the peripheral device (especially, when changing data or operation status), shall be conducted after the manual has been carefully read and a sufficient check of safety has been conducted. Operation mistakes could cause damage or problems with of the module.

3. LOADING AND INSTALLATION 3.1 Installing Modules 3.1.1 Precautions for handling of modules The precautions on handling the A0J2HCPU are listed below. (1) The case of the A0J2HCPU is made of resin : do not drop it or subject it to strong impact.
3.1.3 Precautions relating to the installation of the module When installing the PC on an operation panel or other base, due consideration must be given to operability, maintainability, and resistance to environmental conditions. (1) Installation site (a) In order to allow good ventilation, and to ensure the module can be replaced easily, provide the following clearances between the module and structural elements or other equipment.

Page 18
(2) Installing orientation (a) Since the PC generates heat it must be used in the orientation that permits good ventilation, shown below. (b) Do not install it in the orientations shown below. Vertical mount Horizontal mount (3) The A0J2HCPU module must be mounted on a flat surface. An uneven mounting surface can cause undue stress to the PCBs, and could lead to malfunctions.
3.2 Failsafe Circuits When the programmable controller power is switched ON/OFF, abnormal processing outputs may occur temporarily due to a delay time between the controller's power supply and the external power supply (particularly DC power) for processing, and due to a start-up time difference. For example, a momentary erroneous output will occur from a DC output module if the programmable controller power is switched ON after the processing power (external power supply) is switched ON.

(2) Failsafe measures for PC failure Although programmable controller CPU and memory failures are detected by a self-diagnosis function, there are cases where malfunctions at the input/output control area, etc., cannot be detected by the CPU. Although the operation at such times depends in part on the nature of the malfunction, there may be cases where an all-points ON or all-points OFF condition occurs, making it impossible to ensure normal and safe execution of the operation being controlled.
3.3.2 Cable specifications This section describes specifications of the I/O and extension cables to be used for the A0J2HCPU system. (1) I/O cable specifications Table 3.2 shows specifications of the I/O cables to be used for the A0J2HCPU system. Select I/O cable according to module mounting method. Table 3.2 I/O Cable Specifications Type A0J2C01...
POINTS (a) When connecting the CPU module and I/O modules, the overall distance of the I/O cable must not be made longer than 6.6 m (21.65ft). If a length of I/O cable longer than this is used, erroneous outputs may be made to the output units.
3.3.3 Power supply connection The information on wiring that you should be aware of when using the system is given below. The following cautions must be observed when wiring the power line and input/output lines. (1) Wiring of power source (a) If voltage variations are greater than the specification, connect a constant voltage transformer.
Page 26
(e) The 100 VAC, 200 VAC, 24 VDC cables should be twisted as tightly as possible, with the distance between the connected modules as short as possible. (f) A thick cable (max. 2 mm ) should be used for the 100 VAC, 200 VAC, 24 VDC cables to minimize voltage drop.
Page 27
(3) Wiring of I/O equipment (a) The applicable size of wire to the terminal block connector is 0.75 to 2 . However, you are recommended to use wires of 0.75 mm convenience. (b) Run the input line and output line along separate rotes. (c) I/O signal wires must be at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) away from high-voltage and large-current main circuit wires.
3.3.4 Connection to module terminals This section describes the wiring of power lines and grounding lines to CPU modules, I/O modules, and extension base units. (1) A0J2HCPU A0J2HCPU module 100/110 VAC Connect to 24 VDC terminal of I/O module which requires 24 VDC internally.
Page 29
POINTS (1) The 100/200 VAC and 24 VDC cables should be as thick as possible (max. 2 mm ), and should be twisted from the connected terminal. In order to prevent shorting at the solderless terminals due to loose screws, use solderless terminals with insulation sleeves. (2) If the LG and FG terminals are connected, be sure to ground the connection.
(2) A0J2H-DC24 A0J2H-DC24 Fuse 24 VDC AC DC I/O module (A0J2-E28 ) + 24V Grounding line Ground 3.4 Precaution when Connecting the Uninterruptive Power Supply (UPS) Be sure of the following items when connecting the ACPU system to the uninterruptive power supply (abbreviated as UPS hereafter) : Use a UPS which employs the constant inverter power supply method with 5% or less voltage fluctuation.
