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. In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: "...
Page 3
[Design Precautions] WARNING When there are communication problems with the data link, the communication problem station will enter the following condition. Build an interlock circuit into the sequence program that will make sure the system operates safely by using the communication state information. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.
Page 4
[Installation Precautions] CAUTION Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specificaitons contained in CPU module user’s manual. Using this programmable controller 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.
Page 5
[Wiring Precautions] WARNING Before installation or wiring, be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system and the one for the network (A1SJ71QLP21S). Failure to do so may cause electric shocks or damage the product. CAUTION Always connect the FG terminals to the ground using class D (class 3) or higher grounding exclusively designed for programmable controller.

5. WIRING 5.1 Precautions for Laying Optical Fiber Cables (1) The optical fiber cable type that can be used differs depending on the station to station distance. Type Distance between stations SI optical fiber cable 500m (1640.5 ft.) H-PCF optical fiber cable 1000m (3281 ft.) Broad-band H-PCF optical fiber cable 1000m (3281 ft.)
(6) Connect the cable connector and module connector securely until you hear a "click" sound. (7) Please wire IN/OUT of the connector for the cable correctly. Please do loopback test, the set confirmation test, and the bureau order confirmation test after wiring. It might be generated that a baton abnormal passing cannot be generated when miswiring and the downed bureau which cannot do the loopback of an arbitrary bureau do the row again even by the reclosing of the power supply.

(8) Do not pull any of the connected coaxial cables. This will cause a faulty contact, cable disconnection, or damage to the module. (9) Make sure to connect a terminal resistor to both terminal stations of the coaxial bus type network system. (10) A white oxide, which may be deposited on the F-type connector depending on the operating environment, is not producted in the fitting portion, posing no functional problems.
5.2.3 Connecting the Connector for the Coaxial Cables The following section explains how to connect the BNC connector (connector plug for the coaxial cable) to the cable. (1) Structure of the BNC connector and coaxial cable The structure of the BNC connector and coaxial cable are shown in the figure below.

(c) Cut the external conductor, insulation material and internal conductor to the dimensions shown below. However, cut the external conductor to the same dimension as the tapered section of the clamp and smooth it down to the clamp.
