Page 21
Precautions for Handling Creation of sequence programs When creating a sequence program, be careful of the following. If exchanging data between devices with different scan time, the length of time required for a reliable signal reading process is greater than the longer scan time. (In order to safely perform the reading process on the PLC side, we recommend using a timer set value of at least twice the longer scan time.)
Page 22
Precautions for Handling 10. PLC Timer Setting Do not have the PLC timer setting to be done with the minimum setting. Setting to “1” for 100ms timer turns ON at the timing from 0 to 100ms while 10ms timer from 0 to 10ms for some PLC.
Precautions for PC connection to Controller grounded at positive terminal of 24V DC power supply Precautions for PC connection to Controller grounded at positive terminal of 24V DC power supply Use the SIO isolator (RCB-ISL-SIO) in order to connect a PC on the SIO connector on the controller when the positive side of the 24V DC power supply is grounded.

Page 361
9.3 Example of Basic Positioning Sequence (PIO Pattern 0 to 3) [14] Other Display Circuits (Zone 1, Position Zone, and Manual Mode) Reference ● Programs and functions of PLC are expressed differently depending on manufacturers. However, the contents of sequence designs do not vary fundamentally. Though arithmetic and data processing commands seem differently, any manufacturer defines command words executing the same functions as those of other manufacturers.
Do not change the setting of push speed (parameter No.34). If you must change the push speed, consult IAI. ● If, among the operating conditions, the positioning speed is set to a value equal to or smaller than the push speed, the push speed will become the set speed and the specified push force will not generate.
