Safety Precautions
(Read these precautions before use.)
(1)
Before installation, operation, maintenance or inspection of this product, thoroughly read through and
understand this manual and all of the associated manuals. Also, take care to handle the module properly and
safely.
This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: and .
Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by may also cause severe injury.
It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety.
Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be taken out and read whenever necessary. Always forward it
to the end user.
1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe
injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight
personal injury or physical damage.
Reference
• Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during
external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for
opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the
equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).
2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs
are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control
block, output control may be disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
3) If an overload of the 24 V DC service power supply occurs, the voltage automatically drops, inputs in the PLC
are disabled, and all outputs are turned off.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
4) Note that when an error occurs in a relay or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to
ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.

Reference
• Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the
control line at least 100 mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line.
Noise may cause malfunctions.
• Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to peripheral device connectors.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
