[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

Create a safety circuit outside the PLC to ensure the whole system will

operate safely even if an external power failure or a PLC failure occurs.

Otherwise, incorrect output or malfunction may cause an accident.

(1) For an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit and interlock circuit that

is designed for incompatible actions such as forward/reverse rotation or

for damage prevention such as the upper/lower limit setting in

positioning, any of them must be created outside the PLC.

(2) When the PLC detects the following error conditions, it stops the

operation and turn off all the outputs.

The overcurrent protection device or overvoltage protection device of

the power supply module is activated.

The PLC CPU detects an error such as a watchdog timer error by the

self-diagnostics function.

In the case of an error of a part such as an I/O control part that cannot

be detected by the PLC CPU, all the outputs may turn on. In order to

make all machines operate safely in such a case, set up a fail-safe circuit

or a specific mechanism outside the PLC.

Refer to "LOADING AND INSTALLATION" in this manual for example

fail safe circuits.

DANGER

CAUTION

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

(3) Depending on the failure of the output module’s relay or transistor, the

output status may remain ON or OFF incorrectly. For output signals that

may lead to a serious accident, create an external monitoring circuit.

If load current more than the rating or overcurrent due to a short circuit

in the load has flowed in the output module for a long time, it may

cause a fire and smoke. Provide an external safety device such as a

fuse.

Design a circuit so that the external power will be supplied after

power-up of the PLC.

Activating the external power supply prior to the PLC may result in an

accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.

For the operation status of each station at a communication error in

data link, refer to the respective data link manual.

The communication error may result in an accident due to incorrect

output or malfunction.

When controlling a running PLC (data modification) by connecting a

peripheral device to the CPU module or a PC to a special function module,

create an interlock circuit on sequence programs so that the whole system

functions safely all the time.

Also, before performing any other controls (e.g. program modification,

operating status change (status control)), read the manual carefully and

ensure the safety.

In these controls, especially the one from an external device to a PLC in a

remote location, some PLC side problem may not be resolved immediately

due to failure of data communications.

To prevent this, create an interlock circuit on sequence programs and

establish corrective procedures for communication failure between the

external device and the PLC CPU.

For the redundant power supply system, use the A37RHB redundant power

supply main base unit and the A68RB redundant power supply extension

base unit.

When using an old model, A3 B, A5 B or A6 B, set the output hold/reset

setting switch on the CPU module to the output reset mode. Inadvertently

using it in the output hold mode may result in an accident due to incorrect

output and/or malfunctions.

When setting up the system, do not allow any empty slot on the base unit.

If any slot is left empty, be sure to use a blank cover (A1SG60) or a dummy

module (A1SG62) for it.

When using the extension base unit, A52B, A55B or A58B, attach the

included dustproof cover to the module in slot 0.

Otherwise, internal parts of the module may be flied in the short circuit test or

when an overcurrent or overvoltage is accidentally applied to external I/O

section.

A-3

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the

main circuit or power lines, or bring them close to each other.

Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94inch) or more between them.

Failure to do so may cause malfunctions due to noise.

If having read register R outside the allowable range with the MOV

instruction, the file register data will be FFFFH. Using this as it is may cause

malfunctions. Pay attention not to use any out-of-range file register when

designing sequence programs. For instruction details, refer to the

programming manual.

When an output module is used to control the lamp load, heater, solenoid

valve, etc., a large current (ten times larger than the normal one) may flow at

the time that the output status changes from OFF to ON. Take some

preventive measures such as replacing the output module with the one of a

suitable current rating.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Use the PLC under the environment specified in the user’s manual.

Otherwise, it may cause electric shocks, fires, malfunctions, product

deterioration or damage.

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.

Incorrect loading of the module can cause a malfunction, failure or drop.

When using the PLC in the environment of much vibration, tighten the

module with a screw.

Tighten the screw in the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause a

drop, short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening can cause a drop, short

circuit or malfunction due to damage to the screw or module.

Connect the extension cable to the connector of the base unit or module.

Check the cable for incomplete connection after connecting it.

Poor electrical contact may cause incorrect inputs and/or outputs.

Insert the memory card and fully press it to the memory card connector.

Check for incomplete connection after installing it.

Poor electrical contact may cause malfunctions.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the

system before mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may

damage the module.

Do not directly touch the conductive part or electronic components of the

module.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or a failure of the module.
