OPENNET CONTROLLER USER’S MANUAL PREFACE-1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Read this user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and
inspection of the OpenNet Controller.
• All OpenNet Controller modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add a
backup or failsafe provision to the control system using the OpenNet Controller in applications where heavy damage or
personal injury may be caused in case the OpenNet Controller should fail.
• In this user’s manual, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance to Warning and Caution:
• Turn off the power to the OpenNet Controller before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of
the OpenNet Controller. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
• Special expertise is required to install, wire, program, and operate the OpenNet Controller. People without such expertise
must not use the
OpenNet Controller.
• Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the
OpenNet Controller. If such a circuit is configured
inside the OpenNet Controller, failure of the OpenNet Controller may cause disorder of the control system, damage, or
accidents.
• Install the OpenNet Controller according to instructions described in this user’s manual. Improper installation will result in
falling, failure, or malfunction of the OpenNet Controller.
• The OpenNet Controller is designed for installation in a cabinet. Do not install the OpenNet Controller outside a cabinet.
• Install the OpenNet Controller in environments described in this user’s manual. If the OpenNet Controller is used in places
where the OpenNet Controller is subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive
vibrations, and excessive shocks, then electrical shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction will result.
• The environment for using the OpenNet Controller is “Pollution degree 2.” Use the OpenNet Controller in environments of
pollution degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1).
• The DC power applicable to the OpenNet Controller is “PS2” type (according to EN 61131).
• Prevent the OpenNet Controller from falling while moving or transporting the OpenNet Controller, otherwise damage or
malfunction of the OpenNet Controller will result.
• Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the OpenNet Controller housing. Put a cover on the Open-
Net Controller
modules during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage,
or malfunction.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Use of a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• Use wires of a proper size to meet voltage and current requirements. Tighten terminal screws to a proper tightening torque
of 0.5 to 0.6 N·m.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the power line outside the OpenNet Controller. This is required when equipment con-
taining the
OpenNet Controller is destined for Europe.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the output circuit. This is required when equipment containing the
OpenNet Controller
is destined for Europe.
• Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when equipment containing the
OpenNet Controller is destined for
Europe.
• Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the
OpenNet Controller or when operating the OpenNet Controller to force
outputs on or off. Incorrect operation on the OpenNet Controller may cause machine damage or accidents.
• If relays or transistors in the OpenNet Controller output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off. For output sig-
nals which may cause heavy accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside the OpenNet Controller.
• Do not connect to the ground directly from the OpenNet Controller. Connect a protective ground to the cabinet containing
OpenNet Controller using an M4 or larger screw. This is required when equipment containing the OpenNet Controller is
destined for Europe.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the OpenNet Controller modules.
• Dispose of the battery in the
OpenNet Controller modules when the battery is dead in accordance with pertaining regula-
tions. When storing or disposing of the battery, use a proper container prepared for this purpose. This is required when
equipment containing the OpenNet Controller is destined for Europe.
• When disposing of the
OpenNet Controller, do so as an industrial waste.
Warning
Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause
severe personal injury or death.
Caution
Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or
damage to equipment.
