Please carry out Daily Checking and Regular Checking to maintain PLC in best condition.
12.1 Repair and Checking
As I/O module is mainly consisted of semiconductor elements, the life seems to be semi-permanent. But the
error in the elements may occur by surrounding environment and thus the regular checking is needed. For the
items to check 1~2 times every 6 months, please refer to the following table.
Checking items Judgment basis Actions
