WARNING
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals for
each network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an
accident.
● When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the CPU module during operation,
configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate
safely. For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as program modification or
operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before the
operation. Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable
controller, immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine
corrective actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a
communication failure.
● An absolute position restoration by the positioning function may turn off the servo-on signal (servo
off) for approximately 20ms, and the motor may run unexpectedly. If this causes a problem, provide
an electromagnetic brake to lock the motor during absolute position restoration.
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection). Failure to
do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
● To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint
levers. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.
