The CPU Unit refreshes I/O even when the program is stopped (i.e., even in PRO-
GRAM mode). Confirm safety thoroughly in advance before changing the status of
any part of memory allocated to I/O Units, Special I/O Units, or CPU Bus Units. Any
changes to the data allocated to any Unit specifically the Special I/O Units/CPU Bus
Units may result in unexpected operation of the loads connected to the Unit.
• Transferring I/O memory data to the CPU Unit with a Programming Device (PC

• Changing present values in memory with a Programming Device.
• Force-setting/-resetting bits with a Programming Device.
• Transferring I/O memory files from a memory card or EM file memory to the CPU
Unit.
• Transferring I/O memory from a host computer or from another PLC on a network.
Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event of
incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary
