zSAFETY PRECAUTIONS z

(Read these precautions before using.)

When using Mitsubishi equipment, thoroughly read this manual and the

associated manuals introduced in this manual.

Also pay careful attention to safety and handle the module properly.

These z

zSAFETY PRECAUTIONS z

zclassify the safety precautions into two

categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition

and cause death or serious injury if not carried out

properly.

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition

and cause superficial to medium injury, or physical

damage only, if not carried out properly.

Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by CAUTION may

also be linked to serious results.

In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.

Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it

whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

Install a safety circuit external to the PLC that keeps the entire system

safe even when there are problems with the external power supply or the

PLC module. Otherwise, trouble could result from erroneous output or

erroneous operation.

(1) Outside the PLC, construct mechanical damage preventing interlock

circuits such as emergency stop, protective circuits, positioning upper

and lower limits switches and interlocking forward/reverse operations.

CAUTION

DANGER

A-2

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

(2) When the PLC detects the following problems, it will stop calculation

and turn off all output in the case of (a). In the case of (b), it will stop

calculation and hold or turn off all output according to the parameter

setting.

Note that the AnS series module will turn off the output in either of

cases (a) and (b).

(a) The power supply module has over current

protection equipment and over voltage protection equipment.

(b) The PLC CPUs self-diagnosis functions, such as the watch dog

timer error, detect problems.

In addition, all output will be turned on when there are problems that

the PLC CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller. Build a fail

safe circuit exterior to the PLC that will make sure the equipment

operates safely at such times. See section 9.1 of this manual for

example fail safe circuits.

(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the outputs

module relay or transistor. So build an external monitoring circuit that

will monitor any single outputs that could cause serious trouble.

When overcurrent which exceeds the rating or caused by short-circuited

load flows in the output module for a long time, it may cause smoke or

fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as fuse.

Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply when the PLC main

module power is turned on. If the external power supply is turned on

first, it could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.

When a data link results in a communication error, the faulty station

changes in operating status depending on the used data link type.

(1) For the data link data, the data prior to the communication error will be

held.

(2) The MELSECNET (II,/B,/10) remote I/O station will turn all output off.

(3) The MELSECNET/MINI-S3 remote I/O station will hold the output or

turn all output off depending on the E.C. remote setting.

Refer to the data link manuals regarding the method for setting the

communication problem station and the operation status when there are

communication problem.

A-3

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

When connecting a peripheral device to the CPU module or connecting a

personal computer or the like to the intelligent function module to

exercise control (data change) on the running PLC, configure up an

interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the whole

system will always operate safely.

Also before exercising other control (program change, operating status

change (status control)) on the running PLC, read the manual carefully

and fully confirm safety.

Especially for the above control on the remote PLC from an external

device, an immediate action may not be taken for PLC trouble due to a

data communication fault.

In addition to configuring up the interlock circuit in the sequence program,

corrective and other actions to be taken as a system for the occurrence of

a data communication fault should be predetermined between the external

device and PLC CPU.

When configuring a system, do not leave any slots vacant on the base.

Should there be any vacant slots, always use a blank cover (A1SG60) or

dummy module (A1SG62).

When the extension base A1S52B, A1S55B or A1S58B is used, attach the

dustproof cover supplied with the product to the module installed in slot

If the cover is not attached, the module's internal parts may be

dispersed when a short-circuit test is performed or

overcurrent/overvoltage is accidentally applied to the external I/O area.

CAUTION

Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main

circuit or power wires, or install them close to each other. They should

be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so

could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

When controlling items like lamp load, heater or solenoid valve using an

output module, large current (approximately ten times greater than that

present in normal circumstances) may flow when the output is turned

OFF to ON.

Take measures such as replacing the module with one having sufficient

rated current.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Use the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications

contained in this manual. Using this PLC in an environment outside the

range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire,

erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.

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.

When installing extension cables, be sure that the connectors of base

unit are installed correctly. After installation, check them for looseness.

Poor connections could cause an input or output failure.

Correctly connect the memory cassette installation connector to the

memory cassette. After installation, be sure that the connection is not

loose. A poor connection could cause an operation failure.

Completely turn off the external power supply before loading or

unloading the module. Not doing so could result in electric shock or

damage to the product.

Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic

components. Touching the conductive parts could cause an operation

failure or give damage to the module.

A-5

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

Completely turn off the external power supply when installing or placing

wiring. Not completely turning off all power could result in electric shock

or damage to the product.

When turning on the power supply or operating the module after

installation or wiring work, be sure that the module's terminal covers are

correctly attached. Not attaching the terminal cover could result in

electric shock.

CAUTION

Be sure to ground the FG terminals and LG terminals to the protective

ground conductor. Not doing so could result in electric shock or

erroneous operation.

When wiring in the PLC, be sure that it is done correctly by checking the

product's rated voltage and the terminal layout. Connecting a power

supply that is different from the rating or incorrectly wiring the product

could result in fire or damage.

Do not connect multiple power supply modules in parallel. Doing so

could cause overheating, fire or damage to the power supply module.

External connections shall be crimped or pressure welded with the

specified tools, or correctly soldered. Imperfect connections could result

in short circuit, fires, or erroneous operation.

Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. If the terminal

screws are loose, it could result in short circuits, fire, or erroneous

operation. Tightening the terminal screws too far may cause damages to

the screws and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or

malfunction.

Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring

debris inside the module. Such debris could cause fires, damage, or

erroneous operation.

The module has an ingress prevention label on its top to prevent foreign

matter, such as wire offcuts, from entering the module during wiring.

Do not peel this label during wiring.

Before starting system operation, be sure to peel this label because of

heat dissipation.

[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

DANGER

Do not touch the terminals while power is on.

Doing so could cause shock or erroneous operation.

Correctly connect the battery.

Also, do not charge, disassemble, heat, place in fire, short circuit, or

solder the battery. Mishandling of battery can cause overheating or

cracks which could result in injury and fires.

Switch all phases of the external power supply off when cleaning the

module or retightening the terminal or module mounting screws. Not

doing so could result in electric shock.

Undertightening of terminal screws can cause a short circuit or

malfunction. Overtightening of screws can cause damages to the screws

and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.

[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

The online operations conducted for the CPU module being operated,

connecting the peripheral device (especially, when changing data or

operation status), shall be conducted after the manual has been carefully

read and a sufficient check of safety has been conducted.

Operation mistakes could cause damage or problems with of the

module.

Do not disassemble or modify the modules.

Doing so could cause trouble, erroneous operation, injury, or fire.

Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or a PHS

phone more than 25cm (9.85 inch) away from the PLC.

Not doing so can cause a malfunction.

Switch all phases of the external power supply off before mounting or

removing the module. If you do not switch off the external power supply,

it will cause failure or malfunction of the module.

Do not drop or give an impact to the battery installed in the module.
