Warning Indications

WARNING
Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart. In particular, high-voltage parts are present in the Unit that supplies power while power is supplied or immediately after power is turned OFF. Touching any of these parts may result in electric shock. There are also sharp internal parts that may cause injury.
Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the CPU Unit , Industrial PC, other Units, or slaves or due to other external factors affecting operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.

1. Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures must be provided in external control circuits.

2. The CPU Unit and Industrial PC will turn OFF all outputs from Basic Output Units in the following cases.
   The remote I/O slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.
   If an error occurs in the power supply
   If the power supply connection becomes faulty
   If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs
   If a major fault level Controller error occurs
   While the CPU Unit is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is turned ON
   External safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system in such cases.

3. The Controller outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.

4. If external power supplies for slaves or other devices are overloaded or short-circuited, the voltage will drop, outputs will turn OFF, and the system may be unable to read inputs. Provide external safety measures in controls with monitoring of external power supply voltage as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.

5. You must take fail-safe measures to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes. Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.

Make sure that the voltages and currents that are input to the Units and slaves are within the specified ranges.
Inputting voltages or currents that are outside of the specified ranges may damage the Unit or cause fire.
Always confirm safety at the destination before you transfer the Unit configuration information, parameters, set values, or other data from the Sysmac Studio or other Support 2Software. The devices or machines may perform unexpected 2 operation regardless of the operating mode of the CPU Unit.
CAUTION
When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Communications Coupler Unit that has a non-isolated DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) or do not ground it at all.
If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) may be short-circuited.
Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused by deviations in the timing of I/O. If you perform online editing, the task execution time may exceed the task period, I/O may not be refreshed with external devices, input signals may not be read, and output timing may change.
