Attention

Caution for EC Directive

The analog expansion boards have been found to be compliant to the 
European standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the 
very best performance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled 
output device Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered 
carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), 
these users should follow those manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other 
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss or 
accuracy between ±10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are 
followed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy 
as specified in this manual.

Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible users should run analog
cables separately.

Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth 
- ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.

When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved out by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the
analog expansion boards or through a users program in the PLC main unit.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting
installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in PLC
main unit manual (Hardware Edition).
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke, conductive dusts,
corrosive gas (salt air, Cl

2

, H

2

S, SO

2

, or NO

2

), flammable gas, vibration or

impacts, or expose it to high temperature, condensation, or rain and wind.
If the product is used in such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions,
deterioration or damage may occur.

When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does not
enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly. 
Doing so may cause device failures or malfunctions.

Connect expansion board securely to their designated connectors.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting
installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does not
enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to
the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the PLC under the
influence of noise:

1) Do not bundle the power line or shield of the analog input/output cable together

with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line, or load line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As
a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the
main circuit, high-voltage line or load line.

2) Ground the shield of the analog input/output cable at one point on the signal

receiving side. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical
systems.

Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in accordance
with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire
breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.

- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in 

the manual.

- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
- Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of 

unspecified size.

- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected 

parts are directly stressed.

Make sure to properly wire to the terminal blocks in accordance with the following
precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire
breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.

- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in 

the manual.

- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.

3.1 Applicable Cable and Terminal Tightening Torque

3.1.1

Terminal block (European type)

1) Wire size

Wiring to analog device should use 20-22 AWG wire.

2) Applicable cable

3) Termination of cable end

Strip the coating of strand wire and twist the cable core before connecting it,
or strip the coating of single wire before connecting it.
An alternative connection is to use a ferrule with insulating sleeve.
<Reference>

*1 Old model name: CRIMPFOX ZA 3
*2 Old model name: CRIMPFOX UD 6

When using a ferrule with insulation sleeve, choose a wire with proper cable
sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, or otherwise, the wire
cannot be inserted easily.
The tightening torque must be 0.22 to 0.25 N

m. Do not tighten terminal

screws with a torque outside the above-mentioned range. Failure to do so may
cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

4) Tool

For tightening the terminal, use a 
commercially available small 
screwdriver having a straight form that is 
not widened toward the end as shown 
right.

Caution:

If the diameter of screwdriver grip is too 
small, tightening torque will not be able 
to be achieved. Use the following recommended screwdriver or an
appropriate replacement (grip diameter: approximately 25 mm (0.98")).

3.2.1

Cautions

1) Make sure to short-circuit the 'V

…

+' and 'VI-' terminals when ch is not used.

2) Use 2-core shielded twisted pair cable for the analog input lines, and

separate the analog input lines from other power lines or inductive lines.

3) The grounding resistance should be 100 

Ω

 or less.

3.3 Grounding

Grounding should be performed as stated below.

The grounding resistance should be 100 

Ω

 or less.

Independent grounding should be performed for best results.
When independent grounding is not performed, perform "shared grounding" of
the following figure.
For details, refer to the following manual.

).

The grounding point should be close to the PLC, and all grounding wire should
be as short as possible.
