3. Wiring

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.

Make sure to affix the expansion board with tapping screws.
Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.

Use screwdrivers carefully when performing installation work, thus avoiding
accident or product damage.

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.

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe
system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection

circuit, an interlock circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs.
reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the equipment
at the upper and lower positioning limits).

2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer

error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that
cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block,
output control may be disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe
machinery operation in such a case.

3) If an overload of the 24 V DC service power supply occurs, the voltage

automatically drops, inputs in the PLC are disabled, and all outputs are turned
off.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe
machinery operation in such a case.

4) Note that when an error occurs in a transistor output device, the output could

be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and
mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such
a case.

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or
power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100 mm (3.94") or more
away from the main circuit or power line.
Noise 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.

 

3.1 Applicable Cable and Terminal Tightening Torque

3.1.1

Terminal block (European type)

1) Wire size

Wiring to input device should use 22 to 20 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 stick terminal with insulating 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 exceeding the specified torque. Failure to do so may cause equipment
failures or malfunctions.

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

Connect the DC power supply to the dedicated terminals specified in the
manual of the PLC main unit.
If an AC power supply is connected to a DC input/output terminal or DC
power supply terminal, the PLC will burn out.

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 wire vacant terminals externally.
Doing so may damage the product.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent
malfunctions under the influence of noise:

- Do not bundle the power line or input line 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 or high-voltage lines.

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.

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")).

3.3 Grounding

Grounding should be performed as stated below.

The grounding resistance should be 100 

 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.



FX

3G

 Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition

The grounding wire size should be AWG 22 to 20 (0.3 to 0.5 mm

2

).

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

4. Device allocation and program example

4.1 Device allocation

Each output of 2EYT-BD is allocated a special auxiliary relay.
The ON/OFF state of each output is reflected in its corresponding special auxiliary
relay.

4.2 Program example

Turn the special auxiliary relay allocated to each output ON and OFF by program
of PLC.

4.3 Caution on Creation of Programs

When the END instruction of the program is executed, the output process is
completed. The interruption output processing of HSCS, and HSCR, etc. are not
carried out.
Output refreshing by REF instruction can not be done.

Do not use the special auxiliary relay for an instruction by which the bit device is of
three points or more such as comparison result of the CMP instruction and
comparison result of the ZCP instruction is occupied.
Do not use the special auxiliary relays for the operand of each application
instruction as data. (K1M8116 and K2M8116, etc.)
