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.

Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in
the User's Manual (Hardware) for the CPU module to be used.
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

), 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.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

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

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

The dust proof sheet should be affixed to the ventilation slits before
installation and wiring work to block foreign objects such as cutting and wiring
debris. However, when the installation work is completed, make sure to
remove the sheet to provide adequate ventilation. 
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Install the product on a flat surface.
If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the PC board,
thereby causing nonconformities.

Install the product securely using a DIN rail or mounting screws.

Connect the extension cables 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

Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause
malfunction.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to malfunction of the PLC caused
by abnormal data written to the PLC due to the effects of noise:

- Do not bundle the power line and communication cables together with or 

lay them close to the main circuit, high-voltage line, load line or power line. 
As a guideline, lay the power line, control line and communication cables 
at least 100 mm away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, load line or 
power line.

3.2 Grounding

Ground the PLC as stated below.

Perform class D grounding. (Grounding resistance: 100 

 or less)

Ground the PLC independently if possible.
If the PLC cannot be grounded independently, perform the "Shared grounding"
shown below. 
For details, refer to the following manual.



DESIGN
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe
system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.

- Most importantly, set up 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).

- Note that when the CPU module 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 CPU module 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.

For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to
manuals relevant to the network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a
communication failure may result in an accident. 

Construct an interlock circuit in the program so that the whole system always
operates on the safe side before executing the control (for data change) of the
PLC in operation. Read the manual thoroughly and ensure complete safety before
executing other controls (for program change, parameter change, forcible output
and operation status change) of the PLC in operation. Otherwise, the machine
may be damaged and accidents may occur due to erroneous operations.

Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external
device, immediate action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the
programmable controller due to a communication failure. To prevent this,
configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions to
be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a
communication failure.

If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting
in a communication failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the
program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely even if
communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.

To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against
unauthorized access from external devices via the network, take appropriate
measures. To maintain the safety against unauthorized access via the Internet,
take measures such as installing a firewall.

DESIGN
PRECAUTIONS

Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the CPU module and
extension modules.

STARTUP AND 
MAINTENANCE 
PRECAUTIONS

Do not disassemble or modify the PLC.
Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions.
For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.

Do not drop the product or exert strong impact to it.
Doing so may cause damage.

DISPOSAL 
PRECAUTIONS

Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the

environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.

TRANSPORTATION 
PRECAUTIONS

The product is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger
than those specified in the general specifications by using dedicated packaging
boxes and shock-absorbing palettes.
Failure to do so may cause failures in the product. After transportation, verify
operation of the product and check for damage of the mounting part, etc.
