4. SETUP AND PROCEDURES PRIOR TO OPERATION
Chapter 4 SETUP AND PROCEDURES PRIOR TO OPERATION
The following describes the setup and procedures to be executed prior to operation,
names of parts, wiring, and the like for a system that uses the RFID interface module.
Point
(1) When using the RFID interface module, be sure to review the
Safety
Precautions
provided in the beginning of this manual.
(2) The mounting and installation of the RFID interface module are the same as
those for the CPU module.
(3) For module mounting and installation, refer to the user’s manual of the CPU
module used.
4.1 Usage Precautions
The following describes the usage precautions for the RFID interface module unit.
(1) The module case is made of plastic. Do not drop the case or expose the case to
strong impact.
(2) Before touching the module, be sure to touch grounded metal or the like to release
the static electricity from your body.
(3) Tighten the module screws, etc., within the ranges described below. A loose screw
results in the risk of a short circuit, module failure, and malfunction.
Screw Location
Tightening Torque Range
Module screw (M3 screw)*
1
0.36 to 0.48N m (3.2 to 4.3lbf in)
Power supply terminal block screw (M3 screws)
0.52 to 0.57N m (4.6 to 5.1lbf in)
*1. The module can be simply secured to the base unit using the hooks located on
top of the module. Note, however, that we recommend securing the module
using the module screws in locations of high oscillation.
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that complies with the
general specifications described in the user’s manual of the CPU module
used. Failure to do so results in the risk of electric shock, fire, malfunction,
and product damage or deterioration.
During installation, fully insert the tabs used to secure the module into the holes
of the base unit while pressing down the module mounting lever located at the
bottom of the module, using the unit holes as support points. An incorrectly
mounted module results in the risk of malfunction, failure, and dropping. When
used in an environment of high oscillation, secure the module with screws.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. If a screw is too loose, a
dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction may result. If a screw is too
tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting in a dropped
module, short circuit, or malfunction.
Fully mount the antenna cable to the module connector. After mounting, check
for separation. Insufficient contact results in the risk of erroneous input and
output.
Do not directly touch a powered section or electronic component of the
module. Doing so results in the risk of module malfunction and failure.
