Operating Environment Precautions 4
!Caution
After programming (or reprogramming) using the IOWR instruction, confirm
that correct operation is possible with the new ladder program and data before
starting actual operation. Any irregularities may cause the product to stop
operating, resulting in unexpected operation in machinery or equipment.
!Caution
The CP1L CPU Units automatically back up the user program and parameter
data to flash memory when these are written to the CPU Unit. I/O memory
(including the DM Area, counter present values and Completion Flags, and
HR Area), however, is not written to flash memory. The DM Area, counter
present values and Completion Flags, and HR Area can be held during power
interruptions with a battery. If there is a battery error, the contents of these
areas may not be accurate after a power interruption. If the contents of the
DM Area, counter present values and Completion Flags, and HR Area are
used to control external outputs, prevent inappropriate outputs from being
made whenever the Battery Error Flag (A402.04) is ON.
4 Operating Environment Precautions
!Caution
Do not operate the control system in the following locations:
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications.
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tem-
perature.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
!Caution
Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in
the following locations:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
• Locations close to power supplies.
!Caution
The operating environment of the PLC System can have a large effect on the
longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can
lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforeseeable problems with the PLC
System. Make sure that the operating environment is within the specified con-
ditions at installation and remains within the specified conditions during the
life of the system.
