3 Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing so
may result in electric shock.
WARNING
Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being
supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
WARNING
Provide safety measures in external circuits, i.e., not in the Programmable
Controller (CPU Unit and associated Units; referred to as “PC”), in order to
ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PC
or another external factor affecting the PC operation. Not doing so may result in
serious accidents.
•
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
•
The PC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects any
error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed. As a coun-
termeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be provided to en-
sure safety in the system.
•
The PC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the
output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for
