Precautions for design
WARNING
• FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE NETWORK SYSTEM AND ROBOT CONTROLLER IN THE EVENT THAT A
COMMUNICATION PROBLEM OCCURS IN THE NETWORK SYSTEM, REFER TO THE MANUAL OF THE HOST CONTROL
DEVICE AS WELL AS TO THIS DOCUMENT. CONFIGURE AN INTERLOCK CIRCUIT IN THE SEQUENCE PROGRAM SO
THAT THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE ROBOT CONTROLLER, WILL WORK SAFELY WITH USING THE COMMUNICATION
STATUS INFORMATION.

CONTROLLER. BY USING THIS TERMINAL, PREPARE A PHYSICAL INTERLOCK CIRCUIT SO THAT THE SYSTEM INCLUDING
THE ROBOT CONTROLLER WILL WORK SAFELY.
CAUTION
The control line and communication cable must not be bound with or placed near the main circuit or power line.
Separate these by at least 100mm. Failure to observe this could lead to communication error or declining
throughput caused by noise.
