● Never use this product in a device for personnel protection.

 

● In case of using devices for personnel protection, use products which 

meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for person-

nel protection applicable in each region or country.

 

● Before touching this product, remove any electrostatic charge that may 

be present on your body. There is a danger of this product getting dam-

aged due to the electrostatic charge.

CAUTIONS

In case of designing a board, take care of the bottom of this product that is 

the area of being prohibited from mounting parts, mounting of the parts kit, 

and pattern width.

 

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

 

● This product is not equipped with a short-circuit protection circuit. Use a 

power supply having a short-circuit protection function (e.g. fuse, etc.).

 

● Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating. Also, check 

the voltage variation at the end terminal of the transmission route, since 

voltage drop occurs depending on the diameter or the length of the 

transmission cable.

 

● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that 

the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an 

actual ground.

 

● Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is 

switched ON. Furthermore, transmission is not possible when the system is 

in Busy state (during switching ON of the power supply or system setting.)

 

● Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an 

auto-transformer (single winding transformer) is used, this product or the 

power supply may get damaged.

 

● In case a surge is generated in the power supply used, connect a surge 

absorber to the supply and absorb the surge.

 

● Solder terminals at 260°C or less within 10 seconds.

 

● Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put 

them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.

 

● Make sure to carry out wiring in the power supply OFF condition.

 

● Take care that wrong wiring will damage the product.

 

● In order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

 

● In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor, 

etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground (F.G.) 

terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.

 

● This product does not have a dust-proof or water-proof construction. Do 

not use it in a place having excessive vapor, dust, etc.

 

● Take care that the product does not come in contact with water, chemi-

cals or organic solvents, such as thinner, etc. Furthermore, do not use it 

in an environment having corrosive gas.

 

● Do not use the product in places where the ambient temperature or the 

humidity exceeds the specifications.

 

● Do not touch this product while operation since there are some parts 

whose temperatures become high.

Notes: 1)  24V DC and 5V DC are insulated.

 

2) The current consumption value is the total of the maximum current value (D-G line 

only) supplied to the 

S-LINK V

 I/O units and the current consumption value of the 

S-LINK V

 control module.

  

3) Validity (valid or invalid) of input interruption can be set for every point. The inter-

ruption condition (ON → OFF or OFF → ON), however, should be set in units of 

32 points. If the input change interruption signal and the error occurrence interrup-

tion signal are output at the same time, the priority will be given to the error occur-

rence interruption signal.

 

4) Values of control module single body are shown in these areas. To mount this 

product on your device, these values may be subject to change so that the values 

can be optimum for both the control module and your device.
