WARNING
Always heed these precautions. Failure to abide by the following precautions
could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury.
•
Always connect to a ground of 100
Ω
or less when installing the Units. Not con-
necting to a ground of 100
Ω
or less may result in electric shock.
•
Always turn OFF the power supply to the PC before attempting any of the fol-
lowing. Not turning OFF the power supply may result in malfunction or electric
shock.
•
Mounting or dismounting Power Supply Units, I/O Units, CPU Units,
Memory Cassettes, or any other Units.
•
Assembling the Units.
•
Setting DIP switches or rotary switches.
•
Connecting or wiring the cables.

Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the
event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines,
momentary power interruptions, or other causes.
•
Interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures in external circuits
(i.e., not in the Programmable Controller) must be provided by the customer.
•
Always use the power supply voltage specified in the manual. An incorrect volt-
age may result in malfunction or burning.
•
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated
voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the
power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
