(2) Fail-safe measures to cover the possibility of PLC failure
Although a CPU module detects failures of PLC CPU module and memory
by using the self-diagnostics function, it may not detect those of I/O control
area.
In such cases, all I/O points may turn ON or OFF depending on the failure,
or the control target may malfunction or the safety may not be ensured.
Mitsubishi PLCs are manufactured under strict quality control, however,
build a fail-safe circuit outside the PLC in order that the PLC failure due to
unspecified reasons will not result in the machinery breakdown or
accidents.
The system example including fail safe circuit and fail safe circuit example
are provided below.

*2: Y80 turns ON and then OFF alternatively at 0.5 second intervals.
Use a contactless output module (a transistor is used in the above
example).
*3: If an offdelay timer (especially miniature timer) is not available, construct
the failsafe circuit using an ondelay timer shown on the next page.
