Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while 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), including the following items, 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 countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be
provided to ensure safety in the system.
