Design Precautions

DANGER

Indicates an imminent danger of causing death

or severe injury unless the situation is avoided

correctly as instructed.

- Provide this Unit with external safety circuits so that the entire

system is protected even if the external power supply or the Unit

goes wrong.

(1) Configure those circuits outside the Unit which include an

emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit

for contrary operations such as normal and reverse rotations,

and an interlock circuit for preventing a machine from breaking

beyond the upper or lower positioning limit.

(2) The Unit stops arithmetic operations and turns all outputs off

upon detection of the following states.

- The overcurrent or overvoltage protector of the power supply

module has been actuated.

- The self-diagnostic feature of this Unit has detected an error

such as a watchdog timer error. If I/O control transparent to

this Unit causes an error, all of the outputs may be turned on.

Provide the Unit with an external fail-safe circuit or mechanism

so that the machine operates on the safe side in that case.

(3) Depending on the fault of a relay or transistor in an output unit,

the output may remain on or off. For output signals which can

result in serious accidents, provide external monitor circuits.

- If an overcurrent continues to flow to the output for an extended

period of time due to a rating error or short-circuited load, the

output unit may smoke or burn. Provide an external safety circuit

such as a fuse.

- Configure the circuit containing this Unit so that the external

power supply is turned on after the Unit is turned on.

Turning on the external power supply before the Unit may result in

an output error or malfunction, possibly causing an accident.

- When a data link causes a communication error, the operation

status of the affected station changes depending on the type of the

data link in use. Configure an interlock circuit in a user program

so that the system acts on the safe side.

iv

PPC-CPU686(MS)

- An output error or malfunction may cause an accident.

(1) The data link holds data existing prior to the occurrence of the

communication error.

(2) The remote I/O station of MELSEC (II/B/10) turns all of its

outputs off.

- When configuring the system, do not leave an empty slot in the

base unit. If the base unit has an empty slot, be sure to apply a

blank cover (QG60) to the slot.

Internal components of the Unit may scatter around when a

short-circuit test is performed or when an overcurrent or

overvoltage is applied to the external I/O section.

CAUTION

Indicates a potential danger of either causing a

minor or moderate injury or resulting only in

property damage unless the situation is avoided

correctly as instructed.

- Any control line or communication cable should be neither

b

undled with nor routed adjacent to the main circuit or power line.

The control line and communication cable should be at least

100mm away from the main circuit and power line.

Poor wiring conditions result in malfunctions caused by noise.

- When the output unit controls components such as the lamp load,

heater, and solenoid valve, a large current (about 10 times the

normal value) may flow at the OFF-to-ON transition of the

output. Take appropriate measures, for example, by replacing it

with a unit of a higher rated current.

- 2.5 inches hard disk drive (HDD) of our company has not

guaranteed use by continuation operation and continuation power

for 24 hours. When it is used by continuation operation and

continuation power a life falls extremely. In the case of 24-hour

operation system, use of our company silicon disk drive (SDD) is

recommended.

Installation Precautions

CAUTION

Indicates a potential danger of either causing a

minor or moderate injury or resulting only in

property damage unless the situation is avoided

correctly as instructed.

- Use the Unit in the environment specified in this manual. Using

the Unit in an environment not satisfying all the specifications can

cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction, product damage, and/or

product degradation.

- Mount the Unit on the base unit with the unit fixing hook at the

bottom of the Unit fit in the fixing slot in the base unit. Failure to

mount the Unit correctly can let the Unit malfunction or fall.

Before attempting to use the Unit in a place subject to

considerable vibration or shock, use the unit fixing screw to fasten

the Unit securely to the base unit. The unit fixing screw must be

tightened within the specified tightening torque range.

Tightening the screw loosely can let the Unit fall, cause a short

circuit, or malfunction. Tightening the screw excessively can

break the screw or the Unit, letting the Unit fall, cause a short

circuit, or malfunction.

- When connecting an extension cable, plug it securely into the

relevant connector on the base unit or the Unit. Check the

connection after plugging it to prevent an imperfect contact which

can cause input and output errors.

- Before attaching or detaching this Unit, be sure to turn the external

power supply off for all phases, or the product may be damaged.

- Do not directly touch any conductive part or electronic component

of the Unit. Doing so may cause the Unit to malfunction or fail.

Wiring Precautions

DANGER

Indicates an imminent danger of causing death

or severe injury unless the situation is avoided

correctly as instructed.

- Before mounting or wiring the Unit or any other product, be sure

to turn the external power supply for all phases.

Failure to turn it off for all phases may cause an electric shock,

product damage, or malfunction.

CAUTION

Indicates a potential danger of either causing a

minor or moderate injury or resulting only in

property damage unless the situation is avoided

correctly as instructed.

- Be sure to ground the FG and LG terminals by at least Class D

Grounding (former Class3 Grounding) exclusive for sequencers.

Failure to do so may cause an electric shock or malfunction.

- Be careful not to let foreign matters such as chips and wire tailings

in the Unit.Foreign matters caught in the Unit may cause a fire,

fault, or malfunction.

- Wire each product to the Unit correctly after checking the rated

voltage and pin assignments of the product. Connecting a power

supply not matching the rating or miswiring may cause a fire or

fault.

- Tighten each terminal screw within the specified tightening

torque range. Tightening the terminal screw loosely may result in

a short circuit or malfunction. Tightening the terminal screw

excessively can break the screw or the Unit, also resulting in a

short circuit or malfunction.

- The cables connected to this Unit must be either enclosed in ducts

or fixed with clamps. Doing neither allows the cables to hang

loose, move, or be pulled inadvertently, resulting in the Unit

and/or cables damaged or the Unit malfunctioning due to an

imperfect contact in cable connection.

- When disconnecting each cable from this Unit, do not hold the line

to pull. Unplug the cable after loosening the screws fastening the

cable end to the connector in the Unit. Pulling the cable connected

to the Unit may break the Unit and/or cable or cause the Unit to

malfunction due to an imperfect contact in the cable connection.

- Do not connect the outputs of two or more power units in parallel.

Doing so heats up the power units, possibly causing a fire or fault.

PPC-CPU686(MS)
