•

Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.

•

Locations subject to shock or vibration.

!

Caution

Install the CS1 Bus Interface Boards properly as specified in the operation manuals. Improper installation of the CS1 Bus Interface Boards may result in malfunction.

5

!

Caution

Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the following locations:

•

Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.

•

Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.

•

Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.

•

Locations close to power supplies.

!

Caution

The operating environment of the CS1 Bus Interface Board System will have a large effect on the longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforeseeable problems with the CS1 Bus Interface Board System. Be sure that the operating environment is within the specified conditions at installation and remains within the specified conditions during the life of the system.

Application Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the CS1 Bus Interface Board

System.

•

Always use the power supply voltages specified in the operation manuals. An incorrect voltage 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.

•

Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuiting may result in burning.

•

Always turn OFF the power supply to the CS1 Bus Interface Board and the

PLC before attempting any of the following. Not turning OFF the power supply may result in malfunction or electric shock.

•

Mounting or dismounting I/O Units or any other Units.

•

Assembling the Units.

•

Setting DIP switches or rotary switches.

•

Connecting cables or wiring the system.

•

Connecting or disconnecting the connectors.

•

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units.

•

The mounting screws of the CS1 Bus Interface Board must be tightened to the torque specified in the manuals for the personal computer. Incorrect tightening torque may result in malfunction.

•

Double-check all wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power supply. Incorrect wiring may result in burning.

•

Be sure that the connectors, expansion cables, and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may result in malfunction.

xiii

Application Precautions

5

•

Check the user program for proper execution before actually executing it. Not checking the program may result in unexpected operation.

•

Do not pull on cables or bend them past their natural bending radius. Doing so may damage the cables and interfere with proper operation.

•

Do not place any objects on the cables.

•

The PC will not start operation even after the power supply is turned ON until the CS1 Bus Interface Board completes initialization. The time required for initialization depends on the computer in which the Board is installed, You must design the system to allow for this delay.

•

Also, if the power supply to the Open Network Controller is interrupted during operation, the PC will detect an I/O bus error. You must design the system to allow for this possibility.
