!WARNING

It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying a PLC System to the above mentioned applications.

Safety Precautions

!WARNING

Never attempt to disassemble a Unit or touch the inside of Unit while power is being supplied. Doing so may result in serious electrical shock or electrocution.

!WARNING

Provide safety measures in external circuits, i.e., not in the Programmable

Controller (CPU Unit including associated Units; referred to as “PLC”), in order to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC or another external factor affecting the PLC 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 PLC 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.

• The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter-
