[Design Precautions]
WARNING
When a safety programmable controller detects an error in an external power supply or a failure in
programmable controller, it turns off all the outputs.
Create an external circuit to securely stop the power of hazard by turning off the outputs. Incorrect
configuration may result in an accident.
Create short current protection for a safety relay, and a protection circuit such as a fuse, and
breaker, outside a safety programmable controller.
When data/program change, or status control is performed from a personal computer to a running
safety programmable controller, create an interlock circuit outside the sequence program and safety
programmable controller to ensure that the whole system always operates safely.
For the operations to a safety programmable controller, pay full attention to safety by reading the
relevant manuals carefully, and establishing the operating procedure.
Furthermore, for the online operations performed from a personal computer to a safety CPU module,
the corrective actions against a communication error due to a cable connection fault, etc. should be
predetermined as a system.
