[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
The online operations performed from a personal computer to a running safety programmable
controller (Program change when a safety CPU module is RUN, device test, and operating status
change such as RUN-STOP switching) have to be executed after the manual has been carefully
read and the safety has been ensured.
Following the operating procedure predetermined at designing, the operation has to be performed by
an instructed person.
When changing a program while a safety CPU module is RUN (Write during RUN), it may cause a
program breakdown in some operating conditions.
Fully understand the precautions described in the GX Developer's manual before use.
Do not disassemble or modify the modules.
Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
If the product is repaired or remodeled by other than the specified FA centers or us, the warranty is
not covered.
Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm (9.85 inches) away in all directions from the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module to/from the base unit, and the
terminal block to/from the module more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant) respectively.
Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
Do not drop or apply shock to the battery to be installed in the module.
Doing so may damage the battery, causing the battery fluid to leak inside the battery.
If the battery is dropped or any shock is applied to it, dispose of it without using.
Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the
static electricity from the human body.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
