Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying
this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this
equipment is acceptable.
In no event will L&T be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.ì
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative
purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any
particular installation, L&T cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use
based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by L&T with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of L&T is prohibited.
Throughout this manual we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

Safety Instructions
Precautions regarding system design
In certain applications, malfunction may occur for the following reasons:
• The timing difference between opening and closing of the PLC power
supply, the I/O modules and power equipment
• An operation time lag when a momentary power failure occurs
• Abnormality in the PLC, external power supply, or other devices
In order to prevent a malfunction resulting in system shutdown choose the
adequate safety measures listed in the following:

Interlock circuits on the outside of PLC

When a motor clockwise/counter-clockwise operation is controlled, provide an
interlock circuit that prevents clockwise and counter-clockwise signals from
inputting into the motor at the same time.

Emergency stop circuits on the outside of PLC

Install the emergency stop circuits outside the PLC to stop the power supply
of the output device.

Start PLC after other devices (Start up sequence)

The PLC should be operated after all of the I/O devices and the power
equipments are energized.
• Switch to RUN mode after the start of PLC.
• Use a timer circuit to delay the start of PLC.

Watchdog timer
The watchdog timer is a program error and hardware error detection timer. It
goes ON when the scan time exceeds 640 ms.
When the watchdog timer is activated, at the same time the ALARM LED
lights, the ALARM contacts on the power supply module turn to ON, all
output modules are turned OFF and the module is put in halted state. (The
system is in a non-processing state that includes communications with
programming tools as well.)

Installation Location
Be sure to maintain a sufficient distance from wiring ducts, and other machines
below and above the module for proper ventilation.
Do not install the modules stacked up or horizontally. Doing so will prevent proper
cooling of the module and cause overheating inside the PLC (programmable
controller).
Do not install the module above devices which generate heat such as heaters,
transistors or large scale resistors.
In order to eliminate any effects from noise emission, power wires and
electromagnetic devices should be kept at least 100 mm away from the surfaces of
the module. When installing the module behind the doors of the operation panel, be
especially careful to maintain these distances.

connected to a solid earth ground.
• Use ground wires with a minimum of 2mm2 and the triple grounding connection
which has a resistance of less than 100 Ω.
• The point of grounding should be as close to the PLC as possible and the ground
wire should be as short as possible.
• If two devices share a single ground point, it may produce an adverse effect.
