SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle
the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable
controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious
consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured
external to the programmable controller.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration
Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the
network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Design Precautions]
[Design Precautions]
WARNING When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used.
If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
CAUTION Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so
that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values
need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing
so also may cause malfunction or failure of the module.
When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as the remote
RUN/STOP functions), select "Do Not OPEN in Program" for "Open Method Setting" of "Module
Parameter". If "OPEN in Program" is selected, an execution of the remote STOP function causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the line, and external
devices cannot execute the remote RUN function.
[Security Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.
WARNING Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the Safety
Guidelines included with the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction,
or damage to or deterioration of the product.
To mount a module, place the concave part(s) located at the bottom onto the guide(s) of the base unit,
and push in the module until the hook(s) located at the top snaps into place. Incorrect interconnection
may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
To mount a module with no module fixing hook, place the concave part(s) located at the bottom onto
the guide(s) of the base unit, push in the module, and fix it with screw(s). Incorrect interconnection
may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module with
a screw.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw,
short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, or malfunction.
When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.
Check the connection for looseness. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the SD memory card slot. Check that it is inserted
completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
Securely insert an extended SRAM cassette or battery-less option cassette into the cassette
connector of the CPU module. After insertion, close the cassette cover and check that the cassette is
inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module, SD memory
card, extended SRAM cassette, connector, or battery-less option cassette. Doing so can cause
malfunction or failure of the module.

[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
After installation and wiring, attach a blank cover module (RG60) to each empty slot and an included
extension connector protective cover to the unused extension cable connector before powering on the
system for operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
Use a solderless terminal with an insulation sleeve for terminal block wiring. Note that up to two
solderless terminals can be connected per terminal block.
Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
When an overcurrent caused by an error of an external device or a failure of a module flows for a long
time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact. Do not clamp the
extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics of the cables,
resulting in malfunction.
When disconnecting the communication cable or power cable from the module, do not pull the cable
by the cable part. For the cable connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screws. Pulling
the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
Tighten the terminal block mounting screws, terminal screws, and module fixing screws within each
specified torque range. Undertightening of the terminal block mounting screws and terminal screws
can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening of them can damage the screw and/or
module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction. Undertightening of the module fixing screws
can cause drop of the screw. Overtightening of them can damage the screw and/or module, resulting
in drop.
Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat
dissipation before system operation.

Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or
throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the
battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm 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 mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the

stations
Local station A station that performs cyclic transmission and transient transmission with the master station and other
local stations.
Master station A station that controls the entire system. This station can perform cyclic transmission and transient
transmission with all stations. Only one master station can be used in a system.
Master/local module The abbreviation for the RJ61BT11 CC-Link system master/local module
Module label A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each
module in a given character string.
For the module used, GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global
label.
RAS The abbreviation for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability. This term refers to usability of automated
equipment.
Redundant system A system consisting of two systems that have same configuration (CPU module, power supply module,
network module, and other modules). Even after an error occurs in one of the two system, the other
system takes over the control of the entire system. For details, refer to "Redundant system" of the
following manual.

Remote device net Ver.1 mode A mode used to configure a system only with a master station and Ver.1-compatible remote stations.
More remote device stations can be connected compared to the remote net Ver.1 mode.
Remote device net Ver.2 mode A mode used to configure a system only with remote stations containing master stations and Ver.2-
compatible remote stations or to add Ver.2-compatible remote stations in future (a system only with
master stations and Ver.1-compatible remote stations).
More remote device stations can be connected compared to the remote net Ver.2 mode.
Remote device station A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) and I/O data (word data) with the master station by cyclic
transmission. This station cannot perform transient transmission.

Remote I/O net mode A mode used to perform high-speed communications in a system consisting of a master station and
remote I/O station(s) only
Remote I/O station A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) with the master station by cyclic transmission This station
cannot perform transient transmission.
Remote input (RX) Bit data input from a slave station to the master station (For some areas in a local station, data are input
in the opposite direction.)
Remote net Ver.1 mode A mode used to configure a system only with a master station and Ver.1-compatible slave station.
Data can be communicated with all stations (remote I/O station, remote device station, local station,
intelligent device station, and standby master station) in a CC-Link system.
Remote net Ver.2 mode A mode used to configure a system containing master stations and Ver.2-compatible slave stations or to
add Ver.2-compatible slave stations in future.
Data can be communicated with all stations (remote I/O station, remote device station, local station,
intelligent device station, and standby master station) in a CC-Link system.
Compared to the remote net Ver.1 mode, the number of cyclic points per station is increased from 128
to 896 for RX/RY, and from 16 to 128 for RWr/RWw.
Remote output (RY) Bit data output from the master station to a slave station (For some areas in a local station, data are
output in the opposite direction.)
Remote register (RWr) Word data input from a slave station to the master station (For some areas in a local station, data are
input in the opposite direction.)
Remote register (RWw) Word data output from the master station to a slave station (For some areas in a local station, data are
output in the opposite direction.)
Remote station A generic term for a remote I/O station and a remote device station
Return A process of restarting data link when a station recovers from an error
Slave station A generic term for a remote I/O station, remote device station, local station, intelligent device station,
and standby master station
Standby system A backup system in a redundant system
System switching A function which switches the systems between the control system and the standby system to continue
operation of the redundant system when a failure or an error occurs in the control system
Transient transmission A function of communication with another station, which is used when requested by a dedicated
instruction or the engineering tool
Ver.1-compatible slave station A slave station that supports the remote net Ver.1 mode or remote device net Ver.1 mode
Ver.2-compatible slave station A slave station that supports the remote net Ver.2 mode or remote device net Ver.2 mode
