Page 3: Safety Precautions
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. In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING"...
Page 4 [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.
Page 5 WARNING ● When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the CPU module during operation, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as program modification or operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before the operation.
Page 6 [Installation Precautions] WARNING ● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction. [Installation Precautions] CAUTION ●...
Page 7 ● To use the high-speed counter function, ground the shield cable on the encoder side (relay box). Failure to do so may cause malfunction. ● Mitsubishi Electric programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block.
Page 8 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] WARNING ● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. ● 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.
Page 9 [Disposal Precautions] CAUTION ● When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste. When disposing of batteries, separate them from other wastes according to the local regulations. (For details on battery regulations in EU member states, refer to the User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) for the CPU module used.) [Transportation Precautions] CAUTION...

Page 22: Chapter 1 Data Logging
CHAPTER 1 DATA LOGGING The data logging function of the CPU module stores collected device data on an SD memory card in CSV format, with just a simple setting. Features The following explains the features of the data logging function. (1) Logging of device data is easy.
Page 23 CHAPTER 1 DATA LOGGING (2) Control data can be logged without missing a change (continuous logging). Data logging is available every scan or on the millisecond time scale. Since changes in the specified control data can be logged, the data logging function is effective to identify the cause of a problem. Also, logging is performed at a high speed so that equipment can be analyzed with high accuracy.
Page 24 (4) Only the specific data can be collected in each file (specification period logging). Using the specification period logging (Page 61, Section 6.3.3), data can be collected only while the specific conditions are met, and files can be saved for each specified period. Capacity increase resulting from collecting unnecessary data can thus be prevented, and time taken to analyze and organize data can also be shortened.
Page 25 CHAPTER 1 DATA LOGGING (5) Configuration for logging is simple. Logging settings can be configured easily by following the wizard. Settings configured. (6) A large volume of logging files can be stored. Use of an SD memory card of up to 16GB enables a long-term logging. (7) Data sampling for troubleshooting can be instructed easily.
Page 26 (8) Data logging files can be transferred from the CPU module to the FTP server By using the data logging file transfer function, the CPU module serves as an FTP client, and data logging files in SD memory cards can be transferred to the FTP server. ( Page 82, Section 7.4) Since data logging files can be managed by one FTP server, data management and maintenance work can be reduced.

Page 76 (3) Holding and clearing the data logging setting The data logging setting registered to the CPU module is latched. Even if the CPU module is powered off and on or is reset, the data logging can be performed again with registered setting data. However, the data logging status is cleared when the storage destination is an SD memory card and any of the following conditions is met.
Page 77 CHAPTER 6 DATA LOGGING FUNCTION (11)When "Sampling" is set to "Step No. specification" With "Sampling" set to "Step No. specification", the processing time of data logging is added to the program running time. Accordingly, when "Step No. specification" is specified, design watchdog timer settings and interrupt programs with a consideration of the processing time of data logging (setting the fixed scan interval).
Page 78 (17)When the CPU module is locked with a security key No device comment can be output to the data logging file. (18)Disabling the addition of character string by the data logging file name addition instruction when the data logging is registered When the data logging is registered by writing of data logging setting of the target setting number after the data logging file name addition instruction (SP.LOGFILES instruction) is executed, addition of a character string executed by this instruction is disabled.
