1. Installation Precautions DANGER If an emergency stop circuit, interlock circuit, or similar circuit is to be formulated, it must be positioned external to this module. If you do not observe this precaution, equipment damage or accident may occur when this module becomes defective.

CAUTION The degree of temperature rise varies depending on how the module is mounted. The mounting intervals specified in the manual should be used as a guide only. While a test run is conducted after completion of mounting, measure the temperature near the module to check whether it is within the specified range.
Page 7
REQUIREMENT Fasten the mount base to a vertical surface. Fastening the mount base to a horizontal surface lessens the heat dissipation effects and allows the temperature to rise, thereby rendering the module defective or incurring component parts deterioration. Before installing the module, discharge any static buildup from your body because static electricity may render the module defective.

2. Wiring Precautions DANGER Switch off the power supply before making connections to the terminal block. Making connections with the power supply being switched on may incur electrical shock hazards. Electric shock hazards exist so that you might suffer burns or become electrocuted.
Page 9
REQUIREMENT Before supplying power to the equipment, thoroughly check the wiring connections. Before making power supply wiring connections, make sure that no voltage is applied to the power cable. Immediately after completion of power supply wiring, be sure to install the terminal cover. Ensure that the communication, power supply, motive power, and other cables are routed apart from each other.

3 MOUNTING AND WIRING DANGER Switch off the power supply before making connections to the terminal block. Making connections with the power supply being switched on may incur electrical shock hazards. Electric shock hazards exist so that you might suffer burns or become electrocuted.
3 MOUNTING AND WIRING 3.4 Wiring 3.4.1 Remote I/O Cable Wiring The SYS SW module is a system changeover system for simplified duplexing of the LPU unit. The remote I/O unit cannot be duplexed. The remote I/O unit is shared. Regarding the remote I/O line, therefore, connect between each LPU unit and the remote I/O station by a remote I/O cable.
