[Design Instructions]

[Startup/Maintenance Instructions]

WARNING When data change, program change, or status control is performed from a personal computer to a running

programmable controller, create an interlock circuit outside the programmable controller to ensure that the whole system always operates safely.Furthermore, for the online operations performed from a personal computer to a programmable controller CPU, the corrective actions against a communication error due to such as a cable connection fault should be predetermined as a system.

CAUTION The online operations performed from a personal computer to a running programmable controller CPU (Program

change when a programmable controller CPU is RUN, operating status changes such as forced input/output operation and RUN-STOP switching, and remote control operation) must be executed after the manual has been carefully read and the safety has been ensured.When changing a program while a programmable controller CPU is RUN, it may cause a program corruption in some operating conditions. Fully understand the precautions described in Section 12.9 before use.

The positioning test functions of OPR, JOG, inching or positioning data for QD75/LD75 positioning module must be executed with the programmable controller set to STOP after the manual has been carefully read and the safety has been ensured. Specially when executing the function on the network system, ensure the safety thoroughly since the machinery whose operation cannot be checked by an operator may be activated. The operation failure may cause the injury or machine damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
