2 General Precautions
The user must operate the product according to the performance specifications
described in the relevant manuals.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the manual
or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical equipment, amusement ma-
chines, safety equipment, and other systems, machines, and equipment that
may have a serious influence on lives and property if used improperly, consult
your OMRON representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product are
sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, and be sure to provide the
systems, machines, and equipment with double safety mechanisms.
Be sure to read this manual before attempting to use the Link Adapter and keep
this manual close at hand for reference during operation.
WARNING It is extremely important that the Link Adapter be used for the specified purpose
and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or
indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative
before applying the Link Adapter system to the above-mentioned applications.
3 Safety Precautions
WARNING Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing so
may result in electric shock.
WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being
supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable
Controller), including the following items, in order to ensure safety in the system
if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PC or another external factor
affecting the PC operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents.
•
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
•
The PC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects any
error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed. As a coun-
termeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be provided to en-
sure safety in the system.
•
The PC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the
output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for
such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in
the system.
