Safety Icons
Throughout this manual, these icons provide essential safety information for PL operation procedures requiring special
attention. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
System Design
• For the Built-in Battery Unit version, see "7.2.1 Caution (page 7-7)".
Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment damage
occur.
Indicates situations where death, severe injury, or major equipment damage can
occur.
Indicates situations where slight injury or minor equipment damage can occur.
Indicates actions or procedures that should NOT be performed.
Indicates actions or procedures that MUST be performed to ensure correct unit
operation.
Do not create PL touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of personnel or equipment.
A malfunction of the PL unit, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), or other related equipment can cause unexpected
output signals, leading to a serious accident. Be sure to design all important machine operation switches
so they are operated via a separate control system, and not via the PL.
Do not create PL touch panel switches to control machine safety operations, such as an emergency stop
switch. Install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment
damage can occur.
Be sure to design your system so that a communication fault between the PL and its host controller will
not cause equipment to malfunction. This is to prevent any possibility of injury or equipment damage.
