 [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.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
● Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
● Configure a circuit so that the external power supply is turned off first and then the programmable
controller. If the programmable controller is turned off first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals for the network
used. For the manuals, please consult your local Mitsubishi representative. Incorrect output or
malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

2
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents. When a Safety CPU is used, data cannot be
modified while the Safety CPU is in SAFETY MODE.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used. For areas used for safety communications, they are protected from being written by
users, and thus safety communications failure caused by data writing does not occur.
● If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. When safety communications are used, an
interlock by the safety station interlock function protects the system from an incorrect output or
malfunction.
[Precautions for using CC-Link IE Controller Network (when optical fiber cables are used)]
● The optical transmitter and receiver of the CC-Link IE Controller Network module use laser diodes
(class 1 in accordance with IEC 60825-1). Do not look directly at a laser beam. Doing so may harm
your eyes.

3
 [Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Doing so may result in malfunction due to electromagnetic interference. Keep a distance of
100mm or more between those cables.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
● After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so
that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
● Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values
need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing
so also may cause malfunction or failure of the module.
● When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as the remote
RUN/STOP functions), select "Do Not Open by Program" for "Opening Method" of "Module
Parameter". If "Open by Program" is selected, an execution of the remote STOP function causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the line, and external
devices cannot execute the remote RUN function.

[Security Precautions]
WARNING
● To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

4
[Installation Precautions]

completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Securely insert an extended SRAM cassette or a battery-less option cassette into the cassette
connector of the CPU module. After insertion, close the cassette cover and check that the cassette is
inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Beware that the module could be very hot while power is on and immediately after power-off.
● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module, SD memory
card, extended SRAM cassette, battery-less option cassette, or connector. Doing so can cause
malfunction or failure of the module.

[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● After installation and wiring, attach a blank cover module (RG60) to each empty slot before powering
on the system for operation. Also, attach an extension connector protective cover*1 to each unused
extension cable connector as necessary. Directly touching any conductive parts of the connectors
while power is on may result in electric shock.
*1 For details, please consult your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.

5
 [Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
● Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Doing so may result in malfunction due to noise. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between
those cables.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables.
In addition, the weight of the cables may put stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations
and shocks.
Do not clamp the extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics
of the cables, resulting in malfunction.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
● Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● When a protective film is attached to the top of the module, remove it before system operation. If not,
inadequate heat dissipation of the module may cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● 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. Wiring and replacement of a
power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of
protection against electric shock. For wiring, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
● For Ethernet cables to be used in the system, select the ones that meet the specifications in the user's
manual for the module used. If not, normal data transmission is not guaranteed.

6.1 Ethernet Wiring

This section describes the wiring when Ethernet is used.

Wiring methods
The following describes connection and disconnection of the Ethernet cable.

■Connecting the cable

1. Push the Ethernet cable connector into the Ethernet-equipped module until it clicks. Pay attention to the connector's
direction.

2. Lightly pull it to check that it is securely connected.

3. Check whether the LINK LED of the port connected with an Ethernet cable is on.*1
*1 The time between the cable connection and the LINK LED turning on may vary. The LINK LED usually turns on in a few seconds. Note, 6
however, that the time may be extended further if the link-up processing is repeated depending on the status of the device on the line.
Check whether the cables are connected properly if the LINK LED does not turn on. In addition, the LINK LED does not turn on if the
communication speed is 10Mbps. Perform network diagnostics and check whether the cables are connected properly. ( MELSEC iQ-
R Ethernet User's Manual (Application))

■Disconnecting the cable

1. Press the latch down and unplug the Ethernet cable.

■Precautions
• Place the Ethernet cable in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in
damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
• Do not touch the core of the cable-side or module-side connector, and protect it from dirt or dust. If oil from your hand, dirt
or dust is attached to the core, it can increase transmission loss, arising a problem in data link.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is not disconnected or not shorted and there is no problem with the connector connection.
• When connecting the Ethernet cable, refer to the CC-Link IE Field Network Cable Installation Manual available from the
website of CC-Link Partner Association (www.cc-link.org). The cable installation not following the contents of the manual
may cause malfunction.
• Do not use Ethernet cables with broken latches. Doing so may cause the cable to unplug or malfunction.
• Hold the connector part when connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable. Pulling the cable connected to the module
may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
• For connectors without Ethernet cable, attached connector cover should be placed to prevent foreign matter such as dirt or
dust.
• The maximum segment length of the Ethernet cable is 100m. However, the length may be shorter depending on the
operating environment of the cable. For details, contact your cable manufacturer.
• The bend radius of the Ethernet cable is limited. For details, check the specifications of the Ethernet cable to be used.

*1 The CPU module (built-in Ethernet port part) does not support the communication speed.

A communication error may occur due to high-frequency noise from devices other than a programmable
controller in a given connection environment. The following describes countermeasures to be taken on the
Ethernet-equipped module side to avoid high-frequency noise influence.
Wiring
• Do not bundle the cable with the main circuit or power cable or do not place it near those lines.
• Place the cable in a duct.
• When using a UTP cable, use STP cables.
Communication method
• Use TCP/IP for data communications with connected devices.
• Increase the number of retries of communications if needed.
Transmission speed
• Change the communication speed to be slower than the speed of communications connected with an
Ethernet cable in "Communication Speed" of "Application Settings". ( MELSEC iQ-R Ethernet User's

• Place the Ethernet cable in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in
damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
• Do not touch the core of the cable-side or module-side connector, and protect it from dirt or dust. If oil from your hand, dirt
or dust is attached to the core, it can increase transmission loss, arising a problem in data link.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is not disconnected or not shorted and there is no problem with the connector connection.
• When connecting the Ethernet cable, refer to the CC-Link IE Field Network Cable Installation Manual available from the
website of CC-Link Partner Association (www.cc-link.org). The cable installation not following the contents of the manual
may cause malfunction.
• Do not use Ethernet cables with broken latches. Doing so may cause the cable to unplug or malfunction.
• Hold the connector part when connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable. Pulling the cable connected to the module
may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
• For connectors without Ethernet cable, attached connector cover should be placed to prevent foreign matter such as dirt or
dust.
• The maximum station-to-station distance of the Ethernet cable is 100m. However, the length may be shorter depending on
the operating environment of the cable. For details, contact your cable manufacturer.
• The bend radius of the Ethernet cable is limited. For details, check the specifications of the Ethernet cable to be used.

 ■Media converter
When an Ethernet cable is converted into an optical fiber cable, use a media converter that satisfies the following conditions.
If not, the operations are not guaranteed.
To check whether the media converter satisfies the conditions, consult the manufacturer of the media converter to be used.
• Compliance with the Gigabit Ethernet for all ports
• Compliance with the IEEE 802.3 (1000BASE-T) for the ports connected to the modules on CC-Link IE Field Network
• Using the shielded RJ45 connectors
• Support of the Auto MDI/MDI-X function
• Support of the auto-negotiation function
• Support of the link pass-through function
The link pass-through function means if a link-down occurs in a port of the source media converter (on the Ethernet cable side
or optical fiber cable side), a link-down automatically occurs in a port of the destination media converter as well.

Ex.
The link pass-through function operates as follows:
A link-down in the port (A1) of the media converter (A) causes a link-down in the port (A2) automatically. This results in a link-
down in the port (B2), followed by a link-down in the port (B1) of the media converter (B) due to connection with the converter
(A).

(1) Ethernet cable

(2) Optical fiber cable

When a ring topology is configured, use a media converter that does not support the MAC address learning
function.

Precautions
When a media converter is used in ring topology, powering on a device in the network may cause a temporary disconnection
of device station. To prevent the device station disconnection, set 'Media converter use in ring topology' (Un\G29962)*1 to Use
(1) in the master operating station.
Observe the following when 'Media converter use in ring topology' (Un\G29962) is set to Use (1).
• The device station may become disconnected temporarily by powering on a device in the network. Therefore, do not power
off a device in another network or do not disconnect an Ethernet cable 20 seconds after the device power-on.
• It takes up to 20 seconds until the loopback stops after the cable is reconnected or the faulty station recovers.
• When a master operating station is switched, the new master operating station does not inherit the settings of the old
master operating station. Therefore, create a program so that 'Media converter use in ring topology' (Un\G29962) turns on
in the new master operating station after switching.
*1 'Media converter use in ring topology' (Un\G29962) can be used for the CC-Link IE Field Network-equipped master/local module whose
firmware version is "59" or later.

Program example of error detection in other stations
■Data flow
In the program example, the baton pass status and cyclic transmission status of each station is monitored and some network
errors in other stations are detected in a system configured with three stations.

• When a disconnection or a reconnection of stations is detected, the CC-Link IE Controller Network executes
the line control in all stations to reconstruct the loop.
• During the line control processing, the 'Baton pass status of each station' (SW00A0 to SW00A7) and 'Data
link status of each station' (SW00B0 to SW00B7) are turned on for up to 100ms. (Normally for up to 50ms.)
Therefore, set a value of error monitoring timer to more than 100ms and within the allowable range of your
system.

■Program example
The setting value of error monitoring timer is 200ms.
