Before installation, operation, maintenance or inspection of this product, thoroughly read through and
understand this manual and the associated manuals. Also, take care to handle the module properly and
safely.
This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: and .
Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by may also cause severe injury. In
any case, it is important to follow all usage directions. Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be taken

1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe
injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight
personal injury or physical damage.
Reference
• Make sure to include the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during
external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Above all, the following components should be included: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an
interlock circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent
damage to the equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).
2) Note that when the PLC main unit detects an error during self diagnosis, such as a watchdog timer error, all
outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC main unit occurs in an input/
output control block, output control may be disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such cases.

Reference
• Observe the following items. Failure to do so may cause incorrect data-writing through noise to the PLC and result
in PLC failure, machine damage or other accident.
1) Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the
control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line.
Noise may cause malfunctions.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of a shielded cable. Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical
systems
• During access (ACCESS LED is lit or flickering) to CompactFlash
TM
card, do not remove the CompactFlash
TM
card
or power off the FX
3U-CF-ADP.
Failure to do so may cause CompactFlash
TM
card failures or malfunctions.
• If the power is turned OFF while the CompactFlash
TM
card is being accessed (ACCESS LED is lit or flickering), the
buffered data is erased. Also files or CompactFlash
TM
card itself may be damaged. Do not turn the power OFF
while the ACCESS LED is lit or flickering.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the power supply cable or power supply connector.
Excessive pressure may cause damage or error.
