LOADING AND INSTALLATION
10.3 Module Installation
10.3.1 Precaution on installation
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the gen-
eral specifications contained in this manual. Using this programmable
controller in an environment outside the range of the general specifica-
tions could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and dam-
age to or deterioration of the product.
While pressing the installation lever located at the bottom of module,
insert the module fixing tab into the fixing hole in the base unit until it
stops. Then, securely mount the module with the fixing hole as a support-
ing point. Incorrect mounting of the module can cause a malfunction, fail-
ure or drop.
When using the programmable controller in the environment of much
vibration, tighten the module with a screw.
Tighten the screw in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction. Overtight-
ening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage to the
screw or module.
When installing more cables, be sure that the base unit and the module
connectors are installed correctly.
After installation, check them for looseness.
Poor connections could cause an input or output failure.
Securely load the memory card by pushing it into the memory card load-
ing slot.
Check for insecure loading after loading the memory card.
Not doing so can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system
before mounting or removing the module. Not doing so could result in
damage to the product.
Note that the module can be changed online (while power is on) in the
system that uses the CPU module compatible with online module change
or on the MELSECNET/H remote I/O station. Note that there are restric-
tions on the modules that can be changed online (while power is on) and
each module has a predetermined changing procedure.
Note that online (while power is on) replaceable modules are restricted,
and the replacement procedure is determined for each module
( 12.4.1).
Do not mount/remove the module onto/from base unit or terminal block
more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant), after the first use of the
product.
Failure to do so may cause the module to malfunction due to poor con-
tact of connector.
