This section explains how to install and set up your Control System, with spe-
cifics on the proper environment, actual mounting, applicable cable, wiring,
and switch settings.
2-2 Installation Environment
Although the P-type Programmable Controller is quite durable, the following
conditions must be observed in order for your System to operate at its high-
est level of reliability.
Ambient temperature Operating: 0° to 55°C*
Storage: –20° to 65
°C
Humidity 35% to 45% (without condensation)
Must be free from the following:
• Corrosive gases
• Abrupt temperature changes
• Direct sunlight
Atmosphere
• Concentration of dust, salt, iron particles
• Splatter from water, oil, other chemicals
Vibration and shock Must not receive direct impact or vibration
*The ambient operating temperature for the Programming Console is 0° to 45°.
Caution In low humidity conditions, excessive static electricity of over 8 kV can dam-
age internal components such as ICs. Before touching the PC, be sure to
first touch a grounded metallic object to discharge any static electricity buil-
dup.
Noise Prevention Use twisted-pair cables with cross-sectional areas of at least 2 mm
2
/conduc-
tor (AGW 14) to prevent noise. Avoid mounting the PC close to high-power
equipment, and be sure to mount it at least 200 mm away from power lines.
Wherever possible, use wiring ducts to contain and protect the PC wiring.
The I/O wiring should not be placed in the same duct with the power line or
other wiring. Standard wiring conduits are sufficient as long as the I/O wiring
and power lines are kept separate.
