 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using.)

When using Mitsubishi equipment, thoroughly read this manual and the associated manuals introduced
in this manual.
Also pay careful attention to safety and handle the module properly. These precautions apply only to
Mitsubishi equipment. Refer to the CPU module users manual for a description of the PC system safety
precautions.
These SAFETY PRECAUTIONS classify the safety precautions into two categories: DANGER and
CAUTION.

PDANGER

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause death

or serious injury if not carried out properly.

ECAUTION

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause

superficial to medium injury, or physical damage only, if not carried out
properly.

Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by E CAUTION may also be linked to serious

results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.
Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it whenever necessary. Always
forward it to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]

P DANGER
Install a safety circuit external to the PC that keeps the entire system safe even when there are
problems with the external power supply or the PC module. Otherwise, trouble could result from
erroneous output or erroneous operation.
(1) Outside the PC, construct mechanical damage preventing interlock circuits such as
emergency stop, protective circuits, positioning upper and lower limits switches and
interlocking forward /reverse operations.
(2) When the PC detects the following problems, it will stop calculation and turn off all output.
The power supply module has over current protection equipment and over voltage
protection equipment.
The PC CPUs self diagnostic functions, such as the watchdog timer error, detect
problems. In addition, all output will be turned on when there are problems that the PC
CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller. Build a fail safe circuit exterior to the
PC that will make sure the equipment operates safely at such times.
Refer to Section 5.1 of this users manual for example fail safe circuits.
(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the output module relay or transistor.
So build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any single output that could cause
serious trouble.
When overcurrent which exceeds the rating or caused by short-circuited load flows in the output
module for a long time, it may cause smoke or fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety
circuit, such as fuse.
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply when the PC main module power is turned
on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in erroneous output or erroneous
operation.
When there are communication problems with the data link, the communication problem station
will enter the following condition.
Build an interlock circuit into the PC program that will make sure the system operates safely by
using the communication state information. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or
erroneous operation.
(1) For the data link data, the data prior to the communication error will be held.
(2) The MELSECNET (II,/B,/10) remote I/O station will turn all output off.
(3) The MELSECNET/MINI-S3 remote I/O station will hold the output or turn all output off
depending on the E.C. remote setting.
Refer to the data link manuals regarding the method for setting the communication problem
station and the operation state when there are communication problem.

E CAUTION
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or
install them close to each other. They should be installed 100mm(3.94inch) or more from each
other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

P DANGER
Use the PC in an environment that meets the general specifications contained in this manual.
Using this PC in an environment outside the range of the general specifications could result in
electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.
Install so that the pegs on the bottom of the module fit securely into the base unit peg holes, and
use the specified torque to tighten the modules fixing screws. Not installing the module correctly
could result in erroneous operation, damage, or pieces of the product falling.
Tightening the screws too far may cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in
fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
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 result in
erroneous input and erroneous output.
Correctly connect the memory cassette installation connector to the memory cassette. After
installation, make sure that the connection is not loose. A poor connection could result in
erroneous operation.
Do not directly touch the modules conductive parts or electronic components. Doing so could
cause erroneous operation or damage of the module.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

P DANGER
Completely turn off the external power supply when installing or placing wiring. Not completely
turning off all power could result in electric shock or damage to the product.
When turning on the power supply or operating the module after installation or wiring work, be
sure that the units terminal covers are correctly attached. Not attaching the terminal cover could
result in electric shock.

E CAUTION
Be sure to ground the FG terminals and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor. Not
doing so could result in electric shock or erroneous operation.
When wiring in the PC, be sure that it is done correctly by checking the products rated voltage
and the terminal layout. Connecting a power supply that is different from the rating or incorrectly
wiring the product could result in fire or damage.
Do not connect multiple power supply modules in parallel. Doing so could cause overheating,
fire or damage to the power supply module. If the terminal screws are too tight, it may cause
falling, short circuit or erroneous operation due to damage of the screws or module.
Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. If the terminal screws are loosen, it could
result in short circuits, fire, or erroneous operation.
Tightening the terminal screws too far may cause damages to the screws and/or the module,
resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris inside the module.
Such debris could cause fires, damage, or erroneous operation.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

E CAUTION
External connections shall be crimped or pressure welded with the specified tools, or correctly
soldered. For information regarding the crimping and pressure welding tools, refer to the I/O
modules users manual. Imperfect connections could result in short circuit, fires, or erroneous
operation.

[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

P DANGER
Do not touch the terminals while power is on. Doing so could cause shock or erroneous
operation.
Correctly connect the battery. Also, do not charge, disassemble, heat, place in fire, short circuit,
or solder the battery. Mishandling of battery can cause overheating or cracks which could result
in injury and fires.
Switch all phases of the external power supply off when cleaning the module or tightening the
terminal screws. Not doing so could result in electric shock. If the screws are too tight, it may
cause falling, short circuit or erroneous operation due to damage of the screws or modules.
Tightening the screws too far may cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in
fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.

E CAUTION
The online operations conducted for the CPU module being operated, connecting the peripheral
device (especially, when changing data or operation status), shall be conducted after the manual
has been carefully read and a sufficient check of safety has been conducted.
Operation mistakes could cause damage or trouble of the module.
Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so could cause trouble, erroneous operation,
injury, or fire.
Switch all phases of the external power supply off before mounting or removing the module. If
you do not switch off the external power supply, it will cause failure or malfunction of the module.

[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]

*1: Overcurrent protection

The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5V, 24 VDC circuit and stops the system if the current flowing
in the circuit exceeds the specified value. When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is
switched OFF or dimly lit. If this happens, eliminate the cause of the overcurrent and start up the system again.
*2: Overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection device shuts off the 5 VDC circuit and stops the system if a voltage of 5.5 to 6.5 V is
applied to the circuit. When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is switched OFF. If this
happens, switch the input power OFF, then ON to restart the system. The power supply module must be changed
if the system is not booted and the LED remains OFF.
*3: Allowable momentary power interruption time
This value indicates the momentary power interruption time allowed for the PC CPU and varies according to the
power supply module used with the PC CPU module. The allowable momentary power interruption time for a
system in which an A1S63P is used is defined as starting when the primary power supply of the 24 VDC
stabilized power supply of the A1S63P is turned OFF and lasting until the 24 VDC becomes less than the
specified voltage (15.6 VDC).

Requirements for Compliance to EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)

The EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) will become mandatory within Europe from
January 1st 1996. The EMC directive in essence defines the amount of
electromagnetic output a product is allowed to produce and how susceptible
that product is to electromagnetic interference. Any manufacturer or importer
of electrical/electronic apparatus must before releasing or selling products
within Europe after that date have either a CE mark attached to their goods.
Testing to comply with the directive is done by use of agreed European
standards which define limits for radiated and mains conducted electro-magnetic emissions from equipment, levels of immunity to radiated emissions,
ability for equipment to cope with transient voltage surges and electro-static
discharges.
When installed in the specified manner this unit will be compliant with the
relevant standards EN50081-2 and prEN50082-2 as applicable in the EMC
directive. Failure to comply with these instructions could lead to impaired
EMC performance of the equipment and as such Mitsubishi Electric Corporation can accept no liability for such actions.

3.2.1

When the PC is installed following the directions given in this manual its EMC
performance is compliant to the following standards and levels as required
by the EMC directive.

Installation instructions for EMC

Control cabinet
When constructing a control cabinet where the PC system will be installed,
the following instructions must be followed.

3.2.2.2

(1)

Use a conductive control cabinet.

(2)

When attaching the control cabinets top plate or base plate, mask
painting and weld so that good surface contact can be made between
the cabinet and plate.

(3)

To ensure good electrical contact with the control cabinet, mask the
paint on the installation bolts of the inner plate in the control cabinet so
that contact between surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible
area.

(4)

Earth the control cabinet with a thick wire so that a low impedance
connection to ground can be ensured even at high frequencies. (22 mm 2
wire or thicker is recommended.)

(5)

Holes made in the control cabinet must be 10 cm diameter or less. If the

holes are 10 cm or larger, radio frequency noise may be emitted.

(6)

Connect the door of cabinet to the main body with flat braided wires at
as many points as possible so that a low impedance can be ensured
even at high frequencies.

Connection of power and earth wires

Earthing and power supply wires for the PC system must be connected as
described below.
(1)

Provide an earthing point near the power supply module. Earth the
power supplys LG and FG terminals (LG: Line Ground, FG: Frame
Ground) with the thickest and shortest wire possible. (The wire length
must be 30 cm or shorter.) The LG and FG terminals function is to pass
the noise generated in the PC system to the ground, so an impedance
that is as low as possible must be ensured. As the wires are used to
relieve the noise, the wire itself carries a large noise content and thus
short wiring means that the wire is prevented from acting as an antenna.

Note) A long conductor will become a highly efficient antenna at high frequency.
(2)

The earth wire lead from the earthing point must be twisted with the
power supply wires. By twisting with the earthing wire, noise flowing
from the power supply wires can be relieved to the earthing. However,
if a filter is installed on the power supply wires, the wires and the
earthing wire may not need to be twisted.

(3)

Except for A1S61PEU and A1S62PEU, short between FG and LG

terminals by a short jumper wire.

34

3. INSTALLATION
3.2.2.3

MELSEC-A

Cables
The cables led from the control cabinet contain a high frequency noise
element and outside the control panel these cables act as antenna and
radiate noise. The cables connected to input/output modules or special
modules which leave the control panel must always be shielded cables.
Mounting of a ferrite core on the cables is not required (excluding some
models) but if a ferrite core is mounted, the noise radiated through the cable
can be suppressed further.
Use of a shielded cable is also effective for increasing the noise immunity
level. The PC systems input/output and special function module provide a
noise immunity level of equivalent to that stated in IEC801-4: 2 kV when a
shielded cable is used. If a shielded cable is not used or if the shield earthing
treatment is not suitable even when used (refer to section 3.2.2.4), the noise
immunity level is less than 2 kV
Note) prEN50082-2 specifies the noise resistance level based on the signal
wire application
Signals involved in process control:
2 kV
Signals not involved in process control: 1 kV
The meaning of involved in process control is not defined in prEN50082-2.
However, when the purposes of the EMC Directive are considered, the
signals that could cause personal injury or risks in the facility if a malfunction
occurs should be defined as signals involved in process control. Thus, it is
assumed that a high noise immunity level is required.

Shield earthing
When a shield of shield cable is earthed to the cabinet body, please ensure
that the shield contact with the body is over a large surface area. If the
cabinet body is painted it will be necessary to remove paint from the contact
area. All fastenings must be metallic and the shield and earthing contact must
be made over the largest available surface area. If the contact surfaces are
too uneven for optimal contact to be made either use washers to correct for
surface inconsistencies or use an abrasive to level the surfaces. The following diagrams show examples of how to provide good surface contact of
shield earthing by use of a cable clamp.

Ferrite core
A ferrite core is effective for reducing noise in the band of 30 MHz to 100
MHz. Mounting of a ferrite core is not necessary except for some particular
models described in Section 3.2.2.5 and 3.2.2.6. However if further attenuation of noise is necessary, mounting of a ferrite core on cables which radiate
noise is recommended. When a ferrite core is mounted, mount the ferrite core
just before the point where the cable goes outside of the cabinet. The ferrite
will not be effective if the mounting position is not adequate.

3.2.2.10 Noise filter (power supply line filter)

The noise filter (power supply line filter) is a device effective to reduce
conducted noise. Except some particular models described in Section
3.2.2.8, installation of a noise filter onto the power supply lines is not

Requirement to Conform to the Low-Voltage Instruction

The low-voltage instruction, one of the European Instructions, is now regulated.
The low-voltage instruction require each device which operates with power
supply ranging from 50VAC to 1000V and 75VDC to 1500V to satisfy necessary safety items.
In the sections from 3.3.1 to 3.3.7, cautions on installation and wiring of the
MELSEC-AnS series PC to conform to the low-voltage instruction regulation
are described.
We have put the maximum effort to develop this material based on the
requirements and standards of the regulation that we have collected. However, compatibility of the devices which are fabricated according to the
contents of this manual to the above regulation is not guaranteed. Each
manufacturer who fabricates such device should make the final judgment
about the application method of the low-voltage instruction and the product
compatibility.

3.3.1

Standard applied for MELSEC-AnS

The standard applied for MELSEC-AnS is EN61010-1 safety of devices used
in measurement rooms, control rooms, or laboratories.
For the modules which operate with the rated voltage of 50VAC/75VDC or
above, we have developed new models that conform to the above standard.
(See Appendix 4.)
For the modules which operate with the rated voltage under 50VAC/75VDC,
the conventional models can be used, because they are out of the low-voltage
instruction application range.

Precautions when using the MELSEC-AnS series PC

Module selection
(1)

Power module
For a power module with rated input voltage of 100/200VAC, select a
model in which the internal part between the first order and second order is intensively insulated, because it generates hazardous voltage
(voltage of 42.4V or more at the peak) area. (See Appendix 4.)
For a power module with 24VDC rated input, a conventional model
can be used.

(2)

I/O module
For I/O module with rated input voltage of 100/200VAC, select a model in which the internal area between the first order and second order is intensively insulated, because it has hazardous voltage area.
(See Appendix 4.)
For I/O module with 24VDC rated input, a conventional model can be
used.

(3)

CPU module, memory cassette, base module

Conventional models can be used for these modules, because they
only have a 5VDC circuit inside.

(4)

Special module
Conventional models can be used for the special modules including
analog module, network module, and positioning module, because
the rated voltage is 24VDC or smaller.

(5)

Display device
Use an A870GOT CE compatible model.

3.3.3

Power supply
The insulation specification of the power module was designed assuming
installation category II. Be sure to use the installation category II power
supply to the PC.
The installation category indicates the durability level against surge voltage
generated by a thunderbolt. Category I has the lowest durability; category
IV has the highest durability.

Control box
Because the PC is an open device (a device designed to be stored within
another unit), be sure to use it after storing in the control box.
(1)

Electrical shock prevention

In order to prevent persons who are not familiar with the electric facility such as the operators from electrical shocks, the control box must
have the following functions:
(a) The control box must be equipped with a lock so that only the
personnel who has studied about the electric facility and have
enough knowledge can open it.
(b) The control box must have a structure which automatically stops the
power supply when the box is opened.

(2)

Dustproof and waterproof features

The control box also has the dustproof and waterproof functions. Insufficient dustproof and waterproof features lower the insulation
withstand voltage, resulting in insulation destruction. The insulation
in our PC is designed to cope with the pollution level 2, so use in an
environment with pollustion level 2 or below.
Pollution level 1:

An environment where the air is dry and

conductive dust does not exist.
Pollution level 2:
An environment where conductive dust
does not usually exist, but occasional
temporary conductivity occurs due to the
accumulated dust. Generally, this is the
level for inside the control box equivalent
to IP54 in a control room or on the floor of
a typical factory.
Pollution level 3:
An environment where conductive dust
exits and conductivity may be generated
due to the accumulated dust.
An environment for a typical factory floor.
Pollution level 4:
Continuous conductivity may occur due to
rain, snow, etc. An outdoor environment.
As shown above, the PC can realize the pollution level 2 when stored
in a control box equivalent to IP54.
3.3.5

Module installation
(1)

Installing modules contiguously

In AnS series PCs, the left side of each I/O module is left open.
When installing an I/O module to the base, do not make any open
slots between any two modules. If there is an open slot on the left
side of a module with 100/200VAC rating, the printed board which
contains the hazardous voltage circuit becomes bare. When it is unavoidable to make an open slot, be sure to install the blank module
(A1SG60).
When using the A1S5aB expansion base with no power supply, attach
the cover packaged with the expansion base to the side of the leftmost module.

Constructions to Reduce EMI Noise

The following measures are effective to reduce EMI noise generated
by equipment which contains the AnS products.
(1)

Grouding of a control cabinet

Material of the control cabinet should be steel or equivarent conductor so that radiation of noise is protected. However, if grounding of
the cabinet is not good enough, the cabinet body to which noise is inducted becomes an antenna to radiate noise. Therefore, impedance
of grouding cable of the cabinet should be as low as possible. Use of
a flat braided wire at shortest distance to the earth is recommended
to minimize high frequency impedance.
Door of the cabinet should be also connected to the body low impedance wires.

(2)

Grouding of AnS
Please be aware of the following points for grouding of AnS.
(a) Connect both LG and FG terminal on power supply modules to the
control cabinet at shortest distance. Approx. 20cm.
2

(b) Use thick wire for the earth connections. 2mm or thicker.

Precautions When Unfailure Power System (UPS) is Connected

When Unfailure Power System (abbreviated as UPS hereafter) is connected

General Safety Requirements

P DANGER
All external power supply must be turned off during installation and wiring.
Unless all phases are cut off from the products, it could cause electrical
shock or damage on the products.
Before connecting the power to the products, put terminal covers back
onto the terminals.
Otherwise, it could cause electrical shock.
A protective earth terminal which is marked with
ted to the earth.
Otherwise, it could cause electrical shock.

(LG) must be connec-

All electrical connections should be carried out by trained and competent

personnel, and must comply with the requirements of all relevant local and
national wiring regulations for installation wiring.
Particular attention is required when preparing the installation wiring for
connection to terminal to ensure that hazardous live wiring are adequately
separated from the Safety Extra Low Voltage wiring.
All external power supplies and signals connected to other devices or
equipment, of which rated voltage is 24 V or lower, should not compromise
the Safety Extra Low Voltage requirements.

A readily accessible switch or circuit breaker should be included in the

equipment which contains the product so that the power supply for the product can be disconnected if necessary.
CAUTION
Rated voltage and terminal assignment of each module should be confirmed before wiring is carried out. Connection of different voltage or wrong
connection could cause fire and/or malfunction of the products.
Do not supply 24 VDC power
supply from more than one power
supply modules in parallel to one
I/O module. If they are connected
so, the power supply modules will
become not and could be caused
fire and/or malfunction.

24 VDC

24 VDC
External power supply

Terminal screws should be tighten by the specified torque. Loose connection could cause short-circuit, fire and/or malfunction of the products.
During wiring, be sure that no off-cut of wires or other conductive dusts go
into modules. It could cause fire, malfunction and/or failure of the products.
Wiring for modules which provide connector for external wiring should be
securely carried out with the specified tools or by soldering. Unsecured
connection could cause short-circuit, fire, and/or malfunction of the products.

POINTS
(1) Provide separator grounding for the lightning surge absorber (E1) and
for the PC (E2).
(2) Select a lightning surge absorber of which maximum allowable line
voltage is higher than input voltage of the power supply module.

4.3

Digital I/O Modules

The following instructions should be observed for I/O module wiring.
(1)

I/O signal wires must be installed at least 100 mm (3.94 inch) away from
high-voltage and large-current main power wires so that noise induction
from such high power circuit is minimized.

(2)

If the I/O signal wires cannot be separately installed from the high power
wires, use shielded cables for I/O signal and connect their shield to the
earth.

FAIL-SAFE CONSTRUCTIONS

5.1

General Safety Requirements

MELSEC-A

P DANGER
Safety circuitry must be so designed and constructed externally that an entire system stays in safe in case of a external power supply failure and/or
PC failure. In particular, the following safety circuitry are required to constructed outside of the PC.
(1)

Emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, interlocking circuit for contrary operations such as forward and reverse movement, and hardware
stroke limit circuit for positioning controls must be constructed externally.

(2)

In case of hardware failure which PC CPU cannot detect occurs, all or

some output signals could be turned on without program instructions.
An external safety circuitry must be so constructed that safety of equipment or machine can be protected from such case.
Please refer to Sub-clause 5.2 for details.

(3)

In some cases, relays or transistors used in output modules stay always

ON or OFF as failure symptoms. If such failure could cause serious
damage on persons or properties, those safety critical output signals
must be externally monitored.

If the power to the PC is turned ON after turning ON the external power

supply used for the process control with the DC output module, the DC output module may make an erroneous output for an instant. Take the following procedures for power up of the equipment, in order to prevent such
erroneous input and output to/from the PC.

5.2

(1)

Turn ON the power to the PC.

(2)

Turn ON the external power supply used for the process control.

(3)

Turn ON the START switch.

(4)

Turn ON the power to the output devices by using a program.

(5)

Confirm that all external power supplies are turned ON, and then, an I/O
control program should be executed.

Fail-Safe Circuitry Against to Failure of the PC

Though Mitsubishi PCs are manufactured under strict quality control, they
may cause failure or abnormal operations due to unspecific reasons. To
prevent the abnormal operation of the whole system, machine breakdown,
and accidents, fail-safe circuitry against to failure of the PC must be constructed outside the PC.
The following page gives an example of system designing that conforms to
the explanation mentioned above and an example of fail-safe measures
when the PC causes a failure.

Failure of a CPU or memory can be detected by the self diagnosis

function. However, Failure of I/O control area may not be detected by
the CPU. In such cases, all I/O points turn ON or OFF depending on a
condition of problem, and normal operating conditions and operating
safety cannot sometimes be maintained. Examples of fail-safe circuitry

ERROR CODES
When an error occurs while in the PC RUN or RUN state, the self-diagnostic
function stores an error indication or error code (including step number) in
the special register. This section describes how to read the error code, as
well as causes of errors and corrective actions. Table 7.1 shows the error
codes for A1SCPU and A2SCPU, Table 7.2 the error codes and detailed error
codes for A2ASCPU(S1/S30/S60), and Table 7.3 the error codes and detailed error codes that are detected only in the A1SHCPU and A2SHCPU,
respectively.
Take proper action to eliminate the cause of error.
