Notes on Safe Use of POD
In this manual, you will find various notes categorized under the following levels with the signal words “DANGER,”
and “CAUTION.”
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
DANGER serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
CAUTION moderate injury and could cause property damage.
Note that there is a possibility that the item listed with CAUTION may have serious ramifications.
DANGER
• Never use the input function of POD for operations that may threaten human life or to damage the system,
such as switches to be used in case of emergency. Please design the system so that it can cope with
malfunction of a touch switch. A malfunction of the touch switch will result in machine accident or damage.
• Turn off the power supply when you set up the unit, connect cables or perform maintenance and inspection.
Otherwise, electrical shock or damage may occur.
• Never touch any terminals while the power is on. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.
• You must put a cover on the terminals on the unit when you turn the power on and operate the unit. Without
the terminal cover in place, an electric shock may occur.
• The liquid crystal in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is damaged, never swallow
the leaked liquid crystal. If the liquid crystal spills on your skin or clothing, use soap and wash off thoroughly.
• For POD using a lithium battery, never disassemble, recharge, deform by pressure, short-circuit, nor reverse
the polarity of the battery, and never dispose of the battery in fire. Failure to follow these conditions will lead
to explosion or ignition.
• For POD using a lithium battery, never use a battery that is deformed, leaks, or shows any other signs of
abnormality. Failure to follow these conditions will lead to explosion or ignition.
CAUTION
• Check the appearance of the unit when it is unpacked. Do not use the unit if any damage or deformation is
found. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage or malfunction.
• For use in a facility or for a system related to nuclear energy, aerospace, medical, traffic equipment, or
mobile installations, please consult your local distributor.
• Operate (or store) POD under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals. Failure to do so
could cause fire, malfunction, physical damage or deterioration.
• Understand the following environmental limits for use and storage of POD. Otherwise, fire or damage to the
unit may result.
- Avoid locations where there is a possibility that water, corrosive gas, flammable gas, solvents, grinding
fluids or cutting oil can come into contact with the unit.
- Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and outside weather conditions, such as wind, rain or direct
sunlight.
- Avoid locations where excessive dust, salt, and metallic particles are present.
- Avoid installing the unit in a location where vibration or physical shock may be transmitted.
• Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of POD will not be touched inadvertently.
Otherwise, an accident or electric shock may occur.
• Tighten the fixtures of the POD with a torque in the specified range. Excessive tightening may distort the
panel surface. Loose tightening may cause POD to come off, malfunction or be short-circuited.
• Check periodically that terminal screws on the power supply terminal block and fixtures are firmly tightened.
Loosened screws may result in fire or malfunction.
• Tighten terminal screws on the power supply terminal block equally to a torque of 0.5 N•m. Improper
tightening of screws may result in fire, malfunction, or trouble.
• POD has a glass screen. Do not drop or give physical shock to the unit. Otherwise, the screen may be
damaged.
• Connect the cables correctly to the terminals of POD in accordance with the specified voltage and wattage.
Over-voltage, over-wattage or incorrect cable connection could cause fire, malfunction or damage to the
unit.
• Be sure to establish a ground of POD. Ground FG terminal which must be used for the unit. Otherwise,
electric shock or a fire may occur.
• Prevent any conductive particles from entering into POD. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage or
malfunction.
• After wiring is finished, remove the paper used as a dust cover before starting to operate POD. Operation
with the cover attached may result in accident, fire, malfunction, or trouble.
• Do not attempt to repair POD at your site. Ask us or the designated contractor for repair.
• Do not disassemble or modify POD. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
• Fuji Electric FA Components & Systems Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair,
overhaul or modification of POD that was performed by an unauthorized person.
• Do not use a sharp-pointed tool when pressing a touch switch. Doing so may damage the screen.
• Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect the cables or perform maintenance and inspection.
• For POD using a lithium battery, handle the battery with care. The combustible materials such as lithium or
organic solvent contained in the battery may generate heat, explode, or catch fire, resulting in personal injury
or fire. Read related manuals carefully and handle the lithium battery correctly as instructed.
• When using a POD that has analog switch resolution with resistance film, do not press two or more points on
the screen at the same time. If there is a switch between the two pressed points, it may be activated.
• Take safety precautions during such operations as setting change during running, forced output, start, and
stop. Any misoperation may cause unexpected machine motions, resulting in machine accident or damage.
• In facilities where a failure of POD could lead to accident threatening human life or other serious damage, be
sure that the facilities are equipped with adequate safeguards.
• At the time of disposal, POD must be treated as industrial waste.
• Before touching POD, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal. Excessive
static electricity may cause malfunction or trouble.
[General Notes]
• Never bundle control cables and input/output cables with high-voltage and large-current carrying cables such
as power supply cables. Keep these cables at least 200 mm away from the high-voltage and large-current
carrying cables. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.
• Plug connectors or sockets of POD in the correct orientation. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use thinners for cleaning because they may discolor the POD surface. Use alcohol or benzine
commercially available.
• If a data receive error occurs when POD and the counterpart (PLC, temperature controller, etc.) are started at
the same time, read the manual for the counterpart unit and handle the error correctly.
• Avoid discharging static electricity on the mounting panel of the POD. Static charges can damage the unit and
cause malfunctions. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.
• Avoid prolonged display of any fixed pattern. Due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal display, an
afterimage may occur. If a prolonged display of a fixed pattern is expected, use the auto OFF function of the
backlight.

Notes on Wiring
Notes on the Use of MJ1/MJ2
The metal shell of the UG230 modular jack is used as SG (signal ground).
CAUTION Fuji’s communication cable for modular jack, shielded cable, is connected to the SG
inside the UG230.
Notes on the Use of MJ2

Either the RS-232C or RS-422 port can be selected for MJ2 with the slide switch.
When the slide switch is set to RS-232C, MJ2 is connected in the same manner as MJ1.
When the slide switch is set to RS-422, extra care should be taken if connecting a device adapted to

Notes on Handling the CF Card
1. POD can recognize a CF card in the FAT file system. It cannot recognize a FAT32-formatted CF
card.
2. Do not insert or remove the CF card during access. Doing so may destroy data on the CF card.
The CF card can be inserted or removed safely when the Main Menu screen is displayed. Before
mounting or removing the CF card, be sure to check that the CF card is not being accessed.
Doing so may destroy data on the CF card or cause CF card failure.
However, if the [Card Menu] switch is pressed on the Main Menu screen and the CF card
operation screen is displayed, it is not possible to insert or remove the CF card.
3. Do not turn the power off or on during access to the CF card.
4. Make a backup copy of the CF card at regular intervals.
5. If there should be a disk error and you cannot read/write data, you can scan the disk in Windows to
restore the disk data.
If not restored, initialize the CF card. Note that the data in the CF card will be completely deleted
by initialization. (For more information on scanning the disk or operating Windows, refer to the
Windows manual.)
6. The number of writing times per CF card is limited (approx. 300,000 times).
Consequently, frequent writing at short intervals may shorten service life of the CF card. When
using a CF card to save sampling data, be aware of the sampling time. Be sure to always avoid
writing to a CF card with the CYCLE macro command.

• Communications between the UG230 master station and the PLC depend on the communication
speed set on the PLC. The maximum available speed for the UG230 is 115 kbps, which is higher
than the one available with multi-link connection described in “4. n : 1 Connection (Multi-link).”
• This multi-link connection is available with almost all the PLC models that support 1 : 1 connection.
(The connection between the master station and the PLC is the same as the one for 1 : 1
connection.)
• Use the RS-485 2-wire connection between stations of the UG230. Please use Fuji’s multi-link 2
master cable (UG00C-H) for connection between the master station (local port 1) and the slave
station (local port 2).
• The UG230, UG30 series and UG20 series can be used together. The UG20 series can be the
master station.
(However, when UG220/UG221 is the master station, the slave station must be UG220/UG221.
Also, depending on the hardware version of the UG20 series, multi-link 2 connection may not be
supported. Refer to the User’s Manual <UG20 series Hardware> (FEH352).
