z SAFETY PRECAUTIONS z
(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 user's manual for a description of the PC system safety precautions.
These z SAFETY PRECAUTIONS z classify the safety precautions into two categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause death or serious injury, if not carried out properly.
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
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]
CAUTION
z Do not bundle AS-i cable together with main circuit or power lines, or lay them close to these lines.
As a guide, separate these lines by a distance of at least 100 mm, otherwise malfunctions may occur due to noise.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
z Use the PLC in an environment that conforms to the general specifications in CPU module user's manual.
Using the PLC in the environments outside the ranges stated in the general specifications will cause electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to/deterioration of the product.
z Do not touch conductive parts or electronic components of the module with your bare hands.
This could cause malfunction or failure of the module
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
z Insert the module fixing latch on the bottom of the module into the fixing hole of the base unit securely, and use the module fixing hole as the supporting point to install the module. Then tighten the module fixing screw to the specified torque. Incorrect installation with no screws could result in malfunction, failure or fall of the module. Tightening the screw excessively may cause fall, short circuit, or malfunction of the module due to damage of the screw or the module.
z Always shut off all phases of the PLC power supply and AS-i power supply externally before mounting or removing the module.
Failure to shut off all phases could lead to product damage.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
z Switch off all phases of the PLC power supply and AS-i power supply outside the PLC before starting installing or wiring work.
If all phases are not switched off, there will be a danger of electric shock or damage to the product.
z Always install the terminal covers enclosed with the product before turning ON the power or operating the product after installation or wiring.
Failure to install the terminal cover could lead to electric shocks.
CAUTION
z Always confirm the products terminal layout before wiring to the module.
Incorrect wiring could lead to fires or faults.
z Tighten terminal screws to the specified torque.
If a terminal screw is not tightened to the specified torque, the module may fall out, short circuit, or malfunction. If a terminal screw is tightened excessively, exceeding the specified torque, the module may fall out, short circuit, or malfunction due to breakage of the screw or the module.
z Make sure that no foreign matter such as chips or wire offcuts gets inside the module. It will cause fire, failure, or malfunction.
z AS-i cables connected to a module must always be run in a duct or held securely using clamps.
If a cable is not run in a duct or not held securely using clamps, the cable will sag, move, or be pulled by mistake, which will cause damage to the module and the cable and also malfunctioning due to loose connection of the cable.
z When removing the AS-i cable from a module, do not pull it out by the cable.
A cable loosen the screws that hold the cable onto the module then remove the cable.
If the cable is pulled while it is connected to the module, the module and/or the cable will be damaged and may malfunction due to loose connection of the cable.

5. Wiring
DANGER
z Switch off all phases of the PLC power supply and AS-i power supply outside the PLC before starting installing or wiring work.
If all phases are not switched off, there will be a danger of electric shock or damage to the product.
z Always install the terminal covers enclosed with the product before turning ON the power or operating the product after installation or wiring.
Failure to install the terminal cover could lead to electric shocks.
CAUTION
z Always confirm the products terminal layout before wiring to the module.
Incorrect wiring could lead to fires or faults.
z Tighten terminal screws to the specified torque.
If a terminal screw is not tightened to the specified torque, the module may fall out, short circuit, or malfunction.
If a terminal screw is tightened excessively, exceeding the specified torque, the module may fall out, short circuit, or malfunction due to breakage of the screw or the module.
z Make sure that no foreign matter such as chips or wire offcuts gets inside the module.
It will cause fire, failure, or malfunction.
z AS-i cables connected to a module must always be run in a duct or held securely using clamps.
If a cable is not run in a duct or not held securely using clamps, the cable will sag, move, or be pulled by mistake, which will cause damage to the module and the cable and also malfunctioning due to loose connection of the cable.
z Do not bundle AS-i cable together with main circuit or power lines, or lay them close to these lines.
As a guide, separate these lines by a distance of at least 100 mm, otherwise malfunctions may occur due to noise.
z When removing the AS-i cable from a module, do not pull it out by the cable.
A cable loosen the screws that hold the cable onto the module then remove the cable.
If the cable is pulled while it is connected to the module, the module and/or the cable will be damaged and may malfunction due to loose connection of the cable.
5.1 Precautions for Wiring
1) The overall distance is up to 100m.
When using a repeater, the distance can be extended by 100m(328.1ft.) per repeater.
Up to two repeaters can be used, so the maximum overall distance is 300m(984.3ft.).
5.2 Wiring
Use an AS-i cable to connect the A1SJ71AS92 to the AS-i system.
An example of wiring to the A1SJ71AS92 is shown below.
