Installation precautions

WARNING

To ensure safety system operation, please configure emergency braking circuit, positive inversion circuit or other protection circuit for PLC, which can prevent the damage to PLC or other devices.

● It is imperative to configure the relevant safety circuits externally to the programmable controller.

● All outputs are turned off, as an error be detected by PLC CPU during self-diagnosis, such as a watch dog timer error. When error that cannot be detected, internal protection circuit may be disabled.

When relay and transistor are damaged, the output state of transistor in the PLC can’t be controlled. To ensure safe operation of the machine, please design external protection circuits and mechanisms for key output signals.

Start-up and maintenance precautions

DANGER

● Do not touch the terminal when power-on, otherwise it may cause electric shock and misoperation.

● Please remove and clean the terminal after the power is off. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock when power-on.

● Please read the manual carefully and confirm the safety before performing program changes, forced output, RUN, STOP and other operations during machine running.

● Mistakes in operation will damage the machine and cause accidents.

WARNING

● Please do not decompose and transform, otherwise it will cause failure, malfunction and fire.

※ For maintenance matters, please contact FUJIAN FUCAN Wecon Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

● Please load and unload the extension cable and other connecting cable after the power is turned off, otherwise it will cause failure and malfunction.

Maintenance and repair

Periodic inspection

  1. Whether the temperature inside the machine has risen abnormally due to other heating elements or direct sunlight.
  2. Whether there is dust or conductive dust intrusion into the machine.
  3. Whether there are loose wiring and terminals and other abnormalities.

  1. The USB interface used to be only for firmware upgrade or debugging of the coupler itself and cannot supply power to expansion modules.If expansion modules are connected to the system, power must be supplied via the 24V power input interface; otherwise, the modules cannot be recognized.
  2. It is strictly prohibited to power the system via USB when expansion modules are connected. 

Installation instructions

Please install the end cover on the right side of the last expansion module, align it with the module interface slot and connect it, as shown in the figure below:

Communication wiring

Cable recommendation

Profinet communication uses STP/FTP cable for network data transmission, without short circuit, dislocation and bad contact. 

The length of the cable between the devices cannot exceed 100 meters. Exceeding 100 meters will cause signal attenuation and affect normal communication.

It is recommended to use the following specifications of data cables:
