PROSEC T2N

When a problem with the T2N system occurs as one of the following

phenomena, external factors should be suspected.

(1) When the problem occurs in synchronisation with the operation of

input/output equipment

In this case, there is a possibility that the cause is noise generated when

the output equipment switches ON/OFF. Apply the noise counter-

measures described in Section 3 Application Precautions for I/O Modules.

(2) When the problem occurs in synchronisation with the operation of peripheral

power equipment and high-frequency equipment

In this case, the effect of noise induced in the input/output signal lines may

be suspected. Also, depending on the power supply system and the

grounding system, the cause may sometimes be surges or voltage

fluctuations in the power supply and fluctuations in the ground potential.

Check with the Notes described in Section 4 Installation and Wiring.

Depending on the case, one method is to try the effect of disconnecting the

ground.

(3) When the problem occurs in synchronisation with the operation of

machinery, the effect of vibration may be considered. Check the state of

installation of units/modules and, at the same time, study vibration

countermeasures, such as the use of vibration-proofing rubber.

(4) When similar problems re-occur even after replacing faulty modules,

thoroughly check that there is no risk of entry of metal particles or drops of

water.

Apart from the above causes, if, for instance, the ambient temperature exceeds

the specified range, stable operation of the system cannot be guaranteed. Take

thorough precautions over the environmental conditions.
