oad systems, aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, med-al equipment, amusement machines, safety equipment, and otherystems, machines, and equipment that may have a serious influ-nce on lives and property if used improperly, consult your OMRONepresentative.ake sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of theroduct are sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, ande sure to provide the systems, machines, and equipment with dou-le safety mechanisms.his manual provides information for installing and operatingMRON Motion Control Units. Be sure to read this manual beforeperation and keep this manual close at hand for reference duringperation.

It is extremely important that a PC and all PC Units be used forthe specified purpose and under the specified conditions, espe-cially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect humanlife. You must consult with your OMRON representative beforeapplying a PC system to the above mentioned applications.

y PrecautionsAlways confirm the safety of the controlled system before trans-ferring programs to the ZEN or before manipulating the status ofbits in ZEN memory. Unexpected system response may result,possibly causing injury.

Application Precautions 4

4 Application PrecautionsObserve the following precautions when using the ZEN Support Soft-ware.

Observe the following precautions before starting the ZEN Sup-port Software

Close all software programs not related to the ZEN SupportSoftware. It is particularly important to close all programsthat start periodically or intermittently, such as screen savers,virus checkers, email and other communications programs,xiii

and schedulers. Do not share hard disks, printers, or other devices with other

network computers while running the ZEN Support Software. Some notebook computers set the RS-232C port to modem

or infrared application by default. Change the settings ac-cording to the operating instructions for your computer sothat the RS-232C port can be used as a normal serial com-munications port.

Some notebook computers set the RS-232C port to not sup-ply power (5 V) to the port to save energy by default. Changethe settings according to the operating instructions for yourcomputer to provide power to the port. (There are Windowssettings and also possibly settings for computer-specific util-ities or BIOS settings to save power.)

Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system beforeattempting any of the following. Not doing so may result in anunexpected operation.

Changing the operating mode. Setting and resetting bits in memory. Changing bit status or parameter settings.

Check the user program for proper execution before actuallytransferring it to or running it on the Unit. Not checking the pro-gram may result in an unexpected operation.
