Precautions
Please observe the following precautions for safe use of this products.
Circuit Design
1. All interface connectors and battery connector are live parts, they may not be
directly connected to Softy Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit or to accessible
conductive parts.
For the programming units and Personal Computers use only the ZEN-CIF01
Connecting Cable (optional accessory) manufactured by OMRON.
ZEN-CIF01 provides safe (reinforced) insulation between Personal Computers
and ZEN.
2. Provide emergency stop circuits, external interlock circuits, limit circuits, and
other safety circuits in addition to any provided within the ZEN control circuits to
ensure safety of the overall system in the event of ZEN failure or external factors.
3. If the ZEN discovers an error during self-diagnosis, operation will be stopped and
all outputs will be turned OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems, external
safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the overall system.
4. Outputs from the ZEN may remain ON or OFF due to faults in internal circuits
such as output relay fusing or burning, or output transistor destruction. As a
countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided
to ensure safety in the overall system.
5. Fail-safe measures must be taken by the user to ensure overall system safety in
the event of broken signal lines or momentary power interruptions.
6. The durability of the output relays is largely affected by the switching conditions.
Confirm the operation of the system under actual operating conditions and set
the switching frequency to ensure that adequate performance will be provided.
Insulation faults and burning in the ZEN may result if relays are used after their
performance has deteriorated.
Connecting Expansion I/O Units
1. Supply power to both the CPU Unit and Expansion I/O Units from the same
power supply and turn them ON and OFF at the same time.
2. When connecting Expansion I/O Units with DC inputs to a CPU Unit with an AC
power supply, the burst noise immunity will be 1 kV (IEC 61000-4-4).
3. Expansion I/O Units with AC inputs (ZEN-8E1AR) cannot be connected to a CPU
Unit with a DC power supply.
System Startup and Program Changes
1. Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the
Unit.
2. Disconnect the output lines from the system before testing operation in any
system in which incorrect operation can result in injury or equipment damage.
3. Confirm safety before attempting any of the following operations.
• Changing the operating mode (RUN/STOP).
Precautions for Safe Use
Z211-E1-02A.book Page xvi Monday, May 21, 2007 12:38 PM
xvii
Precautions
• Using the button switches.
• Changing bit status or parameter settings.
4. Double-check all wiring before turning ON the power supply.
5. Refer to Cycle Time Calculation Method on page 130 and confirm that the
increase in the cycle time will not affect operation. If the cycle time is too long, it
may become impossible to read input signals accurately. The increase in the
cycle time will be particularly noticeable when set values are written in RUN mode
for a CPU Unit with communications (ZEN-10C4@R-@-V2).
Installation and Wiring
1. Do not allow the ZEN to fall during installation.
2. Be sure that the DIN Track mounting levers, Expansion I/O Units, Memory
Cassettes, Battery Units, cable connectors, and other items with locking devices
are properly locked into place. Improper locking may result in malfunction.
3. When mounting the ZEN to the surface of the control panel, tighten mounting
screws to the following torques.
CPU Units: 1.03 N⋅m max.
Expansion I/O Units: 0.46 N⋅m max.
4. Use wires with cross-sectional areas of 0.2 to 2.5 mm2 (equivalent to AWG24 to
AWG14) for wiring and strip them for 6.5 mm.
Handling
1. The environment of use of ZEN is "Pollution degree 2" and "Overvoltage category
II" specified in IEC60664-1.
2. Always use the ZEN within the rated ambient operating temperature and
humidity. The rated ambient operating temperature is 0 to 55°C for LCD-type
CPU Units and –25 to 55°C for LED-type CPU Units. If the ZEN is used near
sources of heat, such as a power supply, the internal temperature of the ZEN may
increase, lowering the durability of the ZEN.
3. Discharge static electricity from your body, e.g., by touching a grounded metal
plate, before touching any Unit.
4. The exterior of the Units will be damaged if it comes into contact with organic
solvents (e.g., benzene or paint thinner), strong alkalies, or strong acids. Never
allow such substances to come into contact with the Units.
5. Do not apply voltages exceeding the rated voltages. Internal elements may be
destroyed.
6. Short failures or open failures may result from the destruction of output elements.
Do not use loads that exceed the rated output current.
Maintenance
When replacing a CPU Unit, transfer to the new Unit and confirm all settings for clock
data, internal holding bits, holding timers, and counters before starting operation
again.
Transportation and Storage
1. Use special packaging boxes when transporting the ZEN and do not subject it to
excessive shock or vibration or drop it during shipment.
Z211-E1-02A.book Page xvii Monday, May 21, 2007 12:38 PM
xviii
Precautions
2. Store the ZEN at an ambient temperature of −40 to 75°C for LED-type CPU Units
and −20 to 75°C for all other types of CPU Units. If the ZEN has been stored at

Precautions
Installation Environment
1. Do not install the ZEN in the following locations.
• Locations subject to radical changes in temperature
• Location with high humidity subject to condensation
• Locations subject to excessive dust or dirt
• Locations subject to corrosive gas
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
2. Do not install the ZEN in locations subject to shock or vibration. Extended use in
such location may cause damage from stress.
3. In environments subject to static electricity (e.g., close to pipes conveying
forming materials, powders, or fluid materials), separate the ZEN as far as
possible from the source of static electricity.
4. The ZEN is neither waterproof nor oil-proof. Do not use it in locations subject to
water or oil.
5. Use the ZEN within the allowable power supply voltage range. Be particularly
careful in locations with bad power supply conditions, e.g., large fluctuations in
the power supply voltage.
6. Do not install the ZEN in locations subject to excessive noise, which may cause
the ZEN to fail.
7. Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the
following locations:
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity
Power Supply
1. Always turn OFF the power supply to the ZEN (CPU Unit and Expansion I/O
Units) before attempting any of the following.
• Assembling the ZEN
• Attaching or removing Expansion I/O Units
• Connecting or disconnecting any cables or wiring
• Attaching or removing the Memory Cassette
• Attaching or removing the Battery Unit
2. If the power supply is interrupted for 2 days or more (at 25°C), the internal
capacitor will discharge and internal bit status and the contents of PV areas will
be lost or corrupted and dates and times will be reset. When restarting operation
after the power supply has been interrupted for an extended period of time, check
the system in advance to confirm that no errors will occur.
Handling
1. Connect connectors only after confirming that the direction or polarity is correct.
2. Failures could result if dust or dirt enters the ZEN. Always connect the connector
cover to the computer connector whenever it is not being used.

Precautions
Conformance to EC Directives
Applicable Directives
•EMC Directives
• Low Voltage Directive
Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC
standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine.
The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards. The ZEN
complies with IEC/EN61131-2 clause 8. Whether the products conform to the standards
in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives will
vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or
control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore,
perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC
standards.
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to 1,500
VDC meet the required safety standards. The ZEN complies with IEC/EN61131-2 clause
11 except for 11.7.2.2.
Conformance to EC Directives
The ZEN complies with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the
ZEN is used complies with EC Directives, the ZEN must be installed as follows:
1. The ZEN is an open-structure device. To meet the requirements of IEC/EN 61131-2
for open-structure devices, the ZEN must be mounted inside a control panel and
protected from mechanical impact as described on page 36.
2. Do not exceed a cable length of 10 m when connecting transistor outputs.
3. Burst immunity will no longer meet IEC/EN 61131-2 requirements if an Expansion I/O
Unit with DC inputs is connected to a CPU Unit with an AC power supply.
4. ZEN models complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission
Standard (IEC/EN61131-2 clause 8). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m
regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control panel used, other
devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must
therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.

Countermeasures Countermeasure Exam les

Precautions
Relay Output Noise Reduction Methods
The ZEN conforms to EN 61131-2 of the EMC Directives. However, noise generated by
relay output switching may not satisfy these Standards. In such a case, a noise filter
must be connected to the load side or other appropriate countermeasures must be
provided external to the ZEN.
Countermeasures taken to satisfy the standards vary depending on the devices on the
load side, wiring, configuration of machines, etc. Following are examples of
countermeasures for reducing the generated noise.
Countermeasures
(Refer to EN61131-2 for more details.)
• Countermeasures are not required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system with the ZEN included is less than 5 times per minute.
• Countermeasures are required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system with the ZEN included is 5 times per minute or higher.
Countermeasure Examples
When switching an inductive load, connect an surge protector, diodes,
etc., in parallel with the load or contact as shown below.
Circuit Current Characteristic Required element
AC DC
CR method Yes Yes If the load is a relay or
solenoid, there is a time
lag between the moment
the circuit is opened and
the moment the load is
reset.
If the supply voltage is 12
to 48 V, insert the surge
protector in parallel with
the load. If the supply
voltage is 100 to 200 V,
insert the surge protector
between the contacts.
The capacitance of the
capacitor must be 1 to 0.5 µF
per contact current of 1 A and
resistance of the resistor must
be 0.5 to 1 Ω per contact
voltage of 1 V. These values,
however, vary with the load
and the characteristics of the
relay. Decide these values
from experiments, and take
into consideration that the
capacitance suppresses spark
discharge when the contacts
are separated and the
resistance limits the current
that flows into the load when
the circuit is closed again.
The dielectric strength of the
capacitor must be 200 to
300 V. If the circuit is an AC
circuit, use a capacitor with no
polarity.

Precautions
Diode method No Yes The diode connected in
parallel with the load
changes energy
accumulated by the coil
into a current, which then
flows into the coil so that
the current will be
converted into Joule heat
by the resistance of the
inductive load.
This time lag, between
the moment the circuit is
opened and the moment
the load is reset, caused
by this method is longer
than that caused by the
CR method.
The reversed dielectric
strength value of the diode
must be at least 10 times as
large as the circuit voltage
value. The forward current of
the diode must be the same as
or larger than the load current.
The reversed dielectric
strength value of the diode
may be two to three times
larger than the supply voltage
if the surge protector is
applied to electronic circuits
with low circuit voltages.
Varistor method Yes Yes The varistor method
prevents the imposition of
high voltage between the
contacts by using the
constant voltage
characteristic of the
varistor. There is time lag
between the moment the
circuit is opened and the
moment the load is reset.
If the supply voltage is 12
to 48 V, insert the varistor
in parallel with the load. If
the supply voltage is 100
to 200 V, insert the
varistor between the
contacts.

For CPU Units with 10 I/O points, the input bit addresses I0 to I5 and
output bit addresses Q0 to Q3 (Q0 to Q2 for CPU Units with
communications) are always allocated to the CPU Unit.
For CPU Units with 20 I/O points, the input bit addresses I0 to Ib and
output bit addresses Q0 to Q7 are always allocated to the CPU Unit.
Up to 3 Expansion I/O Units can be added and input bit addresses X0

2-2-4 Wiring CPU Units with AC Power Supplies
■Wiring the CPU Unit Power Supply
• To prevent voltage drops due to starting currents and inrush
currents in other devices, wire the ZEN power supply circuit
separately from other power circuits.
• When using more than one ZEN, to prevent voltage drops due to
inrush current and circuit-breaker malfunctions, it is
recommended that each one is wired separately.
• To prevent the influence of noise from power lines, twist the
power lines. Wiring via a 1-to-1 isolation transformer is also
effective.
• Use wires that are thick enough to allow for voltage drops and
current variations within the allowable range.
• Include a circuit protector or breaker installed separately from
other circuits in the power supply circuit for the ZEN.

Connecting 2-Wire AC Sensors
A two-wire sensor cannot be connected directly to the AC input. To
connect a two-wire sensor, attach an external bleeder resistance in
the way shown below.
• Example: Connecting to a CPU Unit or Expansion I/O Unit
a) Use a resistance that satisfies both of the following
conditions.
b) Because of heat generation, use a resistor with at least the
following wattage.
Note Calculating the Bleeder Resistance
when Connecting an OMRON E2E-
X10Y 2-Wire AC Sensor
This calculations in this example
are based on an input voltage of
85 to 110 V AC.
The following values are from the
Sensor datasheet.
The Sensor's maximum leakage
current is 1.7 mA.

25 V or less (i.e., the OFF voltage for the ZEN) is 5 mA, as shown
in the residual voltage characteristic graph.
From the formulas given above,
R1 ≤ 25 V AC/1.7 mA= 14.7 kΩ
R2 ≤ 85 V AC/5 mA = 17 kΩ
The bleeder resistor must thus be 14 kΩ.
The Sensor output current in this case would be 100 VAC/14 kΩ,
or 7 mA. This satisfies the Sensor's control output range of 5 to
300 mA.
The bleeder resistor capacity is calculated as shown below and
must be 3 W.

outputs in the transistor output circuits have independent circuits. The
terminals of output have polarity given on the terminal block, but no
problem will result from reversing the connection positions of the
power supply and load.
For CPU Units with 20 I/O points, outputs Q0 to Q3 in the transistor
output circuits have independent circuits and outputs Q4 to Q7 have
2 points per common. The terminals of output Q0 to Q3 have polarity
given on the terminal block, but no problem will result from reversing
the connection positions of the power supply and load.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Do not exceed a cable length of 10 m when connecting transistor
outputs.

Wiring Section 2-2
Output Wiring Precautions
(1) Output Short Circuit Protection
We recommend adding a protective fuse to all output circuits to
protect the output elements and PCBs from burning if the load
connected to the output terminal short-circuits.
(2) Inductive Loads
When connecting an inductive load to an input, connect a surge
protector or diode in parallel with the load.
The surge protector’s components should have the following ratings:
The diode should satisfy the following requirements:
Peak reverse-breakdown voltage must be at least 3 times the load
voltage.
Average rectified current must be 1 A.

(3) Inrush Current Considerations
When switching a load with a high inrush current in the ZEN relay
output or transistor output model, such as an incandescent lamp,
suppress the inrush current as shown below.
(4) Fuse Insertion
The ZEN with transistor output may burn if the load is short-circuited,
therefore, insert a protective fuse in series to the load.
