This sheet provides brief operating instructions of the MICROSmart programmable controller.
For details, see the FC6A Series MICROSmart User’s Manual.

Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use the MICROSmart.
● Read this instruction sheet and the user's manual to make sure of correct operation before starting
installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and inspection of the MICROSmart.
Keep this instruction sheet where it can be accessed by the end user.
● All MICROSmart modules are manufactured under IDEC's rigorous quality control system, but users
must add backup or failsafe provisions to control systems use the MICROSmart in applications where
heavy damage or personal injury may be caused if the MICROSmart should fail.
● Install the MICROSmart according to the instructions described in this instruction sheet and the user's
manual. Improper installation will result in falling, failure, or malfunction of the MICROSmart.
● Make sure that the operating conditions are as described in the user’s manual. If you are uncertain
about the specifications, contact IDEC before using the MICROSmart.
● In this instruction sheet, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance from Warning and Caution:(4) Cable Terminal

2. Place the CPU module and Analog I/O
module / PID module side by side.
Put the expansion connectors together foreasy alignment.

3. With the expansion connectors aligned
correctly and the unlatch button in the down
position, press the CPU module and Analog
I/O module / PID module together until thelatches click to attach the modules together
firmly. If the unlatch button is in the up
position, push down the button to engage
the latches.

Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or damage to equipment.
● Turn off the power to the MICROSmart before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, orinspection on the MICROSmart. Failure to turn off the power may cause damage, electrical shocks or fire hazard.

● Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the MICROSmart. If such a

Mounting Modules[Mounting on DIN Rail]Use a 35-mm-wide DIN Rail and BNL6 mounting clips to secure the modules.

(2) Put the groove of themodule on the DIN Rail.
35-mm-wide DIN Railin places where it is subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases,
excessive vibrations, or excessive shocks itwill result in electrical shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction.
● The environment rating for using the MICROSmart is “Pollution degree 2.”● Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the MICROSmart housing. Ingressof such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunction.
● Use wires of a proper size to meet voltage and current requirements. Tighten terminal screws to theproper tightening torque. (Power supply Terminals: 0.51 N-m, Input Terminals and Output Terminals: 0.28 N-m)
● Use an IEC60127-approved fuse on the power line and output circuit to meet voltage and current
requirements.(Recommended fuse: Littelfuse 5×20mm slow-blow type 218000 series/Type T)
This is required when exporting equipment containing MICROSmart to Europe.
● Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when exporting equipment containing
MICROSmart to Europe.
● If relays or transistors in the MICROSmart output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off.
For output signals which may cause heavy accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside of the MICROSmart.
● Do not disassemble, repair, or modify MICROSmart modules.
