Precautions

1. Power Connection
   • Use a 24VDC power supply within specified tolerances (±10% voltage fluctuation).
   • Isolated power supplies are recommended to reduce electrical interference.
2. Communication Configuration
   • Avoid IP address conflicts when configuring Ethernet ports.
   • Different communication ports can run different protocols simultaneously, but bandwidth and resources must be allocated appropriately.
3. Motion Control Applications
   • Use dedicated motion control modules and cables when configuring motion axes.
   • Ensure servo/stepper drive parameters match those of the DL250-1.
4. Environmental Requirements
   • Avoid operation in environments with high temperature, humidity, dust, or corrosive gases.
   • Use cooling measures if ambient temperature exceeds 55°C.
5. Program Backup
   • Regularly back up programs and configuration data to prevent loss due to battery failure or hardware issues.
6. Troubleshooting
   • Use LED indicators to diagnose common faults (power issues, communication errors, CPU abnormalities).
   • Utilize DirectSoft diagnostic tools for in-depth fault analysis.
