It is not safe for a beginner. Many things can go wrong. The PLC could have a password set, keeping you from doing anything to it (let us hope it has in this case). If there is important operating data in the PLC, that will be lost. You may not be able to get the old program restored exactly as it was.Is it safe ? Are there any traps ?
There are many different Mitsubishi models, and each model can have different Input and Output modules. Any strange PLC program that you get will not be set up for the same model, or the same Inputs, or the same outputs, so it probably will not run in your particular Mitsubishi PLC. If you did get a program to run, it could be dangerous because the PLC probably is hooked up to Outputs that may run motors, turn on heaters, and do other things that you would not expect.
