Before installation, operation, maintenance or inspection of this product, thoroughly read through and understand this manual and all of the associated manuals. Also, take care to handle the module properly and safely. This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: and . Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury. Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical damage. Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by may also cause severe injury. It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety. Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be taken out and read whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user. 1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC failure. Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents. 1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits). 2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be disabled. External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case. 3) Note that the output current of the service power supply for sensors varies depending on the model and the absence/presence of extension blocks. If an overload occurs, the voltage automatically drops, inputs in the PLC are disabled, and all outputs are turned off. External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case. 4) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or off. For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case. • To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against unauthorized access from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall. • Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or power line. Noise may cause malfunctions. • Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the built-in programming port, power connectors, I/O connectors, communication connectors, or communication cables. Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure. (1) Safety Precaution (Read these precautions before use.) 2. WIRING PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product. • Make sure to attach the terminal cover, offered as an accessory, before turning on the power or initiating operation after installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. • Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the PLC under the influence of noise: 1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line or load line. Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines. 2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems. • Make sure to properly wire the terminal block in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Tighten the screws using a Phillips-head screwdriver No.2 (shaft diameter 6mm (0.24") or less). Make sure that the screwdriver does not touch the partition part of the terminal block. • Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires. - Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends. - Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of unspecified size. - Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected parts are directly stressed. 3. STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS • Do not touch any terminal while the PLC's power is on. Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunctions. • Before cleaning or retightening terminals, cut off all phases of the power supply externally. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. • Before modifying or disrupting the program in operation or running the PLC, carefully read through this manual and the associated manuals and ensure the safety of the operation. An operation error may damage the machinery or cause accidents. • Do not change the program in the PLC from two or more peripheral equipment devices at the same time. (i.e. from a programming tool and a GOT) Doing so may cause destruction or malfunction of the PLC program. • Do not disassemble or modify the PLC. Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions. For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric representative. • Turn off the power to the PLC before connecting or disconnecting any extension cable. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions. • Turn of the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the peripheral devices, expansion boards, special adapters, and expansion memory cassette. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product. • Make sure to attach the terminal cover, offered as an accessory, before turning on the power or initiating operation after installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. WIRING PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the PLC under the influence of noise: 1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line or load line. Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines. 2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems. • Make sure to properly wire the terminal block in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Tighten the screws using a Phillips-head screwdriver No.2 (shaft diameter 6mm (0.24") or less). Make sure that the screwdriver does not touch the partition part of the terminal block. • Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires. - Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends. - Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of unspecified size. - Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected parts are directly stressed. 4.1 1 Wiring Procedure Preparing for wiring Prepare cables and terminal resistors required for wiring. 2 3 4 For details, refer to Section 4.2. Turning OFF the power to the PLC Before starting any wiring work, make sure that the PLC power is OFF.

For cautions on program creation, refer to Section 7.4. I Remote Maintenance Apx.A Discontinued models B-39 FX Series PLC User's Manual - Data Communication Edition N:N Network 7.4 7 Creating Programs 7.4 Cautions on Program Creation Cautions on Program Creation 1. Effect on the operation cycle When the N:N Network is used, the operation cycle in each PLC becomes longer by about 10% regardless of the number of linked stations and adopted communication patterns. 2. Program for setting the N:N Network 1) Make sure to create a program for setting the N:N Network from step 0 using M8038 (drive contact). Otherwise, the N:N Network is disabled. 2) Do not set M8038 to ON using a program or programming tool. 3) Set station numbers consecutively. If a station number that is used twice or more is skipped, link will not be achieved normally. 4) Pay close attention when setting up the N:N Network for the master station in a program using Structured Ladder, FBD or ST programming in the FX1S, FX1N, FX1NC, FX2N or FX2NC PLC. For details, refer to Section 7.2. 3. Program for reading link devices Do not change the contents of link devices at other stations. 1) When a link error (data transfer sequence error) occurs, the link device information is held in the status just before occurrence of the link error. Create a fail-safe program which does not cause abnormality even if a link error occurs. 4. Cautions on using FX0N/FX1S PLCs 1) Link pattern when FX0N/FX1S PLCs are used or included When FX0N/FX1S PLCs are included in the system, make sure to set pattern 0 in D8178 (refresh range setting). If any other pattern is set, data transfer error occurs in all FX0N/FX1S PLCs included in the system, and the link time becomes longer. 2) When user devices are occupied as system devices In FX0N/FX1S PLCs, M503 to M511 and D201 to D255 are handled as devices dedicated to the N:N Network, and cannot be handled as general devices any more. Do not set these devices to ON or OFF using a user program, display unit or programming tool. If these devices are set to ON or OFF, the N:N Network may malfunction. 5. Cautions on using FX3G/FX3GC/FX3U/FX3UC PLCs 1) Only ch 1 or ch 2 can be set in the N:N Network. 2) Do not use the N:N Network and parallel link at the same time. (For example, it is not allowed to use ch1 for the N:N Network and use ch2 for parallel link.) 6. Link device update timing Link device update in N:N network is executed in the interrupt processing. Because the interrupt processing is generated asynchronously from operations of the sequence program, it may be performed during ladder operation.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product. • Make sure to attach the terminal cover, offered as an accessory, before turning on the power or initiating operation after installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. WIRING PRECAUTIONS • Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the PLC under the influence of noise: 1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line or load line. Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines. 2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems. • Make sure to properly wire the terminal block in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Tighten the screws using a Phillips-head screwdriver No.2 (shaft diameter 6mm (0.24") or less). Make sure that the screwdriver does not touch the partition part of the terminal block. • Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in accordance with the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product. - The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual. - Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual. - Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires. - Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends. - Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of unspecified size. - Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected parts are directly stressed. 4.1 1 Wiring Procedure Preparing for wiring Prepare cables and terminal resistors required for wiring. 2 3 4 For details, refer to Section 4.2.

Setting method types 1) Specifying the setting using parameters in the sequence programming software: Register the setting as parameters by executing communication setting on the personal computer screen using the sequence programming software, and transfer them to a PLC. (This method using parameters is not available for FX2(FX), FX2C, or FX0N PLCs.) 2) Specifying the setting by writing data to special data registers: Create a sequence program specifying the communication format, station number settings and time-out time setting, and then transfer the sequence program to a PLC. Caution A PLC operates in the same way regardless of the selected method shown above. If both methods are selected, priority is given to the method using parameters. 2.

Suppose that GX Works2 is already started up. 1 Computer Link 5.2.1 Communication Setting Using Parameter Method (GX Works2) C Parallel Link Since the special data registers (D8120, D8121, D8129) is a battery backed area in the case of the FX2N, FX2NC, FX3U and FX3UC series, a value cannot be normally saved when the battery is discharge (or after a battery error occurs). Therefore, keep in mind that a computer link setting may not be possible in this case. B N:N Network 1) When specifying the setting using parameters: When the PLC power is turned ON, the parameters set using the parameter setting window in the sequence programming software are automatically transferred to the PLC. As soon as the parameters are transferred to the PLC, the setting becomes valid. After the program (parameters) are transferred to the PLC, it is necessary to reboot the PLC’s power. 2) When specifying the setting by writing data to special data registers: Set the PLC mode from STOP to RUN, write the required data, reboot the PLC’s power. As soon as the PLC power is turned ON, the setting becomes valid. Common Items 4.

While the PLC is in RUN mode For requests from the computer, the PLC executes access for one request during each END processing. Sending and receiving are executed as interrupts. Accordingly, when sending and receiving are executed, the scan time is longer by about 10%. The scan time can be checked in D8010 to D8012 in the PLC. 2. Condition in which the transfer sequence in the PLC is initialized The transfer sequence in the PLC is initialized in the following cases: - When the power is turned ON - When regular sending/receiving is completed - When the control code "EOT" or "CL" is received in each format - When the control code "NAK" is sent - When the time-out time setting is detected For details on the time-out time setting, refer to Subsection 6.4.4. 3. Occurrence of framing error in the computer When a commercial interface in accordance with RS-485 is used in the computer, a framing error may occur while nothing is sent from the PLC to the computer depending on the interface in the computer. To cope with this nonconformity, let the computer ignore any data until the PLC sends STX, ACK or NAK. 4. Response of "NAK" from the PLC When an error is detected, the PLC sends NAK to the computer. 5. Command sending from the computer When sending commands from the computer to the PLC, wait for the interval times in the following table or more after the PLC finishes receiving data in response to the previous command, and then send the next command. PLC Interval times FX3U, FX3UC 300 s FX2N, FX2NC, FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC 100 s FX2(FX), FX2C, FX0N, FX1S, FX1N, FX1NC two scan times D-46 FX Series PLC User's Manual - Data Communication Edition 6 Control Procedures and Setting Methods Computer Link A How to Understand Control Procedure This section explains how to understand the transfer data shown in the later description of each function. 1.

Station number The station number indicates a number provided in each PLC to determine to which PLC the computer accesses. The station number is specified in hexadecimal. • In FX Series PLCs, set the station number using parameters. The setting range is from 00H to 0FH. • For the station number setting method in A Series PLCs, refer to the respective A Series PLC manual. Computer FX Series 485PC-IF FX Series 485 ADP Station No. 0 (00H) 485 ADP Station No. 1 (01H) FX Series 485 ADP Station No. 2 (02H) FX Series 485 ADP Station No. 15 (0FH) In FX2(FX), FX2C and FX0N PLCs, set a value to D8121. M8002 Initial pulse MOV H0 D8121 For details on the program, refer to Section 9.3. Cautions on setting station numbers 1) Do not overlap station numbers. If the same number is set for two or more stations, the transfer data is destroyed and normal communication is not possible. 2) It is not necessary to set consecutive station numbers as shown in the setting example above. Any station numbers in the setting range (00H to 0FH) are applicable. (Examples: Station numbers may be set arbitrarily. Some station numbers may be skipped.) D-50 FX Series PLC User's Manual - Data Communication Edition Computer Link 6 Control Procedures and Setting Methods 6.4 Basic Formats of Dedicated Protocol A 4. Command A command specifies the contents of access executed by the computer to a PLC. A command is converted into a two-digit ASCII code. For an explanation of commands, refer to Chapter 7. Example: When the message waiting time is set to 100 ms Message waiting time (100 ms) E Inverter Communication "A" Computer side PLC side The waiting time should be the interval times in the following table or more. Interval times FX3U, FX3UC 300 s FX2N, FX2NC, FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC 100 s F Non-Protocol Communication (RS/RS2 Instruction) Sending is started 100 ms or later. PLC D Computer Link The message waiting time should be specified because some computers require more time before receiving additional data. Set the waiting time according to the specifications of each computer. Set the waiting time within the range from 0 to 150 ms in 10-ms units. 10 ms is handled as "1H", and a value ranging from "0H (0)" to "FH (15)" is converted into a one-digit ASCII code. When executing communication using the 485PC-IF in a 1-to-N system adopting the one-pair wiring, make sure to set the message waiting time to 70 ms (7) or more. When the scan time of a PLC in the system exceeds 70 ms, set the message waiting time to the maximum scan time or higher. C Parallel Link 5. Message waiting time B N:N Network The PLC number is used to identify a PLC to be accessed when computer link is combined with the MELSECNET (II) or MELSECNET/B in A Series PLCs. The PLC number of each FX Series PLC is fixed to "FFH", and converted into two-digit ASCII code. When the on-demand function is used, however, the PLC number is automatically changed to "FEH" by the PLC. For the PLC number of an A Series PLC used together with the MELSECNET (II) or MELSECNET/B, refer to the respective A Series PLC manual. Common Items 3.

Sum check code The sum check code indicates a two-digit ASCII code converted from the least significant byte (8-bit) of the sum check target data added as hexadecimal data. Using the FX PLC parameters, set whether or not the sum check code is added in the message. - When "sum check code provided" is selected, the sum check code is added in the message during sending. During receiving, the sum check code is compared with the value calculated from the received data to check the received data. - When "sum check code not provided" is selected, the sum check code is not added, so the received data is not checked either. A calculation example of the sum check code is shown below. Example: When the station number "0", PLC number "FF", command "BR (device memory batch read)", message waiting time "30 ms" and data "ABCD" are transferred in format 1, the sum check code value is as shown below: Computer side E Station No. N Q 00 PLC No. FF Com- Mes- Character area Sum mand sage check wait code time A B C D BR BD 3 05H 30H 30H 46H 46H 42H 52H 33H 41H 42H 43H 44H 42H 44H PLC side 30H+30H+46H+46H+42H+52H+33H+41H+42H+43H+44H=2BDH Total from "station number" to "character area" D-52 Last two digits S T X 00 FF 02H 30H 30H 46H 46H 30 ms (Message waiting time) ...

Communication start timing At the rising edge (OFFON) of the drive condition, the PLC starts communication with an inverter. Even if the drive condition turns OFF during communication with an inverter, the PLC executes communication until the end. When the drive condition is always ON, the PLC executes communication repeatedly. 2. Simultaneous driving of EXTR instructions and communication processing 1) Driving instructions at the same time - Two or more EXTR functions (K10 to K13) can be programmed, and driven at the same time. - When two or more instructions are driven at the same time during communication, the next EXTR instruction in the program is executed after the current communication with an inverter is finished.

Using the EXTR instruction together with another instruction • The EXTR instruction cannot be used together with the RS instruction. • The EXTR instruction cannot be used together with a EXTR K0 instruction. 2. When programming the EXTR instruction in a state of a STL instruction Make sure to let the state relay remain ON until communication with an inverter is completed. If the state relay is set to OFF during communication, the EXTR instruction is stopped in the middle of execution, and another EXTR instruction cannot be started. Program a sequence while observing the following cautions • Add M8029 (instruction execution complete flag) ON condition to the state relay transfer condition, and provide such an interlock that the state relay ON/OFF status does not change during communication with an inverter. If the state changes during communication, communication may not be performed normally. • When resetting many state relays all at once using ZRST (FNC 40) instruction, etc., make sure that the M8155 (communication port busy) OFF condition is established. X000 SET M0 S0 S999 RST M0 Reset input M0 M8155 Communication port busy FNC 40 ZRST State relays S0 to S999 are reset all at once. 3. Using the EXTR instruction in a program flow The EXTR instruction cannot be used in the following program flows Program flow disabling the EXTR instruction Between CJ and P instructions Between FOR and NEXT instructions Between P and SRET instructions Between I and IRET instructions Remarks Conditional jump Repeat Subroutine Interrupt routine 4. Caution on write during RUN 1) Condition in which the EXTR instruction can be written While the PLC is in the STOP status, the EXTR instruction can be written during RUN. 2) Condition in which the EXTR instruction cannot be written The EXTR instruction cannot be written during RUN. If the EXTR instruction is written during RUN while communication or if the EXTR instruction is deleted in RUN mode, communication may be disabled after that. (In such a case, set the PLC to STOP, and then to RUN mode again to initialize the status.) 5. When using the E500 Series Parameters Nos. 922 and 923 in the E500 Series cannot be used in inverter communication.

Function and operation 1. Communication start timing At the rising edge (OFFON) of the drive condition, the PLC starts communication with an inverter. Even if the drive condition turns OFF during communication with an inverter, the PLC executes communication until the last instruction. When the drive condition is always ON, the PLC executes communication repeatedly. 2. Simultaneous driving of instructions and communication processing 1) Driving instructions at the same time - Two or more IVCK (FNC270) to IVMC (FNC275) instructions can be programmed, and driven at the same time. - When two or more instructions are driven at the same time in the channel used for communication, the latter inverter communication instruction in the program is executed after the current communication with the inverter has finished.

Using an inverter communication instruction together with another instruction • An inverter communication instruction using ch1 cannot be used together with a RS instruction. • An inverter communication instruction cannot be used together with a RS2 instruction if the RS2 instruction uses the same channel. 2. When programming an inverter communication instruction in a state of a STL instruction Make sure to let the state relay remain ON until communication with an inverter is completed. Program a sequence while observing the following cautions • Add M8029 (instruction execution complete flag) ON condition to the state relay transfer condition, and provide such interlock that the state relay ON/OFF status does not change during communication with an inverter. If the state changes during communication, communication may not be performed normally. • When resetting many state relays all at once using the ZRST (FNC 40) instruction, etc., make sure that the M8151 or M8156 (communication port busy) condition is OFF. X000 SET M0 S0 S999 RST M0 Reset input M0 M8151 Communication port busy FNC 40 ZRST State relays S0 to S999 are reset all at once. 3. Using an inverter communication instruction in a program flow An inverter communication instruction cannot be used in the following program flows Program flow disabling the inverter communication instruction Between CJ and P instructions Between FOR and NEXT instructions Between P and SRET instructions Between I and IRET instructions Remarks Conditional jump Repeat Subroutine Interrupt routine 4. Caution on writing during RUN 1) Condition in which inverter communication instruction can be written: While the PLC is in the STOP status, inverter communication instruction can be written during RUN. 2) Condition in which inverter communication instruction cannot be written: Inverter communication instruction cannot be written during RUN. If an inverter communication instruction is written during RUN during communication or if an inverter communication instruction is deleted while in RUN, communication may be disabled after that. (In such a case, set the PLC to STOP, and then to RUN mode again to initialize the status.) 5. When using the E500 Series Parameters Nos. 922 and 923 in the E500 Series cannot be used in inverter communication. E-102 FX Series PLC User's Manual - Data Communication Edition 9 Creating Programs (FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC, FX3U, FX3UC) Inverter Communication 9.3 Common Items in Inverter Communication Instructions A The FX PLC executes the first communication, and then retries communication twice (3 time in total). *2. When "display of the number of times of password disable error" is enabled using Pr297 and when a password disable error occurs 5 times, the "reading/writing restriction" cannot be disabled even if the right password is input. For recovery from this status, it is necessary to all-clear all parameters. When the value given as a result of reading Pr297 is "0" to "4", registration of the password is completed normally. F Non-Protocol Communication (RS/RS2 Instruction) *3. E Inverter Communication *1. D Computer Link 2) When registering the password When registering the password in the inverter using an inverter communication instruction, write the password to Pr297, read Pr297, and then confirm that registration of the password is completed normally*3. If writing of the password to Pr297 is not completed normally due to noise, etc., the FX PLC automatically retries writing, and the registered password may be reset by the retry. C Parallel Link Cases in which a password reset error occurs in an inverter communication instruction, and the actual number of times of reset error in such cases - When a wrong password is written to Pr297 due to a password input error When the writing instruction is executed once, a password reset error occurs 3 times. - When the password cannot be written correctly to Pr297 due to noise, etc. A password reset error occurs up to 3 times. B N:N Network 1) When a communication error occurs When a communication error occurs in an inverter communication instruction, the FX PLC automatically retries communication up to 3 times*1. Hence, when a password disable error occurs in the inverter in which "display of the number of times of password disable error"*2 is enabled using Pr297, please note that the number of times of password disable error displayed in accordance with the setting of Pr297 may not be the same as the actual number of times of password input error as described below. Do not execute automatic retry (re-driving of an inverter instruction) using a sequence program when writing data to Pr297. Common Items 6.
