Safety Precautions

(Read these precautions before use.)
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
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
cause severe injury.
It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety.
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.
• This product shall be powered by a UL Listed or Recognized 24 V DC
isolating source when the DC power supply type product is powered by a
power supply converted from hazardous voltages.
• Use the battery for memory backup correctly in conformance to FX
User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
- Use the battery only for the specified purpose.
- Connect the battery correctly.
- Do not charge, disassemble, heat, put in fire, short-circuit, connect
reversely, weld, swallow or burn the battery, or apply excessive forces
(vibration, impact, drop, etc.) to the battery.
- Do not store or use the battery at high temperatures or expose to direct
sunlight.
Analog input/output
The analog input/output have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best
performance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output
devices, Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points.
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered
carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators),
these users should follow those manufacturers' installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If NO other EMC
protection is provided, users may experience temporary loss or accuracy between
+10% / -10% in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that adequate EMC precautions be
followed for the users complete control system.
- Sensitive analog cables should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible, users should run analog
cables separately.
- Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth,
ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.
- When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved by averaging
the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the analog
products or through a user's program in the FX Series PLC main unit.

1. Features and cautions on using FX PLC
3GE
FX PLC has an Ethernet communication function and analog input/output
3GE
function built into a base that is FX PLC.
3G
This section describes below differences between FX and FX
3G 3GE
on use.
For details, refer also to the FX Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
3G
→ Refer to FX Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
3G
1.1 Additional function from the FX series
3G
• Ethernet communication function
The PLC has a Ethernet communication function (Equivalent to FX
ADP).
• Analog input/output function
The PLC has analog input 2 channels, analog output 1 channel (Equivalent to
FX -3A-ADP). Specifications differ from FX -3A-ADP in part. For details,
3U 3U
refer to Chapter 6.
1.2 Programming tool
GX Works2 Ver. 1.91V or later can be used. Select "FX3G" in "PLC Type". When
setting "Ethernet port settings", using GX Works2 Ver.1.91V or later.
FX-30P and GX Developer can also be used. However, "Ethernet port setting"
cannot be set.
In the case that the version does not support FX 3G , the programming tool can still
be used by choosing FX . However, programming is enabled only in the
1N
functional range such as instructions, device ranges and program sizes available
in a PLC selected as the alternative model.
1.3 Using the built-in Ethernet
When GX Works2 or MX Component is used, set the parameter settings and
connection destination settings of the built-in Ethernet using the same settings as
FX 3U -ENET-ADP.
1.4 Terminal block
The input/output terminal block of FX 3GE series PLC is built-in.
Terminal block cannot be removed.
STARTUP AND
MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
- Do not expose to water, bring near fire or touch liquid leakage or other contents
directly.
- When replacing the battery, make sure to use our specified product (FX
32BL).
- When a battery error occurs ("ALM" LED is lit in red), follow the description in
FX Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
3G
- Incorrect handling of the battery may cause heat excessive generation,
bursting, ignition, liquid leakage or deformation, and lead to injury, fire or
failures and malfunctions of facilities and other equipment.
• 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.
STARTUP AND
MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the memory cassette.
If the memory cassette is attached or detached while the PLC's power is on, the
data in the memory may be destroyed, or the memory cassette may be damaged.
• 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 off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the following devices.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
- Peripheral devices, display module, and expansion boards
- Extension units/blocks and special adapters
- Battery and memory cassette
• For cleaning, perform dry wiping without using chemicals.
• If there is the possibility of touching the PLC inside a control panel in
maintenance,make sure to discharge to avoid the influence of static electricity.
DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the
environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.
When disposing of batteries, separate them from other waste according to local
regulations.
(For details of the Battery Directive in EU countries, refer to FX
Manual - Hardware Edition.)
TRANSPORTATION AND
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• When transporting the FX Series PLC incorporating the optional battery, turn
3GE
on the PLC before shipment, confirm that the battery mode is set using a
parameter and the ALM LED is OFF, and check the battery life.
If the PLC is transported with the ALM LED on or the battery exhausted, the
battery-backed data may be unstable during transportation.
• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger
may also
than those specified in Section 3.1. Failure to do so may cause failures in the
PLC.
After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.
• When transporting lithium batteries, follow required transportation regulations.
(For details of the regulated products, refer to FX
Hardware Edition.)

1.5 System configuration
- Special adapters can be directly connected to the main unit.
(It is not necessary to connect a connector conversion adapter.)
- One communication and one analog expansion option can be connected.
Expansion is available for one expansion board and two special adapters. But the
expansion board cannot be connected when two special adapters are connected.
- 40 point I/O type cannot use the BD1 slot.
- FX 3G -CNV-ADP, FX 3U -ENET-ADP cannot be connected.
- The communication channel of the built-in Ethernet is CH1. When a
communication expansion board or a communication special adapter is
connected to the PLC, that communication channel becomes CH2.
- The built-in analog is the analog special adapter first unit.
When an analog expansion board is connected, the analog expansion board
becomes second unit. When an analog special adapter is connected, the analog
special adapter becomes second unit.
Please refer to the following for details.
