Safety Precautions
(Read these precautions before use.)
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
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.
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 Precautions
(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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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.

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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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.

Grounding
Grounding should be performed as stated below.
The grounding resistance should be 100 or less.
Independent grounding should be performed for best results.
When independent grounding can not be performed, perform "shared grounding" as shown in the following
figure.

4. Cautions on use
1) Cautions on using FX1S and FX0N PLCs
When FX1S and/or FX0N PLCs are included in the system, make sure to set the refresh range to pattern
0.
If any other pattern is selected, data transfer error will occur in all FX1S and FX0N PLCs included in the
system, and the link time will become longer.
2) Occupied devices
The devices used in each pattern are occupied for the N:N Network in all stations.
Make sure that such devices are not used in general programs.
2. Detailed contents
When any response is not given after the specified number of retries, the irresponsive station is regarded as
having a data transfer sequence error by other stations.
2. Detailed contents
If data transfer between the master station and a slave station requires time longer than the monitoring time
set here, the master station or slave station is regarded as abnormal.

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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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.

Cautions
1) When using bit devices in a command requiring specification in 1-word units, make sure that the head
device number is a multiple of "8".
2) Special auxiliary relays and special data registers are classified into ones for read only, write only and
ones for system only.
If data is written to any range in which writing is not allowed, an error may occur in the PLC.
For details on special auxiliary relays and special data registers, refer to the manual of the PLC.
3) In FX1S, FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, FX3U, FX1NC, FX2NC and FX3UC PLCs, the PLCs cannot access the program
area (in the built-in RAM, memory cassette and built-in EEPROM) when users set file registers (D).
In FX 3U and FX3UC PLCs, extension registers (R) cannot access extension file registers (ER) in a
mounted memory cassette.
In FX3G PLCs, extension registers (R) cannot access extension file registers (ER).

When the number of read or written points exceeds "64"*3, the transfer time increase.
Accordingly, for achieving efficient data transfer, it is recommended to decrease the number of types of

This chapter explains the wiring.
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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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.

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:
G
Non-Protocol
Communication
(FX2N-232IF)
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.

(RS/RS2 Instruction)

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

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.

When there is data to be sent from a PLC to the computer, the on-demand function can specify the data
register area storing the data to be sent, and let the PLC start sending.
When data is sent between the computer and a PLC, only the computer can start data transmission.
When there is emergency data to be sent from a PLC to the computer, the on-demand function is applicable
to let the PLC begin sending data to the computer.

Important points
The on-demand send processing signal (M8127 or M8427) turns ON when the PLC gives a request to
send data to the computer, and turns OFF when sending of the specified data is completed. Use this signal
for interlock to prevent giving two or more on-demand requests at the same time.
While the on-demand send processing signal is ON, the PLC cannot receive commands sent from the
computer.
Amount of on-demand data and number of data registers used for sending according to the unit
specification (word or byte)
When the specified unit is a word:
The amount of on-demand data is equivalent to the number of data registers to be sent.
When the specified unit is a byte:
Two on-demand data units use one data register for sending.
Example: When the amount of on-demand data is "5", the number of data registers for sending is "3".

2. Cautions on use
Do not use both the parameters and communication format setting devices (D8120 or D8420) at the same
time. If the communication format is set using both methods at the same time, priority is given to the setting
using parameters.
When setting the communication format device (D8120) in an FX0N PLC, set the communication setting
latched (battery backed) device (M8120) to ON.
When using computer link, make sure to set the header (b8) and terminator (b9) to "not provided". And set the
protocol (b14) to "used".
If the communication format is set using the special data register, the setting becomes valid when the power
is turned ON after the setting is written to the special data register.
1. Detailed contents
Set the station number of each PLC used in computer link. The applicable setting range is from 0 to 15 (from
H00 to H0F).
In FX1S, FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, FX3U, FX1NC, FX2NC and FX3UC PLCs, the contents set using parameters are
stored when the power is turned ON.
In FX0N, FX2(FX), and FX2C PLCs, set the station number using a sequence program, and then turn ON the
power.
In all PLCs except FX3G, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs and in FX3G, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs using communication
port ch1, use D8121.
Set the station number using parameters when using the communication port ch2 in FX3G, FX3U and FX3UC
PLCs.
Use D8421 for confirmation.
2. Cautions on use
Do not use both the parameters and station number settings device (D8121 or D8421) at the same time. If the
station number is set using both methods at the same time, priority is given to the setting using a parameter.
When setting the station number settings device (D8121) in an FX0N PLC, set the communication setting
latched (battery backed) device (M8120) to ON.

This chapter explains the wiring.
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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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.

- Even if the drive condition turns ON, the PLC does not start execution of EXTR instruction until the
communication port busy flag M8155 turns OFF from ON if M8155 was set to ON by another EXTR
instruction.
The PLC waits for 15 ms after freeing the communication port, and then executes EXTR instructions
driven in the next step and so on.

2) Cautions on programming
When the drive contact for another EXTR instruction is driven by a pulse signal during communication
with an inverter, the communication is not executed.
When communicating with inverters for two or more items, let the drive contact for EXTR instruction
remain ON until sending is completed. After communication with all inverters is finished, set the drive
contact to OFF using the instruction execution complete flag M8029.

The instruction code "HFD (inverter reset)" does not request response from the inverter. Accordingly,
even if inverter reset is executed to a station number in which an inverter is not connected, error does
not occur.
It takes about 2.2 seconds to complete execution of inverter reset.

8.2.2
The differences from practical example 1 are that the inverter status is not read while data is written to an
inverter, and that the contents to be written are detected and written to an inverter only when the contents to
be written are changed.
Because communication between the PLC and the inverter is minimum in this program, the communication
time is reduced and the response time is improved.

- Even if the drive condition turns ON, the PLC does not start execution of an inverter communication
instruction until the communication port busy flag M8151 turns OFF from ON, if M8151 is already set to
ON by another inverter communication instruction.
The PLC waits for 15 ms after freeing the communication port, and then executes the inverter
communication instructions driven in the next step and so on.

When "display of the number of times of password reset error" is made valid in the D700 Series using
Pr297 and when a password reset error occurs 5 times, the "reading/writing restriction" cannot be
reset even if the right password is input.
For recovery from this status, it is necessary to all-clear all parameters in the D700 Series.

When the value given as a result of reading Pr297 is "0" to "4", registration of the password is

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.

As an example of operation control, an inverter can be stopped (X000), rotated forward (X001) and rotated
reverse (X002).
By changing the contents of D10, the speed can be changed.
The contents of D10 can be changed from a sequence program or display unit.

Communication
The differences from practical example 1 are that the inverter status is not read while data is written to an
inverter, and the contents to be written are written to an inverter only when change in the contents to be
written are detected.
Because communication between the PLC and the inverter is minimum in this program, the communication
time is reduced and the response time is improved.

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 line.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not use grounding
with heavy electrical systems.
Make sure to properly wire the FX0N/FX2N Series extension equipment 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.
Make sure to properly wire to the European terminal board 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 be 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. Cautions on sending
When sending data, observe the following cautions
1) While the sending request flag (M8122) is ON, do not change the amount of send data or contents of
send data.
2) Do not set the sending request flag (M8122) to OFF in a sequence program.
If the send data is changed while the sending request flag (M8122) is ON or if the sending request flag
(M8122) is set to OFF in a sequence program, correct data will not be sent.
6.2.5
F-44
When data receiving is suspended, counting of the timeout time is started immediately. If the PLC does not
receive the next set of data within the time-out time setting set by D8129, the time-out check flag (M8129) is
set to ON. At this time, the receiving complete flag (M8123) is set to ON also.
The time-out time setting (D8129) can be set to a value from 1 to 255 (10 ms to 2550 ms).
Data
D8129
10 ms
ON
The time-out check flag (M8129) does not turn OFF automatically.
Set it to OFF in the sequence program. (When M8123 is set to OFF, M8129 is also set to OFF.)
Using this function, the PLC can receive data from equipment where the amount of send data varies without
the terminator.
When interlink mode is selected as the communication format, the following sequence is adopted from the
start of receiving to completion:
2) When the external equipment suspends data sending, the PLC sets the time-out check flag (M8129) and
receiving complete flag (M8123) to ON after the time-out time setting (D8129).
Move the received data in a sequence program, and then set the receiving complete flag (M8123) and
time-out check flag (M8129) to OFF.
F
Non-Protocol
Communication
(RS/RS2 Instruction)
3) When the receiving complete flag (M8123) is set to OFF, the control line ER (DTR) turns ON.
When the control line ER (DTR) turns ON, resume sending data from the external equipment.
E

Communication
1) When the amount of data already received becomes "number of bytes to be received -30", the control line
ER (DTR) turns OFF.
When the control line ER (DTR) turns OFF, the external equipment should suspend data sending.
After the control line ER (DTR) turns OFF, the PLC can receive up to 30 characters (bytes).

5. Cautions on receiving
When receiving data, observe the following cautions:
2) When RS instruction is driven, the receiving complete flag (M8123) remains OFF in an FX1S, FX1N, or
FX1NC PLC if the amount of received data (n) is "0", but the PLC does not wait to receive.
To make the PLC wait to receive, it is necessary to set the amount of received data "n" to "1" or more and
set the receiving complete flag to OFF from ON.

FX2N (Ver. 2.00 or later), FX3G, FX3U, FX2NC, and FX3UC PLCs execute full-duplex, bidirectional
communication. When executing half-duplex, bidirectional communication, pay attention not to set the
sending request to ON while receiving. If the sending request is set to ON, the PLC starts to send. As a result,
the external equipment may not be able to receive data, and the sent and received data may be destroyed.
In full-duplex, bidirectional communication, the sending wait flag M8121 does not turn ON.
In FX3G, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs, however, the sending wait flag M8121 remains ON while the DR (DSR) is

In the interlink mode, the PLC sets ER (DTR) signal to OFF 30 characters before reaching the
specified amount of received data, and asks the external equipment to stop sending. After that, the
PLC can only receive up to 30 characters. In this case, temporarily stop sending, and then send the
remaining data after the ER (DTR) signal turns ON again.
When sending is stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after the time-out time setting is reached.
When sending is not stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after it has received the final send data or 30
characters. Accordingly, make sure that the amount of received data is "30 + ".

When sending data, observe the following cautions
1) While the sending request flag is ON, do not change the amount of send data or the contents of the send
data.
2) Do not set the sending request flag to OFF in a sequence program.
If the send data is changed while the sending request flag is ON or if the sending request flag is set to

5. Cautions on receiving
When receiving data, observe the following cautions
1) While the receiving complete flag is ON, the PLC cannot receive the next set of receive data.
When the receiving complete flag is set to OFF, the PLC waits to receive.
2) Set the amount of received data to a value including "terminators", "sum check" and "CR+LF".
If the specified amount of received data is small, the serial communication error flag (M8062, M8063 or
M8438) turns ON.

On the external equipment side, set the DR (DSR) signal to ON when the external equipment is ready
to receive.
The FX3G/FX3U/FX3UC PLC sends the send data when both the DR (DSR) signal and the sending
request turn ON.
*2.
In the interlink mode, the PLC sets the ER (DTR) signal to OFF 30 characters before reaching the
specified amount of received data, and asks the external equipment to stop sending. After that, the
PLC can only receive up to 30 characters. In this case, temporarily stop sending, and then send the
remaining data after the ER (DTR) signal turns ON again.
When sending is stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after the time-out time setting is reached.
When sending is not stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after it has received the final send data or 30
characters. Accordingly, make sure that the number of receive characters are "30 + ".
3) While RS2 instruction is being driven, change of D8370, D8400 or D8420 is prohibited.
To change D8370, D8400 or D8420, set the RS2 instruction to OFF, set D8400 or D8420 to "0", and then
set a new value to D8400 or D8420.
5) FX3G, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs execute full-duplex, bidirectional communication. When using half-duplex,
bidirectional communication, pay attention not to turn ON the sending request flag while receiving.
6) When using the header and terminator, set them before driving the RS2 instruction. Do not change the
setting while the RS2 instruction is being driven.
Communication Error
When a communication error occurs, the error flag M8062 turns ON during communication using ch0, the
error flag M8063 turns ON during communication using ch1, or the error flag M8438 turns ON during
communication using ch2.
D8063 or D8438 stores the error code respectively.

M8401 remains ON while the PLC is waiting to send in communication using communication port ch1.
M8421 remains ON while the PLC is waiting to send in communication using communication port ch2.
In full-duplex communication
While the control line is set to the standard or interlink mode in the communication parameter, when the
control line DR (DSR) turns OFF while sending data, the PLC waits to send and M8401 or M8421 turns
ON.
In half-duplex communication
When the sending request device is set to ON while data is being received, the PLC waits to send and
M8401 or M8421 turns ON.

Receiving is completed in one of the following three conditions.
When the PLC receives the amount of receive data specified by the RS2 instruction
When the terminators are set, and the PLC receives the code set by the terminator
When data receiving is suspended and the PLC does not receive the next set of data within the time set by
the time-out time setting device
When the receiving complete flag turns ON, transfer the received data to another storage destination, and
then set this flag to OFF.
When this flag is set to OFF, the PLC waits to receive.
2. Cautions on use
When the RS2 instruction is driven while the amount of received data is set to "0", the PLC does not wait to
receive. To make the PLC wait to receive it is necessary to set the amount of received data "n" to "1" or more
and set the receiving complete flag to OFF from ON.

Connection to PLC
The 232IF can be directly connected to an FX PLC main unit or to the right side of another function block or
powered extension unit.
The unit number is assigned to each special unit/block in the order "No. 0, No. 1, No. 2 ..." from the unit/block
nearest to the main unit. (for FX3UC-32MT-LT(-2) PLC, the unit number is assigned in the order "No. 1, No. 2,
No. 3 ...".)
Up to eight 232IF units can be connected to an FX2N/FX3U/FX3UC*1 PLC, up to four 232IF units can be
connected to an FX2NC PLC.

The communication format setting contents are determined when the sending/receiving enable command
(BFM #1, b0) turns ON.
Accordingly, it is necessary to transfer the communication format setting in advance using TO instruction
before setting the sending/receiving enable command to ON.
However, the sending header and sending terminator are determined when the sending command (BFM #1,
b1) turns ON. And the receiving header and receiving terminator are determined when the sending/receiving
enable command (BFM #1, b0) turns ON and the receiving complete flag reset command (BFM #1, b2) turns
ON. Accordingly, if only the header and terminator are changed in the middle of communication, such change
will become valid at the next sending/receiving operation, (so it is not necessary to turn OFF the sending/
receiving enable command).

3) When the "RS-232C interlink connection mode (b9 = 1, b8 = 1)" is specified, the sending request (RS)
signal works as the receiving enable signal for the 232IF. When the 232IF receives data beyond the
maximum number of receivable bytes (BFM #2), it turns OFF the receiving enable (RS) signal to ask the
external equipment to suspend sending.
At this time, by withdrawing the contents of the received data buffer to data registers in the PLC using a
sequence program, the 232IF can continuously receive the remaining data.
When this mode is specified, make sure to perform the interlink connection for RS-232C.
For the wiring of equipment according to each setting, refer to Chapter 4.
For the operation of the control line, refer to Section 5.5.

1. b0 (sending/receiving enable)
While b0 is ON, the 232IF can send and receive data.
Because the contents of the following set items are determined at the rising edge of b0, transfer these values
in advance using the TO instruction before setting b0 to ON:
- BFM #0 (communication format)
- BFM #9 and 8 (receiving header)
- BFM #11 and 10 (receiving terminator)
At the rising edge of b0, the error occurrence status (BFM #28, b3) and error code (BFM #29) are cleared.
2. b1 (sending command)
At the rising edge of b1, the contents of the send data buffer (BFM #1001 to 1256) in the amount of bytes
specified (BFM #1000) are sent to the external equipment.
When sending is completed, the sending complete status (BFM #28, b0) is set to ON. When the next sending
command (b1) is given, the sending complete status (BFM #28, b0) is automatically set to OFF.
When the sending command is given, the contents of the following set items are determined:
- BFM #5 and 4 (sending header)
- BFM #7 and 6 (sending terminator)
4. b3 (error reset)
When b3 is set to ON, the contents of the error occurrence status (BFM #28, b3) and error code (BFM #29)
are cleared.

"0" is handled as "512" or "256 bytes". The initial value is "0".
This bit specifies the maximum number of bytes which can be received by the 232IF.
When the 232IF receives the maximum number of receivable bytes, it sets the receiving complete flag (BFM
#28, b1) to ON.
If the receiving terminator (BFM #11 and 10) or receiving timeout time (BFM #3) are set, the 232IF recognizes
that receiving is completed even if the already received data does not reach the maximum number of
receivable bytes when either condition is satisfied.

Up to four terminators can be specified for the 232IF received data. When the number of terminators is less
than 4, "0"s in upper positions are ignored (0 suppression) and are not transferred.
For the terminator received first, specify an ASCII code from "01H" to "1FH". (For other terminators after that,
any ASCII code other than "01H" to "1FH" can be specified.)
The register structure and transfer order are the same as those of the sending header described above.

This buffer stores the 232IF status and sending/receiving result as the status information. The PLC can read
this buffer using the FROM instruction.
1. b0 (sending complete)
When sending the specified amount of bytes (BFM #1000) is completed, the sending complete flag (b0) is set
to ON.
The sending complete flag (b0) is automatically set to OFF when the next sending command (BFM #1, b1) is
set to ON.
2. b1 (receiving complete)
When the maximum number of receivable bytes (BFM #2) are received, the receiving complete flag (b1) is set
to ON.
If the receiving terminator (BFM #11 and 10) or receiving timeout time (BFM #3) is set, the 232IF recognizes
that receiving is completed even if the already received data does not reach the maximum number of
received bytes when either condition is satisfied.
It is necessary to set this receiving complete flag to OFF in a sequence program. The 232IF is not ready to
receive the next set of data while this bit is ON. Use the receiving complete flag reset command (BFM #1, b2)
to set this bit to OFF.
3. b2 (receiving timeout)
When the receiving timeout time (BFM #3) is reached during receiving, the receiving timeout bit (b2) is set to
ON. And the receiving complete flag (b1) is also set to ON.
The receiving timeout status (b2) is set to OFF when the receiving complete flag reset command (BFM #1,
b2) is executed.
4. b3 (error occurrence)
When an error occurs during sending or receiving, the error occurrence status bit (b3) is set to ON and the
contents of the error are stored in the error code (BFM #29).
5. b4 (receiving suspended)
When the 232IF receives data beyond the maximum number of receivable bytes (BFM #2) in the RS-232C
interlink connection mode (BFM #0, b9 = 1, b8 = 1), it sets the receiving enable (RS) signal to OFF and asks
the external equipment to suspend sending. After the receiving suspension waiting time (BFM #12), the 232IF
sets the receiving suspended status bit (b4) to ON.
To receive data beyond the maximum number of receivable bytes (BFM #2) in the interlink connection mode,
it is necessary to monitor the rising edge of this receiving suspended status bit (b4) in the sequence program,
and withdraw the number of received bytes (BFM #2000) or amount of received data buffers (BFM #14) from
the received data buffer (BFM #2001 to 2271) to data registers inside the PLC.
6. b6 (sending)
This bit remains ON from when the sending command (BFM #1, b1) is given until the sending complete flag
(BFM #28, b0) is set to ON.
7. b7 (receiving)
This bit remains ON from when the head data is received until the receiving complete flag (BFM #28, b1) is
set to ON.
8. b8 (RS), b9 (ER), b12 (DR), b13 (CD), b14 (CS) and b15 (CI)
These bits indicate the operation status by their ON/OFF status.

Make sure that the CS (CTS) signal turns ON in the 232IF while the external equipment is ready to
receive.
*2.
When the amount of data already received exceeds the maximum number of receivable bytes
specified by BFM #2, the RS (RTS) signal turns OFF. Accordingly, sending is suspended from the
external equipment within 30 bytes when the send/receive data buffer data length is 16-bit (BFM #0,
b14= 0), or within 15 bytes when the send/receive data buffer data length is 8-bit (BFM #0, b14= 1).
If sending is not suspended, the 232IF cannot receive all sent data.
*3.
Read the amount of received bytes (BFM #14) from the received data buffer (BFM #2001 to 2271) to
data registers in the PLC, and then set it to ON.

Other cautions
1. For FX1S, FX1N, FX1NC and FX2N (whose version is before Ver. 2.00) PLCs
2) If RS instruction is used in the program, delete it, turn OFF the PLC power, and then turn it ON again.
2. For FX2N (Ver. 2.00 or later) and FX2NC (versions earlier than Ver. 3.00) PLCs
2) If RS instruction is used in the program, do not execute it. If it is executed, the PLC operates according to
RS instruction.
1) Verify that the communication format is in the initial status (D8120 = K0).
Check the communication parameters using the peripheral equipment.
If the communication is set so that non-protocol procedure (RS instruction) or a dedicated protocol is
used, clear the setting to "0" using the peripheral equipment.
