Materials and Special Tools Needed
You may require the following materials and tools for
installation:
• a suitable power module, such as one of the following
types:
- 24 VAC or 24 VDC, in-line, DIN mount capable,
with grounding wire
- 120-240 VAC, in-line, DIN mount capable, with
grounding wire
- FX-PM: external wall-mount power adapter (input
90-254 VAC, 50-60 Hz, output: 15 VDC, 1A),
where FX-PM varies by AC wall plug, for
installation locale (for example, FX-PMUS for U.S.
or Japan installation, FX-PMEU for European
installations, type C plug, or FX-PMUK for United
Kingdom installations, type B plug)
• if using a 24 VAC power module, either one of the
following:
- UL listed, Class 2, 24 VAC transformer, rated at
minimum of 7.5 VA to 20 VA (approximate range
of controller alone, to fully expanded unit with four
additional NDIO16 modules and other option
boards). A dedicated transformer is required.
- 24 VDC power supply, capable of supplying at
least 1 A (24 W)
• DIN Rail: type NS35/7.5 (35 x 7.5 mm) and DIN rail
end clips. Length of DIN rail depends on the number
of optional DIN rail mounted options.
• suitable tools and fasteners for mounting unit and
accessories.
• #2 Phillips screwdriver: used to install and remove
any option card.
• small flat-blade screwdriver: used for making wiring
connections to removable screw terminal plugs and
mounting and removing modules from the DIN Rail.
Safety Precautions
The following information relates to the installation and
startup of the FX30E/FX60E.
Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect the power supply
before making electrical connections. Contact with
components carrying hazardous voltage can cause
electric shock and may result in severe personal injury
or death.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique.
Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser tout
branchement électrique. Tout contact avec des
composants conducteurs de tensions dangereuses
risque d'entraîner une décharge électrique et de
provoquer des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
Important: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring
connections in accordance with local,
national, and regional regulations. Do not
exceed the FX30E/FX60E electrical ratings.
Important: Do not install or use the FX30E/FX60E in
or near environments where corrosive
substances or vapor could be present.
Exposure of the FX30E/FX60E to corrosive
environments may damage the device's
internal components, and will void the
warranty.
Important: Use this FX30E/FX60E only as an operating
control. Where failure or malfunction of the
FX30E/FX60E could lead to personal injury
or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional
precautions must be designed in the control
system. Incorporate and maintain other
devices, such as supervisory or alarm
systems or safety or limit controls, intended
to warn of or protect against failure or
malfunction of the FX30E/FX60E.

Static Discharge Precautions
Static charges produce voltages high enough to damage
electronic components. The microprocessors and
associated circuitry within an FX30E/FX60E are sensitive
to static discharge.
Important: Work in a static-free area. Discharge any
static electricity you may have accumulated.
Discharge static electricity by touching a
known, securely grounded object. Do not
handle the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
without proper protection against static
discharge. Use a wrist strap when handling
PCBs. Secure the wrist strap clamp to earth
ground.
Accessories
The FX30E/FX60E has a 20-pin, right-angle, Euro-DIN
connector that accepts accessory modules. The
connector provides power and signal lines to any
connected modules. The connector is located on the end
of the FX30E/FX60E opposite the option cards.
Important: Turn off power to the FX30E/FX60E before
inserting or unplugging accessory modules.
Wait for the LED activity to stop (all LEDs
off).
Risk of Property Damage. Do not apply power to the
system before checking all wiring connections. Short
circuited or improperly connected wires may result in
permanent damage to the equipment.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque dégâts matériels. Ne pas
mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir vérifié tous
les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant un court-circuit
ou connectés de façon incorrecte risquent
d'endommager irrémédiablement l'équipement.
Each accessory module has a DIN-mount base, and
typically provides two 20-pin connectors that allow you
to chain multiple accessories (see DIN Rail Mounting
Instructions). Table 1 lists the currently available modules.

3FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions
Mounting
Mount the FX30E/FX60E in a location that allows
clearance for wiring, servicing, and module removal.
Follow these recommendations and precautions when
mounting and installing the unit.
• Use this controller for indoor use only. Do not expose
the unit to ambient conditions outside the range of 0
to 50ºC (32 to 122ºF) and relative humidity outside
the range of noncondensing 5 to 95% (Pollution
Degree 3).
• Supply voltage requirements are as follows:
Allowable voltage fluctuation to -15%, +10%,
-
Temporary overvoltages +/- 15%
- Transient overvoltages: Overvoltage Category 2
• For a controller mounted inside an enclosure, ensure
that the enclosure is designed to keep the unit within
its required operating range (considering a 20-watt
dissipation by the controller). This enclosure is
especially important if the controller is mounted inside
an enclosure with other heat producing equipment.
• Do not mount the unit:
in an area where excessive moisture, corrosive
-
fumes, or explosive vapors are present
- where vibration or shock is likely to occur
- in a location subject to electrical noise. This
includes the proximity of large electrical
contactors, electrical machinery, welding
equipment, variable frequency drives, and spark
igniters.
• Mount the unit on a 35-mm wide DIN rail
(recommended). The FX30E/FX60E unit base and
its accessories have molded DIN rail slots and locking
clips. Mounting these components on a DIN rail
ensures accurate alignment of connectors between
all modules.
• If DIN rail mounting is impractical, use screws in
mounting tabs on the FX30E/FX60E and in any
end-connected accessory (power module, NDIO
module). See Figure 2 for tab dimensions.
DIN Rail Mounting Instructions
1. Securely install the DIN rail using at least two screws
near both ends of the rail.
2. Position the FX30E/FX60E on the rail, then tilt it to
hook the DIN rail tabs over one edge of the DIN rail
(Figure 3).
3. Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic locking clip,
and push the FX30E/FX60E down and in, which
forces the locking clip to snap over the edge of the
DIN rail.
4. Mount the accessory modules (NDIO modules and
power module) onto the DIN rail in the same manner
(Figure 5). See Table 1 for quantities allowed.
5. Slide the accessory along the DIN rail to connect its
20-position plug into the FX30E/FX60E.
6. Repeat these instructions for all accessories, until all
are mounted on the DIN rail and firmly connected to
each other. For an example, see Figure 4.
Physical Mounting
The following information applies to the physical mounting
of the FX30E/FX60E.
• You do not need to remove the cover before
mounting.
• Mount the FX30E/FX60E in any orientation.
To keep the final assembly together, secure the
assembly at both ends with DIN rail end-clips. This
action also prevents the assembly from sliding on the
DIN rail. See Figure 4.

Removing and Replacing the
Cover
The FX30E/FX60E cover is removable. You must remove
the FX30E/FX60E cover to connect the optional battery
on a new unit, to replace the optional battery on an
existing unit, or to install any optional communication
cards. The cover snaps onto the base with four plastic
tabs (two on each end). To remove the cover, press in
the four tabs on both ends of the unit and lift off the cover.
Figure 6: Removing and Replacing the Cover
Note: If accessory modules are plugged into the
FX30E/FX60E, you may need to slide them away
from the unit to get to the cover tabs.
To replace the cover, position it so the cutout area for the
communication ports is correct, then push inward to snap
in place.

Board Layout
See Figure 7 for the location of LEDs, option slots, and
other features of the FX30E/FX60E. See Figure 10 for a
side view of communication ports and other features. The
FX30E/FX60E ships with onboard static RAM (SRAM)
that can provide station backup during power loss, and
also has two open option card slots for a variety of
available option cards.
