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 .

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

Reference

• 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 24V DC service power supply 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 peripheral device connectors.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.

Safety Precautions

(Read these precautions before use.)

• Do not supply power to the [24+] and [24V] terminals (24V DC service power supply) on the main unit or extension
units.
Doing so may cause damage to the product.

• Perform class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100 or less) to the grounding terminal on the main unit and

extension units with a wire 2 mm2 or thicker.
Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems (refer to section 9.3).

• Connect the AC power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals described in this manual.
If an AC power supply is connected to a DC input/output terminal or DC power supply terminal, the PLC will burn
out.

• Connect the DC power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals described in this manual.
If an AC power supply is connected to a DC input/output terminal or DC power supply terminal, the PLC will burn
out.

• Do not wire vacant terminals externally.

Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

• Make sure to properly wire the FX3G Series main unit and FX2N/FX3U 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.

- 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

FX3G Series Programmable Controllers

User's Manual - Hardware Edition

Caution for compliance with EC Directive

1. Installation in Enclosure

Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and used within conductive
control boxes. Please use the FX
shielded control boxes. Please secure the control box lid to the control box (for conduction). Installation within
a control box greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the programmable logic
controller.

2. Caution for Analog Products in use

The analog products 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 if adequate EMC precautions are 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 special adapters/boards/blocks or through a user's
program in the FX

3G Series PLC main unit.
