n CAUTION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE
Installation in Enclosure
Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must
be installed and used within conductive control boxes. Please use
the FX3GE Series programmable logic controllers while installed in
conductive 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.
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 FX3GE Series PLC main unit.

4. SPECIFICATIONS AND WIRING
DANGER 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.
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).
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.
Note that when an error occurs in a relay 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 builtin programming connectors, power connectors or I/O connectors.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
• Even if the AC power supply causes an instantaneous power failure
for less than 10 ms, the PLC can continue to operate.
• If a long-time power failure or an abnormal voltage drop occurs,
the PLC stops, and output is turned off. When the power supply is
restored, it will automatically restart (when the RUN input is on).
CAUTION WIRING PRECAUTIONS
• Connect the AC power supply to the dedicated terminals specified 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. Doing so may damage the
product.
• Use class D grounding (grounding resistance of 100Ω or less) with
a wire of 2mm² or thicker on the grounding terminal of the FX3GE
Series main unit. However, do not connect the ground terminal at the
same point as a heavy electrical system.
• When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris
does not enter the ventilation slits. Failure to do so may cause fire,
equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Make sure to properly wire to the terminal 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.
• Input/output wiring 50 to 100m (164'1" to 328'1") long will cause
almost no problems of noise, but, generally, the wiring length should
be less than 20m (65'7") to ensure the safety.
4.1 WIRING
n CABLE END TREATMENT AND TIGHTENING TORQUE
• For the terminals of FX3GE series PLC, M3 screws are used.
The electric wire ends should be treated as shown below.
• Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.5 to 0.8 N•m.
• Do not tighten terminal screws with a torque exceeding the
regulation torque.
• Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

n INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING INPUT DEVICES
In the case of no-voltage contact The input current of this PLC is
5 to 7mA/24VDC. Use input devices applicable to this current. If
no-voltage contacts (switches) for large current are used, contact
failure may occur.
In the case of input device with built-in series diode The voltage
drop of the series diode should be approx. 4V or less. When lead
switches with a series LED are used, up to two switches can be
connected in series. Also make sure that the input current is over the
input-sensing level while the switches are ON.
In the case of input device with built-in parallel resistance Use a
device with a parallel resistance of 15kΩ or more. When the resistance
is less than 15kΩ, connect a bleeder resistance.
In the case of 2-wire proximity switch Use a two-wire proximity
switch whose leakage current is 1.5mA or less when the switch is off.
When the current is 1.5mA or more, connect a bleeder resistance.
