Caution for compliance with EC Directive
Please use the FX3GE Series programmable 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 controller.
For the control panel, use the product having sufficient strength, fire protectiveness and shielding property to an installation environment.
Caution for compliance with the LVD directive (EN61010-2-201:2013)
To an external connection port other than AC power supply terminal and AC input/output terminal, connect the circuit separated from a dangerous voltage by a double/reinforced insulation.
Between the commons having the adjacent relay output terminals, if an external power supply is higher than 120 V AC, the insulation is basic. Therefore, when using 120 V AC or higher external power supply and 30 V DC/ AC or lower external power supply between the adjacent commons, do not handle 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply as a touchable part, (When handling 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply as a touchable part, add a basic insulation.)
Do not wire two or more crimp terminals to one terminal. (If the wiring with two or more wires is needed,take an appropriate action such as adding an external terminal.)
For crimp terminals to be used for the wiring applied with 30 V AC or higher, use the products with insulating sleeves.
Cutoff device such as a breaker or a circuit protector should be installed in accordance with the following precautions.
- Use EN60947-1 or EN60947-3 standards.
- Place the cutoff device so that it can be o perated easily.
- Specify that the cutoff device is for this equipment.

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.
- S ensitive 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.
- W hen 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
3GE Series PLC main unit.

4. Power supply/input/output specifications and external wiring example of the main unit part

As for the details of the power supply wiring and input/output wiring, refer to the
1)
following manual.
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 tur ned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output co ntrol 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 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.
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
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 connectors, power connectors or I/O connectors. Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
Refer to FX
3G Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
Notes
Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the main unit and extension devices.
Even if the AC power supply causes an instantaneous power failure for less than 10 ms, the PLC can continue to operate.
Even if the DC power supply causes an instantaneous power failure for less than 5 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).
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.
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.
B
Doing so may damage the product.
Perform class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100Ω or less) to the grounding
terminal on the FX Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems (refer to section 4.3).
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 disposa l size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in
the manual.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications i n the manual.
- Tighten the screws using a Ph illips-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.
3GE
Series main unit with a wire 2 mm2 or thicker.
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.
Extension cables are easily affected by noise. Lay the cables at a distance of at least 30 to 50mm (1.19” to 1.97”) away from the PLC output and other power lines.
The temperature rating of the cable should be 80°C or more.

4.1 Wiring

This section explains the wiring of the terminal type. For the connectors types, refer to the following manual.

4.1.1 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 1.25 N•m. Do not tighten terminal screws with a torque outside the above-mentioned range. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
