Caution for EC Directive
Installation in Enclosure
Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and
used within conductive control cabinets. Please use the programmable logic
controller while installed within a conductive shielded control cabinet. Please secure
the cabinet door to the control cabine t (for conduction). Installation within a c ontrol
cabinet greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the
programmable logic controller.
Control cabinet
- The control cabinet must be conductive.
- G round the control cabinet with the thickest possible grounding cable.
- To ensure that there is electric contact between the control cabinet and its door,
connect the cabinet and its doors with thick wires.
- I n order to suppress the leakage of radio waves, the control cabinet structure
must have minimal openings. Also, wrap the cable holes with a shielding cover
or other shielding devices.
- T he gap between the control cabinet and its door must be as small as possible
by attaching EMI gaskets between them.
*1 These wires are used to improve the conductivity between the door and control
cabinet.
Note for compliance with EN61131-2: 2007
General note on the use of the power supply cable.
The FX
3U-1PG unit requires that the cable used for power supply is 30 m or less.
The shield of the twisted pair cable used for the FP, RP, PG0, and CLR signal wires
should be grounded at both ends of the cable.
Please attach a ferrite core less than 200 mm from the other end of the FP, RP,
PG0, and CLR signal wires. The ferrite core should be a product equivalent to
ZCAT3035-1330 by TDK Corp.

PRECAUTIONS
When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring debris
do not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
Be sure to remove the dust proof sheet from the PLC's ventilation port when
installation work is completed.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
Make sure to attach the top 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.
Connect extension cables securely to their designated connectors.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.
2.1 Connection with PLC
The FX3U-1PG connects on the right side of an PLC main unit or extension units/
blocks (including special function units/blocks).
For connection to an FX
FX
2NC-CNV-IF or FX3UC-1PS-5V is required.
For details, refer to the respective PLC manual.
2.2 Mounting
The product is mounted by the following method.
DIN rail mounting
Direct mounting (mounting screw: M4 screw)
For details, refer to the respective PLC manual.
3. Specification
For details on specifications, refer to the 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 m ovements (such as
normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to preve nt 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 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 an d mechanisms should
be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
DESIGN
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 lines.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of a shielded cable. Do not use common
grounding with heavy electrical systems.
Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the terminal
blocks.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before
attempting wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
Connect the DC power supply wiring to the dedicated terminal 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.
Make sure to attach the top 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.

PRECAUTIONS
When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring debris do
not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
Make sure to properly wire the 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.

PRECAUTIONS
Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the
environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.
TRANSPORTATION AND
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger
than those specified in the general specifications of the PLC main un it manual.

3.7 Wiring Precautions
1) The power supply used for FP, RP, PG0, and CLR should be separate from
the power supply used for the other signals.
2) In an environment with a lot of nois e, when malfunctions such as position
gap occur, the influence of noise may be mitig ated with the following
measures.
Attach a noise filter (TDK-Lambda Corp. MXB-1210-33 or similar) on the
FX
3U-1PG power supply line, one on the end nearest the servo amplifier,
and one on the end nearest the power supply unit.
Attach a ferrite core (TDK Corp. ZCAT3035-1330 or similar) to the VIN, FP,
RP, PG0, and CLR signal wires, on the end nearest the servo amplifier.
