Before You Start

Operating environment (Use the unit within the range of the general specifications when installing)

*Ambient temperatures:0 ~ +55 ℃
*Ambient humidity: 10% to 95% RH (at 25°C, non-condensing)
*Keep the height below 2000m.
*For use in pollution Degree 2 environment.
*Do not use it in the following environments.

- Direct sunlight

- Sudden temperature changes causing condensation.

- Inflammable or corrosive gas.

- Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter.

- Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia

or caustic soda.

- Direct vibration, shock or direct drop of water.

- Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment,

radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges.
(Min.100mm or less）

Static electricity

-Before touching the unit, always touch a grounded piece of metal in order to discharge static electricity.

-In dry locations, excessive static electricity can cause problems.

Wiring the Power Supply to the Control Unit

- Use a power supply wire that is thicker than 2 mm2 (AWG14), and twist it.

- The unit has sufficient noise immunity against the noise generated on the power line.

However, it is recommended to take measures for reducing noise such as using a isolating transformer
before supplying the power.

- Allocate an independent wiring for each power supplying line, input/output device and operating device.

- If using a power supply without a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective

element such as a fuse.

- Be sure to supply power to a control and an expansion units from a single power supply.

Turning on/off of the power of all the units must be conducted simultaneously.

Power supply sequence

In order to protect the power supply sequence, make sure to turn off the control unit before the
input/output power supply. If the input/output power supply is turned off before the control unit, or if the
control unit is not shut off momentarily, the controller detects change of input level, and might conduct an
unexpected operation.

Before turning on the power

When turning on the power for the first time, be sure to take the precautions given below.

• When performing installation, check to make sure that there are no scraps of wiring, particularly

conductive fragments, adhering to the unit.

• Verify that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring, and power supply voltage are all correct.

• Sufficiently tighten the installation screws and terminal screws.

• Set the mode selector to PROG. Mode.

Before entering a program

Be sure to perform a program clear operation before entering a program.

Operation procedure when using FPWIN GR Ver.2

Select “Online Edit Mode” on the FPWIN GR “On line” menu.
Select “Clear Program” on the “Edit” menu.
When the confirmation dialog box is displayed, click on “Yes” to clear the program.

Request concerning program stor a ge

To prevent the accidental loss of programs, the user should consider the following measures.

• Drafting of documents

To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying files, or overwriting the contents of a file, documents
should be printed out and then saved.

• Specifying the password carefully

The password setting is designed to avoid programs being accidentally overwritten. If the password is
forgotten, however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even if you want to. Also, if a
password is forcibly bypassed, the program is deleted. When specifying the password, note it in the
specifications m anual or in another safe location in case it is forgotten at some point.

• Upload protection

When the upload protection setting is specified, programs will be disabled to be read out. If the setting
is cancelled forcibly, all programs and system registers will be deleted. Therefore, note that programs
and system registers should be managed on your own responsibility.

Backup battery

Do not install the battery when it is not used.
There is a possibility of leak if the battery remains discharged.

Max. 300 points

Note:

- Up to eight units of FP-X can be connected, however, the restrictions on each expansion unit vary.

- For AFPX-E16/E14: Two units cannot be connected consecutively since the power should be supplied
from the unit with the power supply (as no power supply is built in AFPX-E16).
E16 expansion I/O unit cannot be connected on the right side of the control unit or AFPX-E30.

- For AFPX-E30: There is no restriction on AFPX-E30 so that up to 8 units can be connected
consecutively.

- The total length of the expansion cable should be within 160 cm.

1.3.2 Restrictions on FP0 Expansion U nit

Up to three dedicated FP0 expansion units can be added using the FP-X and the expansion FP0 adapter.
The relay output type and the transistor output type can be used in combination.

Note1) Up to seven FP-X expansion I/O units can be also installed between the control unit and the

expansion FP0 adapter.

Note2) Only one expansion FP0 adapter can be installed at the last position of the FP-X expansion bus.

(It should be installed at the right hand side of the AFPX-E16 and E30.)

Note:

• Install the FP0 thermocouple unit on the right side of other expansion units. If it is installed on the left

side, the total precision will deteriorate.

• Install the FP0 CC-Link slave unit on the right side of the other expansion units. There is no expansion

connector on the right side.

2. One application cassette can be installed in either cassette mounting part 1 or 2 of C30/C60.

3. As only one communication cassette can be installed in the cassette mounting part 1, it should be
installed on the application cassette if the application cassette is installed. (It cannot be installed in the
cassette mounting part 2.)

4. The add-on cassette cannot be installed in the expansion connector part of C60 (it does not work).

5. The pulse I/O cassette cannot be installed on the FP-X Tr type.
