3.1 Wiring
3.1.1 Cable end treatment and tightening torque
For the terminals of FX3U 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 Nm.
Do not tighten terminal screws exceeding the specified torque.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
When one wire is connected to one terminal
<Reference>
When two wires are connected to one terminal
<Reference>
3.1.2 Removal and installation of quick-release terminal
block
Removal Unscrew the terminal block mounting screw [both right
and left screws] evenly, and remove the terminal block.
Installation Place the terminal block in the specified position, and
tighten the terminal block mounting screw evenly [both
right and left screws].
Tightening torque 0.4 to 0.5 Nm
Do not tighten the terminal block mounting screws
exceeding the specified torque.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or
malfunctions.
(
*
) Pay attention so that the center of the terminal block
is not lifted.

1) Does not include the power consumption of extension units/
special extension units, and of the extension blocks/special
extension blocks connected to those units.
For the power (current) consumed by the extension units/
blocks for input/output, refer to FX
3U Series User's Manual -
Hardware Edition.
For the power consumed by the special extension units/
blocks, refer to the appropriate manual.
(
*
2) When input/output extension blocks are connected, the 24 V
DC service power supply is consumed by the blocks, and the
current value to be used by the main unit is reduced.
The AC power (AC input) type and DC power type do not have
a service power supply.
(
*
3) Cannot be used to supply power to an external destination.
The power is supplied to input/output extension blocks,
special extension blocks, special adapters and expansion
boards.
The following manual shows further information.
Refer to FX3U Series User’s Manual - Hardware Edition.
(
*
4) When the supply voltage is 200 V AC, the time can be
changed to 10 to 100 ms by editing the user program.
(
*
5) When supply voltage is DC 16.8 to 19.2 V, the connectable
extension equipment decreases. The following manual shows
further information.
Refer to FX3U Series User’s Manual - Hardware Edition.
(
*
6) When attaching high-speed input/output special adapter
(FX3U-4HSX-ADP, FX3U-2HSY-ADP) and special function
block (FX0N-3A, FX2N-2AD, FX2N-2DA), the number of
connectable modules to the main unit is limited, due to the
current consumption (internal 24 V DC) at startup. The
following manual shows further information.
Refer to FX3U Series User’s Manual - Hardware Edition.
(
*
7) 250 V 5 A is specified for the power fuse of FX3U-32MR/UA1.
3.2.2 Example of external wiring (AC power type)
100 to 240 V AC power is supplied to the main unit and input/output
extension units. For the details of wiring work, refer to section 3.1.
3.2.3 Example of external wiring (DC power type)
24 V DC power is supplied to the main unit and input/output
extension unit. For the details of wiring work, refer to section 3.1.
3.3 Grounding
Ground the PLC as stated below.
Perform class D grounding. (Grounding resistance: 100 or
less)
Ground the PLC independently if possible.
If it cannot be grounded independently, ground it jointly as shown
below.
Use ground wires thicker than AWG14 (2 mm
2
).
Position the grounding point as close to the PLC as possible to
decrease the length of the ground wire.
3.4 Input specifications and external wiring
As for the details of the input specifications and external wiring, refer
to the following manual.
Refer to FX3U Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
