3.1 Cable end treatment and tightening torque
3.1.1 Screw type terminal block
For the terminals of FX5U CPU module and I/O module, 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 with a torque outside the above-mentioned range.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
When one wire is connected to one terminal
When two wires are connected to one terminal
3.1.2 European type terminal block
1) Wire size
2) Treatment of wire ends
Strip the coating of strand wire and twist the cable core before connecting
it, or strip the coating of single wire before connecting it. An alternative
connection is to use a ferrule with insulating sleeve.
When using a wire ferrule with an insulating sleeve, choose a wire with
proper cable sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, otherwise
the wire cannot be inserted easily.
Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.22 to 0.25 Nm.
Do not tighten terminal screws exceeding with a torque outside the above-
mentioned range.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
3) Tool
For tightening the terminal, use a
commercially available small
screwdriver having a straight
form that is not widened toward
the end as shown right.
Note:
If the diameter of screwdriver grip is too small, tightening torque may not be
achieved. To achieve the appropriate tightening torque shown in the table
above, use the following screwdriver or appropriate replacement (grip
diameter: approximately 25 mm).
3.2 Power supply specifications and external wiring
3.2.1 Power supply specifications [CPU module, FX5-32E]
*1 When the supply voltage is 200 V AC, the time can be change to 10 to
100 ms by editing the user program.
*2 This item shows value when all 24 V DC power supplies are used in the
maximum configuration connectable to the CPU module. (The current of
the input circuit is included.)
*3 The AC power type has 24 V DC service power supply, and the DC
power type has 24 V DC built-in power supply. When I/O modules are
connected, they consume current from the power supply.
*4 Capacity of 24 V DC service power supply when service power supply is
used for the input circuit. The value in () is capacity of 24 V DC service
power supply when external power supply is used for the input circuit.
*5 The value in [] is capacity of 24 V DC power supply in the case where
operating ambient temperature is lower than 0.
*6 The value in () is capacity of power supply when the supply voltage is
16.8 to 19.2 V DC.
*7 Power is supplied to I/O modules, intelligent function modules, expansion
adapters and expansion boards.
The following manual shows further information.
Refer to MELSEC iQ-F FX5U User’s Manual (Hardware).
Connect the power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals 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.
Do not wire vacant terminals externally.
Doing so may damage the product.
Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to malfunction of the PLC
caused by abnormal data written to the PLC due to the effects of noise.
- Do not bundle the power line, control line and communication cables
together with or lay them close to the main circuit, high-voltage line,
load line or power line. As a guideline, lay the power line, control line
and communication cables at least 100 mm away from the main circuit,
high-voltage line, load line or power line.
- Ground the shield of the shielded wire or shielded cable at one point on the
PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems.
Ground the shield of the analog input/output cable at one point on the
signal receiving side.
However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems.

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
).
Bring the grounding point close to the PLC as much as possible so that the
ground cable can be shortened.
