Differences in Specifications After Replacement
The differences in specifications of the SFC program between FX3U/FX3UC and FX5U/FX5UC are shown below.
*1 When the number of steps exceeds 128, a stop error (31B3H) will occur.
*2 When the number of steps exceeds 128, a stop error (31B4H) will occur.
*3 After replacement, the setting is “Initial Start”. To use “Resume Start”, it is necessary to change the parameter and install the optional
battery.
*4 If a reset jump is contained in an FX3U/FX3UC project, the reset jump will be replaced with an end step when the project is replaced
with an FX5U/FX5UC project.
