3. Connection of the FX-2PIF
The FX-2PIF cannot be connected to the 422BD.
Connect it to the standard port.
2.3.2 When using 232BD or 232ADP
When the 232BD or 232ADP is attached to a PLC, it consumes the current shown in the table below. Make
sure that the power capacity of 5V DC in the FX
2N/FX3U/FX1NC/FX2NC/FX3UC PLC is not exceeded.
: Applicable
—: Not attachable
2.3.3 Other cautions
1. For FX1S, FX1N, FX1NC and FX2N (whose version is before Ver. 2.00) PLCs
1) Verify that the communication format is in the initial status (D8120 = K0).
Check the communication parameters using the peripheral equipment.
If the communication is set so that non-protocol procedure (RS instruction) or a dedicated protocol is
used, clear the setting to "0" using the peripheral equipment.
2) If RS instruction is used in the program, delete it, turn OFF the PLC power, and then turn it ON again.
2. For FX2N (Ver. 2.00 or later) and FX2NC (versions earlier than Ver. 3.00) PLCs
1) Verify that the communication format is in the initial status (D8120 = K0).
Check the communication parameters using the peripheral equipment.
If the communication is set so that non-protocol procedure (RS instruction) or a dedicated protocol is
used, clear the setting to "0" using the peripheral equipment.
2) If RS instruction is used in the program, do not execute it. If it is executed, the PLC operates according to
RS instruction.
3. For FX2N (Ver. 3.00 or later) and FX2NC (Ver. 3.00 or later) PLCs
1) Verify that the communication format is in the initial status (D8120 = K0).
Check the communication parameters using the peripheral equipment.
If the communication is set so that non-protocol procedure (RS instruction) or a dedicated protocol is
used, clear the setting to "0" using the peripheral equipment.
2) If RS instruction is used in the program, do not execute it. If it is executed, the PLC operates according to
RS instruction.
3) If EXTR instruction is used in the program, delete it, turn OFF the PLC power, and then turn it ON again.
4. For FX3U and FX3UC PLCs
1) Verify that the communication format for the communication port used in programming communication is
set correctly (D8120, D8400, D8420 = K0).
Check whether the communication parameters are set correctly using the peripheral equipment.
2) Verify that the RS or RS2 instructions are not executed in the program for the communication port used in
programming communication.
Do not execute RS and RS2 instructions.
3) If an inverter communication instruction is used in the program for the communication port used in
programming communication, delete it, turn OFF the PLC power, and then turn it ON again.
