3-3-2 When Using Mitsubishi FX-485ADP/485BD/232BD (Multi-station) Communication Protocols
(2) FX3U/3UC Series PLC
Check the [Operate communication setting] option.
Note 1 The [CH1] should be selected for FX3U/3UC Series PLC.
2 Set the parameters as follows.
[Dedicated Protocol] is selected for Protocol, [Sum Check] is checked, and [Form4] is
selected for the Transmission Control Sequence.
3 Set the [H/W Type] as follows.
“Regular/RS-232C” is selected when FX-232-BD communications is used or “RS-485” is
selected when FX-485-BD/FX-485-ADP communications is used.
Aside from using [FX Parameter], the user can use the special data register D8120 in PLC
to set the communication parameters for PLC.
• For example:
If the PLC communication parameters are: 9600bps (Baud Rate), 7 (Data Bit), even (Parity
Check), 2 (Stop Bit), 1(PLC Station No.), RS485 (Communication Method) and 1 (PLC Communi-
cation Time Out), then D8120=0xE08E,
D8121=1,
and D8129=1.
Note The settings will be valid when the PLC is restarted after the D8120 setting is modified.
