Optical communication
It is possible to use optical communication for the following functions.
● Data bank loading / saving (use FX-502□ or FX-505□-C2 as the main
amplier)
● Copy settings
Notes on mounting
Communication
is performed via
the communica‑
tion window of the
amplier (marked
with an arrow).

For optical com‑
munication to
work, you need to
cascade the sub
ampliers (2) to
the right of the
main amplier
(1).
● Make sure to mount the ampliers closely when the interference pre‑
vention function is controlled by optical communication. For the setting
procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL” (only
available in English).
● When you cascade this product together with other products (e.g. ber
sensor ampliers, pressure sensor controllers, etc.), install the prod‑
ucts so that they are in order of group A, B, D and C as shown in the
gure below. This product is included in group D. Within each group,
identical models should be mounted next to each other.

● If products are mounted between different groups, cover the com‑
munication window of each product with the amplier protection seal
FX-MB1 (optional).
● If you use copy setting for a cascade of different products from the FX‑
500 series, each product will only accept the settings that it supports
and ignore settings for unsupported functions.
Notes on optical communication
● Optical communication is not possible if an amplier is in one of the
following states:
‑ The copy lock has been activated (setting
).
‑ The digital display is blinking.
‑ The external input setting of the main amplier is set to
(only for databank loading / saving).
● When the communication protocol of a sub amplier is set to halt com‑
munication (setting
), it is not possible to communicate with
any of the sub ampliers mounted to the right of said sub amplier.

Interference prevention function
There are 2 options available for interference prevention:
● Interference prevention by optical communication (
, default).
● Interference prevention by different emitting frequency.
For the setting procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL”
(only available in English).
Interference can be prevented only for a limited number of ampliers when
you have selected the default setting
(optical communication). The
number of ampliers depends on the response time you have selected, see
table below.
