Product Description
Rich features and flexible system configuration in a compact size.
The MELSEC-F series PLC incorporates power supply, CPU, and I/Os into a single compact unit.
Meets the needs of a variety of user applications with options for I/O, analog, positioning, and open network expansion.
High functionality model (FX3U/FX3UC)
Faster, friendlier. Realize high expandability and high functionality.
Fom high speed control to network support and even logging is possible.
FX3 series flagship model FX3U and connector type FX3UC: 2 models are available.
Standard model (FX3G/FX3GC)
More advanced control for auotmation and networking.
Equipped with functions required for standard controls, and fit for various purposes.
Compact sized with the same performance, FX3GC is also available.
Basic model (FX3S)
Easy introduction to machine automation.
Simple functions and economical price in one package.
A basic micro PLC with expandability for analog and communication functions.
FX series I/O extension devices are divided into "extension blocks" and "powered extension units".
"Powered extension units" have built-in power supply and also extend I/O at the same time.
"Extension blocks" adjust the I/O of the main unit or powered extension units in 8 point or 16 point units.
Extension units
Powered extension units are I/O extension devices with built-in power supply.
Like with the main unit, various I/O devices and special devices can be connected after a powered extension unit.

CC-Link
CC-Link is an open network enabling connection of various FA equipment.
We prepare a master unit setting FX PLC as master blocks of CC-Link, as well as an interface setting them as remote device stations of CC-Link.
Details
CC-Link/LT
CC-Link/LT is an open network in the open network CC-Link family designed to reduce wiring in the cabinet and the machine.
Also, FX3UC-32MT-LT(-2) has CC-Link/LT master functionality built-in, so reduced wiring network can be easily achieved.
Details
N:N network
This network connects multiple FX PLCs (maximum 8 units) and performs automatic data exchange between each PLC. Linked devices are exchanged between each PLC, and all connected PLCs can share (monitor) linked devices.
Details
Parallel Link
Bit devices (M) and word devices (D) automatically refresh.
Details
Computer Link
A computer as master can connect to FX series as slave.
Supports "computer link protocol formats 1 and 4" on the computer side.
Details
Non-Protocol Communication
Non-proocol serial communication is possible to devices with RS-232C or RS-485 (422) communication interface (PC, barcode reader, etc).
Details
Peripheral device communication
PC, GOT, and HPP can connect to RS-232C/RS-422/USB (USB can be used by PC only) and perform PLC program transfer and monitoring.
Details
inverter communication
Mitsubishi inverter prococol and dedicated instructions for communication control are built into FX3 series PLC. Mitsubishi inverters can be easily controlled just by adding an RS-485 communication device.
