is compliant with 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T and has the features as follows.

1) Data and programs within the PLC can be sent and received via Ethernet by using

GX Developer Ver.8.25B or later.

2) Communication between PLCs or with a general Ethernet device is possible by

fixed buffer communication. (TCP/IP or UDP/IP)

3) Users can develop custom software to communicate with the PLC by using MC

(MELSEC Communication) protocol (A-compatible 1E frame subset, for details,
refer to user's manual). (TCP/IP or UDP/IP)

4) E-mail can be sent and received. (SMTP or POP3 protocol)
5) The FX

3U

-ENET parameters can be set easily using FX Configurator-EN.

6) The diagnostic functions of FX Configurator-EN enables easy diagnostics and

troubleshooting of the FX

3U

-ENET.

1.1 Incorporated Items

DESIGN
PRECAUTION

Configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program so that the system
operates safely and uses the communication information in case of a
communication error.

Do not bundle the communication cable or the 24V power supply together with the
main circuit or power line. Lay them at least 100mm (3.94") apart from each other. 
Failure to do so may result in noise and malfunctions.

Ensure that the unit and cable are not subjected to excessive force. Failure to do
so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.

2. Installation  

2.1 Mounting

The FX

3U

-ENET can be mounted directly using screws or on a DIN rail (DIN46227).

2.1.1

Direct Mounting

The FX

3U

-ENET can be mounted with M4 screws by using the direct mounting

holes. 
A space of 1 to 2 mm (0.04” to 0.08”) between each unit is necessary.

→ 

For the mounting hole pitch information, refer to Section 1.2

2.1.2

DIN Rail Mounting

The FX

3U

-ENET can be mounted on a DIN rail (DIN46227, 35mm width).

1) Fit the upper edge of the DIN rail mounting

groove (fig. A) onto the DIN rail.

2) Push the unit onto the DIN rail.

2.1.3

Procedure for connecting with the FX

3U

 Series PLC

When connecting to an FX

3U

:

Before connections, turn off the power to the PLC.

1) Remove the extension device connector cover

of the main unit.

2) Fold and insert the extension cable in the

corresponding connector as shown to the right.

3) Reattach the extension device connector cover

on the main unit.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting
installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.

Before attaching or replacing the main unit or extension unit, externally cut off
all phases of the power supply. If not, it may cause malfunctions or
misoperations.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

Use this product in the environment within the general specifications described
in this manual.
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke, conductive
dusts, corrosive gas (salt air, Cl

2

, H

2

S, SO

2

, or NO

2

), flammable gas, vibration

or impacts, or expose it to high temperature, condensation, or rain and wind.
Doing so may cause electrical shock, fire, malfunctions, or damage or critical
deterioration to the product.

When tightening the terminal screws, stay within the specified torque range.
When tightened insufficiently, short-circuit or failure may occur. When tightened
too much, the screws or the unit may be damaged, causing the unit disposal,
short-circuit, or failure.

Do not touch the conductive part or electric parts of this unit directly.
Doing so may cause failure or malfunctions.

Install the unit on a flat surface.
If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the PC board,
thereby causing nonconformities.
