PRO mode (PRO)

 

When the mode indicator PRO (yellow) is ON, you can scroll through 
the PRO menu (Pro1 to Pro7) and make advanced settings. 

 

For the setting procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION 
MANUAL” (only available in English).

 

● Note that FX-502□ has two additional setting items in Pro3 and Pro4.

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 

amplifier)

 

Copy settings

notes on mounting

Communication 
is performed via 
the communica‑
tion window of the 

amplifier (marked 

with an arrow). 

Communication direction

1

2

For optical com‑
munication to 
work, you need to 
cascade the sub 

amplifiers (

2

) to 

the right of the 

main amplifier 

(

1

).

 

● Make sure to mount the amplifiers 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. fiber 

sensor amplifiers, 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 

figure 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 amplifier 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 amplifier 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 amplifier is set to 

 

(only for databank loading / saving).

 

● When the communication protocol of a sub amplifier is set to halt com

munication (setting 

), it is not possible to communicate with 

any of the sub amplifiers mounted to the right of said sub amplifier.

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 amplifiers when 

you have selected the default setting 

 (optical communication). The 

number of amplifiers depends on the response time you have selected, see 

table below.

H-sP 

≤25μs

≤60μs
