Caution for EC Directive

Installation in Enclosure
Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and
used within conductive control cabinets. Please use the programmable logic
controller while installed within a conductive shielded control cabinet. Please secure
the cabinet door to the control cabinet (for conduction). Installation within a control
cabinet greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the
programmable logic controller.

1. Outline
1.1 Outline

The hardware high-speed counter block is a 2-channel high-speed counter. It is a
special function block for the FX

3U

 and FX

3UC

 series PLC.

1.2 Major Features of the FX

3U

-2HC

Differential-Line-Driver (AM26C31 or equivalent) and open collector output
encoders are available for the FX

3U

-2HC.

The FX

3U

-2HC has two outputs per channel. When the counter value coincides with

an output compare value, the appropriate output is set ON. The output transistors
are individually isolated to allow either sink or source connection methods.

Various counter modes, such as 1-phase or 2-phase, 16-bit or 32-bit modes, can be
selected using commands in the sequence program. Allow the FX

3U

-2HC unit to

run only after setting these mode parameters.

3. Wiring (Power supply and analog input) 

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 or damage to the product.

INSTALLATION 
PRECAUTIONS

Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in PLC
main unit 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.
If the product is used in such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions,
deterioration or damage may occur.

Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly. 
Doing so may cause device failures or malfunctions.

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

When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does
not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Be sure to remove the dust proof sheet from the PLC's ventilation port when
installation work is completed. 
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Connect extension cables securely to their designated connectors.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.

WIRING 
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 or damage to the product.

1)

2)

A

3.1 Connection to input/output connector

The input and output connectors conform to the MIL-C-83503.

→ 

For the input and output connectors pin assignment, refer to section 1.4.

1) Compliant connectors (commercially available connectors)

Use a 40-pin (1-key) socket connector conforming to MIL-C-83503.
Confirm in advance that the connectors do not interfere with other parts
including connector covers.

2) Connectors for user-made input/output cables (available from Mitsubishi)

Users should provide electric wires and a pressure bonding tool.

3.2 Wiring

Note:

Make sure to properly wire in accordance with the encoder output specifications. 
Incorrect wiring may cause accidents or damage to the product.

NPN output encoders

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does
not enter the ventilation slits. 
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the
PLC under the influence of noise:

1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main

circuit, high-voltage line or load line. Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or
surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line at
least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines.

2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at two points; on the

PLC and the device on other end. However, do not use common grounding
with heavy electrical systems.

3.3 Grounding

Grounding should be performed as stated below.

The grounding resistance should be 100

 or less.

Independent grounding should be performed for best results.
When independent grounding is not performed, perform "shared grounding"
of the following figure.

→ 

For details, refer to the FX

3U

 Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.

→ 

For details, refer to the FX

3UC

 Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.

The grounding wire size should be AWG 22-20 (0.3-0.5 mm

2

).

The grounding point should be close to the PLC, and all grounding wires
should be as short as possible.

4. Specifications 

4.1 General Specifications

The general specifications are equivalent to the PLC main unit. 
(For general specifications, refer to the manual of the PLC main unit.)

Caution

When a dielectric withstand test of this product is performed, ground all terminals of 
this product and the PLC unit.

4.2

Power Supply Specifications

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe
system operation even during external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.

1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection

circuit, an interlock circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs.
reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the
equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).

2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer

error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that
cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block,
output control may be disabled. 
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe
machinery operation in such a case.

3) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor output device, the

output could be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and
mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such
a case.

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the main circuit or
power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more
away from the main circuit or power line.
Noise may cause malfunctions.

Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to I/O connectors.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.

Range

When 32-bit is specified:  

-2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647

When 16-bit is specified: 0 to 65,535 

(upper limit is set up by BFM #3, #2, #43, #42.)

Compari-
son Type

When the present value and the comparison set
value of the counter are equal, the comparison
output is set (ON) within 30 

μ

s and is cleared (OFF)

within 100 

μ

s by the reset command.
