2. After replacing FX2N PLC with FX3U, the original function expansion board (BD board for communication and special adapters such as FX2N-485BD, FX2NC-232ADP) needs to be replaced with the function expansion board corresponding to FX3U series;
3. Expansion equipment (input and output modules, special function modules such as FX2N-16EX, FX2N-2AD) can be used without replacement.
4. Does the FX0N-65EC extension cable have to be equipped with an FX2N-CNV-BC adapter for connection?
   FX0N-65EC does not need to add FX2N-CNV-BC when connecting FX2N-32ER/ET or FX2N-48ER/ET

Six, FX2N series PLC model suffix ES / UL and -001 What is the difference?

1. The suffix is ​​ES/UL for the European version and -001 for the Chinese version.
   2.-ES/UL series input mode can select the source type and the sink type input mode through the S/S terminal. The -001 series input method is fixed as a sink type input.
2. Does FX0N-65EC have to add an FX2N-CNV-BC adapter to connect?
   When FX0N-65EC is connected to FX2N-32ER/T.FX2N-48ER/T, FX2N-CNV-BC is not required; other modules need to be added.

Eight, FX1S, FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, FX3GA, FX3U (C) body with high-speed pulse output point can control how many axes?

1.FX1S, FX1N can control independent 2 axes, maximum output 100KHZ pulse train

1. FX1NC can control independent 2 axes, maximum output 10KHZ pulse train
2. FX2N can control independent 2 axes, maximum output 20KHZ pulse train
   4.FX3G, FX3GA 14/24 points can control independent 2 axes, 40/60 points maximum output 100KHZ pulse train
   5.FX3U, FX3UC can control independent 3 axes, maximum output 100KHZ pulse train
3. Can the FX1N PLC expand the input/output module, analog module, positioning module, etc. connected to the FX2N?
   The FX1N PLC can fully expand the expansion module connected to the FX2N. Such as FX2N-16EX, FX2N-16EYR, FX2N-4AD, FX2N-10GM, FX2N-20GM, etc.
4. What should I do if the FX series PLC is running or the power LED is off or blinking?
   First, remove the wiring of the [24+] (working power) terminal on the PLC to confirm whether it is back to normal.
   1: If it returns to normal, it may be caused by the short circuit of the load or the excessive load current, which causes the working power capacity to be overloaded and thus activates the protection function.
   2: If you can’t get back to normal, please contact a professional technician for repair.
5. What is the difference between FX3U-ENET-ADP and FX3U-ENET-L? Can they be replaced?
   FX3U-ENET-L is an Ethernet module, FX3U-ENET-ADP is an Ethernet port adapter; -L is powerful and can replace ADP; if it can be replaced, it can be judged by referring to whether the function used can be satisfied. .
   1: Both ENET-ADP and ENET-L have MELSOFT connection function, which is connected to the man-machine interface through Ethernet port, such as Mitsubishi and Weilun touch screen.
   2: Both ENET-ADP and ENET-L have the MC protocol (that is, Mitsubishi PLC-specific protocol). This function is used by the upper industrial computer to read, write, and control the PLC using the MC protocol.
   3: ENET-L module has a large number of buffers, with buffer sending and receiving function (1024 words/time), which can be used as communication between the main station and third-party equipment such as instrumentation. ENET-ADP is only a communication expansion port.
