FX3U a perfect PLC concept 

## **FX3U a perfect PLC concept** 

The FX3U CPU brings a combination of greater flexibility and increased performance to the FX Family. 

## **High performance** 

Thanks to the flexible expansion options of the FX3U series, the PLC can be optimally adapted to the respective requirements. 

Following the standard FX Family configuration, the FX3U CPU can be expanded to the right hand side using a wide range of options. These include input and output blocks as well as special function blocks such as analog, pulse train and network communication units. 

The FX3U series has a fast communications bus that automatically switches into high speed mode and handles the communication with increased speed, when the new FX3U expansion modules are connected. 

Full compatibility is still available with FX2N and FX0N expansion blocks, and when these are configured the FX3U automatically reduces the bus speed to suit. 

This means greater support for existing installed systems as well as delivering high performance and greater response with new installations. 

## **Adapters add flexibility** 

An outstanding performance feature of the FX3U is the adapter expansion bus on the left hand side of the base unit. Through this bus users can add additional analog and temperature units as well as multiple communications and positioning blocks. 

However, the major benefit for the user is that the analog and positioning adapter units no longer require the use of the traditional To/From instruction to configure and operate. 

All control is through direct access data registers and setting bits. This means quicker setup, easier use, and above all much higher processing speeds. 

FX3U has a unique new system of directly programmable adapters. 

The FX3U can use FX3U expansion modules as well as standard FX2N and FX0N expansion modules.

FX3U/FX3UC offers increased resources as well as increased performance. 

## **Increased I/O capacity** 

With enhanced networking functions, the FX3U/FX3UC requires an increased input/ output (I/O) range. FX3U/FX3UC can support systems with combined local I/O and networked I/O up to a total of 384 I/O points. For users, this means increased system control and added possibilities for advanced networks. 

In addition FX3U/FX3UC also fully supports Profibus DP as well as Ethernet using TCP and UDP protocols. 

## **Up to 4.5 times faster** 

The time that is required for the execution of instructions in the FX3U/FX3UC is dramatically reduced. This means a logical instruction is being processed in only 0.065 µsec. 

For users this means quicker program response and more accurate process performance as inputs, outputs and actions are processed and monitored more times per second. 

## **8 times more memory** 

The FX3U/FX3UC comes with a standard internal memory of 64 k steps, which is 8 times more memory than in the previous model. 

More memory means users can write larger and more complex programs, store more data in file registers, or take greater advantage of using IEC 61131-3 style programming tools. 

## **5 times more data storage** 

With a larger program memory comes the need for more operational devices such as timers, state flags, auxiliary relays and data registers. The FX3U/FX3UC has increased capacity in all of these major areas making program construction easier. Data register capacity has increased by a factor of 5 reflecting the needs of users who have an increased requirement to log operation information against products or batches of products being manufactured. 

A typical example of this can be found in the Food and Pharmaceutical industries. Here exact process data such as oven temperatures and cooking times or quantities of ingredients mixed need to be stored against production batches – all this requires increased data handling and data capacity within the PLC. 

## **75 new instructions** 

Compared to the previous model, the FX3U/ FX3UC offers with 75 new instructions an enormously enhanced programming instruction set. A total of 209 instructions are available. All of the instructions follow the traditional FX Applied instruction concept designed to make the task of application building and program writing easier and quicker, with less chance for errors.

FX3S micro control 

## **FX3S micro control** 

## **Fit and forget** 

Typically FX3S applications are small, embedded control functions that are hidden away or unaccessible under normal maintenance activities. This is why the FX3S has been designed to be a robust low maintenance PLC. Features such as the maintenance free, 4000 step EEPROM memory and real time clock management all help to make the FX3S a self managing system, reducing the impact on the maintenance engineer.

Programming 

## **Progressive software concepts** 

The Mitsubishi Electric FX PLC Family has a worldwide reputation for reliability, performance and ease of use. These key values have also been used to form Mitsubishi Electric’s integrated software concept, MELSOFT. 

## **Simple programming** 

The FX Family has a simple programming structure combining Basic and Applied instructions. The Basic instructions are common to all FX Family PLCs. Applied instructions provide the specialist control options such as data comparisons, PID and communications control, all of which are available on FX series. By the graded performance of each PLC series of the FX family, the number of available application instructions increases. 

## **Productivity tools** 

Programming software for PLCs is constantly evolving. Users are placing more focus on reusable program code and function block concepts. This helps to reduce errors, reduce programming time and to help manage the whole programming process – increasing overall productivity. 

## **Simple and intuitive** 

## **Choose what you need**

Networking solutions 

## **Networking and communication solutions** 

## **Remote maintenance** 

With communications technology it is now possible to put PLC control in the most remote locations. Using a PLC with a RS232 interface to a telemetry solution, such as a GSM modem, allows the user the ability to remotely monitor and maintain the system. It can also allow the remote system to send alarm messages, warnings or general status information back to the user’s central data processing centre. 

## **Easy communications** 

FX Family PLCs have a wide range of communications options. 

Applications are often required to integrate between each other across a factory, to report production or tracking data back for office based processing and in some cases be remotely monitored and maintained when the application is in an inaccessible location. The FX Family of PLCs has evolved to match this demand at all levels. 

## **Networks make sense** 

Example of remote pumping station. 

Today’s FX Family of PLCs share a basic communication concept where additional RS232, RS422 or RS485 communications boards can be added to the main base unit without increasing the required cabinet space. These can then be used for communication to various third party devices like bar code readers, printers and modems. 

FX3 Family PLCs have a wider range of communications modules. These include options for connection to open and bespoke networks such as Ethernet, Profibus DP, CC-Link, DeviceNet, CANopen or Modbus for example. 

Networked solutions to complex applications often make the overall solution easier to achieve and more cost effective. For example a conveyor system integrated with a warehouse pick and place system may extend over many hundreds of meters, and by using a fieldbus, such as CC-Link, wiring, troubleshooting and maintenance can be dramatically reduced. 

14 

Analog solutions 

## **Analog solutions** 

Analog control is one of the most important areas for any automation system. Critically for users the concern is to match the performance demanded by the application to the available solutions in a cost effective way. 

Inverter 

Example: D-A control can be used to set the speed of an inverter driving a motor. 

## **Where is analog used?** 

Analog control is widely used. In simple terms it allows a variable signal to be used to control items such as a motor’s speed or to sense inputs such as fluid levels. 

## **Digital to analog (D-A) control** 

Here a digital PLC value is output as an analog signal. It can be used, for example, to send a speed command to an inverter which in turn causes the motor to increase or decrease speed. 

## **Analog to digital (A-D) control** 

In this type of control a variable signal is sent to a PLC where it is converted in to a direct digital value. An example of this could be the measurement of the level of a liquid in a storage tank so that the exact amount of stored liquid can be controlled by the PLC. 

Example: Temperature control keeps the liquid at the correct viscosity. 

Example: 

A-D control can be used to control the filling speed of the container. 

## **Temperature control** 

Temperature control is the third type of analog control. An example of use could be where the temperature of a furnace is measured and compared by the PLC against a set range. Additional heating or cooling can then be applied to maintain a constant temperature. 

Analog solutions are an important part of control engineering and can be used to simplify and accurately control actions happening in the production environment. 

## **24 solutions to choose from** 

The FX Family offers a wide range of analog solutions from 1 and 2 channel BD boards for FX3G up to 8 channel input blocks like the FX2N-8AD where temperature, voltage and current input can be mixed on the same block. FX analog blocks also come in a range of resolutions from 8 bit up to 16 bit signal processing. Overall there are 24 different analog options available to users of the FX PLC Family. 

With this range of choice and flexibility it is sure that there will be a solution here for most applications. 

Example of temperature control.

Networking solutions 

## **Positioning solutions** 

**==> picture [101 x 10] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
X-Y table for simple shaping<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


| **Pulse train outputs** 

A stream of output pulses can be used as a drive signal to a line driver, stepper motor or servo amplifier, which then causes the connected motor to perform the positioning activity. 

The larger the range of output pulse frequencies available means greater speed and/or accuracy is achievable. For example, if a stepper motor with a larger number of steps is used, the travel distance per step can be reduced, resulting in an increased system accuracy. 

## **High speed counter input** 

When a motor is being driven, its relative position can be controlled by counting the number of output pulses.

However, for a more accurate process, reading the actual position from an encoder feedback directly into a high speed counter is preferred. This helps to overcome issues of backlash and slippage as the actual position is measured and not assumed. 

## **Positioning built in as standard** 

Simple positioning solutions can be effectively managed within a standard FX PLC. 

Using simple positioning solutions can help increase the accuracy of the work process, reduce waste and rework as well as provide a higher quality of production. 

## **Typical applications** 

Simple positioning applications typically involve independently controlled operational axis and can sometimes have many requirements. In the example of an X-Y table, a relative position is achieved by driving each axis until its target position is achieved, regardless of what happens with the other axis. There are two main elements to achieve this type of positioning control. 

Example of conveyor belt control. 

FX PLCs come with high speed counters (in some cases up to 100 kHz) and pulse train outputs (also in some cases up to 100 kHz) as standard. The high speed counters can be configured in single pulse train inputs, The high speed counters can be configured in a single or two phase input. Pulse train outputs can be configured to provide continuous pulse streams at different frequencies or a set quantity of pulses at a single frequency. 

There are also optional modules and adapters that can provide additional high speed counters with performance up to 200 kHz. The same is true for pulse train outputs with 200 kHz and 1 Mpps (1 MHz) output options available.

GOTs / Displays 

## **Display solutions** 

An increasingly important area of any automation solution is the reporting and display of operational information. This data enables operators, maintenance teams and business managers to make informed decisions in the best interests of the business. 

Access to this data could be through the machine operator’s terminal, across a network or through a dedicated display mounted inside or on the control cabinet itself. 

## **The business manager** 

## **The right tool for the right job** 

For maximum efficiency, each user requires access to information at their work place in a form that highlights the important data for them first. This means a range of different tools are required. As an example, here are three possible scenarios. = 

## **The machine operator** 

Machines often have a lot of manufacturing debris around or are subject to hygienic cleaning as in the food industry. Any display located in this environment would need to have a high Ingress Protection (IP) rating, indicating a high degree of waterproofness. 

It may also be a benefit to the operator to have a large and clear display to reduce the chances for error from misreading, due to poor light or small fonts being used. It is also recognized that the use of graphics also reduces the chances for reading errors with complex data. 

In a production controllers office it would be better to display information through a network to their existing desktop PC. In this application a piece of software such as an OPC server/client, a Java applet, an Active X control or a SCADA system would allow lots of data from lots of sources to be displayed in a clear and concise way giving the production controller the overview of the business operation that they need. 

## **Data the way you want it** 

Mitsubishi Electric offers a wide range of visualization solutions from simple data displays such as the FX3U-7DM, advanced Graphic Operator Terminals like the GOT series, and a wide choice of software solutions from the MELSOFT software suite. 

This powerful combination of hardware and software means there is a cost effective solution for most applications. 

In the food industry hygiene is very important. 

The FX3U-7DM can be directly mounted within the PLC (FX3U) or mounted on the front cabinet. 

## **The maintenance team** 

The critical information for a maintenance engineer is the error and diagnostic data within the PLC as this is used to diagnose any process problems. However, additional information regarding the operational “hours run” or cycles processed, which could be called soft information as it is calculated on operational parameters, could allow the maintenance engineer to predict possible failure and arrange preventative maintenance. 

The GOT is a typical HMI

System Description 

## **ALPHA and MELSEC PLC systems** 

## **The ALPHA series** 

The ALPHA closes the gap between single components and a PLC system. It combines all advantages of a PLC system in a very compact housing and therefore provides a space and cost saving alternative to relays and contactors. 

The ALPHA series is suited to applications in industrial machines and in automated building services. 

Key enhancements in the ALPHA2 include a program capacity of 200 function blocks, an extra-large display, expansion options and a second communications port. The instruction set, includes math operations, PWM and SMS text messaging functions. All this opens up possibilities for analog and temperature control as well as remote operation. 

## **The MELSEC FX family** 

The MELSEC FX family includes a very comprehensive range of base and expansion modules, enabling you to configure a customised system tailored to your precise requirements. 

Depending on your application and control needs you can choose between the small, attractively-priced, "stand-alone" MELSEC FX3S series, and the efficient FX3G, FX3GC, FX3GE, FX3U and FX3UC series. 

With the exception of the FX3S all FX series can be expanded to adapt them to the changing needs of your installations and applications. 

Network integration is also supported, making it possible for your FX controllers to communicate with other PLCs, controllers and HMIs. 

The PLC systems can be configured as local stations in Mitsubishi Electric networks. In addition these flexible units can also be used as master or slave units on fieldbus’s like Profibus DP and CC-Link. 

The MELSEC FX Family controllers also support CANopen, DeviceNet, Ethernet or J1939 (NMEA 2000).

## **Expandability and power** 

The MELSEC FX family is highly flexible, enabling fast and efficient configuration and programming for the application at hand. 

It is the ideal choice, no matter whether you need to install a simple control application requiring 10 I/Os (FX3S) or a demanding, complex system with up to 384 I/O points (FX3U). The use of memory cassettes can expand the available programming space on some FX Family PLCs while generally providing a long term program storage option for all FX PLC users. In addition, memory cassettes can also allow programs to be switched at very short notice simply by replacing the cassette. 

There are six series in the MELSEC FX family, each of which is designed for a different application profile: 

## z **The FX3S series** 

The MELSEC FX3S-series is the inexpensive entry to the MELSEC FX family and with its small dimensions it is also an excellent alternative to relay and contactor configurations. 

## z **The FX3G series** 

The FX3G is an introductory compact PLC and is designed for simple yet performance-critical applications. Incorporating innovative FX3 series technology the customer is presented with a suite of benefits. 

## z **The FX3GE series** 

The FX3GE series provides the advantages and expandability of the FX3G series and in addition a built-in Ethernet interface as well as two integrated analog inputs and one analog output. 

## z **The FX3GC series** 

The performance of the FX3GC is the same as that of the FX3G series. Due to its plug-in connectors for I/O signals it has even more compact dimensions. 

## z **The FX3U/FX3UC series** 

The FX3U series gives you the freedom of modular expandability, with a wide selection of expansion modules and special function modules. 

The FX3U is the fastest PLC system available, with a cycle time of just 0.065 µs per logical instruction. This gives users a powerful CPU delivering modular PLC performance in a compact PLC design. 

The performance of the FX3UC is the same as that of the FX3U series, but it has more compact dimensions. It is the ideal choice for applications where little space is available for the controller.

## **Digital and special function modules – configuration** 

The options for using digital and special function modules are dictated by the CPU used in the system. 

When calculating the number of special function modules you can use in a system you must take both the number of digital modules and the maximum number of special function modules that can be used into account. 

The table on the right provides a simplified guide to the number of modules you can use in each system type. More detailed information and the basic principles of system configuration can be found in the corresponding manuals.

System Description 

## **What components are required for an FX PLC system?** 

A basic FX PLC system can consist of a standalone base unit, with the functionality and I/O range increased by adding extension I/O and special function modules. The following section provides an overview of options available. 

## **Base units** 

The entire FX PLC range can be AC or DC powered with a mix of input and output styles. The PLCs can be programmed with the user friendly GX Works2 programming software, allowing programs to be transferred between different FX PLCs. All PLC base units include an integrated real time clock. 

Base units are available with different I/O configurations from 10 to 128 points but can be expanded to 384 points depending upon the FX range selected. 

## **Extension boards** 

Except for the FX3GC and FX3UC series, extension adapter boards can be installed directly into the base unit and therefore do not require any additional installation space. For a small number of I/O (2 to 4) an extension adapter boards can be installed directly into the FX3S, FX3G, FX3GE or FX3U controller. Interface adapter boards can also provide the FX PLC with additional RS232, RS422, RS485 or USB interfaces. To connect adapter modules (e.g. Ethernet module) a communication adapter has to be installed (except FX3UC). 

## **Extension I/O modules** 

Unpowered and powered extension I/O modules can be added to the FX3G, FX3GC, FX3GE, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs. 

## **Special function modules** 

A wide variety of special function modules are available for the FX3G, FX3GC, FX3GE, FX3U and FX3UC PLCs. They cover networking functionality, analog control, pulse train outputs, data logging function and temperature inputs. 

## **Memory extension and operator terminals** 

Each FX family base unit (except FX3GC) can be equipped with a memory cassette. The programming unit interface enables the connection of programming tools like PC and hand held programming units as well as graphical operator terminals. 

For expansion modules powered by the base unit, the power consumption has to be calculated as the 5 V DC bus can only support a limited number of expansion I/O (for further details please refer to next page – calculation of the power consumption).

## **AS-Interface module AL2-ASI-BD** 

The Actuator Sensor Interface module AL2-ASI-BD in combination with an ALPHA 2 controller facilitates the data communications via an AS-Interface system. The AL2-ASI-BD is attached to an ALPHA 2 series module and forms a slave unit. Up to 4 inputs and 4 outputs can be exchanged with the AS-Interface master. 

The addresses of the slave devices in the ASInterface are assigned either automatically via the master in the network or via a programming device (software). 

The maximum communication distance is 100 m without a repeater. If 2 repeaters are used, the distance is extended to up to 300 m. 

For the AS-Interface a separate power supply is required. The communication signal is superimposed on the power supply of the AS-Interface bus. 

Note: The AL2-ASI-BD cannot be used with the AL2-10MR series.

## **The MELSEC FX3G series** 

## **Integrated high-speed counter inputs** 

for processing fast input signals. For example, you can configure two 60 kHz counters and four 10 kHz counters. **Interrupt processing** is also handled via the inputs. 

Add-in function boards can be installed in the PLC to provide a **second RS485/RS422/ RS232 communications interface** for programming or network configurations. Analog function boards for input and output and a function board with 8 analog potentiometers are also available as add-in. 

RAM/EEPROM memory for up to **32,000 PLC program steps** gives you plenty of reserve, even for big, complex applications.

The TB-8EY-S and TB-8EY-C output blocks consist of 8 standard terminals and a system adapter. The standard terminals can be populated with relay or transistor elements, which makes it possible to configure the system for much higher output currents. 

These terminal blocks are adapter modules that simplify the wiring of the inputs and outputs of the FX3UC main units with ribbon cable connectors. This practical, time-saving wiring system also improves the performance of the outputs. Special terminal blocks are also available for the FX3U/FX3UC positioning modules with ribbon cable connectors. 

Preconfigured system cabling is available for all the terminal blocks (see next page). 

Input blocks, output blocks and combined I/O blocks are available, with a choice of different terminal types. 

The TB-mEXm input blocks are fitted with rows of bridged connectors for 24 V/0 V terminals, which make wiring quick and easy.
