[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe system operation
even during external power supply problems or PLC failure. Otherwise, malfunctions may cause
serious accidents.
- Most importantly, set up the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock
circuit for opposite movements (such as forward vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit to
prevent damage to the equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits.
- Note that when the CPU module 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 CPU
module occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be disabled. External circuits
and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machine operation in such a case.
- Note that the output current of the 24 V DC service power supply varies depending on the model
and the absence/presence of extension modules. If an overload occurs, the voltage automatically
drops, inputs in the PLC are disabled, and all outputs are turned off. External circuits and
mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machine operation in such a case.
- Note that when an error occurs in a relay or transistor of an output circuit, the output might stay on
or off. For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms
should be designed to ensure safe machine operation.
Construct an interlock circuit in the program so that the whole system always operates on the safe
side before executing the control (for data change) of the PLC in operation.
Read the manual thoroughly and ensure complete safety before executing other controls (for program
change, parameter change, forced output and operation status change) of the PLC in operation.
Otherwise, the machine may be damaged and accidents may occur due to erroneous operations.
In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the current rating or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure of the network, refer to relevant
manuals for the network. Incorrect output or malfunction may result in an accident.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
When an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on. Take
proper measures so that the flowing current does not exceed the value corresponding to the
maximum load specification of the resistance load.
After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size.
Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of this variation in time.
Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the CPU module and extension modules.
If a long-time power failure or an abnormal voltage drop occurs, the PLC stops, and output is turned
off. When the power supply is restored, it will automatically restart (when the RUN/STOP/RESET
switch is on RUN side).

4.3 Limitation on the Number of Input/Output Points 45
Calculation of number of input/output points
The number of input/output points is the total of the number of input/output points of the CPU module and I/O module, and the
number of occupied input/output points of intelligent function modules.
The total number of input/output points must not exceed 256 points.
Total number of input/output points of the CPU module and I/O modules
Count the total number of input/output points of the CPU module and I/O modules.
To obtain the total number of input/output points, count the input points (X000 and more) and output points (Y000 and more) of
the CPU module and I/O modules.
For details on the number of input/output points by model, refer to the following.

Precautions
Precautions when using CC-Link master (FX3U-16CCL-M) and AnyWireASLINK master (FX3U-128ASL-M) together
When using FX3U-16CCL-M and FX3U-128ASL-M together, connect FX3U-128ASL-M on the left side. In the FX5U CPU
module, FX3U-16CCL-M parameters are set up by PLC program and will occupy up to 256 remote I/O points. Therefore, the
remote I/O points of FX3U-128ASL-M that is connected to the right side may be less than 128 points when FX3U-16CCL-M is
connected to the left side.
Ex.
When input/output points are 160 points and CC-Link master are 256 points: 512 points - 160 points - 256 points = 96 points
Remote I/O points of AnyWireASLINK master are 96 points or less.
4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
46 4.3 Limitation on the Number of Input/Output Points
CC-Link remote I/O
Remote I/O points that are used in FX3U-16CCL-M are calculated as "number of stations X 32 points."

6.6 Output Wiring
The output wiring of the CPU module and I/O modules is explained below.
Relay output
For output specifications of the CPU module, refer to Page 21 Output Specifications.
For output specifications of the I/O modules, refer to Page 136 Output specifications.
Inductive load
Inductive loads generate large reverse electromotive force between contacts at shutdown, which may cause arc discharge. At
a fixed current consumption, as the power factor (phase between current and voltage) gets smaller, the arc energy gets larger.
The standard life of contacts used for inductive AC loads, such as general contactors and solenoid valves, is 500,000
operations at 20 VA. 6
The following table shows the approximate life of a relay based on the results of an operation life test.
Test condition: 1 sec. ON/1 sec. OFF
Load capacity Contact life
20 VA 0.2 A/100 V AC 3,000,000 times
0.1 A/200 V AC
35 VA 0.35 A/100 V AC 1,000,000 times
0.17 A/200 V AC
80 VA 0.8 A/100 V AC 200,000 times
0.4 A/200 V AC
The product life of relay contacts becomes considerably shorter than the above conditions when the rush overcurrent is shut
down.
Please refer to the following measures regarding the inductive load.
Page 91 Contact protection circuit for inductive loads
Some types of inductive loads generate rush current 5 to 15 times the stationary current at activation. Make sure that the rush
current does not exceed the current corresponding to the maximum specified resistance load.
Lamp load
Lamp loads generally generate rush current 10 to 15 times the stationary current. Make sure that the rush current does not
exceed the current corresponding to the maximum specified resistance load.
Capacitive load
Capacitive loads can generate rush current 20 to 40 times the stationary current. Make sure that the rush current does not
exceed the current corresponding to the maximum specified resistance load.
Capacitive loads such as capacitors may be present in electronic circuit loads including inverters.
Resistance load
For maximum load specifications of resistance load, refer to the following.
For output specifications of the CPU module, refer to Page 21 Output Specifications.
For output specifications of the I/O modules, refer to Page 136 Output specifications.

Installation in enclosure
FX5U CPU modules are open-type devices that must be installed and used within shielded conductive control boxes.
Please use the PLCs while installed in conductive shielded control boxes. Please secure the control box lid to the control box
(for conduction). Installation within a control box greatly improves the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the
PLC.
APPENDIX
Appendix 2 Standards 129
Caution for when analog products are used
It is recommended to perform the following when precision of measuring and control is required.
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral
with sensors or actuators), these users should follow those manufacturers' installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If no other EMC protection is provided, users may experience
temporary loss of accuracy between +10%/-10% in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that if adequate EMC precautions are followed with general good EMC practice for the
user's complete control system, users should expect normal errors as specified in this manual.
Sensitive analog cables should not be laid in the same trunking or cable conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible,
users should run analog cables separately.
Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth - ensure that no earth loops are accidentally
created.
When reading analog values, EMC induced errors can be smoothed out by averaging the readings. This can be achieved
either through functions on the analog devices or through a user's program in the FX5U CPU module.
Perform the following when using the analog expansion adapter:
Installation in Enclosure
Programmable controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and used within conductive control cabinets.
Please use the programmable controller while installed within a conductive shielded control cabinet. Installation within a
control cabinet greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the programmable controller.
Control cabinet
- The control cabinet must be conductive.
- Ground the control cabinet with the thickest possible grounding cable.
- To ensure that there is electric contact between the control cabinet and its door, connect the cabinet and its doors with
thick wires.
- In order to suppress the leakage of radio waves, the control cabinet structure must have minimal openings. Also, wrap
the cable holes with a shielding cover or other shielding devices.
- The gap between the control cabinet and its door must be as small as possible by attaching EMI gaskets between them.
Shielding cover
Shielded cable
EMI gasket
Wires*1
*1 These wires are used to improve the conductivity between the door and control cabinet.
Cables
- Make sure to use shielded cables as cables pulled out of the control cabinet.
- Connect the shield such as shielded cables and shielding covers to the grounded control cabinet.
It is possible that the accuracy temporarily fluctuates within 10 %.
Perform the following when using the FX5-4AD-ADP:
Set the number of times of winding to 2 turns within approximately 200 mm (7.87") from terminal block of the analog cable
on the FX5-4AD-ADP side, and attach a ferrite core. (Ferrite core used in our test: E04SR401938 manufactured by SEIWA
ELECTRIC MFG. CO., LTD.)
Perform the following when using the FX5-4DA-ADP:
Set the number of times of winding to 2 turns within approximately 200 mm (7.87") from the connectors of the power cable
on the FX5-4DA-ADP side, and attach a ferrite core. (Ferrite core used in our test: E04SR401938 manufactured by SEIWA
ELECTRIC MFG. CO., LTD.)
The FX5-4DA-ADP requires that the cable used for power supply is 30 m (9'85") or less.

Insertion and removal of the SD memory card
The following explains insertion and removal of the SD memory card.
Insertion procedure
Mount the SD memory card. Pay attention to the direction of the card and follow the procedure below.
1. Insert the SD memory card (1) straight into the SD memory card slot.
Make sure that the notch of the card is directed downward. After
(1) mounting, check that the card is mounted completely. If the card is
mounted incompletely, malfunctions may occur because of poor contact.
2. The CARD LED (2) blinks until the SD memory card becomes available.
(2)
4. If the CARD LED dose not turn on even though the SD memory card is
mounted, make sure that SM606 (forcibly stop using SD memory card
instruction) and SM607 (forcibly stop using SD memory card flag) are
OFF by using engineering tools.
Removal procedure
1. Press the SD memory card stop switch (1) for one second or more to
stop access to the card. The CARD READY LED (2) blinks during the
(3) access stop operation, and then the LED is turned OFF when the
operation is completed.
2. Insert the SD memory card (3) once, and then pull it straight.
