[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 normal 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 machinery 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 machinery operation in such a case.
- Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac 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 machinery operation in such a case.
● 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, forcible 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.
● To maintain the safety of the programmable controller system against unauthorized access from
external devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against
unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.

[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 dose 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 the RUN side).

2.1 Outline
FX5U, which is the successor model of the FX3U, is equipped with analog functions, communication and high-speed input/
output etc., and can easily be expanded with expansion boards and expansion adapters. The high-speed system bus
communication brings out the maximum performance of extension modules equipped with intelligent functions.
The procedures and points for replacing to the successor model FX5U are shown below. Please consider replacement with
the information.
Points to Consider
• The “recommended substitute models” are described for individual FX3U and extension modules that can be replaced by
iQ-F Series models. According to usage and system configuration (connection status of the extension modules), and cases
when the I/O numbers actually used are small, other models than the described “recommended substitute models” may be
suitable for replacement.
• The recommended substitute models for extension modules, function expansion boards and built-in batteries are described
with those that can be connected to the FX5U CPU module.
• Contents that require special caution when replacing each model are described in “Special notes”. Most recommended
substitute models have various differences in specifications other than those in “Special notes” such as the dimension
becoming smaller than the current models. Therefore, when considering usage, please check not only the “Special notes”
but also the details of each specification for the dimension and power specifications etc., in the manual.
• Based on the above conditions, “No recommended substitute models” is described for those without a recommended
substitute model, but there are cases that can be replaced with an FX5U system configuration according to usage and
system configuration. Check the necessary functions and features when considering the replacement with FX5U system
configuration.

the information.
Points to Consider
• The “recommended substitute models” are described for individual FX3UC and extension modules that can be replaced by
iQ-F Series models. According to usage and system configuration (connection status of the extension modules), and cases
when the I/O numbers actually used are small, other models than the described “recommended substitute models” may be
suitable for replacement.
• The recommended substitute models for extension modules and built-in batteries are described with those that can be
connected to the FX5UC CPU module.
• Contents that require special caution when replacing each models are described in “Special notes”. Most recommended
substitute models have various differences in the specifications other than those in “Special notes” such as the dimension
becoming smaller than the current models. Therefore, when considering usage, please check not only the “Special notes”
but also the details of each specification for the dimension and power specifications etc., in the manual.
• Based on the above conditions, “No recommended substitute models” is described for those without a recommended
substitute model, but there are cases that can be replaced with an FX5UC system configuration according to usage and
system configuration. Check the necessary functions and features when considering the replacement with FX5UC system
configuration.
