Attention
This product is designed for use in industrial applications.
Caution for EC Directive
The analog special adapters have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best per-
formance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output device
Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered care-
fully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), these
users should follow those manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss or
accuracy between ±10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are fol-
lowed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy as
specified in this manual.
•Sensitive analog cable 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 accuracy can be improved out by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the
analog special adapters or through a users program.

used for the following example).
For installation method to other PLCs, refer to the respective PLC User's manual
Hardware Edition.
Procedure
1) Turn off the power.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the PLC main unit and special adapter,
and demount the main unit and special adapter mounted on DIN rail or
mounted directly using screws.
2) Install an expansion board to the main unit.
For the expansion board installation procedure, refer to the following manual:
→ FX3U Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition
3) Remove the special adapter connector cover
on the expansion board (fig.A).
When connecting this product to another
special adapter, please replace the
'expansion board' in the above description
with a 'special adapter' and perform the
procedure as indicated.
4)
Slide the special adapter slide lock
(fig.B) of the main unit.
When connecting this product to another
special adapter, please replace the 'main
unit' in the above description with a 'special
adapter' and perform the procedure as
indicated. (Please replace the following
procedures similarly.)
5)
Connect the
special adapter
(fig.C) to the
main unit as
shown on the
right
.
6) Slide back the
special adapter
slide lock (fig.B)
of the main unit
to fix the special
adapter (fig.C).
Connection precautions
Connect all the high-speed I/O special adapters before connecting other
special adapters when they are used in combination.
Do not connect a high-speed I/O special adapter on the left side of any

3. Wiring
3.1 Applicable Cable and Terminal Tightening Torque
3.1.1 Terminal block (European type)
1) Wire size
Wiring to analog device should use 20-22 AWG wire.
2) Applicable cable
3) Termination of cable end
Strip the coating of strand wire and twist the cable core before connecting it,
or strip the coating of single wire before connecting it.
An alternative connection is to use a ferrule with insulating sleeve.
<Reference>
*1 Old model name: CRIMPFOX ZA 3
*2 Old model name: CRIMPFOX UD 6
When using a stick terminal with insulating sleeve, choose a wire with proper
cable sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, or otherwise, the wire
cannot be inserted easily.
The tightening torque must be 0.22 to 0.25 N•m. Do not tighten terminal
screws with a torque outside the above-mentioned range. Failure to do so may
cause equipment failures or 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.
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 power line or shield of the analog input/output cable
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 ,high-voltage line, or load line.
2) Ground the shield of the analog input/output cable at one point on the
signal receiving side. However, do not use common grounding with heavy
electrical systems.
•Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in
accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions
described in the manual.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
- Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires
of unspecified size.
- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected
parts are directly stressed.
•Make sure to properly wire the terminal block in accordance with the
following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions
described in the manual of the PLC main unit.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual of the
PLC main unit.

3.2 Power Supply Wiring
For the power supply wiring, refer to the following manual.
→ FX3S/FX3G/FX3GC/FX3U/FX3UC Series User’s Manual - Analog Control Edition
3.3 Wiring of Analog Input
→ For the terminal configuration, refer to Section 1.2
*1 Use 2-core shielded twisted pair cable for the analog input lines, and separate
the analog input lines from other power lines or inductive lines.
*2 Make sure to short-circuit the 'V+' and 'I+' terminals when current is input.
(: input channel number)
*3 24 V DC service power supply of the FX3S/FX3G/FX3U Series PLC can also be
used.
3.4 Grounding
Grounding should be performed as stated below.
•The grounding resistance should be 100 Ωor 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 respective PLC User's manual Hardware Edition.
•The grounding wire size should be AWG 22-20 (0.3-0.5 mm2).
