Notes Regarding the use of DM Units
General notes on the use of Communication Cables
Any device which utilizes a data communication function is susceptible to the wider effects of
local EMC noise. Therefore, when installing any communication cables care should always be
taken with the routing and location of those cables. The DM units identified on the previous page
are compliant with the EMC requirement when the following communication cables are used :
When using the FX-20P-CAB0/EN cable the Earth Strap must be connected to a suitable earth
point.

This section describes the product configuration and the system configuration of the FX-
10DM-E (hereafter referred to as "10DM"). Make sure that all accessories are included in the
package before using the 10DM. (Refer to Paragraph 1.6.)
1.1 Outline of product
The 10DM is mounted on the surface of the control panel
or the operation panel, and connected to the program-
ming connector of the FX Series PLC located inside the
control panel or the operation panel.
The 10DM is a small display module with which you can
monitor word devices of the PLC and change the data
using the switches of the 10DM while looking at the dis-
play unit of the 10DM.
1.2 Features
1) The STN character type liquid crystal display unit with
LED backlight displays "16 characters x 2 lines", and
is easy to look at.
2) As to data registers (D), up to 2 points of 16- or 32-bit data can be displayed and changed in
signed decimal numbers.
3) As to counters (C) and timers (T), the current value and the set value can be displayed and
changed.
4) The setting of the entry monitor and the system setting information stored in the EEPROM
is held against power interruption.

1.4 How to read this manual
This manual describes explanation as follows.
1) Function list
By selecting "4: OTHER"-"1: LANGUAGE", you can select Japanese (upper line) or English
(lower line). Highlighted characters in explanation on the functions in this manual indicate
the setting at the time of shipment from the factory.
2) Operation
In explanation on each function, representative key operations are described.
In such description, the symbols indicate key inputs.
The expression "[A] + [B]" indicates the operation to press the [A] and [B] keys at the same
time.
If you press the [A] key at first then the [B] keys later for this expression, buzzer sounds con-
tinuously to indicate that the input is invalid. However, when the [CLR] key is included in the
expression such as "[A] + [CLR]", press the [A] key at first then the [CLR] key soon.
For the detailed function of each key, refer to Paragraph 1.8.1.
