FUZHOU FU CHANG WECON ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
1. The installation instructions
Before the installation make sure that the PLC host and the equipment connected to bd board have
been powered off. Please install the BD module in the corresponding position of the PLC, and lock the four
standard screws. In case of the dust interference, please cover BD right part by PLC’s cover.
Note:
1) Install the board firmly on the PLC. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
2) The suggested tightening torque is 0.3-0.6 N.m.
Warning:
1) Disconnect the power supply before installing/removing the board and wiring in case of electric
shock or product damage.
2) The After completing the installation and wiring, do not replace the PLC top cover before turning
on the power.
Supported version:
LX3VP：25103 , 16050;LX3VE：25201, 16050.
LX3VP：25105、16000 or higher version，LX3VE：25203, 16000 or higher version.
2. Key Features
1) Maximum number of connections 8, regardless of master and slave.
2) The current protocol only supports: MODBUS-TCP.
3. The shape and terminal description
1) The case of one BD board
2) The case of two BD board

3) Light
Note:
When the power light and the com light blink simultaneously (1 Hz), that means the PLC does not
support Ethernet BD.

1) Sis the address of slave (high byte) and communication command (low byte, defined by MODBUS
protocol);
2) mis the starting address number of the slave;
D is the length of the data (read or write), the unit is word. (The specific setting is shown in the
following table 4-2);

POW: power light, normal state is always bright when
connected.
COM: the flicker frequency corresponds to communication with
plc.
DATA: data light blinks if the communication with network is ok
LINK: when connect to the network then the light is lit, if the
connect is not ok, there will be exterminated or chaotic situation.

*1. Disconnect time : only LX3VP(25105,16003）and LX3VE（25203,16003）or higher version can
support this function.
Disconnect time : When plc serves as slave, and there is no communication within specific time(it can
be configured in the program), then the communication will be disconnected.
When the disconnect time of each slave device is non-zero, then the "disconnect time" of each slave
device is used.
When the disconnect time of each slave device is non-zero, and the "total disconnect time" is not zero,
then the "total disconnect time" is used.

2) Number of connections
The maximum number of connections is 8
The setting of connection number: The number of settings should be the same as the number of
connections.
If the connection number is exceeded, user will get error code in D8067 (means the value is exceeded)
3) Protocol setting

When LX3V-ETH-BD serves as a slave, user could switch the master equipment.
The specific situation is: when the Ethernet BD serves as a slave, and reach the number of of
connection, one of the master equipment is disconnected, user could connect another master device.
Note:
No need to configure IP address when LX3V-ETH-BD serves as a slave.
