For related system and data transfer with external equipment and third party devices, serial communication has long been the established connection method. Serial communication allows the FX Series to connect both efficiently and reliably with other PLCs, sensor, printers, and modems, etc. Multi drop networks , non-protocol communication, and remote maintenance are just some of the many uses.

Modbus

Both an open network and a serial communicator, Modbus-RTU allows FX3 series PLCs to interface with a wide range of equipment and devices. Using RS-485 and RS-232, the FX3U-485ADP-MD and FX3U-232ADP-MB expand the networking capabilities of the FX system while still supporting general communication with other FX systems, non-protocol devices, and serial modems. 

Modbus serial communication parameters and communication execution are setup easily within the ladder program using GX Works2 or GX Developer, and the FX Modbus Master uses the special ADPRW instruction to communicate with up to 16 Slave stations.

1:N Computer to PLC Communication with a network of up to 16 FX, A, and Q PLCs

1:1 RS-232 Communication Equipment to PLC When communicating over an RS-232 interface, the PC can communicate with one FX PLC.

Parallel Link

Auxiliary Relays (M) and Data Register (D) are update automatically between  two PLCs of the same series

Remote Maintenance

Using a modem connection, a PC an monitor/force devices and perform program upload/download to a PLC from remote locations

Non-Protocol Communication is possible between a PLC and any external equipment with an RS -232C or RS-485 (RS-422) interface

Open Field Networks

Across factory floors , though applications and database may be made up of equipment from different manufacturers, reliable information must be passed both quickly and easily . To accomplish this, one must keep everyone speaking the same language, and therefore it is best to use open networks as a backbone to the control system . Several of the supported FX Series open network extension are shown below.

CC-Link

For inter-system data transfer and remote I/O handling, CC-Link enables the update of word and bit devices refreshed at up to 10 Mbps. With CC-Link based I/O, the 256 I/O Control limit of the FX3U/FX3UC goes up to 384* , and with CC-Link Ver.2.00, expanded cyclic transmission can also be performed, enabling more link points to be established.

Programming via CC-Link is also a new feature of the FX3 series. A user connected to the master FX3 PLC programming port can access all connected intelligent device station FX3 PLCs from one location, saving time and money.

Positioning ; FX3S,FX3G,FX3U,FX3UC

The built-in high-speed pulse outputs on all transistor-type FX Series PLCs, along with special positioning operations instructions, are designed to satisfy simple independent-axis positioning applications using servo and stepping motors with speed and precision. For more advanced applications like 4-axis control and noise-free interpolation, the FX system can be expanded with special adapters and special function blocks. With high performance a low cost, the FX Series positioning possibilities provide a formidable package.

Upgraded Built-in Positioning
