📎 Comparison Notes

FX3UC-64MT/D: Sink output, 64K steps

FX3UC-64MT/DSS: ソース出力, 32K steps

Difference from FX3U-64MT: FX3U is AC-powered with screw terminals; FX3UC is DC-powered with plug connectors, smaller size for built-in machine installation

🔧 Typical Applications

Small multi-axis servo machines, 包装機, screw fastening machines, inspection jigs, custom automation machines. Ideal for cabinets with limited space, high I/O count and multi-axis positioning requirements.

FX3UC-64MT/D Onboard I/O Assignment (Octal, fixed onboard, 32で + 32外)

ルール: FX series X/Y use octal numbering; 数字 8 そして 9 do not exist. Onboard I/O addresses are fixed; expansion modules follow sequentially.

重要: X000~X005 high-speed inputs (5μs), used for positioning pulse and high-speed counter; X006~X017 default filter 50μs, filter time adjustable via D8020.

| グループ 1 | X000, X001, X002, X003, X004, X005, X006, X007 |

| グループ 2 | X010, X011, X012, X013, X014, X015, X016, X017 |

| グループ 3 | X020, X021, X022, X023, X024, X025, X026, X027 |

| グループ 4 | X030, X031, X032, X033, X034, X035, X036, X037 |

✅ Input summary: X000 ~ X037 (32 合計ポイント)

Output Y (32 ポイント, transistor SINK type)

Fixed built-in positioning pulse channels: Y000(脈), Y001(方向); Y002(脈), Y003(方向); Y004(脈), Y005(方向). These 6 points are prioritized for servo/stepper driving for 3-axis positioning.

✅ Output summary: Y000 ~ Y037 (32 合計ポイント)

補足事項

1. Fixed onboard I/O: X000~X037 / Y000~Y037. I/O addresses continue sequentially for expansion modules (例えば. first 16IN/16OUT expansion: X040~X057, Y040~Y057)
2. Max local I/O total: 256 ポイント (64 onboard +192 expansion); CC-Link remote I/O upper limit 384 ポイント
3. Clarification: FX3UC uses plug connectors instead of screw terminals. The above are logical soft-element addresses, NOT pin definitions of the plug. Pinout wiring diagrams are separate.
4. Positioning allocation reminder: For 3-axis servo control, avoid using Y0/Y1, Y2/Y3, Y4/Y5 as ordinary outputs.

FX3UC-64MT/D Fault List & Hierarchical Troubleshooting Manual

Unit highlights: DC24V電源, plug connector type, sink transistor output, onboard Y0/Y1,Y2/Y3,Y4/Y5 for 3 pulse axes; no BD board, expansion via ADP/bus adapter; 5V bus max 480mA, easy overload; EOL.

Fault reading: Online diagnosis in GX Works2; fault codes stored in D8060~D8067, M8060~M8067 are corresponding fault flags.

1. Quick LED Indicator Check (No PC required on site)

重要な注意事項: When ERR is steady ON, all outputs are forced OFF and servo pulse output stops. Safety circuits should be implemented externally, do not rely solely on PLC internal stop protection.

2. System Fault Code List (D Register + M Flag)

3. Fault Troubleshooting by Category (Sorted by On-site Failure Frequency)

(1) 電源の障害 (High-frequency for FX3UC DC version)

症状: POW off/blinking, random ERR alarm, lost pulses, X input chatter, intermittent expansion modules

トラブルシューティングの手順:

1. Measure PLC supply voltage: DC24V allowable DC20.4~DC28.8V; abnormal behavior likely below 20V
2. Polarity check: Reverse polarity burns the PLC directly on FX3UC-D
3. Disconnect all expansions and ADP adapters, power only main unit to isolate fault between onboard PSU and downstream short/overload
4. Calculate 5V bus load: Max 480mA onboard 5V. アナログ, CC-Link ADP and temperature modules draw 5V current. Exceeding limit causes random freeze and ERR flicker
5. Fit fuse in 24V loop (1おすすめの) to avoid permanent PLC damage from short circuit

Clarification: SS is input common terminal. Sink model SS connects to 0V. Do not mix with 24V supply, risk of short circuit.

(2) X Input Abnormality (信号がありません / Always ON / Random false trigger)

症状: Sensor activated but X does not light; or X triggers randomly without sensor signal

1. Sink FX3UC-64MT/D: X sinks current, SS to 0V, NPN sensors required; PNP sensors do not work directly
2. Sensor power supply: Avoid powering large quantity of sensors from PLC built-in 24V, voltage drop easily occurs
3. Filter setting: X0~X5 default 5μs high speed; X06~X37 default 50μs, modified by D8020. Increase filter for noise, reduce filter for high-speed counting
4. Connector inspection: FX3UC pin connectors suffer frequently from retracted pins, oxidation and poor crimping; higher failure rate than terminal FX3U
5. Measure voltage between X and SS with multimeter, distinguish sensor fault or damaged PLC input channel

(3) Pulse Output Fault (Y0/Y1,Y2/Y3,Y4/Y5, main pain point of this model)

症状: Servo does not move on instruction, lost pulses, positioning deviation, single-direction travel, overshoot, M8029 not completed

注記: Only Y0/Y2/Y4 support high-speed pulse output, Y1/Y3/Y5 are direction signals. Ordinary Y points cannot output high-speed pulses.

Troubleshooting checklist:

1. Program side: Enable flag for DRVA/DRVI/DSZR/PLSY, pulse channel conflict (one axis cannot be triggered by multiple positioning instructions simultaneously); D8140/D8142/D8144 are 3-axis pulse counter registers for pulse monitoring
2. 配線: Sink output, check servo pulse/direction interface type match. Many servo drives are source-input type; series resistor or signal converter required. Pulse cable shielding, separate from power cables, terminating resistor for long cables
3. 負荷: Transistor output cannot drive high current directly; short circuit on Y will destroy transistor permanently
4. EMI干渉: Servo power cable routed together with pulse wire, poor grounding → pulse loss, inconsistent positioning error each run
5. Special register check: D8130 (最高速度), D8131 (Base speed), D8132 (Accel/decel). Out-of-limit parameters cause no output or alarm
6. 絶縁試験: Disconnect servo cable, test Y pulse pin with oscilloscope/pulse meter, separate PLC pulse failure vs servo receive failure

(4) High-speed Counter Abnormality (X0~X5)

症状: Count value unchanged, jumping reading, incorrect count

1. Confirm high-speed input allocation; X0-X5 hardware high-speed port cannot be shared between counter and pulse input
2. 単相 / two-phase mode, multiplication setting (M8198/M8199 etc.)
3. Encoder power supply, A/B phase sequence; reversed phase results in reversed count direction
4. Do not set excessive filter in D8020 otherwise high-frequency encoder pulses are lost
5. Sink encoder compatibility, shield cable single-end grounding for long runs

(5) 拡張モジュール / ADP Adapter Faults (FX3UC no BD board, ADP only)

症状: ERR flicker on power up, module not detected, analog signal jump, CC-Link disconnection

1. FX3UC expansion bus requires FX2NC-CNV-IF converter. Direct connection to FX3U modules fails recognition
2. Sum of 5V current calculation, over 480mA causes random module drop and crash
3. Hot-plugging expansion connector → high risk of burning bus chip (FX3UC connector fragile)
4. Analog module: Read module fault code via BFM29; check 4-20mA/0-10V wiring, 2-wire transmitter power
5. CC-Link ADP: Station number, ボーレート, terminating resistor, single-end shield grounding

(6) 通信障害 (Programming port, RS485ADP, N:N, inverter MODBUS)

症状: PC cannot connect PLC, GOT disconnect, inverter read/write timeout

1. Programming cable: FX3UC Mini-DIN port; confirm driver, COM port, PLC model selected as FX3UC
2. RS485 ADP: A/B wiring no reversal, 110Ω terminating resistor at both bus ends; shield single-end ground
3. Communication flags: M8063, D8063; MODBUS detailed error via M8438/D8438 (timeout, checksum, format error)
4. Duplicate station ID, slave power off, excessive bus branches

(7) プログラム / メモリ / Battery Fault

症状: Parameters cleared after power cycle, program missing, parameter error alarm on power up

1. BATT ON = lithium battery exhausted; part number FX3U-BAT. Replace battery while powered ON otherwise retentive M/D data erased
2. EEPROM program storage: Frequent RUN write to D-area accelerates EEPROM wear
3. Program password locked: Cannot upload program; online monitor available confirms communication OK
4. Standard Maintenance Workflow (Minimize secondary damage)
5. Power OFF, visual inspection: Burned connector pins, pin retreat, 汚染, cable insulation damage, short marks
6. Remove all loads: Disconnect expansions, servo and sensors, power only PLC main unit
7. Power ON, observe LED, connect GX Works2 to read diagnostic code
8. Isolate fault category: Main unit hardware / external wiring / 拡張モジュール / program parameter
9. Avoid repeated power cycling with short-circuit fault; FX3UC DC supply has limited self-recovery and mainboard burnout risk
10. Common Misjudgments Encountered On-site
11. BATT LED ON ≠ PLC failure, only retentive data lost; machine can still run automatically
12. ERR blinking ≠ hardware damage; most cases are program operation error, communication timeout, expansion mismatch
13. 5V overload is the top hidden fault for FX3UC: symptoms are random freeze, positioning chaos, 断続的な通信, hard to diagnose at first glance
14. FX3UC plug connector: 圧着不良 / loose pins occur far more often than FX3U terminal type
15. Burnt pulse Y channel: Y status shows ON in software monitor but no hardware pulse output; remedy: reassign channel or replace PLC
16. Fault Reset Methods
17. Program and operation error: STOP → RUN, auto cleared for most cases
18. Latched M8068 operation error: Software force OFF required; power cycle will not clear
19. Fatal hardware fault (M8061): Remove hardware fault then power cycle
20. 通信障害: Auto reset after communication recovery; M8127 available for manual reset
21. スペア & Replacement Guidance After Failure
