Power supply specifications and example of 
external wiring

 For more details, refer to FX

3UC

 Series User's Manual

 - Hardware Edition.

3.1.1

Power supply specifications

The specifications for the power supply of the main unit are shown in
the following table.

*1 Input/output extension blocks and special function units/blocks

are not contained i n  power  consumpti on.  For power

consumption of the FX

2NC

 input/output extension blocks, refer

to the following table.

Refer to the FX

3UC

 Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.

For the power consumed by the special function units/blocks,

refer to the appropriate manuals.

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the
PLC to ensure safe system operation even during external
power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.

1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop

circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for opposite
movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an
interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the equipment at the
upper and lower positioning limits).

2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a

watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are
turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by
the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block,
output control may be disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to
ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.

3) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor

output device, the output could be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents,
external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to
ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.

DESIGN 
PRECAUTIONS

Do not bundle the control line together with or lay it close to the
main circuit or power line. As a guideline, lay the control line at
least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or
power line.
Noise may cause malfunctions.

Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to
peripheral device connectors, power connectors or input/output
connectors.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC
failure.

Notes

Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the main
unit and extension devices.

Even if the power supply causes an instantaneous power failure
for less than 5ms, the PLC can continue to operate.

If a long-time power failure or an abnormal voltage drop occurs,
the PLC stops, and output is turned off. When the power supply
is restored, it will automatically restart (when the RUN input is
on).

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

Connect the DC power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals
specified in this manual. If an AC power supply is connected to
a DC input/output terminal or DC power supply terminal, the
PLC will burn out.

Do not wire vacant terminals externally.
Doing so may damage the product.

Perform class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100

 or

less) to the grounding terminal on the main unit.
Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems
(refer to section 3.2).

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.

Notes

Input/output wiring 50 to 100m (164’1” to 328’1”) long will cause
almost no problems of noise, but, generally, the wiring length
should be less than 20m (65’7”) to ensure the safety.

Extension cables are easily affected by noise. Lay the cables at
a distance of at least 30 to 50mm (1.19” to 1.97”) away from the
PLC output and other power lines.

 input extension

blocks, refer to the Subsection 3.3.3

Use a 24V DC +20% -15% DC power supply whose ripple (p-p) is
within 5%. The allowable range of the 24V DC power supply may be
narrower when special function blocks/units are connected.

Grounding

Ground the PLC as stated below.

Perform class D grounding. (Grounding resistance: 100 

 or less)

Ground the PLC independently if possible.
If it cannot be grounded independently, ground it jointly as shown 
below.

Position the grounding point as close to the PLC as possible to 
decrease the length of the ground wire.
