Explanation of the icons
Depending on control points, total 256 I/O extension devices can be connected.
*Includes CC-Link remote I/O
FX3U/FX3UC can count at high speed input frequency 100 kHz (1-phase 6 pts), 50 kHz (2-phase 2 pts), 10 kHz (1-phase 2 pts).
Depending on control points, total 384 I/O extension devices can be connected.
*Includes CC-Link remote I/O
FX3S/FX3GC has 2 axes simple positioning function built into the main unit.
Depending on the purpose, various special function blocks can be connected.
FX3G/FX3U/FX3UC has 3 axes simple positioning built into the main unit.
*FX3G 14 pt, 24 pt models have independent 2 axes.
Function can be easily added by mounting a function expansion board to the main unit.
I/O can be connected in connector format, reducing wiring effort.
In FX3UC-32MT-LT, CC-Link/LT master functionality is built-in.
1 phase: 60 kHz x 4 pts/ 10 kHz x 2 pts    2 phase: 30 kHz x 2 pts/ 5 kHz 1 pt
1 phase: 60 kHz x 2 pts/ 10 kHz x 4 pts     2 phase: 30 kHz x 1 pt/ 5 kHz 1 pt
In FX3S-30MR/ES-2AD, FX3S-30MT/ES-2AD, and FX3S-30MT/ESS-2AD, 2 ch analog input (current input) function is built-in.
