MELSEC-F series PLC built-in pulse output functions and positioning functions

FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC, FX3UC series positioning function (main unit: transistor output type)

FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC, FX3UC series positioning function (main unit: transistor output type)
  • Low cost system can be realized without any special expansion devices dedicated for positioning.
  • 1-speed positioning and repetitive positioning can be easily performed by the PLC alone.
  • Dedicated positioning instructions are built-in. With the new batch setting positioning instruction (DTBL), positioning can be executed just by specifying in the PLC program the number of a positioning operation set in GX Developer.
    (FX3S: DTBL instruction is not supported)
  • 3 independent axes can output maximum 100 kHz pulse train from outputs Y000, Y001, Y002 (transistor output).
    (FX3S and FX3G 14 pt/24 pt models and FX3GC have 2 independent axes)
