- Programming: Mitsubishi PLCs, including the FX3U series, can be programmed using Mitsubishi’s GX Developer or GX Works software. These programming environments offer powerful tools for and managing PLC programs.
- Power Supply: The FX3U-16MR/ES model operates on a 100-240V AC power supply, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
Basic Ladder Logic Programing Example:
- Install software CX-Programmer: Ensure you have a CX-Programmer installed on your computer.
- Create The New Project: Open CX-Programmer and create a new project. Select the CP1E-N14DT-D PLC model.
- Create a Ladder Logic Program: In the project workspace, create a new ladder diagram. Connect the contact and coil in a single rung.
- Download the Program: Connect your computer to the CP1E-N14DT-D PLC using the appropriate cable Download the program to the PLC.
- Monitor and Test: Use the monitoring tools in CX-Programmer to test and ensure the logic works as intended. Activate the input (IN0) and check if the output (OUT0) turns on.
