Cable Diagrams
The cable diagram illustrated below and the cable diagrams recommended by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation may differ. Using these cables for your PLC, however,
will not cause any problems.
Ground your PLC's FG terminal according to your country's applicable standard. For details, refer to the corresponding PLC manual.
Connect the FG line of the Shield cable to either the GP or PLC,
depending on your environment. When using a connector hood
and grounding the FG line, be sure to use an electrical conductor.
The following connection diagrams show examples for connecting a shielded cable to the PLC.
For the RS-232C connection, use a cable length less than 15m.
If a shielded cable is connected to the RS-422 port, it must be no
longer than 600 m.
If a communications cable is used, it must be connected to the
SG (signal ground).

Cable Diagram 14 (RS-422 2-wire)
When using only the FX0N-485ADP, the maximum cable length is
500m. Whe the FX1N-485-BD, FX2N-485-BD or FX3U-485-BD are
included, the maximum cable length is 50m.
As a general rule, connect the PLC at the end of the circuits wiring
(see below).
With the FX3UC, the PLC unit's termination resistance is built into
the FX3U-485-BD expansion board. When using a 2-wire system,
be sure to change the unit's dip switch to 110.

*5 For the FX1S series and FACON series, addresses D1000 to D2499 are file registers.
File registers can be used based on the file data amount designated through the ladder
program.
When this amount is not specified, a "Host Communication" error (02:FA) occurs.
When changing the PLC's file data amount settings during GP-PLC communication,
be sure to turn ON/OFF the GP unit's power. As long as the screen is not changed to a
different one, the screen's file register will continue to access the memory value that
was designated before the change.

MELSEC-QnA series communications mode selection (when using a link unit)

When using the MELSEC-QnA series unit, either mode 2 or mode 1 can be selected during the entering of the initial settings, when the GP is in the OFFLINE
mode.
Mode 2:
This is a new communications mode. It is enabled when less than 64

devices have been designated by a single screens tags. The communications speed has been improved. Select this mode when using less
than 64 devices.
Mode 1:
This mode is equivalent to the communications mode used previously.

This mode is valid for 64 or more devices have been specified by a
single screens tags. The communications speed has been improved.
Select this mode when using 64 or more devices.
If the on-screen data memory area in the GP is initilaized or if the

on-screen data is transferred from the drawing software, the GP
returns to mode 1 (its initial setting). Use the offline settings area
to select mode 2.
In mode 2, the communications speed may not always be improved depending on which tags and system area are used, as
well as how the PLC's read areas are allocated.

Internal 2-Port Feature Usage Notes

The selections USE ADAPTER MODE/CPU DIRECT MODE will be displayed only when a direct CPU connection is used.
The factory setting will become Adapter(when using 2-Port Adapter II).
This feature can be used only while the GP is in ONLINE mode.
Use Digital's transfer cable GPW-CB02.
58
If you transfer screen data while the GP is in ONLINE mode, the

screen will not change to the data transfer screen automatically.
Thus, you will need to change the screen manually to the
OFFLINE mode's [Main Menu/ Transfer] screen. When sending
screen data, be sure to pause or quit any GPP feature ladder
monitoring or device monitoring.
Since the internal 2-Port feature uses the GPs single tool connector, you will not be able to use optional equipment which requires the tool connector (i.e. a Barcode Reader, etc.)
Peripheral equipment which cannot be connected to the GP's tool
connector (such as a Programming Console) is not compatible
with the GP's Internal 2-Port feature. To use this type of equipment, you will need to use the external 2- Port Adapter II.
When using the GPs built-in 2-Port feature, be sure not to switch
to OFFLINE mode while the GPP software is communicating with
the PLC. Switching to OFFLINE mode will result in a communication (data transfer) break
With GP2000, GP77R and ST series units, if the 2-Port feature is
designated, the Simulation feature cannot be used. Be sure to
select Adapter or Direct when using the Simulation feature.
When using the GPs built-in 2-Port feature with the MELSEC-Q
Series, be sure to set your PC's data link speed to the same values as used by the GP. If the setting values are different, an error
will appear on the GP and your PC. The error will appear as shown
below.

Note:
Ground your PLC's FG terminal according to your country's applicable standard. For details, refer to the corresponding PLC manual.
Pull out the Transfer Cable Shield cover and shape it into a wire
and connect it to the PLC's FG terminal.
GP230-IS12-O Cable FG terminal is not connected to GP's FG.
If the PLC is equipped with a Termination Resistor switch, turn it ON.
If the PLC has no switch, then set up the appropriate termination
resistance on the PLC.
Fot the RS-422 connection, use a cable length less than 500m.
As a general rule, connect the PLC at either end of the circuit, not
in the middle.
When making your own cable, Mitsubishi's SPEV (SB)-MPC-0.2*3P cable is

recommended as the connection cable.
The cable connection lines are as illustrated below and should be less than
10m.

Pull out a small amount of the Transfer Cables shield, make a
wire out of it and connect it to the PLCs FG terminal.
The GP230-IS12-0 cables FG terminal is not connected to the
GPs FG line.
When using the FX3UC, the unit's termination resistance is built
in to the FX3U-485-BD expansion board. When using a 4-wire
system, be sure to change the unit's dip switch to 330.
When using FX2N-485-BD or FX3U-485-BD, be sure the cable is
less than 50 meters.
As a general rule, connect the PLC at the end of the circuits
wiring (see below).
When making your own cable, the Mitsubishi SPEV (SB)-MPC-0.2x3P is

recommended.

Maximum Number of Consecutive Device Address

The following lists the maximum number of consecutive addresses that can
be read by each PLC. Refer to these tables to utilize Block Transfer.
When the device is setup using the methods below, the Data Communication
Speed declines by the number of times the device is read.
When consecutive addresses exceed the maximum data number range
When an address is designated for division
When device types are different
To speed up data communication, plan the tag layout in screen units, as
consecutive devices. (Includes the Alarm and Trend screens.)

Address Conversion Tables

Addresses can or cannot be converted depending on the address combination.
The combinations which cannot be converted vary with the external
device manufacturers. See the following address global conversion table to
convert the addresses correctly.
How to Read the Tables

The symbols used in the table have the following meanings:
: If Conversion Mode is "Word", both word and bit devices will be converted.
If Conversion Mode is "Bit", only bit devices will be converted.
: When the selected conversion mode is [Word], only Word addresses are
converted. Selecting [Bit] will convert only bit addresses.
: If Conversion Mode is "Word", only word devices will be converted.
: When [Bit] mode is selected, the system converts only bit addresses.
(Blanks cannot be converted)
For the timers and counters, the bit indicates the contact or coil used, and
the word indicates the current value (elapsed value) or setting value
