This manual explains the MODBUS communication specifications, wiring, settings and programming for Mitsubishi Electric's FX5 programmable controller.
About this manual
The manual begins with safety warnings and general precautions for installing, wiring and maintaining the MELSEC iQ‑F FX5 controller. It then describes the system configuration, communication specifications and the MODBUS protocol details for both serial (RS‑232C/RS‑485) and TCP/IP modes.
Subsequent sections cover step‑by‑step wiring diagrams, parameter settings in GX Works3, master and slave functions, programming examples, and troubleshooting. Appendices provide fault codes, frame specifications and warranty information. This manual is written in Chinese.
