 The operation of the positioning function is the same as iQ-R series positioning module.
 Just by writing positioning data from the CPU’s module sequence program to the buffer memory, linear
interpolation can be easily executed.
 With simple parameter setting and startup from the sequence program, positioning control,
synchronization control, cam control, torque control, etc. can be done.
 The engineering environment can be executed with GX Works3 by itself.

Flexible device setting and dedicated instruction

 Discontinued the system of function based on the device number such as timer and
counter.
Programming is possible without considering the device number.
 Special instructions increased substantially and convenient instructions are increased.
Substantially increased dedicated instructions

 Handy timer and counter settings
A great number of dedicated instructions have been added since the
FX3.
The timer and counter properties are
determined by data type and how [FX3] 510 types [FX5] 1014 types

created regardless of the device number. The newly added instructions include convenient ones that are interchangeable
with the MELSEC iQ-R and dedicated instructions for built-in functions.

From modules of FX3 series, initial cost is reduced.

 Because FX3U and FX5U have the same external sizes if points are the same, replacing one with the
other is easy.
 If you are using certain modules of FX3U series, they can be reused using bus conversion module.*
 For FX3UC and FX5UC, the same wire can be reused for the pin location and the connector “to reduce
the wiring cost”. * Some models cannot be reused. See manual for details.
