FX3GE40M, FX2N48ER-ES, FX2N8EYR, FX3G232BD

[Raalen]

I am working on a project using mitsubishi plc's. Initially started with just the FX3GE40M but needed more i/o and a rs232 connection for a Cardinal scale.

In order to increase the number of i/o I am using the FX2N48ER-ES,  FX2N8EYR and the FX3G232BD is for the RS232 connection. 

My question is how do i organize the proper sequence of i/o from one unit to the next using GXWORKS 2?

Its automatic assigned.

the FX3GE40M (main unit) lets say the I/O is:

X0 to X20

Y0 to Y 20

The first expansion unit connect to the main unit will be:

Lets say in your case using FX2N48ER-ES:

X21 to X44

Y21 to Y44

if the FX2N8EYR is connected in right side of your FX2N48ER-ES will be:

X45 to X48

Y45 to Y48

But the main unit have limit of I/O (expansions) you need check the main unit spec.

maybe im wrong and you can assignee the I/O address, im pretty new too using PLC

just write simple code using X21 and Y21 and check the unit led status of the respective I/O

if dont work the X22 and Y22 is the correspondent, and check all one by one if is the case to make sure

From Left to the right I have the FX3GE40M then the FX2N8EYR(8 outputs) then the FX2N48ER-ES

I have assigned the additional i/o in GX works 2 but now when i power the unit on, input [x0] on the FX3GE40M is the only input that responds.

The last input on your  FX3GE40M should be X27 therefore the first input on your extension block should be X30, the last output should be Y17 so your first extension block output should be Y20. Note extension blocks always start their addressing with the next available multiple of 10 (30, 40 ,50 etc) if your last input on your PLC was X24 the first input on your extension would be X30. This is all done automatically, and doesn't require any setting up in software.

Thank you all, It was a hardware issue
