1.1Overview

1)Scope of this manual

This manual gives details on all aspects of operation and programming for FX1S, FX1N, FX2N and FX2NC programmable controllers (PLCs). For all information relating to the PLC hardware and installation, refer to the appropriate manual supplied with the unit.

2)How to use this manual

This manual covers all the functions of the highest specification Programmable (Logic) Controller (PLC). For this reason, the following indicator is included in relevant section titles to show which PLCs that section applies to;

FX1S

FX1N

FX2N

FX2NC

Shaded boxes indicate the applicable PLC type

-	“FX1S)”		- All FX1S PLCs
-	“FX1N”		- All FX1N PLCs
-	“FX2N”		- All FX2N PLCs
-	“FX2NC” - All FX2NC PLCs
						If an indicator box is half shaded, as shown to the
	FX1S		FX1N	FX2N	FX2NC	left, this means that not all the functions described in
						left, this means that not all the functions described in
						the current section apply to that PLC. The text
						explains in further detail or makes an independent
						reference.

If there are no indicator boxes then assume the section applies to all PLC types unless otherwise stated.

3)FX family

This is a generic term which is often used to describe all Programmable Controllers without identifying individual types or model names.

4)CPU version numbers and programming support

As Mitsubishi upgrades each model different versions have different capabilities. - Please refer to section 1.4 for details about peripheral support for each model.
