Fx5u Selection Tool

Use the in GX Works3. When you open the "Add New Module" dialog, you can filter by "FX5U Compatible" to avoid mistakenly selecting an FX3U or L-series module.

An end user needs an FX5U to control a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine. Requirements: 48 DC inputs (sensors), 32 transistor outputs (solenoids), 4 thermocouple inputs (heat seal bars), 1 analog output (film tension), and Ethernet/IP to a servo drive. fx5u selection tool
