The FX2N-232BD interface adapter board
provides an RS-232C interface for serial data
communications with the MELSEC FX2N.
Data and programmes can be transferred
with the standard RS-232 protocol. The
unit’s integrated automatic parameter
setting facility also makes it possible to con-
figure a modem – for example for remote
programming and maintenance tasks.
Data can be transferred directly to other
serial peripherals using the RS dedicated
instruction. Connected programming
systems are identified automatically.
The adapter board is installed in the
expansion slot provided for it in the
FX2N base unit.
If the adapter is used no other adapters
can be used.
If additional RS232C interfaces are
required, the FX2N-232IF can be used
for extension.

The FX2N-422BD interface adapter board
provides a second RS-422 interface for
connection of an additional device to the
controller (programming unit or operator
terminal).
In addition to programming the PLC the
main applications for this interface include
production data logging, process visualisa-
tion and man-machine communication.
If one programming unit is already con-
nected to the integrated RS-422 interface it
is not possible to connect a second one
to the FX2N-422BD interface adapter.
It is possible to connect two control
units, however.
The adapter is installed in the expansion
slot provided for it in the FX2N base unit.
No additional adapter boards can be
used when this unit is installed.
