*1 The RI/5V can be switched. Use the IPC’s switch to change if necessary.
*2 Set up the SIO type with the DIP Switch. Please set up as follows according to SIO type to be used.
*3 When making communication between an External Device and COM port on the Expansion slot,
only RS-232C is supported. However, ER (DTR/CTS) control cannot be executed because of the
specification of COM port.
For connection with External Device, use user-created cables and disable Pin Nos. 1, 4, 6 and 9.
Please refer to the IPC manual for details of pin layout.
*4 Set up the SIO type with the BIOS. Please refer to the IPC manual for details of BIOS.

*5 When setting up communication between an External Device and the RS-232C/422/485 interface
module, use the IPC (RS-232C) or PS5000 (RS-422/485) cable diagrams. However, when using
PFXZPBMPR42P2 in a RS-422/485 (4-wire) configuration with no flow control, connect 7.RTS+
and 8.CTS+, and connect 6.RTS- and 9.CTS-.
When using RS-422/485 communication with External Devices, you may need to reduce the
transmission speed and increase the TX Wait time.
*6 To use RS-422/485 communication on the RS-232C/422/485 interface module, the DIP Switch
setting is required. Please refer to "Knowledge Base" (FAQs) on the support site. (http://www.pro-
face.com/trans/en/manual/1001.html)

*8 For the connection with the External Device, on the user-created cable read as if the connector on
the Display-side is a M12 A-coding 8 pin socket. The pin assignment is the same as described in
the cable diagram. For the M12 A-coding connector, use PFXZPSCNM122.

• Please ground the FG pin of the External Device body. Use a grounding resistance of 100Ω 2mm2 or thicker
wire, or your country's applicable standard. Refer to your External Device manual for more details.
• The SG and FG are connected inside the Display. When connecting the External Device to the SG, design
your system to avoid short-circuit loops.
• Connect an isolation unit if the communication is not stable due to noise or other factors.

• The shield of cables connected to FX2N-485-BD, FX1N-485-BD, FX2NC-485ADP and FX3U-

485ADP must be D-class grounded.
• Connect the shield of cable connected to FX0N-485ADP to the adapter FG terminal. In addition,
always connect the FG terminal of FX0N-485ADP to the ground terminal of External Device body
with D-class grounded.
• FX3U-485-BD, FX3U-485ADP and FX3G-485-BD have built-in termination resistance. Use the
termination resistance switch to set termination resistance.
