Hello everyone, along with PLC Siemens S7-1200, PLC Mitsubishi FX3U is the most used type of PLC in the world at the moment. Today I will guide you to use FX3U connected to E5CC temperature controller via Modbus RTU (RS485)

I use FX3U-485ADP-MB Expansion Module and use Channel 2 of FX3U PLC. TK4S you must choose the type that supports RS485.
