Product details

What this adapter does

The FX5-232ADP is a slot-powered expansion module that adds a single RS-232C serial port to a Mitsubishi MELSEC-F FX5 PLC. It handles baud rates from 300 up to 115200 bps, supports both half-duplex and full-duplex communication, and includes photocoupler isolation between the communication line and the CPU. Maximum transmission distance is 15 meters via a standard 9-pin D-sub male connector. The adapter can operate as a Modbus master, making it a straightforward way to talk to older serial instruments or drives without fieldbus conversion.

Frequently asked questions

What baud rates does the FX5-232ADP support?

The adapter supports baud rates from 300 bps up to 115200 bps, including standard rates like 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 (bps).

Can the FX5-232ADP be used as a direct replacement for the FX5-4AD-TC-ADP?

No. The FX5-232ADP is a serial communication adapter (RS-232C), while the FX5-4AD-TC-ADP is a thermocouple input module. They occupy the same expansion slot but serve different functions—wiring and program changes would be required.
