How to Add High-Speed Input Module FX5-2HC/ES in GX Works 3 Version 1.080j

Question:

I am trying to add a High-Speed Input Module to my PLC Fx5u CPU as per the manual instructions. However, when I navigate to the [Parameter] > [Module Information] and right-click to [Add New Module], I cannot locate the Pulse I/O or Positioning module in any section. Can someone please assist me in finding this missing module?

To access the "Element Selection" Window, locate the upgrade to version 1.101F in the "Pulse I/0, Positioning" section.

It sounds like you might be facing a compatibility issue or some software limitations here. I would first recommend checking if your PLC Fx5u CPU firmware is up-to-date. Sometimes, certain options won't show up if your firmware is outdated. Also, could you double-check if you have the correct programming environment? GT Works3 or GX Works3 usually work best for Fx5u CPUS. Lastly, if you have access to their tech support, it might be worth reaching out to the Mitsubishi technical team. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation which can be a lifesaver.
