Mitsubishi Electric FX2N-64MT-ES/UL FX2N Series Programmable Logic Controller

Description

Engineered for high-performance industrial automation, the FX2N-64MT-ES/UL main unit serves as a core processing controller within the Mitsubishi Electric FX2N micro PLC family. This unit integrates 32 digital inputs and 32 transistor outputs, offering an on-board I/O configuration of 64 points that can be expanded up to 256 local and networked I/O points. Operating on a wide-range AC power supply, it features highly efficient processing speeds of 0.08 microseconds per basic instruction, a built-in real-time clock, and multi-axis pulse output capabilities for precise positioning applications.

Equipped with an 8,000-step built-in RAM backed by a lithium battery, the memory capacity can be scaled up to 16,000 steps via optional memory cassettes. The hardware layout incorporates removable M3 screw terminal blocks, allowing for straightforward field wiring and rapid module replacement during maintenance cycles. Designed to meet global safety standards, the "ES/UL" designation signifies compliance with European and North American industrial specifications.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the unit securely onto a standard 35mm DIN rail or utilize direct screw mounting in an enclosed control cabinet.
• Orientation: Maintain a vertical mounting orientation to facilitate optimum natural convection cooling across the internal heatsinks.
• Clearance: Ensure a minimum of 50mm of free space above, below, and to the sides of the controller unit for ventilation and cable routing.
• Grounding: Connect the ground terminal directly to a low-impedance functional ground system using a dedicated wire of 2 mm² or larger.
• Wiring: Isolate all AC power supply and high-voltage signal lines from DC input/output signals to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Compliance and Certifications

• UL Listed (US and Canadian standards)
• CE Mark (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and Low Voltage Directive)
