Integrating high-performance control and built-in industrial connectivity, the Mitsubishi Electric FX5U-64MT/ESS serves as a cornerstone processing unit within the MELSEC iQ-F compact PLC range. This controller delivers high-speed processing and robust capacity designed to handle complex automation sequences. Equipped with 32 digital inputs (24 V DC, sink/source) and 32 digital outputs (transistor, source), it provides an exceptional physical I/O density within a compact footprint. Users benefit from embedded Ethernet, RS-485 serial communication, and integrated analog I/O, minimizing the necessity for auxiliary expansion modules in mid-scale industrial systems.
| Parameter | Value / Specification |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Mitsubishi Electric |
| Model Number | FX5U-64MT/ESS |
| Product Series | MELSEC iQ-F Series (FX5U) |
| Input Points | 32 Points |
| Input Type | 24 V DC (Sink / Source) |
| Output Points | 32 Points |
| Output Type | Transistor (Source) |
| Supply Voltage | 100 to 240 V AC (+10% / -15%), 50/60 Hz |
| Power Consumption | 45 W |
| Program Memory | 64k Steps (Flash Memory) |
| Built-in Communication | Ethernet (1 Port), RS-485 (1 Port) |
| Built-in Analog Inputs | 2 Channels (0 to 10 V DC) |
| Built-in Analog Output | 1 Channel (0 to 10 V DC) |
| Operating Temperature | -20 to 55 degC (non-freezing) |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 1.00 kg |
| Package Dimensions (Calculated) | 150 mm x 110 mm x 95 mm |
| Terminal Block Section | Signal Assignment / Function |
|---|---|
| Power Terminals | L (Line), N (Neutral), Protective Earth (Ground) |
| Digital Inputs (X0 - X37) | S/S Terminal determines Sink or Source configuration. 24 V DC excitation. |
| Digital Outputs (Y0 - Y37) | +V (External Power Supply Input), COM (Common negative path for source outputs) |
| Built-in Analog Input | V1+, V2+, V- (Common ground for both channels) |
| Built-in Analog Output | V+, V- (Voltage output channel) |
The FX5U-64MT/ESS acts as a modern upgrade path for legacy FX3U-64MT/ESS installations. While mounting footprints and programming software (transitioning from GX Works2 to GX Works3) differ, physical conversion brackets and the GX Works3 translation utility minimize migration effort. Ensure you verify output polarity: the /ESS model features source transistor outputs, unlike the /ES version which features sink transistor outputs.
When switching inductive loads such as DC solenoid valves or relays using the transistor outputs, always install an external surge protection diode across the load. Overloading a transistor output terminal past 0.5 A can cause internal hardware damage. Note that the built-in analog inputs/outputs are non-isolated; using external signal isolators is highly recommended if cable runs extend outside the local control cabinet.
The built-in RS-485 communication line utilizes a 3-pin spring-clamp terminal. Always enable the terminating resistor (built-in, switch-selectable) at both physical ends of the RS-485 network segment to prevent signal reflections. Ensure that the SG (Signal Ground) line is properly linked across all nodes to stabilize common-mode voltages.
