What Is the Mitsubishi FX1N-60MT-001?
When your production line demands precise control and reliable sequencing, does your current controller deliver? The Mitsubishi FX1N-60MT-001 is a programmable controller from the FX1N series, designed for stored program repeat operation with interrupt capability. It uses a relay symbol system plus step ladder programming language (SFC representation allowed) and supports up to 8000 steps of program memory with built-in EEPROM.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The FX1N-60MT-001 offers 36 input points (sink format, DC24V ±10%) and 24 transistor/sink output points (DC5~30V external supply). Input response time is approximately 10ms, with X000~X007 featuring a built-in digital filter adjustable via D8020. Output response time for Y000 and Y001 is 5µs or less; for Y002 and later, 0.2ms or less. The controller includes a built-in high-speed counter function: 1-phase 1-count input up to 60kHz (two points) and 2-phase 2-count input up to 30kHz (one point). It also supports independent 2-axis positioning with a maximum frequency of 100kHz.
Industry Applications
In packaging machinery, the FX1N-60MT-001 handles precise timing and counting tasks using its 16-bit up counters (C0~C15) and high-speed counter inputs. For conveyor systems, the built-in positioning instructions (relative positioning DRVI, absolute positioning DRVA) enable accurate motion control. The controller's 89 application instructions support complex automation sequences in assembly lines.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the FX1N-60MT-001 on a DIN rail or directly using screws. Ensure ambient temperature stays between 0°C and 55°C during operation (storage: -20°C to 70°C). Relative humidity should be 35~85% RH (non-condensing). Use a dedicated ground with ground resistance of 100Ω or less. For initial use or after long power-off periods, initialize the capacitor keep devices to maintain proper operation.
Maintenance & Reliability
The FX1N-60MT-001 uses a large-capacity capacitor for clock backup (holds 10 days after 30-minute charge). For EEPROM keep areas, ensure the sequencer is energized for at least five consecutive minutes to reliably retain data. Periodically inspect the power fuse (250V 3.15A) and verify input/output operation via LED indicators. Avoid environments with corrosive or flammable gases and conductive dust.
Compatibility & Integration
This controller works with FX1N series expansion units and memory cassettes (FX1N-EEPROM-8L for 8000-step EEPROM). It supports remote I/O points (CC-Link) up to 128 points total. The built-in 24V DC service power supply provides 400mA for external devices. Programming uses the relay symbol system with step ladder instructions.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify that your application requires 36 inputs and 24 transistor outputs with sink output type. Confirm power supply compatibility: rated voltage AC100~240V (allowable range AC85~264V). The FX1N-60MT-001 includes a real-time clock (1980~2079) and password protection.
