Introduction
When a small-scale automation project demands precise high-speed output control, the Mitsubishi FX1S-10MT-001 delivers a reliable solution. This compact PLC from the FX1S series integrates 6 input points and 4 transistor sink outputs in a single unit, making it ideal for applications like packaging machines, conveyor systems, and simple assembly lines.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The FX1S-10MT-001 operates on a rated voltage of AC 100 to 240 V with a tolerance range of AC 85 to 264 V and a rated frequency of 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is 19 W, and it provides a 24 VDC service power supply of 400 mA. The input section features 6 points with sink format, DC 24 V ± 10% signal voltage, and input impedance of 3.3 kΩ for X000 to X007. Input ON sensitivity current is 4.5 mA or more, and OFF sensitivity is 1.5 mA or less. The output section uses transistor/sink output type with an external power supply of DC 5 to 30 V. Maximum resistive load is 0.5 A or less per output and 0.8 A or less per COM terminal. Response time for Y000 and Y001 is 5 μs or less for both OFF→ON and ON→OFF transitions.
Industry Applications
In a typical pick-and-place station, the FX1S-10MT-001 controls up to 4 solenoid valves or small actuators via its transistor outputs. The built-in high-speed counter function (1 phase 1 count input up to 60 kHz) enables precise position feedback from incremental encoders. For example, a conveyor indexing system can use the 100 kHz pulse output for stepper motor control, achieving accurate positioning without an external motion controller.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the FX1S-10MT-001 on a DIN rail or directly using the provided slots. Connect the AC power supply to the rated terminals, ensuring the voltage stays within AC 85 to 264 V. Use M3 screw terminals for inputs and outputs. For grounding, follow Class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100 Ω or less). The ambient operating temperature range is 0 to 55 °C, and relative humidity should be 35 to 85% RH (noncondensing).
Maintenance & Reliability
The FX1S-10MT-001 uses EEPROM memory for program storage, eliminating the need for battery backup. To ensure reliable data retention, energize the sequencer for at least 5 consecutive minutes. Regular inspection of terminal connections and ambient conditions helps maintain long service life. The unit withstands vibration per IEC 61131-2 and has noise immunity of 1000 Vp-p.
Compatibility & Integration
This PLC is part of the FX1S series and can be programmed using GX Developer software (FX code stock no. 399-7807). It supports up to 2000 steps of program memory and includes 27 basic sequence instructions and 85 application instructions. For expanded memory, the FX1N-EEPROM-8L cassette (8000 steps) can be used, though the FX1S only utilizes 2000 steps.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering the FX1S-10MT-001, verify that your application requires 6 inputs and 4 transistor outputs. The transistor output type is suitable for high-speed switching of DC loads up to 30 V.
