Introduction
When a small packaging machine requires precise control without overcomplicating the design, the Mitsubishi FX1S-30MR-001 Compact PLC delivers a reliable solution. This model, part of the FX1S series, is built for applications with limited I/O needs, offering up to 30 total points in a compact footprint. With a master station configuration and support for up to 16 stations, it integrates seamlessly into distributed control systems.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The FX1S-30MR-001 operates on an AC220V power supply and features 16 input points and 14 output points, all relay type. The total I/O count is 30 points, making it suitable for small-scale machinery. Data transfer occurs at 10 Mbps, with 8 occupied points per station. The unit weighs only 0.3 kg, simplifying installation in tight spaces. Outline dimensions are 1007590 mm, ensuring a small panel footprint.
Industry Applications
In conveyor belt control for light assembly lines, the FX1S-30MR-001 manages start/stop sequences and safety interlocks using its relay outputs. Another common use is in small packaging machines where the 16 inputs handle sensor feedback from limit switches and photocyes, while the 14 outputs drive actuators. The master station capability allows connection to a CC-Link network for centralized monitoring.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the FX1S-30MR-001 on a DIN rail or directly on a panel using the provided slots. Connect the AC220V power supply to the designated terminals, ensuring proper grounding. Wire input devices (e.g., pushbuttons, sensors) to the input terminals, and output loads (e.g., relays, contactors) to the relay output terminals. Use shielded cable for serial communication to maintain signal integrity at 10 Mbps. Configure station number and transfer speed via the programming software before commissioning.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the PLC for dust accumulation on the ventilation slots and clean with a dry cloth. Verify that all terminal screws remain tight to prevent loose connections. The relay outputs have a mechanical life; monitor for increased switching times and replace the unit if performance degrades. The compact design reduces stress on internal components, contributing to long service life in clean, dry environments.
Compatibility & Integration
This PLC operates as a master station on a CC-Link network, supporting up to 16 slave stations. It is compatible with Mitsubishi GX Works2 programming software for ladder logic development. The serial communication port enables data exchange with HMIs or other controllers. For expansion, analog input boards (2-channel) can be installed, but verify compatibility with the FX1S series.
Buying Guide
Before purchasing the FX1S-30MR-001, confirm your power supply is AC220V and your I/O count does not exceed 30 points. SpareTechPLC stocks this model and can advise on availability and alternative options if needed. Always verify the current lifecycle status with our team, as this series may be subject to phase-out.
