Product Introduction
When your factory automation system demands a reliable programmable controller with flexible I/O configuration, the Mitsubishi FX2N-128MR-001 delivers a robust solution. This relay output module is part of the FX2N series, designed to control up to 128 points with a DC24V power supply. It provides maximum flexibility and control capability for a wide range of industrial applications, from simple machine control to complex process automation.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Understanding the key specifications helps you evaluate if this module fits your application. The FX2N-128MR-001 offers 64 input points and 64 output points, all relay type, for a total of 128 I/O points. It operates on a DC24V power supply and consumes 100VA. The unit weighs 1.8 kg and measures 350x90x87 mm (WxHxD). These parameters define its physical footprint and electrical requirements, making it suitable for control cabinets with moderate space.
Industry Applications
This PLC module excels in applications requiring numerous discrete I/O points. For example, in packaging machinery, the 64 relay outputs can directly drive solenoids, motors, and indicators, while the 64 inputs handle sensor feedback. In material handling systems, the FX2N-128MR-001 coordinates conveyor belts, sorters, and safety interlocks. Its relay output type is ideal for switching higher currents or AC loads, common in industrial environments.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the FX2N-128MR-001 on a DIN rail or panel using the provided slots. Ensure the DC24V power supply is stable and within specification. Connect input devices (sensors, switches) to the input terminals and output loads (relays, contactors) to the relay output terminals. Use the quick-disconnect terminal blocks for easy wiring and maintenance. Verify all connections before powering up.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regular inspection of the terminal connections and power supply voltage ensures long-term reliability. The relay outputs have a finite mechanical life; monitor switching frequency and replace the module if contact wear is suspected. Keep the enclosure clean and free from dust to prevent overheating. Following these practices maximizes uptime and extends service life.
Compatibility & Integration
The FX2N-128MR-001 integrates seamlessly with other FX2N series expansion modules and special function modules. It supports RS-422 communication via a function extension board. The built-in 8K RAM memory (expandable to 16K) and fast CPU processing speed of 0.08 µs per basic instruction enable efficient program execution. This module is compatible with Mitsubishi programming software for easy configuration.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, confirm that your application requires 128 I/O points with relay outputs and a DC24V supply. Verify the physical dimensions fit your enclosure.
