Product Overview
When you need a reliable and compact programmable logic controller for small-scale automation, the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 delivers. This FX2N series main unit integrates a CPU, power supply, and I/O in a single package. With 64 total I/O channels and transistor outputs, it handles discrete control tasks efficiently. The unit operates on a DC24V power supply and consumes only 21W, making it energy-efficient for continuous industrial use.
Technical Specifications
The FX2N-64MT-001 offers a balanced I/O configuration: 14 input points and 10 output points, totaling 24 points per unit. The output type is transistor (drain), suitable for high-speed switching applications. Power consumption is rated at 21W, and the unit weighs just 0.55KG. Its compact outline dimensions are 90x90x86mm, allowing easy integration into tight control panels. The PLC type is FX2N, and the unit type is MPU (main processing unit).
Industry Applications
This controller suits a wide variety of applications, from packaging machines to material handling systems. For example, in a small conveyor line, the FX2N-64MT-001 can manage start/stop logic, sensor inputs, and actuator outputs with its transistor outputs providing fast response. Its compact size and low power consumption make it ideal for standalone machines or as part of a distributed control network.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the FX2N-64MT-001 securely on a DIN rail or panel using its 90x90x86mm footprint. Connect a stable DC24V power supply to the designated terminals. Wire input devices (sensors, switches) to the 14 input points and output devices (solenoids, indicators) to the 10 transistor output points. Ensure proper grounding and follow Mitsubishi wiring guidelines for noise immunity. The built-in CPU and power supply simplify installation — no additional modules are required for basic operation.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection of the power supply voltage and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) helps maintain reliable operation. The transistor outputs have no moving parts, reducing wear compared to relay outputs. Periodically check terminal connections for tightness and cleanliness. With a weight of only 0.55KG, the unit is easy to handle during maintenance. Following the manufacturer's recommended inspection intervals will extend service life.
Compatibility & Integration
The FX2N-64MT-001 is part of the Mitsubishi FX2N family, allowing integration with FX2N expansion modules and special function units. It can communicate via the FX2N programming port and supports the FX2N series instruction set. For larger systems, use CC-Link remote I/O to expand control up to 256 points. The unit is compatible with Mitsubishi GX Developer software for programming and diagnostics.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, verify your application requires transistor (drain) outputs and DC24V power. The FX2N-64MT-001 is a main unit, so no separate power supply or CPU module is needed. For additional I/O, select compatible FX2N expansion modules. SpareTechPLC stocks this model and can assist with availability and replacement options.
