Introduction
When a production line requires precise control over multiple actuators and sensors, the Mitsubishi FX2N-80MT-001 delivers a robust solution. This programmable controller from the FX2N series handles up to 80 input/output points, making it suitable for medium-scale automation tasks. Its transistor output type ensures fast switching for applications like positioning and high-speed counting.
Technical Specifications
The FX2N-80MT-001 operates on a supply voltage of 100-240VAC and consumes 70VA of power. It features 40 input points and 40 output points, all transistor-based (drain type). The unit measures 285x90x87 mm and weighs 1.2 kg. Built-in memory includes 8K steps of RAM, expandable to 16K. The CPU processes basic instructions in 0.08 microseconds. For positioning, the transistor output version supports two independent axes with a maximum frequency of 20 kHz.
Industry Applications
In packaging machinery, the FX2N-80MT-001 coordinates conveyor belts, sensors, and actuators with its 80 I/O points. The transistor outputs enable rapid on/off cycles for solenoid valves and indicator lights. Another application is in material handling systems, where the controller manages multiple pick-and-place stations. The built-in 20 kHz positioning function allows precise movement control for linear actuators.
Installation and Setup
Mount the FX2N-80MT-001 on a DIN rail inside an enclosure. Connect the 100-240VAC supply to the designated terminals. Wire input devices (sensors, switches) to the 40 input points using drain/source configuration. Connect output loads (relays, motors) to the 40 transistor output points. Use the quick-disconnect terminal blocks for easy maintenance. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to dissipate heat.
Maintenance and Reliability
Periodically inspect the terminal connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Keep the enclosure clean and free from dust. The FX2N-80MT-001 is designed for long-term operation in industrial environments. Verify that the ambient temperature stays within the specified range. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for routine checks. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and extends service life.
Compatibility and Integration
The FX2N-80MT-001 integrates with expansion modules and special function modules via the right-side connector. It supports CC-Link remote I/O for up to 384 points when using network communication. The controller also works with FX2N series expansion boards and adapters. For programming, use the built-in 8K RAM memory. The unit is compatible with Mitsubishi programming software.
Selection Guide
Before purchasing the FX2N-80MT-001, confirm your I/O requirements: 40 inputs and 40 outputs. Verify the supply voltage (100-240VAC) matches your facility. Consider the transistor output type for high-speed applications. For expanded systems, plan for additional power supply capacity (DC5V: 1100mA, DC24V: 600mA). SpareTechPLC offers this model with reliable availability and support.
