Mitsubishi FX3SA-14MT-CM Third Generation Micro Programmable Controller

Product Overview

When small-scale automation demands reliable control, the Mitsubishi FX3SA-14MT-CM third generation micro programmable controller delivers. This compact PLC from Mitsubishi Electric offers 14 input and output points, making it a perfect fit for applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. With an AC100-240V power supply and transistor output (drain), the FX3SA-14MT-CM handles basic control tasks efficiently.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The FX3SA-14MT-CM provides 8 input points and 6 output points, all in a transistor output (drain) configuration. Power consumption is just 19W, and the unit weighs only 0.3 kg. Its outline dimensions of 60x90x75 mm allow installation in tight panels. The PLC operates on AC100-240V, making it compatible with standard industrial power supplies worldwide.

Industry Applications

The transistor output provides fast switching for high-speed applications like labeling or sorting.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the FX3SA-14MT-CM on a DIN rail or directly to a panel using the provided mounting holes. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within the operating range (not specified, but typical for similar units). Connect the AC power supply to the designated terminals, and wire inputs according to the sink/source configuration. Use shielded cables for communication lines to minimize noise.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the power supply and I/O connections ensures long-term reliability. The solid-state transistor outputs have no moving parts, reducing wear. Keep the enclosure clean and free of dust. The FX3SA-14MT-CM is designed for continuous operation in industrial environments, with a robust construction that withstands vibration and temperature variations.

Compatibility & Integration

The FX3SA-14MT-CM is part of the Mitsubishi FX3S series, compatible with expansion modules and special adapters. It supports MODBUS and Ethernet communication when paired with appropriate modules, enabling integration into larger networks. The controller can also interface with Mitsubishi HMIs and drives for comprehensive system control.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing, verify that the I/O count and output type match your application. The FX3SA-14MT-CM is a transistor drain output model, suitable for DC loads. For AC loads, consider a relay output version. AutoDCSTech offers this model with fast shipping and expert support to ensure you get the right part for your system.
