Product features

The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is a high-quality 16-point transistor source output expansion module manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric. The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is compatible with the following Mitsubishi PLC models: FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, FX3U, FX1NC, FX2NC, FX3GC, and FX3UC. When connecting it to FX1NC or FX2NC PLCs, you'll require an FX2NC-CNV-IF. For FX3GC or FX3UC PLCs, use either the FX2NC-CNV-IF or the FX3UC-1PS-5V adapters. This interoperability makes the Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL a versatile extension module that can be easily integrated into a variety of PLC systems.

This module features 16 transistor source outputs, each capable of handling a maximum current of 0.5A. Every four output points share a common terminal (COM), which uses optical coupler insulation for safe and reliable functioning. The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL features LED indications on the panel, allowing you to quickly monitor the output status. It works with an external power supply ranging from 5V DC to 30V DC, with a suggested voltage of 24V DC, which is commonly used in industrial settings. The FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL has a maximum load power of 12W at 24V DC (resistive load), with an open-circuit leakage current of under 0.1mA at 30V DC, indicating good electrical performance.

The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is designed to withstand tough industrial conditions. It can work normally at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 55°C and be kept at -25°C to 75°C. It can operate in humidity ranges of 5% to 95% without condensation. This module is also very resistant to vibration, impact, and noise. It can withstand up to 147m/s² acceleration, 11ms impact, and 1000Vp-p noise. Furthermore, the Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL has received UL, cUL, CE (EMC), CE (RoHS), KC (EMC), and other international certifications, as well as approvals from ABS, DNV, LR, and other organizations, demonstrating its high quality and dependability.

Application scenarios

One of the most typical applications for the Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is to expand the digital output of tiny PLC systems. Many small workshops and production lines employ Mitsubishi PLC models such as the FX1N, FX2N, and FX3G, which may have limited built-in output terminals. The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL can simply increase the number of output points by 16, allowing the PLC system to control more external devices such indication lights, tiny motors, and solenoid valves. Its modest size and DIN rail installation style conserve room in the control cabinet, making it perfect for small-scale control systems that require limited installation space.

The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is also commonly used in automatic production lines such as assembly lines, conveyor lines, and sorting lines in the electrical, mechanical, and food processing industries. In these production lines, the module is in charge of controlling the on and off of several executive components: it can start and stop the conveyor belt, manage the activity of sorting cylinders, and activate counting sensors. The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL has a fast response time (≤0.2ms) and reliable output performance, ensuring smooth production line operation, reducing equipment failures, and improving efficiency.

FAQ

Q: What is the MITSUBISHI FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL?

A: The Mitsubishi FX2N-16EYT-ESS/UL is a 16-point transistor output module for the FX2N series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The FX2N expansion module connects the PLC to external devices such as relays, solenoids, indicators, and tiny motors. The "T" signifies a transistor output, "ESS" implies a sink-type wire configuration, and "UL" shows that Underwriters Laboratories has certified it for safety standards, making it acceptable for a wide range of industrial automation applications.

Q: What is the difference between "ESS" (Sink) and "ES" (Source) output modules?

A: This is an important wiring factor for FX2N outputs. The FX2N-16EYT-ESS is a sink output module. In this design, current travels from the load device to the module's output terminal to complete the circuit. In contrast, a source output module (ES) has current flowing out of its terminal to the load. Your choice is determined by the wiring convention of your current system and the sort of sensors/input devices used. Before deciding whether to use sink or source FX2N modules, double-check your system's wiring.
