Product features

Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) from Mitsubishi's MELSEC-F FX2N family. Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 contains 64 I/O points, comprising 32 inputs and 32 outputs. The input points are DC 24V sinking type, with a response time of approximately 10ms, and can be conveniently coupled to sensors such as photoelectric switches and proximity switches. The Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has an NPN sinking transistor output, which is ideal for high-frequency switching operations due to the lack of mechanical contacts and less wear. It only supports DC 24V loads, with a maximum current of 0.5A per output point and a total load current of no more than 8A, allowing it to power small relays and servo driver signal terminals.

The Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has an AC 100~240V power supply that is compatible with power supplies in various nations and regions, allowing for greater flexibility in operation. It has 8000 steps of built-in RAM, which may be increased to 16000 steps via a storage box if necessary. The Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 processor contains 27 basic instructions and 132 application instructions, with a basic instruction execution speed of 0.08μs per step, suitable for most control applications. It also includes 256 timers, 256 counters, and 2048 data registers, allowing for simple arithmetic and logic control.

Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has good expandability and can be attached to any FX2N series extension module, with a maximum extendable I/O point of 256. It comes with an RS-422 programming interface as standard, and you may add a communication card to handle MODBUS and other protocols, allowing data exchange with frequency converters and upper computers. Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has a flexible installation technique and can be put on DIN rails or panels. Its size is approximately 220×90×86mm and weighs around 1.0kg, making it easy to install in limited space.

Precautions

First and foremost, keep in mind that the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has a transistor output that only supports DC 24V loads and cannot directly drive AC loads. If you want to control AC equipment using the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001, you must connect an AC contactor or solid state relay (SSR) externally to avoid harming the PLC. Furthermore, the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has a maximum current per output point of 0.5A and a total load current limit of 8A. When using the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 to drive high-current DC loads, utilize an external relay to protect the PLC's output terminals.

Second, it's crucial to note that the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 has been discontinued, and the official successor model is the Mitsubishi FX3U-64MT/ES-A. The replacement model performs better, has a larger program capacity, and has more expansion features than the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001. If you need to replace the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 for new equipment installation, consider the FX3U-64MT/ES-A model. However, Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 is still commonly used in old equipment maintenance, and its supplies are readily available, so you can continue to use it for daily maintenance of existing equipment.

FAQ

Q: How do I program the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001? Can I use modern software?

A: The FX2N-64MT-001 was programmed with Mitsubishi GX Developer or the previous FX-PCS/WIN-E software. While GX Developer is still available on newer Windows PCs (often requiring compatibility mode), Mitsubishi's current unified software platform is GX Works2 and GX Works. 3. GX Works2 has a migration tool that can convert FX2N projects, allowing you to preserve and edit historical programs in a more modern environment-essential for PLC programming and maintenance.

Q: Is the Mitsubishi FX2N-64MT-001 still being produced or sold as new?

A: No. Mitsubishi Electric has officially terminated the complete Mitsubishi FX2N PLC line. It's no longer in production. Any new units for sale are likely New Old Stock (NOS) from the distributor's residual inventory. The principal market for this device is currently refurbished or used PLCs, which are utilized for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) on existing, legacy machinery.
