Mitsubishi FX2N-80MT-001 PLC 80 I/O Transistor

FX2N-80MT-001 Mitsubishi PLC 40 Transistor Outputs

Product Introduction

The FX2N-80MT-001 from Mitsubishi Electric offers reliable control for mid-sized automation systems. This PLC belongs to the popular FX2N series. It supports a maximum of 80 input/output points. Specifically, it provides 40 inputs and 40 transistor outputs. The supply voltage ranges from 100V to 240V AC, making it suitable for global use. Its CPU processes basic instructions in just 0.08µs. Built-in RAM holds 8K steps, expandable to 16K. Therefore, this model works well for high-speed positioning, packaging machines, and assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between FX2N-80MT-001 and FX2N-80MR-001?
The FX2N-80MT-001 uses transistor outputs for high-speed switching (0.2ms response). The MR version uses relays for slower, high-current loads. Choose transistor outputs for positioning and PWM applications.

2. Can I expand the I/O beyond 80 points on this model?
Yes. The FX2N-80MT-001 supports expansion modules on its right side. Maximum total I/O reaches 256 points when you add expansion units. For CC-Link remote I/O, you can go up to 384 points.

3. Does this PLC support 2-axis positioning without an extra module?
Absolutely. The FX2N-80MT-001 has built-in 2 independent axes with 20kHz max output frequency. This feature works only on transistor output models. Use the DRVI and DRVA instructions for positioning.

4. What programming software is compatible with FX2N-80MT-001?
Use GX Works2 (version 1.77 or higher) or GX Developer (version 8.0 or higher). Both fully support all FX2N instructions including positioning and communication commands.

5. How do I connect a programming cable to this PLC?
Use an RS-422 to USB adapter like the SC-09 or USB-SC09-FX. Plug it into the 8-pin mini-DIN programming port on the FX2N-80MT-001. No external power is needed for the adapter.
