The FX3GA-60MR-CM belongs to the well-known MELSEC-F series. Mitsubishi Electric built this model for stable and precise control. You can use it in small to medium automation systems. It handles logic, timing, counting, and basic network communications. Many engineers choose this PLC for its balance of cost and performance.
This PLC runs on a rated voltage of AC100 to 240V. The permissible voltage range is wider at AC85 to 264V. Its rated frequency covers both 50Hz and 60Hz. Therefore, it works globally without adjustments.
The power failure time is very short. If the interruption stays below 10ms, the FX3GA-60MR-CM continues normal operation. Additionally, the power fuse is rated 250V 3.15A. This protects the internal circuits effectively.
Inrush current reaches 30A maximum for 5ms or less at AC100V. At AC200V, it goes up to 50A within the same short period. Moreover, total power consumption is only 40W. This keeps energy costs low. The supply power capacity equals 400mA for external loads.
Width is 175mm, and width including mounting holes is 167mm. The unit weighs just 0.85 kg. Its compact size saves panel space. You can mount it on a standard DIN rail or directly with screws.
For installation, keep the ambient temperature between 0°C and 55°C. Avoid condensation and corrosive gases. Furthermore, leave at least 50mm of free space around the unit for ventilation. This ensures reliable long-term operation.
First, disconnect all power before installation. Next, mount the FX3GA-60MR-CM securely to prevent vibration. Then, wire the AC power terminals correctly: L for live and N for neutral. The ground terminal must connect to a proper earth ground.
Use copper wires only, with a cross-section of 0.75 to 2mm². Tighten terminal screws to 0.5 to 0.8 Nm. For I/O wiring, separate high-voltage and low-voltage cables. This reduces electrical noise interference.
Finally, after wiring, check all connections. Apply power and verify the PWR LED turns green. The Mitsubishi FX3GA-60MR-CM is now ready for programming via its built-in port.
This PLC works well in conveyor control, packaging machines, and small assembly lines. It also fits HVAC systems, water treatment panels, and simple robotics. Because it supports basic network communications, you can connect it to HMI or SCADA systems. For instance, many factories use it for data logging and remote monitoring. Therefore, the FX3GA-60MR-CM bridges automation and information systems effectively.
Mitsubishi Electric designed the MELSEC-F series for ease of use. The FX3GA-60MR-CM offers relay outputs (MR type). This means it can directly drive small motors, solenoids, and contactors. Its built-in power supply reduces the need for external power modules. Additionally, programming is simple with GX Works2 or GX Developer software. You can reuse existing MELSEC-F programs with minimal changes.

1. Can the FX3GA-60MR-CM communicate with a touch screen HMI?
Yes. This PLC supports RS422 and basic network protocols. You can connect it to most Mitsubishi and third-party HMIs directly.
2. What is the difference between FX3GA and FX3G series?
The FX3GA-60MR-CM is a cost-optimized version for Asian markets. It retains core functions but has fewer expansion options. The FX3G offers more flexibility but at a higher price.
3. How many I/O points does this model have in total?
It has 60 I/Os. Specifically, 36 inputs and 24 relay outputs. All inputs are 24V DC sinking/sourcing. Outputs are rated at 2A per point.
4. Do I need an external 24V power supply for the inputs?
No. The FX3GA-60MR-CM provides a built-in 24V DC output (400mA). You can power sensors or other small devices directly from this source.
5. Can I use this PLC in a high-vibration environment?
Yes, but within limits. Mount it firmly on a DIN rail or with screws. The unit withstands 5g vibration from 10 to 57Hz. For extreme vibration, add anti-vibration mounts.
