Expert Review

“The FX2N-128MT-001 is a powerhouse for motion control. With 64 transistor outputs and built-in 2-axis 20 kHz positioning, it handles multi-axis machines with ease. The 0.08 µs instruction speed keeps cycles short. For high-speed packaging, pick-and-place, or labeling machines, this PLC delivers reliable performance.” — Senior Automation Engineer

Manager’s Insight

“This model offers the best of both worlds: 128 built-in I/O and CC-Link expansion up to 384 points. The transistor outputs support fast switching – perfect for servo drives and solenoid valves. We stock this unit because it fits many mid-to-large automation projects. A solid choice for machine builders.” — Product Operations Manager

Applications & Suitable Equipment

• Pick-and-place machines – high-speed positioning
• Packaging lines – fillers, sealers, carton erectors
• Assembly stations – screwdriving, pressing, testing
• Textile machinery – looms, winding equipment
• Printing & converting machines
• Conveyor systems – sorting, merging, indexing
• Works with servo drives, stepper motors, sensors, HMIs, VFDs
• Add analog modules for temperature, pressure, or flow control

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the FX2N-128MT-001 support positioning without extra modules?
  • Yes. This model has built-in 2-axis independent 20 kHz positioning. No extra module needed. Use transistor outputs to control stepper or servo drives.
• What power supply does this unit require?
  • It runs on 24V DC. Not AC. Make sure your panel provides stable 24V DC power. Power consumption is 100 VA.
• How many I/O points can I control with CC-Link?
  • Local I/O max is 256 points. With CC-Link remote I/O, total can reach 384 points. Great for large systems.
• What battery does this unit use?
  • Use FX2N-32BL lithium battery. It keeps RAM and real-time clock during power loss. Replace every 3–5 years.
• Can I connect FX3 series analog adapters?
  • Yes. Use a conversion adapter to connect FX3 series analog input/output. Supports 0–10V or 4–20mA signals.

Experience-Based Tips & Selection Guide

• Need fast output switching?
  • Transistor outputs switch much faster than relays. Perfect for PWM, positioning pulses, and high-cycle applications.
• Plan memory usage
  • Built-in 8K steps RAM. Expand to 16K with memory cartridge. Use EEPROM cartridge for program backup.
• Keep a spare battery
  • Battery failure causes program loss. Replace yearly. Use genuine Mitsubishi FX2N-32BL.
• Use quick‑disconnect for fast swap
  • The terminal block removes without unwiring. Great for emergency replacement.
• When to choose this model
  • Choose FX2N-128MT-001 when you need 64 transistor outputs, built-in positioning, and 128 I/O in one unit. Ideal for motion control applications.

How to Choose the Right PLC – Quick Guide

• Count your I/O
  • FX2N-128MT-001 gives 64 inputs + 64 outputs. For larger systems, add CC-Link remote I/O up to 384 points.
• Check output type
  • Transistor outputs (MT) are for fast DC switching, positioning, and high-cycle operations. Use relay outputs (MR) for mixed AC/DC loads.
• Think about speed
  • Basic instruction speed is 0.08 µs. Built-in 20 kHz positioning handles high-speed motion without extra modules.
• Consider expansion needs
  • Add analog, temperature, or communication modules as needed. FX2N series offers wide module selection.
