Expert Review

“The FX2N-64MR-001 remains a trusted workhorse in automation. With 0.08 µs instruction speed and 64 built‑in I/O, it handles mid‑size machines easily. Relay outputs simplify wiring for mixed AC/DC loads. The quick‑disconnect terminal block is a real time‑saver during maintenance. For reliable, long‑term control, this unit delivers.” — Senior Controls Engineer

Manager’s Insight

“From a supply chain view, the FX2N series offers unmatched flexibility. You can start with this 64‑point main unit and expand as your line grows. The wide power range (100–240V AC) works globally. We stock this model because it fits many retrofit projects. It is a smart investment for standard machine control.” — Product Operations Manager

Applications & Suitable Equipment

• Packaging lines – fillers, sealers, labeling machines
• Conveyor systems – sorting, merging, diverting
• Textile machinery – looms, winding equipment
• Assembly stations – screwdriving, pressing, testing
• HVAC control panels – air handlers, chillers
• Works with sensors, relays, contactors, HMIs, VFDs
• Add analog modules for temperature or pressure control

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the FX2N-64MR-001 control AC motors directly?
  • No. Relay outputs switch contactors or starters. Use an external magnetic contactor for motor control. Outputs handle up to 2A per point (resistive load).
• What battery does this unit use for memory backup?
  • It uses FX2N-32BL lithium battery. Battery keeps RAM data and real-time clock when power is off. Change battery every 3–5 years.
• How many expansion modules can I add?
  • You can connect up to 8 expansion units on the right side. Total I/O expands from 64 to max 256 points. Special modules like analog also count toward the limit.
• Is the FX2N-64MR-001 still supported by current software?
  • Yes. GX Works2 fully supports FX2N series. GX Developer also works. New projects can be created easily.
• Does this model have built‑in positioning functions?
  • No. The relay output version (MR) does not have positioning. Choose FX2N-64MT (transistor output) if you need 2‑axis 20 kHz positioning.

Experience-Based Tips & Selection Guide

• Need to switch AC and DC loads?
  • Relay outputs handle both. Perfect for mixing solenoids, lamps, and small motors. No need for extra interposing relays.
• Plan for future expansion
  • Start with FX2N-64MR-001 as main unit. Add input/output modules later. Check total power consumption from the 5V bus to avoid overload.
• Keep a spare battery
  • Battery failure causes program loss. Replace battery during yearly maintenance. Use genuine Mitsubishi FX2N-32BL.
• Wiring relay outputs
  • Use flyback diodes for inductive loads. This protects relay contacts and extends life.
• Quick‑disconnect advantage
  • The terminal block can be removed without unplugging wires. Great for fast panel swap during breakdowns.
• When to choose this model
  • Ideal when you need 32 inputs + 32 relay outputs in one compact unit. Use for machines with many start/stop signals and simple actuators.

How to Choose the Right PLC – Quick Guide

• Count your I/O
  • FX2N-64MR-001 gives 32 inputs + 32 outputs. If you have less than 64 points, this fits well. Expand if needed.
• Check output load type
  • Relay outputs (MR) suit mixed AC/DC loads. Transistor outputs (MT) are for fast DC switching and positioning.
• Think about speed
  • Basic instruction speed is 0.08 µs. Fast enough for most mid‑size applications. For high‑speed counting, add special module.
• Budget vs flexibility
  • FX2N series offers great value. Modules are widely available. This model is a safe choice for standard automation tasks.
