Mitsubishi FX2N-8EYT - Programmable Logic Controller

Engineered by Mitsubishi Electric, the FX2N-8EYT PLC delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial settings where output timing and signal clarity are critical. This 8-point transistor output module operates with SINK output logic, making it well-suited for DC-powered control applications requiring precise switching of external loads. With a nominal output current of 2.4 A at 4 kHz and switching frequency support from 2 to 16 kHz, it ensures stable signal processing even in dynamic operations such as robotics or fast-paced production lines.

The unit supports a DC input voltage range of 5–30V and is built to operate efficiently at 50/60 Hz ±5% supply frequency. Designed for cabinet-mounted environments, its IP20-rated enclosure protects internal circuitry from solid particle ingress. This model also includes a built-in EMC filter, reducing electrical noise and ensuring reliable performance near variable frequency drives and motors. Vibration resistance is in line with IEC 60068-2-6 standards, allowing it to function reliably in high-vibration industrial environments.

Weighing only 0.7 kg and standing at a compact 143 mm height, the FX2N-8EYT is perfect for vertical mounting in space-restricted panels, with installation tolerance of ±10°. The module integrates seamlessly into existing MELSEC-F series setups via a 2-wire RS-485 communication interface and supports streamlined control via an RJ45 connector. Mitsubishi’s commitment to industrial quality ensures this module provides consistent operation, making it a preferred choice across OEM machinery, motion control panels, and conveyor logic systems.

The Mitsubishi FX2N-8EYT PLC is widely used in industrial environments where precise, fast, and reliable output switching is essential. In robotic pick-and-place systems, this module helps drive solenoids, actuators, and relays with quick response times, ensuring every movement is executed without delay. For engineers handling conveyors, the transistor outputs provide consistent signal control for diverter gates, belt control, and motor switching, even during rapid changeovers.

In textile machines, labeling systems, and automated batch counters, the high switching frequency of the FX2N-8EYT ensures that pulses are registered accurately, improving efficiency and reducing machine downtime. Since it’s lightweight and fits well in tight spaces, it is especially useful when retrofitting old control panels where space constraints are common. Students and junior engineers learning about transistor output logic, source/sink configurations, and I/O expansion will find this PLC module to be a practical learning tool aligned with real-world industrial standards.

The FX2N-8EYT is more than just a component—it’s a Mitsubishi-certified solution built for speed, stability, and space efficiency in modern automation systems. Whether you're automating a packaging machine or upgrading your factory floor, this Mitsubishi PLC extension module gives you control, confidence, and compatibility where it matters most.
