FX3GE-40MR/ES - Mitsubishi Programmable Controllers Melsec

Built for demanding industrial environments, the Mitsubishi FX3GE-40MR/ES PLC delivers fast logic execution, compact integration, and robust signal handling across a wide range of automation setups. Operating on a versatile 100–240V AC power supply, this controller is equipped with 24 digital inputs, 16 relay outputs, and 2 analog inputs, making it suitable for hybrid applications involving digital and analog sensors. With 32K steps EEPROM memory and fast instruction processing (210 ns LD, 500 ns MOV), it ensures responsive and reliable performance in real-time control scenarios.

One of the standout features of the FX3GE-40MR/ES is its built-in Ethernet port, allowing seamless connectivity to SCADA systems, HMIs, and cloud-based industrial networks. Its expandability up to 256 remote I/O points and 128 local I/O points supports flexible control architectures without compromising on speed. The PLC complies with CE, UKCA, and UL/cUL standards, and meets vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6, confirming its rugged reliability. With a power consumption of 37W and IP10-rated housing, the controller is thermally efficient and suitable for cabinet-mounted systems. The inclusion of an optional buffer battery enhances data retention, while the compact build (just 175 mm wide and 0.8 kg) simplifies panel integration.

From packaging lines and conveyor systems to precision inspection machines and batch processing setups, the Mitsubishi FX3GE-40MR/ES stands out for its stability, I/O flexibility, and industrial-grade Ethernet communication. It is widely trusted by system integrators, OEMs, and plant engineers seeking to modernize legacy systems or develop modular control solutions.
