Engineered by Mitsubishi Electric, the FX3UC-16MT/DSS PLC offers a balanced combination of speed, scalability, and compact form factor for modern industrial applications. Operating on a 24V DC power supply, this controller provides 8 integrated digital inputs and 8 digital outputs with transistor SOURCE logic, making it suitable for precise, high-frequency switching in machine control. The system features 32K steps of EEPROM-based program memory, ensuring secure and non-volatile logic retention, even during power loss. Its LD instruction cycle time of 65 ns and MOV instruction time of 642 ns enable quick response cycles for time-critical automation tasks.
Despite its minimal sizeβjust 34 mm wide and weighing only 0.2 kgβthis PLC supports up to 256 local I/O points and scales to 384 I/O points with remote expansion modules. The unit's IP10 protection class and operational resilience up to 55Β°C ambient temperature make it reliable in compact cabinets or control boxes with minimal airflow. The inclusion of a buffer battery allows for continuous operation and program backup, while its power consumption of only 6W makes it energy-efficient. Certified with CE, UKCA, and various marine-grade approvals like ABS, DNV GL, and RINA, the FX3UC-16MT/DSS is trusted by automation engineers worldwide for its consistent performance and flexible design.

The Mitsubishi FX3UC-16MT/DSS is ideal for small to mid-scale automation where space is limited, but performance cannot be compromised. Commonly deployed in semiconductor manufacturing, automated packaging systems, food processing machines, and labeling equipment, it offers reliable operation in 24/7 production environments. Engineers value its modular expansion options, while maintenance teams appreciate the clear signal control and easy panel integration.
With high-speed I/O handling and seamless communication via RS-485, it enables quick interfacing with HMIs, sensors, and actuators. Its ability to retain programs using EEPROM memory and buffer battery ensures smooth recovery during power interruptions. Whether youβre designing new systems or retrofitting old panels, the FX3UC-16MT/DSS delivers peace of mind through tested durability, fast processing, and global certification support.
