Mitsubishi FX5-16ET/ES-H - Programmable Logic Controller

The Mitsubishi FX5-16ET/ES-H PLC is a high-speed pulse I/O module that combines compact design with robust control capabilities. It offers 8 digital inputs and 8 transistor-based digital outputs with sink-type logic, enabling it to handle rapid signal processing for time-critical automation tasks. With a 24 V DC power supply, it is well-suited for use in control panels requiring stable low-voltage operation. This MELSEC iQ-F Series PLC features a space-saving build, with only 40 mm width, 90 mm height, and 83 mm depth, making it a reliable choice for compact machine designs. Weighing just 0.2 kg, the module integrates seamlessly into panel assemblies without adding excess bulk. Supporting 16 I/O points, it offers the right balance of functionality and efficiency for mid-range PLC applications. Its pulse I/O feature is especially useful for controlling stepper motors, encoders, and position-based devices. Trusted by automation professionals across industries like textiles, electronics, and small-parts assembly, the FX5-16ET/ES-H offers reliable signal response, simplified configuration, and durable performance. As part of Mitsubishi's globally respected PLC portfolio, it ensures long-term compatibility, support, and firmware updates. The Mitsubishi FX5-16ET/ES-H PLC is widely used in industrial environments that require high-speed response for motion and timing control. Applications include packaging machines, labeling systems, stepper motor synchronization, and precision conveyor indexing, where pulse signals are required to drive actuators or capture encoder feedback. For Indian maintenance engineers, the module’s compact size and pre-defined I/O structure allow easy retrofitting into older machines or integration into new installations with minimal wiring. The combination of 8 inputs and 8 transistor outputs provides enough flexibility for small-to-medium process control, while the sink logic configuration supports reliable DC signal grounding across sensors and relays. This PLC is also an excellent learning module for students and junior automation engineers aiming to understand high-speed I/O concepts. With its consistent performance, simplified wiring layout, and pulse control capability, the FX5-16ET/ES-H is a versatile, trusted solution for compact and responsive Mitsubishi PLC applications.
