Mitsubishi RY40NT5P - Programmable Logic Controller

The RY40NT5P is a high-efficiency PLC output module developed by Mitsubishi Electric to meet the modern demands of digital control systems. Featuring 16 integrated transistor outputs with sink logic, this unit operates on a 12–24 VDC power supply and delivers precise, low-latency switching performance. Its output type is transistor (sink), which ensures safe operation for DC-driven actuators, solenoids, and pilot lamps. With a slim profile—just 27.8 mm in width and 131 mm in depth—the module is ideal for compact panel layouts. Engineers value its screw-type wiring for ease of connection and maintenance, while its internal current consumption of only 0.14 A makes it energy-efficient and thermally stable during continuous operation. The MELSEC iQ-R Series is known for its high-speed system bus and scalability, and the RY40NT5P integrates seamlessly with other I/O and control modules. Its lightweight design (0.16 kg) and minimal I/O point usage (16 points) enable users to optimize panel space without sacrificing output capability. The Mitsubishi PLC RY40NT5P is widely used in applications requiring rapid digital signal processing—such as pick-and-place systems, packaging lines, material handling conveyors, and test benches. It enables high-speed DC switching in systems where timing, response, and safety are critical. Engineers commonly deploy this module to control valves, relays, small DC motors, and sensors across distributed control panels in automotive, pharmaceutical, and electronics manufacturing.

For junior maintenance engineers and engineering students, the RY40NT5P PLC offers a hands-on understanding of transistor sink outputs, control logic, and panel integration. Its predictable performance, noise immunity, and compatibility with programmable software environments make it an ideal learning tool and a reliable production-grade device. Maintenance professionals appreciate its fast troubleshooting ability and minimal failure rate, while system designers benefit from its seamless fit within a modular Mitsubishi architecture. If you're building or scaling a control system that requires compact, stable, and reliable output switching, the Mitsubishi RY40NT5P PLC is engineered for long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
