FX3UC Compact
High-End and Ultra-Compact with maximum flexibility
ULTRA-COMPACT DIMENSIONS SAVE SPACE
The new FX3UC PLC complements the popular FX3U high-end compact PLC and is the ideal choice for applications where there is not much space for the controller hardware. Its technical specifications are virtually identical. The smallest base unit with 8 digital inputs and 8 transistor outputs takes up just 27%of the space required for a comparable FX3U unit – and yet the FX3UC incorporates all the features of the FX3U.
POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
The new MELSEC FX3UC CPU brings greater flexibility and more performance to applications which do not have space for traditional style PLC’s. Like all other members of the FX family, each FX3UC PLC consists of a fully-integrated base unit that contains all the necessary PLC components, from the CPU to memory and the I/O controller.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
The FX3UC base units all have a 24V DC power supply and are available in versions with 16, 32, 64 or 96 I/Os. They can be expanded up to a maximum configuration of 384 I/Os by adding expansion modules and networked I/O points. The MELSEC FX3UC controllers are particularly well suited for applications in areas, where installation space is very limited or decentralization is needed.
FX3GE MELSEC Compact PLC
All-in-one standard including analogue and network features
The FX3GE Series is the most versatile compact PLC from Mitsubishi Electric and introduces yet another top model to the FX3 range. In addition to the powerful functions of the FX3G series, the FX3GE also boasts integral analog inputs/outputs and Ethernet connectivity. Other features include an RS422 interface and a USB programming port. The FX3GE, therefore, sets new class standards for compact PLCs; it provides excellent value for money and is ideally suited for many applications. Typical fields of use include the foodstuffs industry, processing machines, packaging technology, pumps and refrigeration systems.
MORE FUNCTIONALITY
For processing analog values, the FX3GE comes as standard with two analog inputs and one analog output, each having a resolution of 12 bits (0–4000). The FX3GE also features an Ethernet port with a transmission rate of 100/10 Mbit/s. The Ethernet port is ideal for programming and monitoring and for making online modifications. It also enables the unit to be connected to graphical operating panels (HMI), such as Mitsubishi Electric‘s GOT Series. With this Ethernet port, the FX3GE also provides a facility for monitoring process values using a web browser. The PLC can therefore be maintained and monitored regardless of where the FX3GE is installed. Appropriate access rights can be assigned using different password levels.
FLEXIBLE EXPANSION OPTIONS
FX3GE base units are available with 24 or 40 inputs/outputs and can be easily expanded. The simplest way of expanding the units is by means of digital or analog expansion adapters or communications adapters which can be fitted directly to the controller. These adapters are extremely easy to fit in the base unit and provide a cost-effective means of achieving additional capacity without taking up more space. Almost all expansion units for the FX3G, FX3U und FX2N can be used. Expansion modules can be fitted to the right of the controller, and adapter modules from the FX3U range can be connected to the left of the PLC. Analog signals and signals from temperature sensors can be measured straightforwardly and quickly with the help of these adapter modules.
