Mitsubishi FX5S-30MT/ES MELSEC iQ-F Compact PLC

Description

A compact iQ-F controller for small machines

The Mitsubishi Electric FX5S is the smallest CPU of the MELSEC iQ-F family. The photographed FX5S-30MT/ES has 16 DC inputs and 14 transistor outputs on a single AC-powered unit, with the power supply, program memory and high-speed functions built in. It targets small standalone machines that need a PLC with Ethernet, high-speed counting and pulse output but not a large I/O count.

Programs are written in ladder, structured text or function block diagram with GX Works3, with 48 k steps of program memory and basic instruction times of 84 to 100 ns. Four high-speed input channels reach 100 kHz, and the unit can output pulse trains on up to four axes for stepper or servo drives.

Model selection and expansion

Choose the point count first: 30 points (16 in / 14 out), 40 points (24 in / 16 out) or 60 points (36 in / 24 out). Then choose the output type: relay (R) for mixed loads, or transistor sink (T1, models ending /ES) or source (T2, /ESS) for fast switching and pulse train outputs. The catalogue shows relay and transistor versions of each size.

Functions are added through FX5 expansion boards on the front (an SD memory card module and one communication board, two in total) and expansion adapters on the left side (up to 2 communication adapters and 4 analog adapters, six in total). Note that when expansion boards are used the number of adapters is restricted.

Confirm before ordering: output type and sink or source wiring, AC supply, the points needed including expansion, positioning axes, communication adapters, and the engineering software. For larger systems with more I/O, compare the Mitsubishi FX5U; a touch terminal such as the GT2510-VTBA is a typical partner, and the PLC and I/O category lists related controllers.

About brand

Laboratories that run an NSX-2100 trace sulfur, nitrogen or chlorine analyzer usually know it as a Mitsubishi instrument. The nameplate reads Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech, a name later changed to Nittoseiko Analytech. Seven Star LLC lists the TN6RPC gas tube dryer set for this analyzer and sources NSX-2100 consumables for refinery and fuel-testing laboratories in Oman and the GCC.

The Mitsubishi listing also includes Mitsubishi Electric factory automation and drive products: MR-J3, MR-J5 and MR-JE servo amplifiers, GOT2000 and GOT SIMPLE HMI touch panels, FR-A800, FR-E800, FR-F800 and FR-CS80 FREQROL inverters, MELSEC iQ-F PLC modules, MELSEC A-series input and temperature modules with a memory cassette, and S-T magnetic contactors and TH-T thermal overload relays.

Mitsubishi NSX-2100 parts

The NSX-2100 was built with a horizontal or a vertical furnace, and one furnace can serve several detectors. The dryer set removes water from the combustion gas before it reaches the detector. Like the connection kits, it is a consumable, and its part code changes with the analyzer variant.

Ordering NSX-2100 consumables: what we need

Send the part code, for example TN6RPC, together with the exact analyzer model shown on the nameplate (the letters after NSX-2100 indicate furnace type and detectors), the serial number and the detectors fitted. Some original part codes have been replaced by newer ones, so we check each code against the manufacturer's current parts list before quoting.
