Mitsubishi FX0N-16EYR-ES UL PLC Output Expansion Module

Mitsubishi FX0N-16EYR-ES/UL PLC Output Expansion Module

 

 

The FX0N-16EYR-ES/UL is a Mitsubishi FX series relay output expansion module, used to increase PLC output capacity by adding 16 relay outputs. It is designed for the FX0N / FX series PLC system, commonly used in small to medium industrial automation machines.

Basic Information

• Part Number: FX0N-16EYR-ES/UL
• Brand: Mitsubishi Electric
• Series: FX0N (MELSEC-F family)
• Type: Output Expansion Module
• Function: Adds relay outputs to PLC system

Technical Specifications

• Output Points: 16 relay outputs
• Output Type: Relay (dry contact)
• Load Rating: up to 2A per point (resistive load)
• Voltage Range: up to 240VAC / 30VDC switching capability
• Installation: Connected directly to FX0N/FX base unit
• Power Supply: Powered from PLC base unit (no separate PSU required)
• Mounting: DIN rail / panel mounting system
• Certification: UL / CE version (ES/UL suffix)

Key Features

• Expands PLC output capability by 16 relay channels
• Supports both AC and DC load switching
• High isolation between control circuit and field devices
• Compact modular design for easy installation
• Reliable mechanical relay output (suitable for industrial loads)
• Compatible with FX0N system architecture

System Role

This module works as an output extension only, meaning:

PLC CPU → FX0N base system → FX0N-16EYR expansion module → field devices (relays, lamps, solenoids, contactors)

Each output acts as a switch contact, not a powered signal source.

Application Areas

• Small automation machines
• Packaging equipment
• Conveyor systems
• HVAC control systems
• Lighting / alarm control
• Motor starter control (via contactors)
• Industrial process control

Advantages

• Simple expansion without PLC replacement
• Strong compatibility with FX0N/FX family
• Relay outputs suitable for mixed AC/DC loads
• Easy wiring and maintenance
• Stable industrial-grade switching performance

Precautions

• Do not exceed 2A per output channel
• Relay outputs are mechanical → limited switching life
• Ensure proper surge protection for inductive loads (coils, contactors)
• Must be used with compatible FX0N base unit
• Avoid mixing incompatible FX series modules
