Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the FX0N-60MR-001 is the right choice for your application:
- I/O Count: Requires exactly 60 I/O points (36 DI / 24 DO)? → FX0N-60MR-001 is optimal. Need more? → Consider FX1N-60MR-001 or FX3G-60MR/ES.
- Output Type: Controlling contactors or lamps (resistive/inductive loads)? → Relay output (MR) is correct. Need high-speed pulse output for servo/stepper? → Select FX0N-60MT-001 (transistor output).
- Program Complexity: Program < 2,000 steps? → FX0N-60MR-001 is sufficient. Larger programs? → Upgrade to FX1N or FX3G series.
- Communication Needs: RS-422 only? → FX0N-60MR-001. Need USB or Ethernet? → FX3G-60MR/ES or FX5U series.
- Budget: Maintenance replacement of existing system → Original model preferred. New design with flexibility → Evaluate FX3G or FX5U for future-proofing.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the FX1N-60MR-001 a direct drop-in replacement for the FX0N-60MR-001?
A: Yes, the FX1N-60MR-001 is I/O-pin compatible and uses the same wiring layout. However, the program must be re-verified as the FX1N has expanded instruction sets and memory.
Q: Can I use FX0N expansion modules with the FX1N or FX3G?
A: FX0N expansion modules (FX0N-8EX, FX0N-8EYR, etc.) are compatible with FX1N. FX3G uses its own expansion bus; an adapter may be required.
Q: What programming cable do I need for the FX0N-60MR-001?
A: Use the SC-09 RS-422 programming cable or a USB-SC09-FX USB adapter for connection to a PC running GX Developer or GX Works2.
Q: Is the FX0N-60MR-001 still in production?
A: The FX0N series has been discontinued by Mitsubishi Electric. Konmask.com supplies genuine new-old-stock (NOS) and refurbished units. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can I mix relay and transistor output modules in the same FX0N system?
A: The main unit output type is fixed (relay for MR, transistor for MT). You can add transistor output expansion modules (FX0N-8EYT) alongside a relay-output main unit.
