Machine Control & Discrete Output Solution – Mitsubishi FX0N-8ER | FX0N Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Mitsubishi FX0N-8ER is an 8-point relay output extension module designed to expand the I/O capacity of Mitsubishi FX0N series programmable logic controllers. It is widely deployed across demanding industrial environments where reliable discrete output switching is critical:
- Conveyor & Material Handling Systems – Controls motor starters, solenoid valves, and signal lamps along production lines.
- Packaging Machinery – Drives actuators, pneumatic cylinders, and reject mechanisms in high-cycle packaging equipment.
- Machine Tool & CNC Auxiliary Control – Manages coolant pumps, tool changers, and safety interlocks as a relay output expander.
- HVAC & Building Automation – Switches contactors and relays for fan coil units, damper actuators, and pump control panels.
- Food & Beverage Processing – Operates in wash-down-adjacent panels controlling filling, capping, and labeling stations.
- Water Treatment & Pump Stations – Provides isolated relay contacts for pump motor control and alarm annunciation.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Relay Isolation – Each output point provides galvanic isolation between the PLC logic and field devices, protecting the controller from inductive load spikes.
- AC & DC Load Compatibility – Relay contacts switch both AC 240V and DC 30V loads without additional interface relays, simplifying panel wiring.
- Plug-and-Play Expansion – Connects directly to the FX0N bus without additional power supplies or configuration; recognized automatically by the host PLC.
- Compact DIN-Rail Form Factor – Minimizes panel footprint while delivering 8 additional output channels.
- Proven Mitsubishi Reliability – Part of the globally trusted MELSEC FX0N family, with extensive installed base and long-term spare parts availability.
- Low Maintenance – Relay rated for high mechanical and electrical endurance cycles, reducing unplanned downtime.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the FX0N-8ER be used with FX1N or FX2N series PLCs?
A: No. The FX0N-8ER is designed exclusively for the FX0N series bus architecture. For FX1N/FX2N expansion, use FX2N-8ER or FX1N-compatible extension modules.
Q: How many FX0N-8ER modules can be connected to one FX0N main unit?
A: The FX0N series supports up to 3 extension modules total (mix of input and output), subject to the maximum I/O point limit of the host unit.
Q: Is the FX0N-8ER suitable for controlling 220V AC motor contactors directly?
A: Yes. The relay contacts are rated for AC 240V / 2A, making them suitable for directly switching standard IEC motor contactors up to the rated current.
Q: Do I need to configure the module in GX Works2 before use?
A: No additional hardware configuration is required. The FX0N main unit automatically detects the extension module. Output addresses are assigned sequentially starting from the last output of the host unit.
Q: What is the difference between FX0N-8ER and FX0N-8EYR?
A: The FX0N-8ER is a combined I/O extension module (typically 4 inputs + 4 outputs in some variants) while the FX0N-8EYR is a dedicated 8-point relay output module. Verify the exact I/O configuration on your unit’s label before installation.
