Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the FX1N-40MR-001 control a servo drive directly?
A: The MR (relay) output variant is not recommended for high-frequency pulse output to servo drives. For servo/stepper control, specify the FX1N-40MT-001 (transistor output) instead.
Q: How many expansion modules can be connected?
A: The FX1N base unit supports up to 8 expansion modules, allowing up to 128 additional I/O points.
Q: Is GX Works3 compatible with this PLC?
A: No. The FX1N series requires GX Works2 or the legacy GX Developer software. GX Works3 supports iQ-R and iQ-F series only.
Q: What is the maximum program memory?
A: 8,000 steps of ladder/SFC program memory, with optional memory cassette for data retention.
Q: Can I use this PLC with a third-party HMI (e.g., Weintek, Weinview, Proface)?
A: Yes. The FX1N-40MR-001 communicates via RS-422 and is supported by most major HMI brands through Mitsubishi FX protocol drivers.
