Mitsubishi FX2N-128MR-ES/UL Relay Output PLC Module – MELSEC FX2N Series
When a programmable logic controller fails mid-production, the consequences cascade instantly: conveyor lines halt, robotic arms freeze, and entire manufacturing cells go dark. Unplanned downtime in industrial environments costs thousands of dollars per hour — and sourcing a certified replacement quickly is the difference between a brief interruption and a catastrophic production loss. The Mitsubishi FX2N-128MR-ES/UL is the proven answer: a field-hardened, UL-listed relay output PLC module engineered to restore control and keep critical processes running.
Within the MELSEC FX2N family — Mitsubishi Electric’s flagship compact PLC series that has anchored factory automation globally for over two decades — the FX2N-128MR-ES/UL occupies the top tier of the standard I/O lineup. With 128 I/O points in a compact DIN-rail package, it delivers the processing headroom and relay output robustness demanded by mid-to-large machine builders across automotive, food & beverage, packaging, and material handling industries worldwide. Its UL certification and ES/UL dual-standard compliance make it the preferred choice for North American and international OEM projects alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between FX2N-128MR-ES/UL and FX2N-128MT-ESS/UL?
A: The MR suffix denotes relay output, suitable for driving AC/DC loads directly. The MT suffix denotes transistor (sink) output, which offers faster switching speeds (suitable for pulse outputs and high-frequency applications) but is limited to DC loads. Choose MR for general-purpose machine control; choose MT when you need high-speed pulse output for stepper or servo drives.
Q: Is the FX2N-128MR-ES/UL still in production?
A: The FX2N series has been officially discontinued by Mitsubishi Electric, with the FX5U series as the recommended successor. However, genuine new-old-stock (NOS) and surplus units remain available. Konmask.com maintains stock and sourcing channels for FX2N modules to support existing installed base maintenance and replacement needs.
Q: Can I use GX Works3 to program the FX2N-128MR-ES/UL?
A: No. The FX2N series is compatible with GX Developer and GX Works2 only. GX Works3 supports FX5U and iQ-R/iQ-F series. Ensure you use the correct software version for your project.
Q: What is the maximum number of I/O points with expansion modules?
A: The FX2N base unit supports up to 8 extension modules, bringing the maximum I/O to 256 points. Additional special function modules (analog, communication, positioning) can also be added within the extension bus limits.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on this product?
A: Yes. We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all genuine units. Warranty claims are handled directly by our technical team with replacement or repair options.
Q: Can you supply the FX2N-128MR-ES/UL with a full system BOM?
A: Absolutely. We regularly supply complete FX2N control system packages including expansion modules, communication boards, HMI panels, and programming cables. Contact us with your project requirements.
