Mitsubishi FX2N-128MR-ES/UL Programmable Logic Controller – FX2N Series
When a production line loses its PLC, everything stops. Conveyors freeze, robotic arms halt mid-cycle, and safety interlocks go dark — costing manufacturers thousands of dollars per hour in unplanned downtime. The controller at the heart of these systems is not a commodity; it is the brain of the operation. Without a reliable, specification-matched replacement, even a minor fault can cascade into a full-facility shutdown.
The Mitsubishi FX2N-128MR-ES/UL is the flagship model of Mitsubishi Electric’s FX2N series — the most widely deployed compact PLC platform in Asia-Pacific and a proven workhorse across North American and European manufacturing floors. With 128 I/O points (64 inputs / 64 relay outputs), UL certification, and full compatibility with the FX2N expansion ecosystem, this unit occupies the top tier of the FX2N lineup and remains one of the most specified compact PLCs in global industrial automation.

Key Features & Benefits
- High-Density I/O in Compact Form: 128 I/O points in a single base unit eliminates the need for additional expansion racks in most mid-scale applications, reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity.
- Relay Output Versatility: MR-type relay outputs switch both AC and DC loads without external interface relays, simplifying circuit design for solenoids, contactors, and indicator lamps.
- UL Listing for North American Compliance: The ES/UL suffix confirms UL 508 listing, making this unit suitable for UL-compliant control panels in the US and Canada without additional certification burden.
- Proven FX2N Instruction Set: Over 200 applied instructions including PID, floating-point arithmetic, and interrupt routines — enabling sophisticated control logic without a motion controller.
- Broad Expansion Ecosystem: Compatible with the full FX2N special function module library: analog I/O, temperature, positioning, communication, and more.
- Long-Term Parts Availability: FX2N remains one of the most stocked legacy PLC platforms globally, ensuring spare parts and compatible modules are readily available for maintenance teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the FX2N-128MR-ES/UL still in production?
A: Mitsubishi Electric has transitioned the FX2N series to end-of-life status. However, Konmask.com maintains stock of genuine units sourced from verified channels to support ongoing maintenance and replacement needs.
Q: What is the difference between FX2N-128MR-ES/UL and FX2N-128MT-ESS/UL?
A: The MR suffix denotes relay outputs; the MT suffix denotes transistor (sink) outputs. Relay outputs handle both AC and DC loads and are preferred for general-purpose switching. Transistor outputs offer faster switching speeds and are suited for high-frequency pulse outputs and servo drives.
Q: Can this PLC communicate with third-party HMIs or SCADA systems?
A: Yes. With the FX2N-485-BD communication board installed, the unit supports Modbus RTU protocol, enabling integration with most third-party HMIs, SCADA platforms, and inverters.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: GX Developer (version 8.x or later) or GX Works2 in FX2N-compatible mode. Both are available from Mitsubishi Electric’s software portal.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All units are covered by Konmask.com’s standard 90-day functional warranty. Extended warranty options are available upon request for volume orders.
