Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the FX2N-32MR-001 still in production?
A: The FX2N series has been superseded by FX3U and FX5U. New units may be available as new-old-stock (NOS). Contact us to confirm current availability.
Q: Can I replace FX2N-32MR-001 with FX3U-32MR/ES directly?
A: Mechanically and electrically compatible in most cases. The program must be re-verified in GX Works2 as some FX2N instructions differ in FX3U.
Q: What is the difference between FX2N-32MR and FX2N-32MT?
A: MR = Relay output (suitable for AC/DC loads, slower switching). MT = Transistor output (DC only, high-speed switching for pulse/servo applications).
Q: Does Konmask.com offer programming or integration support?
A: We specialize in hardware supply. For programming services, we can refer you to certified Mitsubishi system integrators.
Q: Can I expand the FX2N-32MR-001 to more I/O points?
A: Yes. The FX2N base unit supports expansion up to 256 total I/O points using FX2N expansion modules connected via the right-side bus connector.
