Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native PT100/PT1000 Support – No external signal conditioner required; direct 3-wire RTD connection eliminates lead resistance errors.
- 4 Independent Channels – Monitor four separate temperature points simultaneously with a single compact module, reducing panel space and wiring cost.
- High Resolution (0.1°C) – Enables tight process control loops that voltage/current analog modules cannot achieve.
- Seamless FX2N Integration – Plug-and-play with the FX2N bus; configured via FROM/TO instructions with no special programming hardware needed.
- Proven Reliability – Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC FX series has a global installed base exceeding 20 million units, with documented MTBF >100,000 hours.
- Compact Form Factor – Fits standard FX2N expansion slots without additional mounting hardware.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the FX2N-4AD-PT accept thermocouple inputs?
A: No. This module is designed exclusively for PT100 and PT1000 RTD sensors. For thermocouple inputs, specify the FX2N-4AD-TC module instead.
Q: Is it compatible with the FX3U or FX5U PLC?
A: The FX2N-4AD-PT is not directly compatible with FX3U/FX5U. For those platforms, use the FX3U-4AD-PT-ADP or FX5-4AD-PT respectively.
Q: How many FX2N-4AD-PT modules can be connected to one FX2N base unit?
A: Up to 8 special function modules can be connected to a single FX2N CPU, subject to the total I/O point limit of 256 points.
Q: What is the wiring configuration for PT100 sensors?
A: The module uses 3-wire RTD connection. Terminals are labeled V+, I+, and COM per channel. Refer to Mitsubishi manual JY992D65801 for detailed wiring diagrams.
Q: Can I read the temperature data in Fahrenheit?
A: The module outputs data in 0.1°C units (digital value). Fahrenheit conversion (°F = °C × 9/5 + 32) must be implemented in the PLC ladder program.
