Mitsubishi FX2N-16EX PLC Input Module FX2N16EX

Description:

The Mitsubishi FX2N‑16EX PLC input module is used in industrial automation systems to provide expanded digital input capability for FX2N series programmable logic controllers. Commonly installed in control panels and PLC racks to interface field devices such as sensors, switches, and detectors with the PLC. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this module for I/O expansion, system upgrades, and replacement of failed or aging input modules.

Applications:

The Mitsubishi FX2N‑16EX input module is widely used in factory and process automation environments requiring reliable acquisition of discrete signals. It is commonly found in conveyor systems, packaging machines, material handling systems, assembly lines, and safety interlock applications where 24 VDC discrete inputs from proximity sensors, pushbuttons, and limit switches are needed to feed PLC logic for control and sequencing.
