- Common Versions
| Suffix | Region | Unterschied |
| -ES/UL | Europe / North America | CE/UL certified, DC24V input, screw terminals |
| -UA1/UL | North America | Supports AC110V input, UL/CUL certified |
| -DS | Europe | DC24V power, screw terminals, CE compliant |
- Vorteile & Anwendungen
Vorteile: Built-in power supply, simple wiring; relay output can directly drive contactors, solenoids, usw. Low cost, high reliability.
Anwendungen: Small production lines, equipment automation, building control, Verpackungsmaschinen, food processing, usw.
- Auswahl & Nutzungshinweise
- Used with FX2N main units (z.B., FX2N-64MR). Installation order: main unit → expansion unit → special function module.
- Relay response approx. 10MS, not suitable for high-speed switching. For high-speed use, select transistor output (z.B., FX2N-48ET).
- Screw terminals; observe polarity of input/output common terminals to avoid short circuits.
Key Differences: FX2N-48ER vs FX2N-64ER
Main difference: Total I/O points (48 vs 64), corresponding to 24-in 24-out vs 32-in 32-out. Abmessungen, weight, and DC24V auxiliary power also differ; other features are identical.

- Application Impact
- Control Scale
FX2N-48ER: Small/medium machines, packaging, single-line automation
FX2N-64ER: Medium/large systems, multi-line control, more sensors/actuators
- Installation Space
FX2N-64ER is wider; extra space required in control panel.
- Field Device Power
FX2N-64ER provides more DC24V current for more sensors.
- Expansion
Both support up to 7 expansion units, max 256 I/O.
- Auswahlempfehlungen
- Choose based on actual I/O; slight redundancy is acceptable.
- Space-limited panels: prefer FX2N-48ER.
- Many DC24V sensors: prefer FX2N-64ER.
- Cost: FX2N-64ER is slightly more expensive.
