Mitsubishi's FX-16NT-S3 is an interface unit tailored for integration with FX series programmable controllers. This product offers connections to the MELSECNET/MINI-S3 network, operating as a local station or as a remote I/O unit for A2C CPUs. It requires a 24V DC supply, tolerating variations of +30% to -35%. The unit also provides internal power from an FX or FX2C at 5V DC and 80 mA.

On the network, this interface allows for the transmission of 8 input and 8 output points, totaling up to 24 points used from the FX PC functionalities. It supports 2 occupied stations, and 64 stations can be connected to the network. Station-to-station transmission is facilitated over twisted pair cable systems, with a maximum distance capability of 50m when utilizing cables sized between 0.2mm² to 0.5mm², extending to 100m with cables of 0.5mm² or larger.

Shielded twisted-wire pair cables are applicable for installation, featuring at least 2 pairs to ensure robust communication. The specifications for conductor resistance are 88.0Ω/km or lower at 20°C, while capacitance must not exceed 60 n•F/km at 1 kHz. The characteristic impedance is maintained at 110±10Ω at 100 kHz. These characteristics affirm the reliability and effectiveness of the FX-16NT-S3 interface unit in various operational environments.
