Mitsubishi's FX1N-485-BD serves as a communication board facilitating efficient communication between various devices. The unit operates within a transmission capability of 50 meters (164.04 feet) or less, making it suitable for a range of applications. Operating on a 5 Volts DC power supply sourced from the main programmable controller unit, it draws an input current of 60 milliamperes.
This board is equipped with RS422 and RS485 communication interfaces. It can conduct various communication procedures, including N:N networking, parallel links, computer links, and operation without protocols. The communication methods used are half-duplex and bi-directional, enhancing flexibility in system design.
The FX1N-485-BD has baud rates ranging from 300 to 19,200 bits per second for computer and no protocol communication, while it operates at 19,200 bits per second for parallel links, and can achieve 38,400 bits per second for N:N networking configurations.
With LED indicators, this board simplifies monitoring and gives users immediate visual feedback on operational status. It also adapts to ambient temperatures between 0 to 55°C during operation and can be stored safely at temperatures dropping to -20°C, up to 70°C. The design employs a non-insulated insulation type.
Mounting options include both DIN rail and direct mounting methods, and the connection utilizes a European terminal block for secure and reliable connections. Compatibility is ensured with the FX1S and FX1N series of programmable controllers, making it a versatile choice for integration in automation setups.
