Engineered specifically for remote I/O applications, the Mitsubishi FX2N-16LNK-M serves as a master block in the MELSEC-I/O LINK system. Designed to handle up to 128 total I/O points, this unit can interconnect with 16 devices, each contributing 4 I/O points.
Data refresh is rapid, with a refresh time of about 5.4 ms, ensuring efficient operations. Using the register insertion method, communication occurs at a standard speed of 38,400 bps. Furthermore, this module employs a sync mechanism that utilizes frame and bit synchronization for precise timing.
The FX2N-16LNK-M includes an error control system utilizing phase inversion, parity checks, and retries in the event of a timeout. Its bus-type transmission path eliminates the need for terminal resistors, streamlining installation. The apparatus can transmit data over a distance of up to 200 meters.
It also features an LED for error indication alongside RUNA and RUNB outputs, enabling straightforward system status monitoring. Users can configure I/O points to various totals—16, 32, 48, 64, 96, or 128 points—to match specific requirements.
The external supply voltage for the system ranges from 21.6 to 27.6 V DC, while it consumes 90 mA when powered at 24 V DC. For its 5 V DC supply, consumption is specified at 200 mA, ensuring efficient energy management.
