The Mitsubishi FX3U-ETHERNET module serves as a key component in enhancing Ethernet capabilities for automated systems. It is categorized under the FX Series and is specifically designed for robust communication purposes. The device facilitates data transmission speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps and can function in both full-duplex and half-duplex communication modes. This flexibility allows it to adapt to various network requirements.
With a maximum segment length of 100 meters (328 feet), the FX3U-ETHERNET is capable of supporting up to eight simultaneous connections. This makes it suitable for multiple devices needing network access concurrently. The integrated fixed buffer can store up to 1023 words of data, ensuring efficient handling of communication tasks.
Additionally, the module is equipped for email functionality, enabling it to transmit attached files of up to 2048 words, plus 256 words for the main content. It operates with a power supply requirement of 24V DC and draws 240mA, establishing its suitability for various industrial setups.
The FX3U-ETHERNET module operates optimally within a temperature spectrum of 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F), while it withstands storage temperatures from -20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F). Its insulation resistance is rated at 5MΩ or more at 500V DC, contributing to its reliability. Compatible PLC versions include FX3G Ver. 1.00 or later, as well as FX3U/FX3UC Ver. 2.21 or later, making it a versatile choice for system upgrades. The lightweight design, weighing only 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs), allows for easy installation. Moreover, in the event of an instantaneous power failure lasting one millisecond or less, the module continues to operate without interruption.
