FX2N-8EYT-ESS MITSUBISHI MELSEC 8-Point Source Transistor Output Module

The FX2N-8EYT-ESS MITSUBISHI (Model: FX2N-8EYT-ESS) is an 8-point digital transistor output expansion block designed for Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC FX Series compact PLCs (including FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, and FX3U base units). Equipped with 8 source-type (PNP) transistor outputs, the FX2N-8EYT-ESS MITSUBISHI provides clean, high-speed digital switching for external loads, pilot lights, interposing relays, and European-standard PNP control devices.

Designed with short-circuit and overcurrent protection, the FX2N-8EYT-ESS MITSUBISHI connects directly to the right-side extension bus of main PLC controllers via an integrated ribbon cable. Featuring optical isolation between internal backplane logic and field terminals, it delivers high electrical noise immunity and rapid switching speeds for solenoid valves, indicator banks, and high-frequency control applications.

Key Features of the FX2N-8EYT-ESS MITSUBISHI

• 8 Digital Transistor Outputs: Provides 8 independently addressable source-type (PNP) digital output points.

• Source (PNP) Output Configuration: Designed for switching positive DC voltage loads in compliance with European industrial standards.

• Integrated Short-Circuit Protection: Electronic protection circuit shields output transistors against field wiring short-circuits and overloads.

• Optocoupler Signal Isolation: Optical isolation protects internal PLC processor logic from high-voltage field spikes and inductive kickback.

• Compact DIN-Rail Mount Housing: Modular width design conserves panel rail space in dense automation enclosures.

• Broad FX System Compatibility: Connects seamlessly to FX1N, FX2N, FX3G, and FX3U Series PLC main processing units.

Primary Applications

• Machine Tooling & Packaging Lines: Switching high-frequency solenoid valves, pneumatic actuators, and position indicators

• Marine Telemetry & Panel Extensions: Expanding digital output point density on shipboard monitoring and auxiliary pump skids

• Factory Control Cabinets: Interfacing PLC output logic with European PNP relay banks, alarm beacons, and contactors
