Modern industries demand automation systems that are faster, smarter, and more reliable. Mitsubishi Electric’s FX5 / iQ-F PLC platform is designed precisely for this need offering advanced control, seamless connectivity, and scalable performance suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s manufacturing, water systems, HVAC, packaging, or industrial machinery, the FX5 series provides the power and intelligence required for the next generation of automation.
The FX5 series represents a major upgrade from traditional PLC systems. It delivers high speed processing, enhanced motion control, comprehensive communication options, and built-in safety functions. Its compact size makes it ideal for small to medium automation systems, yet it offers features typically found only in large scale controllers.
The FX5 series introduces a major leap in performance compared to previous models. Mitsubishi has integrated many features directly into the CPU, reducing additional hardware costs and making system design simpler and cleaner.
The FX5 series feature a significantly faster CPU, reducing scan times and improving machine performance. This allows:
This makes the FX5 ideal for applications that require speed and accuracy, such as packaging machines, indexing systems, and servo driven equipment.
Unlike earlier generations, many essential functions are included by default:
This reduces the need for extra modules, making the system more cost efficient and compact.
Modern industries require smooth communication between machines, SCADA, HMIs, and remote monitoring systems. The FX5 series supports this with:
With the FX5-ENET expansion module, even more advanced networking options are available, making it easier to integrate the PLC into modern smart factory automation systems..
The iQ-F series allows users to expand only when needed. This modular approach includes:
Modules such as FX5-4AD-ADP and FX5-4DA-ADP make the PLC suitable for process control, while the FX5-4AD-TC-ADP allows precise temperature measurement for heaters, ovens, and furnaces.
The iQ-F series is designed for efficient programming using Mitsubishi’s GX Works3 software. It provides:
This improves development efficiency and reduces commissioning time.
A reliable compact PLC for simple automation tasks. Offers relay outputs with enough I/O for small machine control, pumps, and conveyor systems. Ideal for cost sensitive applications.
A larger variant of the FX5S series, suitable for mid size automation tasks. Provides stable operation with more I/O points for expanded control.
A high-performance controller with built-in advanced functions such as Ethernet, real time clock, and high speed pulse outputs. Suitable for machine lines, servo systems, and medium complex automation.
Designed for larger machines that require a high number of inputs and outputs. Delivers excellent processing power and supports broad system expansion.
A transistor output PLC ideal for high speed switching tasks. Suitable for motion related applications, sensor rich equipment, and fast response machinery.
A compact high speed PLC with transistor outputs. Excellent for servo motor control, pick and place mechanisms, and automation requiring fast pulse output.
A 4-channel analog input module used for reading voltage or current signals from sensors. Suitable for pressure monitoring, load cells, and process inputs.
A 4-channel analog output module used for controlling VFD speed references, proportional valves, or process loops requiring smooth analog output.
An Ethernet adapter that expands the PLC’s networking capability. Useful for remote monitoring, SCADA integration, and industrial communication.
A thermocouple input module that offers accurate temperature measurement across four channels. Ideal for furnaces, ovens, thermo processing, and heating systems.
The Mitsubishi FX5 / iQ-F Series sets a new benchmark in compact automation. With faster processing, powerful built-in functions, flexible expansion options, and advanced communication capabilities, it enables industries to build smarter and more efficient machines. Whether used in packaging lines, HVAC systems, process control, or servo applications, the FX5 series provides the perfect balance of performance, reliability, and scalability.
