The FX2N-8ER-ES/UL is a 4-input, 4-output relay expansion block for Mitsubishi FX2N-series PLCs. Inputs accept sink or source signals at 24 VDC, 5 mA typical. Relay outputs handle up to 2 A resistive per point (8 A per common) and 80 VA inductive. Response time sits around 10 ms for both input and output transitions — not for fast counting, but fine for general-purpose control.

Frequently asked questions
Can the FX3S-30MR/ES replace the FX2N-8ER-ES/UL?
No direct swap. The FX3S-30MR/ES is a 16-input, 14-output CPU unit on a different chassis, not a plug-in expansion block. Wiring and mechanical footprint differ.
What is the input format of this block?
Sink/source selectable. Accepts no-voltage contact, NPN open collector, or PNP open collector at 24 VDC ±10%.
What is the mass of the FX2N-8ER-ES/UL?
0.2 kg (shipping weight 1.2 kg with packaging).
