The Mitsubishi FX3G-14MT/ES-A is a compact programmable logic controller with 8 sink/source inputs at 24 VDC and 6 transistor (sink) outputs, sized for small machine control or standalone process cells. It runs on a 100-240 V AC supply and draws 31 W, with onboard USB, RS232C, and RS485 ports for programming and simple HMI or drive links.
The 8 digital inputs are 24 VDC sink/source, selectable via the S/S terminal — common for most 24 V sensor families. The 6 transistor outputs are sink-type, rated for DC loads only; they switch faster than relay outputs and suit solenoid valves or indicator banks, but cannot switch AC or high-current loads directly. The 32 Mb memory holds a moderate program and data registers — enough for a packaging cell or a small batch sequence, not a multi-axis motion application. Communication ports include USB for fast program download, RS232C for a local HMI or barcode scanner, and RS485 for Modbus RTU networking to drives or remote I/O. The high-speed counter input runs at 60 Hz on two channels and 10 Hz on two additional channels — adequate for low-speed encoder feedback on conveyors or flowmeters, not for high-speed registration or servo feedback.
