Integrator's field note
The FX5-80SSC-S is a MELSEC iQ-F simple motion module handling 8 axes of coordinated control. Running on 24 V DC (+20% / -15%), it samples an 8-point cycle every 0.888 ms or 1.777 ms depending on the selected operation mode — the faster interval suits tight multi-axis synchronization on pick-and-place or gantry cells. Wiring goes through a 26-pin connector (Mitsubishi part LD77MHIOCON); expect to assemble the mating cable with AWG30 to 24 wire.
Sourcing and fit
It occupies 8 of the FX5 rack's I/O points but serves only motion control; it does not expand digital I/O. The 26-pin connector format differs from earlier FX2N-series I/O blocks, so a panel rewired for FX2N-32ET would need adapter cabling or a new harness — no direct drop-in.
