The Mitsubishi FX5U-32MT/DS is a 32-point CPU module with 16 inputs terminated as 24 V DC sink and 16 relay outputs on screw terminal blocks. The 5 V DC bus draws 900 mA, and the 24 V DC sensor supply draws 480 mA. Relay outputs handle AC and DC loads up to the module's rated capacity; for high-speed or transistor-driven loads, consider the FX5UC-32MT/D with transistor outputs and a compact connector.
FX5U-32MT/DS vs FX5UC-32MT/D — key differences
The FX5UC-32MT/D shares the same 16-in/16-out count and 24 V DC sink input scheme, but switches to transistor (sink) outputs on a connector instead of relay terminals. The FX5U-32MT/DS's screw terminals simplify field wiring with larger gauge conductors; the FX5UC-32MT/D's connector speeds cabinet assembly when using pre-terminated harnesses. Power supply draw differs: the FX5U-32MT/DS consumes 900 mA on 5 V and 480 mA on 24 V; the FX5UC-32MT/D draws 720 mA and 500 mA, respectively.
