- Hardware Features:
- The PLC is equipped with 12 digital inputs and 12 transistor outputs.
- Communication is facilitated through RS485, and the controller supports high communication rates, with a recommended setting of 115.2K.
- The main control CPU is a high-speed 32-bit ARM processor.
- The PLC is compatible with Mitsubishi ladder diagram programming software, including Gx-developer 8.86, GX-Works2, and GX-Works3.
- It supports a wide range of instructions, similar to those found in the FX1N and FX2N series.
- Special encryption methods are implemented to enhance security and protect intellectual property.
- Communication Protocols:
- The PLC supports Modbus-RTU, a widely used industrial communication protocol.
- Hot-Swappable Design:
- Serial communication ports are hot-swappable to prevent damage to the 232 communication lines during swapping.
- Power Supply Protection:
- Reverse connection protection is implemented for the power supply to prevent damage. It requires a DC 24V power supply.
- Environmental Resistance:
- The product is coated with three-proof paint, making it resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
- Output Features:
- Y0 and Y1 can output high-speed pulses, which need attention when connecting to motor drivers. Serial resistors are recommended.
- Supports simultaneous operation of 3 axes at 200kHz each or 2 axes at 300kHz each, with a total speed of 600kHz.
- Y0-Y3 are high-speed isolated outputs at 10,000kHz, and all Y signals are isolated.
- High-Speed Counters:
- X0-X5 are fully compatible with FX series high-speed counters, supporting Pulse Density (SPD), Compare Set (HSCS), and Compare Reset (HSCR).
- Default counting pulse input for X0-X5 is 20kHz.
- Load Power Supply Considerations:
- Output terminals “L+” and “COM” must be connected to the positive and negative of the load power supply. When the total load current exceeds 5A, both sets of “L+” and “COM” on the output terminals should be connected to the load power supply.
These features collectively make the ATN-24MT(FX3U-24MT) suitable for various industrial automation applications, providing flexibility, speed, and robustness.
