- Embedded Ethernet communications port
- Embedded analog I/O (2 inputs, 1 output)
- Dual bus architecture, 32K steps of internal program memory
- Integrated real-time clock
- Easy programming with large instruction set and table positioning configuration
- Built-in USB port to program communication
- Two built-in variable analog potentiometers for set-time adjustment
- Programming with GX Works2 (Mitsubishi Electric’s configuration and programming software for FX, L, and Q Series controllers)
The built-in Ethernet port supports remote monitoring and maintenance on high-speed 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX communication. Users can read PLC information from any networked device with a standard web browser. For security, optional PLC keyword protections prohibit unauthorized access. The compact PLC is especially well suited for food and beverage applications, as well as material handling, and fan and pump applications used in irrigation and building automation.
