Mitsubishi FX3G-60MT/ESS 60-Point PLC with 36 Inputs and 24 Transistor Outputs

The Mitsubishi FX3G-60MT/ESS is a compact and expandable PLC designed for industrial automation, machine control, and sequence-control applications. With 60 integrated I/O points, including 36 digital inputs and 24 transistor source outputs, it provides a practical control platform for machinery requiring multiple sensors, switches, actuators, and other field devices. The 100–240 V AC power supply allows the controller to be integrated into a wide range of industrial control panels.

A key feature of the FX3G-60MT/ESS is its combination of built-in communication and motion-control capabilities. The unit provides USB and RS-422 interfaces, while its transistor-output architecture supports high-speed pulse and positioning functions. Mitsubishi specifies up to three independent positioning axes and pulse output frequencies of up to 100 kHz, making the FX3G platform suitable for applications that require both conventional sequence control and higher-speed machine functions.

The FX3G-60MT/ESS is also relevant for maintenance and replacement of existing Mitsubishi automation systems. Mitsubishi Electric currently lists this specific model as discontinued material, so it can be particularly useful when maintaining legacy machinery that still relies on the FX3G platform. When replacing an existing PLC, users should verify the exact model, output type, power supply, wiring, program requirements, and expansion configuration before installation.
