Specification

SEODescription

The FX5-2HC/ES Module is a High-Speed Counter Module designed as an FX5 PLC Expansion Module, offering precise counting and monitoring for industrial automation applications. It features 2 high-speed input channels supporting differential or single-phase signals with a maximum frequency of 200 kHz, enabling accurate tracking of rapid pulse signals from encoders or sensors. Directly compatible with FX5 PLC systems, it integrates seamlessly via the MELSEC communication protocol without requiring additional configuration modules. Operating at 24 V DC with a wide voltage tolerance of 20.4–28.8 V DC, it functions reliably in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 55°C, suitable for harsh environments in manufacturing, packaging, and logistics. Key advantages include real-time data processing, compact design, and robust noise resistance, though its fixed channel count may limit scalability for larger systems requiring more inputs.
