Specification

SEODescription

The Mitsubishi FX5-4AD module is a high-precision analog input unit designed for the MELSEC FX5 series PLCs, offering four isolated channels for FX5-4AD analog input with 16-bit resolution. It supports voltage (0–10 V, ±10 V) and current (0–20 mA, 4–20 mA) signals, enabling flexible sensor integration. Directly connectable to the FX5 CPU via a built-in high-speed bus, it operates on 24 VDC with a temperature range of 0–55°C, suitable for industrial automation, process control, and manufacturing. Key advantages include its compact design, high accuracy, and seamless compatibility with MELSEC FX5 systems. However, its 16-bit performance may require careful signal conditioning to minimize noise interference. The module lacks built-in communication interfaces but leverages the FX5 PLC's Ethernet and serial ports for system integration.
