Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Electric
Part number/model: e.g. FX5U-32MR/ES
Quantity required
Application/machine
New, used or refurbished requirement
Required delivery location
Photograph of existing module, if available

For replacement requirements, a clear photograph of the existing PLC label can be extremely useful.

Tips for Buying Mitsubishi PLC Modules

1. Confirm the complete part number

Mitsubishi PLC model numbers can differ by:

Input voltage
Output type
Number of I/O points
Terminal configuration
Communication interface
Hardware generation
Power supply arrangement

Do not order based only on “FX5U” or “Q Series”.

2. Check relay versus transistor outputs

Different PLC configurations may use relay or transistor outputs. Confirm the output type required by the application before purchasing.

3. Check AC and DC requirements

Confirm the PLC’s power supply requirements and field-device voltage before installation.

4. Confirm compatibility

When replacing an older PLC, check:

CPU compatibility
Expansion compatibility
Communication compatibility
Programming software
Existing I/O configuration
Firmware requirements
Network architecture

5. Check discontinued models

Older Mitsubishi PLC systems may require replacement or migration planning. Mitsubishi provides current technical documentation and replacement information for its MELSEC range.

6. Match the application

A compact FX-series PLC may be appropriate for one machine, while a modular Q or iQ-R system may be required for a larger automation installation.

7. Send the old module photograph

A photograph showing the complete Mitsubishi model number can significantly reduce the risk of supplying an incorrect replacement.
