The new MELSEC FX3UC CPU brings greater flexibility and more performance to applications which do not have space for traditional style PLC' s. Like all other members of the FX family, each FX3UC PLC consists of a fully-integrated base unit that contains all the necessary PLC components, from the CPU to memory and the I/ O controller.

The smallest base unit with 8 digital inputs and 8 transistor outputs takes up just 27 % of the space required for a comparable FX3U unit – and yet the FX3UC incorporates all the features of the FX3U.

The FX3UC base units all have a 24V DC power supply and are available in versions with 16, 32, 64 or 96 I/ Os. They can be expanded up to a maximum configuration of 384 I/ Os by adding expansion modules and networked I/ O points.

Just like the FX3U, the FX3UC offers outstanding connectivity for all standard networks.

I/ O terminal blocks with screw or spring terminals can be connected with standard ribbon cable connectors
