Mitsubishi R28TB Product Specification
Product Overview
The Mitsubishi R28TB is a high-reliability relay terminal block module designed for use with Mitsubishi’s FX2N series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). As a critical component of the FX2N automation platform, this module serves as an interface between the PLC and field devices, enabling safe and efficient control of inductive loads such as motors, solenoids, and contactors. Engineered by Mitsubishi Electric, a global leader in industrial automation, the Mitsubishi R28TB is valued for its compact design, robust performance, and seamless integration with Mitsubishi’s ecosystem of control products.
Featuring 28 single-pole relay outputs, the Mitsubishi R28TB provides electrical isolation between the PLC’s digital outputs and high-power field devices, protecting the controller from voltage spikes and mechanical wear. Each relay is rated for 250V AC/30V DC and 2A current, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The module’s plug-and-play design allows for quick installation on a DIN rail, reducing setup time in control panels. By extending the FX2N PLC’s output capabilities, the Mitsubishi R28TB empowers engineers to design flexible, scalable automation systems that adapt to changing production requirements.
In industrial automation systems, the Mitsubishi R28TB acts as a vital link between the control layer and the physical plant floor. Its relay outputs provide the necessary switching capacity to drive actuators in manufacturing lines, packaging equipment, or process control systems. The module’s rugged construction, withstanding operating temperatures from 0°C to 55°C and humidity levels up to 85% non-condensing, ensures reliable performance in harsh environments. By combining durability with ease of use, the Mitsubishi R28TB helps minimize downtime and maintenance costs, making it a preferred choice for 中小型 (small to medium-sized) automation projects.
