Migration Info

The FX series is succeeded by the FX5U Series. It is not a direct drop-in replacement in terms of wiring or dimensions, but very similar. Programs can be imported into the latest GXWorks3 software platform, but some review is necessary to ensure that all functions of the program are migrated successfully. Please contact your local Mitsubishi representative if additional assistance is required.
