Is the Mitsubishi Electric FX3G-24MR/DS discontinued?
On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the FX3G-24MR/DS has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.
Source: ECS lifecycle assessment, based on ECS's internal lifecycle data in Command Centre. Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.
What Cancellation means for you
You can no longer order it as a normal product, and nothing new should be designed around it. If machines depend on it, you want spare stock you can rely on and a migration plan. Both start with knowing how many you run and whether each has a backup.
Before replacing a PLC processor
We would secure a current, tested PLC program backup, record the programming software and version, and map the I/O, networks and intelligent modules connected to the controller.
CPU migrations can alter addressing, communications, memory behaviour or firmware requirements, so a newer processor in the same general family is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Proving that the program can actually be restored while the existing controller still runs is one of the most valuable checks a maintenance team can make.

Common questions about the FX3G-24MR/DS
Is the Mitsubishi Electric FX3G-24MR/DS discontinued?
On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the FX3G-24MR/DS has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.
Can I still buy a FX3G-24MR/DS?
Not as a normal new product. Remaining distributor stock or designated spares may still be available. Buy any you need now.
How do I back up a FX3G-24MR/DS?
It is programmed with GX Works 3. The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.
With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.
A Capture audit finds every FX3G-24MR/DS on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.
