severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or
slight personal injury or physical damage.
Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by may also cause severe injury.
It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Install a safety circuit outside the PLC so that the entire system conservatively operates even if an
abnormality occurs in the external power supply or a failure occurs in the PLC.
If the safety circuit is installed inside the PLC, malfunction and erroneous output may cause
accidents.
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not touch any terminal while the FX2N-10GM positioning controller's power is on.
Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunctions.
• Before cleaning or retightening terminals externally cut off all phases of the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Thoroughly read the manual, sufficiently confirming safety, then perform returning to the zero point
in the MANU/AUTO mode, jog operation, step operation or automatic operation.
An operation error may damage the machinery or cause accidents.
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not disassemble or modify the FX2N-10GM positioning controller.
Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions.
For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric distributor.
• Turn off the power to the FX
extension cable.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Turn off the power to the FX
following devices.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
- Peripheral devices, FX Series terminal blocks
DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the environmentally safe recycling
and disposal of your device.

2. Outline of the unit
The FX2N-10GM positioning controller (hereinafter call FX2N-10GM or 10GM) is a pulse chain output unit
that enables the positioning control of a stepping motor or a servo motor via the drive unit.
2N
•One FX
-10GM can control 1 axis.
• Both dedicated positioning language (cod instructions) and sequence language (basic instructions
and application instructions) are available.
• A pulse generator can be connection.(The manual pulse generators must be an open collector output
type.)
• The zero return operation at each start can be omitted with a servo amplifier with the absolute position
(ABS) detection function.
• The FX
2N
-10GM can be used alone.
