1.2Outline of Product
The positioning unit FX2N-10GM and the positioning unit FX2N-20GM (hereafter referred to as
"FX
-10GM", "FX2N-20GM" or "positioning unit" when indicating the both models) are special
2N
units to output pulse tr ains.
The positioning unit allo ws y ou to cont r ol positioni ng using a steppi ng motor or servo motor via
a drive unit.
1) Number of control axes (The number of axes indicates the number of controlled motors.)
One FX
(The FX
-10GM can control one axis. One FX2N-20GM can control two axes.
2N
-20GM is equipped with linear/circular interpolation functions.)
2N
2) Positioning language
The positioning unit is equipped with a dedicated positioning language (cod instructions)
and sequence language (basic instructions and application instructions).
The FX
-10GM can perform position control using programs saved in the PLC main unit
2N
without using the dedicated positioning language. (This is called the table method.)
3) Manual pulse generator
Manual feed is enabled when a general-purpose manual pulse generator (open collector
type) is connected.
4) Absolute position (ABS) detection
Returning to the zero point at every startup can be saved when a servo amplifier equipped
with absolute position (ABS) detection fun ction is connected.
5) Connected PLC
Positioning data can be read/written when an FX
When an FX
Series PLC is connected, an FX
2NC
Series PLC is connected.
2N/2NC
-CNV-IF is required.
2NC
Also the positioning unit can independentl y operate without any PLCs.

•Make sure to shut down the power supplies of all phases on the out side before starting
installation or wiring.
If the power supplies are not shut down, you may get electrical shock or the unit may be
damaged.
Caution
•Units should not be installed in areas subject to the following conditions: e xcessive or
conductive dust, corrosive or flammable gas, moisture or rain, excessive heat, regular
impact shocks or excessive vibration.
•Take special care not to allow debris to fall inside the unit during installation e.g. cut
wires, shavings etc. Once installation is complete remove the protective paper band: to
prevent overheating.
General notes
•Always ensure that mounted units and blocks are kept as far as possible from high-voltage cables, high- voltage equipment and power equipment.
•Wiring cautions
•Do not run input signals in the same multicore cable as output signals or allow them to
share the same wire.
•Do not lay I/O signal cables next to power cables or allow them to share the same trunking duct. Low vol tage cab les should be reliab ly separat ed or insulated with r egard to high
voltage cabling.
•Where I/O signals lines are used over an extended distance consideration for voltage
drop and noise interference should be made.

48 I/O points can be added. (Accordingly, up to 64 points in total are available.) Extended inputs
and extended outputs are separately assigned from the one nearest to the FX

I/O extension connector:
The FX
-20GM can be connected to an FX

Series extension block (excluding the relay
2NC
output type) to extend general-purpose I/O points.
(Or the FX
output type via the FX
-20GM can be connected to an FX2N Series extension b loc k of t ransi stor or TRIAC
2N
-CNV-IF to extend general-purpose I/O points. The number of exten-

Remove the extension connector cover from the right side of the FX
and fit claws on an extension block into mounting hole in the FX

START
In ready status (while pulses are not output) in AUTO
mode, when START signal turns ON from OFF, start command is set and operation starts. This signal is reset by
stop command, m00 or m02.
Stop input
When STOP signal turns ON from OFF, stop command is
STOP
set and operation stops. Priority is given to STOP signal
over START, FWD and RVS signals.
Stop operation varies depending on setting (0 to 7) of
PARA. 23.
Mechanical zero point return start input (manual)
When ZRN signal turns ON from OFF, zero point return
ZRN
command is set and machine starts to return to zero
point. ZRN signal is reset when return to zero point is finished or stop command is given.
Normal rotation input (manual)
When FWD signal turns ON, positioning unit generates a
FWD
forward pulse of minimum command unit. When FWD signal remains ON for 0.1 sec or more, positioning unit generates continuous forward pulses.
Reverse rotation input (manual)
When RVS signal turns ON, positioning unit generates a
RVS
backward pulse of minimum command unit. When RVS
signal remains ON for 0.1 sec or more, positioning unit
generates continuous backward pulses.
