1. Introduction
2NC
The FX
-4DA analog output block (hereafter referred to as "FX
converts 4 digital values (from the PLC mai n unit) into analog o utput values
(voltage or current).
2NC
The FX
-4DA can be connected to the FX
1) Each analog output channel can be con figured for voltage output, or c urrent
output. The output mode must be set using the TO instruction and the
appropriate connection meth od.
A different analog output can be selected for each channel .
2) The voltage output ranges from -10 to 10 V. The current output ranges from
4 to 20 mA and from 0 to 20 mA. The output cha racteristics can be adjusted
for each channel.
3) The resolution is 5 mV (10 V × 1/2000) when the voltage output i s used, 20
µA (20 mA × 1/1000 ) when the current output is used.
4) Data transfer with the PLC is performed via the buffer memories of the
2NC

[BFM #0] Output mode select
The value of BFM #0 switches the analog output between voltage and current
for each channel. It takes the form of a 4 digit hexadecimal number. The first
digit will be the command for channe l 1 (CH1), and the second digit for channel
2 (CH2) etc. The numeric values of these four digits respectively represent the
following items :
H
Switching the output mode resets the I/O character istics to the factory-default
characteristics. Refer to the pe rformance specifications d escribed in section 5 .

While the programmable controller is in the STOP mode, the last output value in
the RUN mode will be held. To reset the value to the offset value, write the
hexadecimal value in BFM #5 as follows:

[BFM #8 and #9] Off set/gain setting command
Changes offset and gain values of channel s CH1 to CH4 by wr iting 1 to the

[BFM #10 to #17] Off set/gain data
The offset and gain values ar e changed by writing new data to BFM #10 to #17.
The units of the data to be written are mV or µA. T he data should be wr itten and
then BFM #8 and #9 set. Note that the data value will be rounded down to the
nearest 5mV or 20µ A.
[BFM #20] Initialize
When K1 is written in BF M #20, all values will be retur ned to the factory-default.
(Note that the BFM #2 0 data will override the BFM #21 data.)
This initialize function i s convenient if you have an error in adjustment .
[BFM #21] I/O characte ristics adjustment in hibit
Setting BFM #21 to K2 inhibits the user from inadvertent adjustment of I/O
characteristics. The adjustment inhibit function, once set, will be valid until the
Permit command (BFM #21= K1) is set. The initial value is K1 (Perm it). The set
value will be retained even after power-OFF.

[BFM #30] Identificat ion code
The identific ation code for a special function block is read using the FROM
instruction. The identification code for the FX
unit can use this facility in the p rogram to identi fy the special fu nction block
before commencing any data trans fers from and to the special func tion block.
Note:
Values of BFM #0, #5, and #21, are stored in the EEPROM memory of the
2NC
FX
-4DA. BFM #10 to #17 are copied to EEPROM when the gain/offset
setting command BFM #8, #9 is used. Also, BFM #20 causes the resetting of
the EEPROM memory. The EEPROM has a life of about 10,000 cycles
(changes), so do not use programs which frequent ly change these BFMs.
A mode change of BFM #0 automatically involves a c hange of the
corresponding offset and gain values. Because of the time needed to write the
new values to the internal EEPROM memo ry, a delay of 3 s is required between
instructions changing BFM #0 and instructions writing to the cor responding
BFM #10 through BFM #17.
Therefore, a delay timer should be used before writin g to BFM #10 through #17.
(Refer to chapter 9.)

If the factory-default I/ O characteristics ar e not changed and the status
information is not us ed, you can operate the FX
simple program. For the FROM and TO instructions, refer to the FX
Programming Manual (II).
CH1 and CH2 : Vol tage output mode (-10 V to 10 V)
CH3 : Current output mode (4 mA to 20 mA)
CH4 : Current output mode (0 mA to 20 mA)
7.1 Operation proced ure
1) Tur n OFF the power of the PLC, and then connect the FX
wards, wire the I/O lines of the FX
2) Set the PLC to STOP, and turn O N the power. Write the above program
then switch the PLC to RUN.
3) Analog values will be sent from D0 (BFM #1), D1 (BFM #2), D2 (BFM
#3), and D3 (BFM #4) to the respective output channels of the FX
4DA. When the PLC is in STOP, the analog values set before stopping
the PLC will remain output . (The output will be hel d.)
4) When the PLC is in STOP, the offset values can also be output. For a
detailed description, refer to Section 6).
7.2 Program example
In the example shown below, CH1 and CH2 in the FX
to the special function block No. 0, are handled as the voltage ou tput, CH3
is handled as the current output (4 to 20 mA), CH4 is handled as the
current output (0 to 20 mA), and these outputs are held when the PLC is
stopped. In the example shown below, the status information is utilized.
