USER’S GUIDE
JY992D65401F
This manual contains text, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the correct installation
and operation of the FX2N-1HC special function block and should be read and understood before attempting
to install or use the unit.

1. INTRODUCTION
The hardware high-speed counter block is a 2-phase 50 kHz high-speed counter. It is a special function
block for the FX2N, FX
2NC
, FX3U, FX
3UC
series PLC.
• FROM/TO instruction transfers the PLC data (i.e. parameters, comparing value and present value).
• The FX2N-1HC occupies 8 points of I/O on the FX2N, FX
2NC
, FX3U, FX
3UC
expansion bus. The 8 points
can be allocated from either inputs or outputs.
• Differential-Line-Driver (AM26C31 or equivalent) and open collector output encoders are available for
FX2N-1HC.
• The source of your input signal should be a 1 or 2 phase encoder. A 5V, 12V, or 24V power source can
be used. An initial value setting command input (PRESET) and a count prohibit command input (DISABLE) are also available.
• The FX
2N
-1HC has two outputs. When the counter value coincides with an output compare value, the
appropriate output is set ON. The output transistors are individually isolated to allow either sink or
source connection methods.
• Various counter modes, such as 1-phase or 2-phase, 16-bit or 32-bit modes, can be selected using
commands from the PLC. Allow the FX
2N
-1HC unit to run only after setting these mode parameters.

• Use crimp terminals of the dimensions specified in the left figure.
• Secure the terminals using a tightening torque of 0.5 to 0.8 Nxm
• Wire only to the module terminals discussed in this manual.
Leave all others vacant.

Counting
specification
Form at
Automatic UP/DOWN (however, when on 1-phase 1-input mode, UP/DOWN is
determined by a PLC command or an input terminal.)
Range
When 32-bit is specified : -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647
When 16-bit is specified : 0 to 65,535 (upper limit can be user specified)
Comparison
Ty p e
Each output is set when the present value of the counter matches with the
compare value (which is transferred from the PLC), and is switched OFF by a
reset command from the PLC.
YH : Direct output processed by hardware.
YS : Software processed output with worst delay time of 30
(Therefore, when the input frequency is 50 kHz, there is a worst case delay of
15 input pulses.)
