This section describes the outline of the programmable cam switch FX2N-1RM and introduces
the peripheral equipment.
1.1Outline of the product
The programmable cam switch FX2N-1RM (hereinafter referred to as FX2N-1RM or unit) detects
the rotation angle of a machine using a brushless resolver, and turns on/off up to 48 points of
transistor outputs at a programmed angle (position).
The basic function of the FX
on the next page. However, different from a mechanical cam switch, fine adjustment of the angle
of many cam discs assembled in the mechanism and replacement of switches are not required in
the FX
-1RM.

1 ) The angle can be detected with high precision even while a machine is rotating at high
speed.
2 ) One FX
connected at the end of the system and used as special units of an FX
programmable controller (hereinafter referred to as PLC).
(Refer to Paragraph 1.5 for details.)
3 ) When transistor output extension blocks for the FX
contact outputs are available. Up to 32 points can be turned on at one time. Up to 8 ON/OFF
operations (STEP0 to STEP7) are enabled at each point.
(Maximum speed: 830 r/min during direct output)
4 ) Operation angle setting and monitor display can be performed from the dedicated data
setting panel (integrated add-on type) or by FROM/TO instructions given by the PLC main
unit.
5 ) An EEPROM (no battery) is built in. Up to 8 types of programs can be saved.
6 ) A bank can be changed over, a program can be modified, and the automatic angle advance
quantity can be modified while the program is running.
7 ) The ladder support software for personal computers in the PLC and the FX-20P-E (both of
them are compatible with FX
8 ) The cable of the brushless resolver assembled in the machine can be extended up to 100 m
(3937 inch). (A relay cable of 5 m (196.85 inch) is offered as standard.)
9 ) The automatic angle advance function can compensate for the mechanical delay generated
while a machine is rotating at a high speed.

If a program is transferred while the parameters are not set as shown above, a parameter
mismatch error or program mismatch error occurs.
•Use a personal computer or the FX-20P-E only when FX2N-1RM is in PRG mode (halt condition).
The following may occur if they are used in RUN mode:
-FX2N-1RM is overloaded because the power is also supplies the peripheral equipment
and the FX
-Communication between the peripheral equipment and FX
-1RM stops.
2N
-1RM becomes very slow
2N
and a communication error takes place.
•When a program is transferred from a personal computer or the FX-20P-E, D1000 to D7143
correspond to BFM #1000 to BFM #7143, D7144 to D7145 correspond to BFM #0 to BFM
#1, and D7146 to D7159 correspond to BFM #13 to BFM #26.
At this time, the angle data and FNC instructions (FNC70 to 75, 90) among D1000 to D7159
are fixed to a double value (720 degrees/rotation) without regard to the setting of the
resolution (selected by the data setting panel or BFM #0 b6).
D7144 (BFM #0), D7146 (BFM #13) and D7148 (BFM #15) are treated by one time value.
Example
ON/OFF angle
At BFM #1000=100°, D1000 becomes 200.
FNC
When FNC 70 (BCD output) is set, D1000 becomes 2140. Continuing D1001
reaches twice value at strobing ON time.

OFF angles of S0 to S6.
