1. Introduction
The FX2N-10PG pulse generator block (Hereafter referred to as "FX2N-10PG" or "pulse generator block")
outputs pulses of 1MHz or less. It is a special function block to drive amplifiers for servo motors or stepper
motors. It is connected to an FX2N/FX2NC/FX3U/FX3UC series Programmable controller (Hereafter referred
to as "PLC") and used.
1.1 Features of the FX2N-10PG
1) Positioning control with a stepper motor or servo motor.
(1 FX2N-10PG can control 1 positioning axis.)
2) Can be connected to an FX2N/FX2NC/FX3U/FX3UC series PLC.
Data is read/written using FROM/TO instructions.
3) Pulses at up to 1MHz can be output.

2. System configuration
The FX2N-10PG connects on the right side of a PLC main unit or extension unit/block (including special
function blocks).
FX2N-10PG connects by extension cable from the PLC main unit.
(It is not possible to use the FX2N-10PG as a stand alone unit)
FX2N-10PG is a special function block. A special function unit number 0-7 is automatically assigned from
the PLC corresponding to its location on the communication.*1
(Specified by FROM/TO instruction)
The FX2N-10PG occupies eight points of I/O.
Refer to the hardware manual of the connected main unit
• Up to 8 FX2N-10PG can be connected to an FX2N/FX3U/FX3UC*2 series PLC.
Up to 4 units can be connected to an FX2NC series PLC.
• When connected to an FX2NC Series PLC, the FX2NC-CNV-IF is required.
When connected to an FX3UC Series PLC, the FX2NC-CNV-IF or FX3UC-1PS-5V is required.
• Optional cables FX0N-65EC or FX0N-30EC can be used to extend the distance from the host PLC.
Only one extension cable can be used per system.
*1 Because the special unit No.0 is assigned to the built-in CC-Link/LT master in the FX3UC-32MT-LT(-2),
unit numbers assigned to special units begin with No.1.
*2 Up to 7 units can be connected to the FX3UC-32MT-LT(-2) PLC.
