USER’S GUIDE
JY992D74901D
This manual contains text, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the correct installation
and operation of the FX2N-2DA special function block and should be read and understood before
attempting to install or use the unit.
Further information can be found in the FX SERIES PROGRAMMING MANUAL(ΙΙ), FX0N/FX1N/FX2N/
FX2NC SERIES HARDWARE MANUAL of each PLC.
1. INTRODUCTION
The FX2N-2DA type analog output block (hereafter referred to as the FX2N-2DA) is used to convert a
digital value of 12 bits into an analog output of two points (voltage and current output), and to forward the
values to the Programmable Controller (hereafter referred to as a PLC).
FX2N-2DA can connected to the FX0N, FX1N, FX2N, and the FX2NC series Programmable Controllers.
1) The analog output is selected from the voltage or current output by the method of connecting wires.
At this time, assume setting to be two channels common analog output.
2) The two analog output channels can accept outputs of 0 to 10V DC, 0 to 5V DC, or 4 to 20mA.
(A mixture of voltage/current output is possible.)
3) Resolution is 2.5mV (0 to 10V DC) and 4µA(4 to 20mA).
4) The digital to analog conversion characteristics can be adjusted.
5) The block occupies 8 I/O points which can be allocated from either the inputs or outputs.
6) The data transfer with the PLC uses the FROM/TO instructions.

4. CONNECTION WITH PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER
1) The FX2N-2DA and main unit are connected by a cable on the right of the main unit.
2) Up to 4 FX
2N
-2DA units can connect to the FX
0N
series PLC, up to 5 for FX
1N,
up to 8 for FX
2N
or, up to
4 for the FX
2NC
series PLC, all with powered extension units.
However the following limitation exists when the undermentioned special function blocks are connected.
FX2N: Main unit and powered extension units of 32 points I/O or less. Consumption current available
for undermentioned special function blocks ≤ 190mA
FX2N: Main unit and powered extension units of I/O 48 points or more. Consumption current available
for undermentioned special function blocks ≤ 300mA
FX2NC: Up to 4 undermentioned special function blocks can be connected regardless of the system I/O.
FX0N/1N: Main unit and powered extension units. Up to 2 undermentioned special function blocks can be
connected regardless of the system I/O.
The consumption of the above units is to be subtracted from the service power supply of the host
PLC.
3) The blocks occupies 8 I/O points (the 8 points can be allocated from either inputs or outputs).
4) FX2N-2DA consumes 5V DC 30mA.
The total 5V consumption of all special function blocks connected to either an FX2N, FX2NC main unit
or an FX2N extension unit must not exceed the 5V source capacity of the system.

7. ADJUSTMENT OF OFFSET AND GAIN
7.1 Change in output characteristic
At shipment, 0 to 4000 range is selected for 0 to 10V DC output.
When using an FX2N-2DA for current or differing voltage output except 0 to 10V DC, it is necessary to
readjust the offset and gain.
The output characteristic can be set for each of the two channels.
Set analog values within the range specified in the table below when changing the output characteristic.
Range of output characteristic
Resolution changes depending on the set value when the output characteristic changes accordingly.
Example: Resolution becomes (5 - 0V)/4000=1.25mV at voltage output 0 to 5V/0 to 4000.
Integrated accuracy does not change. (Voltage output: ± 0.1V, Current output: ± 0.16mA)
The adjustment of the offset and gain values sets a digital equivalent to the analog data.
(The “POT” requires 18 revolutions to move between MIN and MAX setting.)
*1 The analog value increases if the volume is turned clockwise.
7.1.1 Adjustment of gain
The gain value can be set to an arbitrary digital value.
However, using the maximum of 12bit resolution provides the user with a full scale analog value.
7.1.2 Adjustment of offset
The offset value in the case of voltage output is 0V. The offset value in the case of current output is 4mA.
However, the offset value can be minutely adjusted if necessary. Set the following when minute
adjustments are necessary.
For instance, when a digital range of 0 to 4000 is used with the analog range of 0 to 10V, a digital value of
40 is equal to an analog output of 100mV, (40 × 10V/4000 digital points). When a digital range of 0 to 4000
is used with the analog range of 4 to 20mA, a digital value of 0 is equal to an analog output of 4mA.
1) Adjust the offset and gain respectively for CH1 and CH2.
2) Repeat offset and gain adjustments until a stable value is obtained.
3) Adjust the gain before the offset.
Voltage output Current output
Analog value when digital value is 0 0 to 1V 4mA
Analog value when digital value is 4000 5 to 10V 20mA
