Cautions on Safety
(Make sure to read this paragraph before using the unit.)

Thoroughly read this manual, a separate USER’S MANUAL and all attached documents of the connected
programmable controller (hereafter referred to as "PLC") and other related units before starting installation, 
operation and inspection/maintenance of the temperature control block. Acquire the knowledge on 
equipment, the information on safety and all cautions before using the temperature control block.
In this instruction manual, cautions on safety are classified as "DANGER" or "CAUTION".

This symbol indicates that incorrect handling may generate a dangerous situation which may lead
to death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates that incorrect handling may generate a dangerous situation which may lead
to medium or minor injury or physical damage.

Even an item classified as "CAUTION" may lead to a severe result depending on the situation.
Each item describes important information. Make sure to observe each item marked with "DANGER" or
"CAUTION".
Carefully store the instruction manual offered together with the temperature control block so that the 
operator can refer to it at any time necessary. Make sure to deliver the instruction manual to the end user.

We appreciate it very much that you have purchased the temperature control block FX

When you using the FX

2N

-2LC for the first time, a separate FX

2N

-2LC USER’S MANUAL is required.

Make sure to obtain the USER’S MANUAL from the dealer from which you have purchased the FX

-

2LC, and safely use the FX

2N

-2LC.

1. Outline of Product

Cautions on design

Install a safety circuit outside the PLC so that the entire system conservatively operates even if
an abnormality occurs in the external power supply or a failure occurs in the PLC.
If the safety circuit is installed inside the PLC, malfunction and erroneous output may cause
accidents.
Make sure to construct an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, interlock circuit to prevent
damage to a machine or instrument outside the PLC.

When the PLC or FX

2N

-2LC detects an abnormality such as a watch dog timer error or input

value error by the self-diagnosis circuit, and all outputs turn off. When an abnormality occurs in
the I/O control area which cannot be detected by the CPU in the PLC, output control may be
disabled.
Design external circuits and the structure so that the entire system conservatively operates in
such cases.

When a failure occurs in a relay, transistor, triac, etc. in the FX

2N

-2LC or output unit of PLC,

outputs may keep ON or OFF.
For output signals which may lead to severe accidents, design external circuits and the struc-
ture so that the entire system conservatively operates.

Caution on disposal

When disposing of the unit, treat it as industrial waste.

The temperature control block FX

2N

-2LC (hereafter referred to as "temperature control block" or "FX

2N

-2LC")

equipped with two temperature input points and two transistor (open collector) output points is a special
block to control outputs of temperature inputs from thermocouples and platinum resistance thermometer
bulbs by PID control.
Connect the FX

2N

-2LC to the FX

1N

/FX

2N

/FX

2NC

/FX

3U

 Series PLC.

1) As input sensors, two thermocouples, two platinum resistance thermometer bulbs or one thermocouple

and one platinum resistance thermometer bulb are available.

2) Data can be read and written using FROM/TO instructions when the FX

2N

-2LC is connected to the

FX

1N

/FX

2N

/FX

2NC

/FX

3U

 Series PLC.

(The FX

2N

-2LC performs arithmetic operation for PID control and output control. The PLC does not

have to perform such control.)

3) Disconnection of heaters can be detected by current detection.

4) The proportional band, the integral time and the derivative time can be easily set by auto tuning.

5) Channels are isolated from each other.

3. Installation Method

Cautions on installation

Use the unit in the environment for the general specifications described in the manual.
Never use the unit in a place with dust, soot, conductive dust, corrosive gas or flammable gas,
a place exposed to high temperature, dew condensation or rain and wind or a place exposed
to vibration or impact.
If the unit is used in such a place, electrical shock, fire, malfunction, damage in the product or
deterioration of the product may be caused.

Never drop cutting chips or electric wire chips into the ventilation window of the FX

2N

-2LC

while drilling screw holes or wiring cables.
Such chips may cause fire, failure or malfunction.

After finishing installation, remove a dust preventing sheet adhered on the ventilation window
of the PLC and the FX

2N

-2LC.

If the sheet remains attached, fire, failure or malfunction may be caused.

Securely connect connection cables such as extension cables and memory cassettes to specified
connectors.
Imperfect contact may cause malfunction.

The FX

2N

-2LC can be installed on the right side of an FX

1N

/FX

2N

/FX

2NC

/FX

3U

 Series PLC main unit or

extension unit.
The FX

2N

-2LC can be attached with a DIN rail DIN46277 (width: 35 mm) or directly attached to a panel

surface with screws (M4).

3.1 Installation on DIN rail

Align the upper side of the DIN rail mounting groove of the FX

2N

-2LC with a DIN rail DIN46277 (width: 35

mm) (

), and push it on the DIN rail.(

)

When removing the FX

2N

-2LC, pull out downward the DIN rail mounting hook.(

), and remove from DIN

rail.(

)

3.2 Direct installation on panel surface

Screw-tighten the FX

2N

-2LC with M4 screws to a panel surface using two (upper and lower) mounting

holes provided on the left side of the FX

2N

-2LC.

Assure the interval of 1 to 2 mm between a unit or block installed on the left side of the FX

2N

-2LC.

4. Connection to PLC Main Unit

Connect the FX

2N

-2LC to the PLC main unit with an extension cable.

FX

2N

-2LC units are treated as special units of the PLC, and the special unit No. 0 to 7 is automatically

assigned to each FX

2N

-2LC unit from the one nearest to the PLC main unit. (These unit Nos. are used in

FROM/TO instructions.)
One FX

2N

-2LC unit occupies eight I/O points in the PLC main unit.

For the details of I/O assignment in the PLC, refer to the manual of the PLC main unit.

Please check power supply specifications to decide the number of FX

2N

-2LC units that can be connected 

to the FX

To connect the FX

2N

-2LC unit to the FX

2NC

 Series PLC, the interface FX

2NC

-CNV-IF is required.

For extension, an extension cable FX

0N

-65EC (650 mm) and the FX

2N

-CNV-BC sold separately are 

required. Only one FX

0N
