This manual contains text, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the correct installation and
operation of the FX
2N
-4AD 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, FX
2N
SERIES HARDWARE MANUAL .
•
The FX
2N
-4AD analog special function block has four input channels. The input channels receive analog signals
and convert them into a digital value. This is called an A/D conversion. The FX
2N
-4AD has maximum resolution of
12 bits.
•
The selection of voltage or current based input/output is by user wiring. Analog ranges of -10 to 10V DC (resolution:
5mV), and/or 4 to 20mA, -20 to 20mA(resolution: 20
µ
A) may be selected.
•
Data transfer between the FX
2N
-4AD and the FX
2N
main unit is by buffer memory exchange. There are 32 buffer
memories (each of 16 bits) in the FX
2N
-4AD.
•
The FX
2N
-4AD occupies 8 points of I/O on the FX
2N
expansion bus. The 8 points can be allocated from either inputs
or outputs. The FX
2N
-4AD draws 30mA from the 5V rail of the FX
2N
main unit or powered extension unit.
1.1 EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS
Weight : Approx. 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs)
Dimensions : mm (inches)
➀
The analog input is received through a twisted pair
shielded cable. This cable should be wired separately
from power lines or any other lines which may induce
electrical noise.
➁
If a voltage ripple occurs during input, or there is
electrically induced noise on the external wiring, connect a
smoothing capacitor of 0.1 to 0.47
µ
F, 25V.
➂
If you are using current input, connect the V+ and I+
terminals to each other.
➃
If there is excessive electrical noise, connect the FG frame
ground terminal with the grounded terminal on the
FX
2N
-4AD.
➄
Connect the ground terminal on the FX
2N
-4AD unit with the
grounded terminal on the main unit. Use class 3
grounding on the main unit, if available.

3.4 Allocation of buffer memories (BFM)
In buffer memory locations (BFMs)
marked with an “*” data can be written
from the PC using the TO command.
For buffer memories (BFMs) without “*”
mark, data can be read to the PC using
the FROM command.
Before reading from the analog special
function block, ensure these settings
have been sent to the analog special
function block. Otherwise, the previous
values held in the analog block will be
used.
The buffer memory also gives a facility
to adjust offset and gain by software.
Offset (intercept): The analog input
value when the digital output becomes 0.
Gain (slope): The analog input value
when the digital output b1000.
(1) Channel Selection
Channel initialization is made by a 4 character HEX number HOOOO in buffer memory BFM #0.
The least significant character controls channel 1 and the 4 character controls channel 4.
Setting of each character is as follows:
O = 0: Preset range (-10V to +10V)
O = 2: Preset range (-20mA to +20mA)
O = 1: Preset range (+4mA to +20mA)
O = 3: Channel OFF
Example: H3310
CH1: Preset range (-10V to +10V)
CH2: Preset range (+4mA to +20mA)
CH3, CH4: Channel OFF
(2) Analog to Digital Conversion Speed Change
By writing 0 or 1 into BFM #15 of the FX
2N
-4AD, the speed at which A/D conversion is performed can be changed.
However the following points should be noted:
To maintain a high speed conversion rate, use the FROM/TO commands as seldom as possible.
NOTES: When a conversion speed change is made, BFM #1-#4 are set to their default values immediately after the
change. This is regardless of the values they held originally. Bear this in mind if a speed change will be
made as part of the normal program execution.
(3) Adjusting Gain and Offset values
(a) When buffer memory BFM #20 is activated by setting it to K1, all settings within the analog special function
block are reset to their default settings. This is a very quick method to erase any undesired gain and offset
adjustments.
(b) If (b1, b0) of BFM #21 is set to (1,0), gain and offset adjustments are prohibited to prevent inadvertent changes
by the operator. In order to adjust the gain and offset values, bits (b1, b0) must be set to (0,1). The default is
(0,1).
(c) Gain and offset values of BFM #23 and #24 are sent to non-volatile memory gain and offset registers of the
specified input channels. Input channels to be adjusted are specified by the appropriate G-O (gain-offset) bits
of BFM #22
Example: If bits G1 and O1 are set to 1, input channel 1 will be adjusted when BFM #22 is written to by a TO
instruction.
(d) Channels can be adjusted individually or together with the same gain and offset values.
(e) Gain and offset values in BFM #23 #24 are in units of mV or
µ
A. Due to the resolution of the unit the actual
response will be in steps of 5mV or 20
µ
A.
