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.

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) (
➀
), and push it on the DIN rail.(
➁
)
When removing the FX
2N
-2LC, pull out downward the DIN rail mounting hook.(
➂
), and remove from DIN
rail.(
➃
)
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.
When attached to DIN rail
When removed from DIN rail
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
1N
/FX
2N
/FX
2NC
/FX
3U
extension unit and PLC.
•
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
-65EC can be used in one system.
