Introduction

1.1

Product outline

Introduction 1

FX2N-10PG Pulse Output Block (hereafter abbreviated as FX2N-10PG, Pulse Output Block or
PGU) is a special block to output a maximum 1MHz pulse array and drive a single-axis
stepping motor or servo motor.
1) FX2N-10PG controls the positioning operation of one single-axis stepping motor or servo
motor per unit.
2) FX2N or FX2NC Series PLC is connected to read and write the data with FROM/TO
commands.
3) A pulse array of max. 1MHz can be output. (Differential line driver output)

Cautions regarding design

To make sure the entire system operates safely even when problems such as a faulty
external power supply, PLC, or FX 2N-10PG Pulse Output Block occurs, provide safety
circuits outside the PLC and FX2N-10PG Pulse Output Block.
Otherwise, improper operation or wrong output may cause an accident.
1) The emergency stop circuit, protective circuit, interlock circuit against machine breakage,
etc. must be provided as circuits outside the PLC and FX2N-10PG.
2) If the PLC or FX2N-10PG Pulse Output Block detects any problem using the selfdiagnosis function for the watchdog timer errors and input value errors, or if any trouble
occurs in the input/output control area, etc. which cannot be detected by the PLC CPU,
output control may sometimes become impossible.Be sure to design the external circuits
and mechanisms to operate the machine safely in such cases.
3) If any relay, transistor, triac, etc. in the output unit of the FX2N-10PG Pulse Output Block
or PLC malfunctions, the output may sometimes be kept on or off.
Design the external circuits and mechanisms to operate the machine safely regarding
output signals which may lead to a serious accident.

Cautions regarding disposal

When disposing of the product, handle it as industrial waste.

Install a safety circuit outside the FX2N-10PG so that the entire system conservatively
operates even if an abnormality occurs in the external power supply or a failure occurs in
the FX2N-10PG.
1) Make sure to construct an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, interlock circuit for
reverse operations such as normal rotation and reverse rotation and interlock circuit to
prevent damages of a machine for upper limit/lower limit, etc. outside the FX2N-10PG.
2) When the CPU in the detects an abnormality such as a watch dog timer error by the selfdiagnosis circuit, all outputs turn off. When an abnormality occurs in the I/O control area
which cannot be detected by the CPU in the FX2N-10PG, output control may be disabled.
Design external circuits and the structure so that the entire system conservatively
operates in such cases.
3) Do not lay signal cable near to high voltage power cable or house them in the same
trunking duct. Effects of noise or surge induction may occur. Keep signal cables a safe
distance of more than 100 mm (4) from these power cables.
4) Where output signal lines are used over an extended distance consideration for voltage
drop and noise interference should be made.
5) Fix cables so that any stress is not directly applied on the terminal block or the cable
connection area.
6) When a failure occurs in a transistor etc. in the FX2N-10PG, outputs may keep ON or
OFF.
For output signals which may lead to severe accidents, design external circuits and the
structure so that the entire system conservatively operates.
Make sure to shut down the power supplies of all phases on the outside before starting
installation or wiring.
If the power supplies are not shut down, you may get electrical shock or the unit may be
damaged.
Never touch any terminals while the power is supplied.
If you touch a terminal while the power is supplied, you may get electrical shock or the
unit may malfunction.
Turn off the power at first, then start cleaning or tighten terminals.
If you perform cleaning or tightening while the power is supplied, you may get electrical
shock.
For pairs of inputs such as forward/reverse contacts which would pose a hazard if turned
ON simultaneously, provide external interlocks, in addition to interlocks in the program
inside the positioning unit, to ensure that they cannot be turned ON simultaneously.

Details of BFM

7.2.1

BFM#1, #0 Maximum speed

Buffer memory (BFM) 7

The upper limit of the speed in each operation mode.

Set the bias speed (BFM#2), jog speed (BFM#3, #4), zero return speed (high speed) (BFM#5,
#6), zero return speed (creep) (BFM#7), operation speed (BFM#15, #16) and operation
speed (BFM#19, #20) to be less than the maximum speed.
The setting unit varies as "system unit" (BFM#36) is set.
Here, the inclination of ac-/deceration is determined depending on the maximum speed, bias
speed (BFM#2), acceleration time (BFM#11) and deceleration time (BFM#12).
7.2.2

BFM#2 Bias speed

The start speed.
If it is used in combination with FX2N-10PG and stepping motor, set the speed, considering the
resonant area and self-start frequency.
The inclination of the ac-/deceleration is determined depending on the settings of the
maximum speed, bias speed, acceleration time and deceleration time.

7.2.3

BFM#4, #3 Jog speed

The speed during manual forward/reverse (JOG+/JOG-) operation.
Set the jog speed in the range between the bias speed (BFM#2) and maximum speed
(BFM#0, #1).
(Maximum speed > Jog speed > Bias speed)
When the jog speed is set at the maximum speed or more, it is operated at the maximum
speed, and if the jog speed is at the bias speed or less, it is operated at the bias speed.
When operation speed change (BFM#26 b10) is allowed (OFF), the speed during jog
operation can be changed.

7.2.4

BFM#6, #5 Zero return speed (high speed)

The high return speed during machine zero return operation.
Set the zero return speed (high speed) in the range between the bias speed (BFM#2) and
maximum speed (BFM#0, #1).
When operation speed change (BFM#26 b10) is allowed (OFF), the speed during zero return
operation can be changed.

7.2.5

BFM#7 Zero return speed (creep)

The speed is set for slow-speed operation after input of the near-point signal (DOG) during
machine zero return operation.
To improve the precision of the zero position, set to be as slow as possible.
When operation speed change (BFM#26 b10) is allowed (OFF), the speed during zero return
operation can be changed.

7.2.6

BFM#8 Zero-point signal number

The number of zero-point signals from dog input ON or OFF (the count timing is set with
BFM#36) to the stop is set.
The zero-point signal is counted when the leading edge is detected.
When the setting value is "0", it is immediately stopped if the dog input is turned to ON or OFF.
At this time, it is immediately stopped from the zero return speed (BFM#6, #5).
If a machine may be broken due to immediate stop, the value can be set to stop the machine
after the safety speed is gained at the creep speed (BFM#7).

Model FX2N-10PG Pulse Output Block

7.2.7

Buffer memory (BFM) 7

BFM#10, #9 Zero-point address

The address of the current value at the completion time of zero return operation is set.
When the zero return operation is completed, the value is written at the current address
(BFM#40, #39).
Here, the user unit (BFM#36) is selected, and the value which also includes the magnification
(BFM#36) of the position data is selected.

7.2.8

BFM#11 Acceleration time

The time from the bias speed (BFM#2) to the maximum speed (BFM#1, #0).
The inclination of the acceleration is determined depending on the bias speed (BFM#2),
maximum speed (BFM#1, #0) and acceleration time.
The settable range is 1 to 5000ms.
It is operated at 1ms for 0ms or less, and at 5000ms for 5001ms or more.
To use an approx. S-shaped ac-/deceleration control, set 64ms or more.

7.2.9

BFM#12 Deceleration time

The time from the maximum speed (BFM#1, #0) to the bias speed (BFM#2).
The inclination of the deceleration is determined depending on the bias speed (BFM#2),
maximum speed (BFM#1, #0) and deceleration time.
The settable range is 1 to 5000ms.
It is operated at 1ms for 0ms or less, and at 5000ms for 5001ms or more.
To use an approx. S-shaped ac-/deceleration control, set 64ms or more.

7.2.10

BFM#14, #13 Target address

The target position (absolute address) or travel distance (relative address) in each operation
mode is set.
When the absolute address is used, the positioning operation is done to the target position
specified referring to the current address (BFM#39, #40). At this time, the rotation direction is
determined depending on the relationship whether the current address is larger or smaller than
the target address.
When the relative address is used, the positioning operation is done only by the travel distance
referring to the current work position.
At this time, the rotation direction is determined depending on the symbol of the target
address.
Here, the user unit (BFM#36) is selected, and the value which also includes the magnification
(BFM#36) of the position data is selected.

7.2.11

BFM#16, #15 Operation speed

The practical operation speed in each operation mode.
Set the operation speed in the range between the bias speed (BFM#2) and maximum speed
(BFM#0, #1).
(Maximum speed > Operation speed / > Bias speed)
If the operation speed is set at the maximum speed or more, it will operate at the maximum
speed. When the operation speed is set at the bias speed or less, it will operate at the bias
speed.
When operation speed change (BFM#26 b10) is allowed (OFF), the speed during positioning
operation can be changed.

The target position (absolute address) or travel distance (relative address) in the 2nd-speed
positioning operation is set.
When the absolute address is used, the positioning operation is done to the target position
specified referring to the current address (BFM#39, #40).
When the relative address is used, the positioning operation is done only by the travel distance
specified from the 1st speed target address.
Here, the user unit (BFM#36) is selected, and the value which also includes the magnification
(BFM#36) of the position data is selected.

Detection timing
Level detection : Effective while each bit is ON or OFF.
Edge detection : The change of OFF or ON is detected to start the operation.
Priority sequence of start flag and stop flag
In each operation mode, the STOP command during operation is always valid, and is prior
to forward jog, reverse jog and start.
When the STOP command is ON, FX 2N -10PG stops deceleration. When the START
command is turned ON, the remaining-distance operation or next positioning operation is
started. (Selection with BFM36 b15)
However, If forward jog (BFM#26 b4)/reverse jog (BFM#26 b5) is ON during jog operation,
the jog operation will be restarted when the STOP command is turned OFF.
ON/OFF process of each flag
If ON or OFF is written into each flag, the state will be held until the power supply of FX2N10PG is turned off.
Level detection is executed/stopped by writing ON/OFF.
Moreover, for edge detection, be sure to produce such a sequence program as each bit is
turned OFF after the assigned operation is executed by turning ON each bit.
(Unless each bit is turned OFF, the operation of 2nd time or following will be impossible.)
Forward limit (b2) and reverse limit (b3)
When the forward/reverse limit (BFM#26 b2, b3) is turned ON, deceleration and stop will be
applied, and it will not be possible to travel in the direction of the limit switch which is turned
ON.
To drive away from the limit switch, use jog commands or a manual pulse generator in the
required direction.
Deceleration stop
However, immediate stop is
applied during manual pulse

Concept of mechanical system unit

When BFM#36 a(b1, b0) is set at (0,1), (1,0) or (1,1), it is processed in the mechanical system
unit of mm, deg or inch. Though there is at this time no buffer memory to select the unit from
mm, deg or inch, it is thought that the position data and speed data used in the feed rate
(BFM#35, #34) parameter (BFM#36) in the positioning program are all the same unit.
Therefore, even though a unit is used for setting, the pulse output of the same amount can be
gained if the setting value is the same.

Travel

The gradient of ac-/deceleration is determined by the maximum speed, bias speed,

acceleration time and deceleration time.
Trapezoidal control or approximate S-shaped control (approximate S-shaped ac-/
deceleration control) is selected with the parameter (BFM#36 b11).
A difference of 64ms is generated on the positioning operation completion time between
trapezoidal control and approximate S-shaped control. The travel is the same.
For approximate S-shaped control, set the acceleration time (BFM#11) and deceleration
time (BFM#12) at 64ms or more (64 to 5000).
Jog speed, operation speed , operation speed , zero return speed (high speed) and zero
return speed (creep), are operated at the bias speed when 0Hz is set for the applied speed
data.
The minimum value for the bias speed is 1Hz.
8.1.2

STOP command process

In each operation mode, STOP command during operation is valid at all times.
The STOP switch is wired to the input terminal of the PLC, ON/OFF is written into b1 of
BFM#26 with the program (TO command) of the PLC.
When STOP command (BFM#26 b1) is turned ON, FX2N-10PG will decelerate and stop.
When it is restarted, the operation remaining distance (it travels the remaining distance of the
positioning operation to which STOP is input) or the positioning end (the positioning operation
to which STOP is input is ended, and the next positioning operation is newly started) is
selected according to the setting of parameter (BFM#36, b15).
However, when the command of forward jog (BFM#26 b4)/reverse jog (BFM#26 b5) is ON
during jog operation, the jog operation starts again when the STOP command is turned OFF.

Forward/reverse limits
FX2N-10PG does not name inputs for the forward/reverse limit switches. The switches should
be connected to the PLC, the bits b2 (forward limit) and b3 (reverse limit) of BFM#26 are
turned ON or OFF with these inputs. For safety, the limit switches should be wired to both the
PLC and the servo amplifier.
In the example below the limit switches to the PLC are made to activate slightly earlier than
those to the servo amplifier.

Since such terminals are not provided on the drive amplifier for the stepping motor, be sure
to provide the terminals in the PLC.
When the forward/reverse limit (BFM#26 b2, b3) is turned ON, deceleration and stop will be
applied, and it will not be possible to travel in the direction of the limit switch which is turned
ON.
To drive away from the limit switch, use jog commands or a manual pulse generator in the
required direction.

Cautions for use of mechanical system/compound system units

Error of output pulse amount
When the pulse rate (BFM#33, #32), feed rate (BFM#35, #34) and relative travel distance
are designated A, B and C respectively, C (A/B) expresses the pulse amount which is
output from FX2N-10PG.
If C (A/B) is an integer even though (A/B) is not an integer, a command error will not occur.
However, if C (A/B) is not an integer, an integrated error will occur in the current address
when the relative travel is repeated for operation. Moreover, though an error of less than one
pulse occurs during the absolute address operation because of the rounding process of a
fractional number, an integrated error will not occur.
However, such an integrated error does not occur when the motor system unit is used.
Limitation of output pulse frequency
The following relationship is present between the motor system unit and mechanical system
unit, and is automatically converted.
Pulse rate (BFM#33, #32) 104
Speed command

= Speed command (Hz) 60

cm/min, 10deg/min, inch/min
Feed rate (BFM#35, #34)

When setting the speed data in the mechanical system unit, set a pulse-converted value in
the range of 1 to 1,000,000Hz.

Forward pulses are output for forward jog.

Reverse pulses are output for reverse jog.
When ON time of the forward/reverse jog (BFM#26 b4, b5) is less than 300ms, a pulse
chain which is equivalent to +/- (user unit) at the current address is output.
When ON time of the forward/reverse jog (BFM#26 b4, b5) is 300ms or more, a pulse chain
is continuously output.
Deceleration stop is applied by turning OFF the forward/reverse jog (BFM#26 b4,b5).
Deceleration stop is applied when jog operation is executed in the opposite direction during
forward or reverse jog operation.
Deceleration stop is applied when the forward/reverse limit (BFM#26 b2, b3) is turned ON.
When the forward/reverse limit has been reached, the work can be driven away using the

Zero return completed flag

When a series of operations are completed, CLR signal (20 to 30ms) is output. The value of
the zero point address is written into the current address, and the zero return completion
(BFM#28 b3) is turned ON.
The zero return completed flag is reset with the zero return command, data set type zero
return command or power shutdown.

8.3.7

Change of zero return speed

The zero return speed (high speed) and zero return speed (creep) can be changed at any
time.
However, a change can not be received when the speed change disable (BFM#26 b10) during
operation is ON.

8.3.8

Data set type zero return

In the data set type zero return mode, the work does not move, and the zero return process is
applied on the spot.
On equipment that does not use a dog switch, or a transfer line without a mechanical zero
point, the zero return process is done on the spot by turning ON the data set type zero return
command (BFM#26 b7) after moving the work to a desired position in the jog mode.
CLR signal (20 to 30ms) is output at the leading edge of the data set type zero return
command (BFM#26 b7), the value of the zero point address is written into the current address,
and the zero return completion (BFM#28 b3) is turned ON.

The positioning complete flag (BFM#28 b6) is reset with START input, START command
(BFM#26 b9), forward jog (BFM#26 b4), reverse jog (BFM#26 b5), zero return (BFM#26 b6),
data set type zero return (BFM#26 b7), variable-speed operation, manual pulse generator
input operation or power shutdown, and is turned ON when the target address is reached.
However, it is not reset with START input or START command when the travel is 0.
(When OFF before start of positioning, the flag is turned ON.)
When positioning operation is stopped with STOP command, the positioning completed flag
(BFM#28 b6) is not turned ON.
If the STOP command is received in the deceleration process to the target address, the
work is stopped when it arrives at the target address as the gradient of the deceleration is
the same.
At this time, the positioning complete flag (BFM#28 b6) is not turned ON.

Table operation

8.9.1

Outline of table operation

Operation pattern 8

In FX2N-10PG, the program of positioning control can be produced with a table.

When the table operation is used, continuous operation (multi-speed operation) and positionto-speed operation (the work is de-/accelerated to stop at a desired position) become possible.
One positioning operation per table can be registered. (The number of tables are 200 points
from No. 0 to 199.)
One table is given four attributes of position information (target address), speed information
(operation speed), m code information and operation information.
The buffer memory of FX2N-10PG is used as the storage destination of the information.
The assignment of the buffer memory and positioning table number is fixed, BFM#100 through
BFM#1299 are assigned to the table numbers of No. 0 through 199. When the positioning data
and operation pattern table operation (BFM#27 b5) are selected to the assigned buffer
memory with TO commands from the PLC, positioning operation is started according to the
written information from the table set with the table start number (BFM#98) if START (BFM#26
b9) is turned ON.
- Position information
The target address is set.
Absolute address and relative address can be set.
- Speed information
The operation speed is set.
During operation, the speed information can be changed and the speed can be
changed with an override.
- m code information
No m code : 1
m code, AFTER mode (ON when positioning complete) : 0 through 999
m code, WITH mode (ON during positioning)
: 1000 through 32,767
m code during continuous operation
If m code of with mode is instructed to the position-to-speed and continuous operation,
a series of continuous operation is done and m code output is sequentially switched
even though the m code OFF command is input.
(m codes which are previously turned on are automatically turned off.)

JMP

Positioning operation jumps to the table No. which is set in the

position information.

- If any m code is used in the after mode during continuous operation, the continuous
operation will be interrupted at the time.
- When a series of continuous operations with m codes are ended and are shifted to the
positioning operation which is registered in the step-advance operation, m code OFF
command must be consistent with START command (START input or BFM#26 b9).
- START signal is necessary to end the step-advance operation and shift to the positioning
operation in which the continuous operation and position-to-speed operation are
registered. (When m code is used, m code OFF command is also necessary.)
- When positioning is shifted from continuous operation to position-to-speed operation or
is on the contrary shifted from position-to-speed operation to continuous operation, it will
be automatically shifted after deceleration and stopping. (When any m code of the after
code is not used and when a m code of the after mode is used, it will wait for m code
OFF command.)

When the variable-speed operation (BFM#27 b6) operation pattern is selected, the work is
accelerated to operation speed (BFM#16, #15), and the operation is started.
It is not necessary to turn ON target address (BFM#14, #13) and START (BFM#26 b9).
When operation speed is changed, the acceleration/deceleration is applied according to
the acceleration time (BFM#11) or deceleration time (BFM#12) in order to change to the
speed of operation speed .
(The operation speed can not be changed when the speed change disable (BFM#26 b10)
during operation is ON.)
When operation speed is 0, the work is decelerated and stopped.
The positioning complete flag (BFM#28 b6) is not turned ON.
8.10.2

Operation speed
The actual operation speed is expressed as [Actual operation speed = Operation speed

Operation pattern 8

Rotation direction
The rotation direction is determined depending on whether the operation speed (BFM#16,
#15) is positive or negative.
When operation speed is positive, the current value is increased.
When operation speed is negative, the current value is decreeased.
Caution:
If the rotation direction is rapidly changed, the machine may be broken.
Also, it is estimated that it will cause an error resulting from the overload of the motor. Therefore,
to change the rotation direction, be sure to set operation speed at "0", provide time for the
motor to sufficiently stop after deceleration and stopping, and change the rotation direction.
If the value of operation speed is changed from positive to negative (Example: 100 -100) on
FX2N-10PG, reverse rotation is immediately applied after deceleration and stop.

8.10.4

STOP command
When STOP command (BFM#26 b1) is turned ON, the work is decelerated and stopped.
When STOP command (BFM#26 b1) is turned OFF, the work is accelerated to operation speed

The positioning complete flag is not turned ON.
When the work arrives at the forward/reverse limit during forward/reverse, it is immediately
stopped, being regarded as the forward/reverse limit error.
When the forward limit is ON, reverse is applied, when reverse limit is ON, forward is
applied. Thus, it is possible to drive from the ON state of the limit switch.

The output pulse (frequency and pulse amount) of FX2N-10PG is gained as follows:
Input pulse (frequency and pulse amount) from the manual pulse generator manual pulse
generator input electronic gearing (BFM#45 / BFM#46)
If the value of the manual pulse generator input electronic gearing is less than 1/1, one pulse is
output for plural input pulses.
Accordingly, the frequency of output pulse is low, and the pulse amount is small.
If the value of the manual pulse generator input electronic gearing is more than 1/1, one input
pulse is output for plural input pulses.
Accordingly, the frequency of output pulse is high, and the pulse amount is large.
Moreover, if the value of the manual pulse generator input electronic gearing is larger than 1/1,
the revolution amount of the motor becomes larger for one input pulse. Therefore, the
positioning precision becomes less accurate.

A program example for multi-speed operation (table operation) is described.
Moreover, also in this example, the forward/reverse operation and zero return operation are
possible in the jog operation mode.

Operation explanation
Zero return operation
1) When X006 in the PLC is turned ON, the zero return operation is stared in the decreasing
direction of the current value.
(Only when m code is OFF, the zero return operation can be started.)
2) When the jog input is turned ON, the work is decelerated to the creep speed.
3) Positioning is stopped when the zero point signal is input for one count after the dog input is
turned OFF again. The zero point address is written into the current value and the clear
signal is output.
4) The dog search function can be used depending on the start position of the zero return
operation.
(Set X002 and X003 at the forward and reverse limits respectively.)

Multi-speed operation (table operation)

1) When X007 in the PLC is turned ON, the multi-speed operation is started in the forward
direction.
2) The operation speed has three steps, and an m code is turned ON according to each step.
When the multi-speed operation ends, the final m code is turned ON. Until it is turned OFF,
any other operation (jog operation and zero return operation) or 2nd multi-speed operation
is not received.
When X007 is turned ON again after m code OFF command (X010) is turned ON, it will
move the same again. (Relative position positioning)
3) When X001 (STOP) is turned ON during positioning operation, the work is decelerated and
stopped. When X007 is turned ON again, the work is decelerated and stopped after it
moves the remaining distance.
