FX2N-20MT Programmable Logic Controller

The FX2N-20MT is a highly versatile and feature-rich programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for industrial automation applications. It is compatible with popular programming software and provides a wide range of functions to meet various automation requirements.

Basic Functions:

  1. Watchdog Function: Ensures system reliability by supporting a watchdog function, compatible with the original PLC.
  2. External Interrupt Function: Offers external interrupt functionality on all six channels, allowing pulse capture through X0-X5.
  3. Password Protection: Allows setting a password to secure the program. Setting the password as “12345678” makes the program unreadable, but it still permits the modification of soft component data.
  4. Component Compatibility: Except for D registers, this PLC is compatible with other components similar to the original.
  5. Data Retention: Supports data retention during power loss. All data is retained in FLASH memory and is verified during power-up.
  6. Program Verification: Verifies the ladder diagram program during download, ensuring program integrity.
  7. Program Check: Continuously checks the program instructions and component range during operation. Any issues are reported as faults.
  8. Run/Stop Indicators: The RUN indicator indicates the operating mode (flashes in RUN, off in STOP).
  9. Error Indicators: The ERR indicator indicates faults (blinks for minor faults, remains on for serious faults).
  10. Constant Scanning Mode: Supports constant scanning mode with configurable parameters.

Optional Functions:

  1. High-Speed Pulse Output: Supports PLSY and PLSR instructions, enabling pulse output on four channels (Y0, Y1, Y2, Y3). Y0 and Y1 support up to 200kHz, while Y2 and Y3 support up to 100kHz.
  2. RTC Real-Time Clock Function: Supports real-time clock functions, which can be password-protected to prevent modification.
  3. Encoder Input Function: Provides encoder input for up to two channels of AB phase input with a response of up to 60kHz. It also supports high-speed counters, SPD instruction, and 2x or 4x frequency configuration for increased precision.
  4. Dual Communication Ports: Offers two communication ports with support for programming port protocols. The second port also supports MODBUS-RTU protocols and can be switched using D8120, with baud rate configurations available.

Supported Instructions:

  • Basic Instructions (All Supported)
  • Step Instructions (STL and RET)
  • 32-Bit Instruction Support, including additional P instructions
  • Error Handling: A 6506 fault is detected when unsupported instructions are used.

The FX2N-20MT is a powerful PLC that combines a wide range of functions and versatile communication capabilities, making it an excellent choice for industrial automation applications that require precise control and data management.
