The FX2N series is a legacy product line. For modern system retrofits, the FX3U-128MR/ES-A serves as the direct physical and functional successor. It utilizes the same mounting footprint and terminal block layout, though program conversion via GX Works2 or GX Developer is required to compile the legacy FX2N instruction set to the newer FX3U architecture.
Inductive loads such as solenoids, contactor coils, and magnetic valves generate significant back-EMF when switched off. To prevent premature contact welding and contact resistance degradation on the internal relays, always install external RC suppressors for AC loads or flyback diodes for DC loads. Additionally, ensure the total current drawn from the auxiliary 24V DC terminal does not exceed 460 mA, as overloading this terminal will trigger the internal overcurrent protection and shut down the input circuits.
When wiring the digital inputs, configure the S/S terminal based on your sensor type. Connect the S/S terminal to the 24V terminal for Sink input configuration (NPN sensors) or to the 0V terminal for Source input configuration (PNP sensors). Avoid running I/O signal cables in the same conduit or wire duct as high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference from corrupting the input signals.
CRITICAL WARNING
Isolate all external power sources before attempting installation, wiring, or module replacement. Residual charges in the internal capacitors can present a shock hazard. Ensure the unit is mounted in a well-ventilated enclosure to prevent thermal buildup.
Mount the PLC base unit securely onto a 35mm DIN rail or directly to the backplate of the enclosure using the integrated mounting screw holes.
Connect the protective ground (PE) terminal to the main system ground busbar using a wire with a cross-section of at least 2.0 mm².
Wire the AC power supply lines (100-240V AC) to the L and N terminals using crimped bootlace ferrules to prevent loose strands from shorting.
Verify the S/S terminal jumper configuration matches your field sensor logic (NPN or PNP) before applying power to the unit.
