This manual contains texts, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the
correct installation and operation of TX2N-4AD-PT. This manual should be read and
understood carefully before attempting to install or use the unit.
1. Introduction
• The TX2N-4AD-PT analog block amplifies the input from four platinum temperature
sensors (Pt 100, 3 wire, 100 Ω) and converts the data into 12 bit reading’s stored in the
main unit. Both Centigrade (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) can be read. Reading resolution is 0.2°C
to 0.3°C / 0.36°F to 0.54°F.
• The TX2N-4AD-PT can connected to the LX1N/HCA2/HCA5/TX3U/HCA8/HCA8C series
Programmable Controllers (PLC).
• All data transfers and parameter setups are adjusted via software control of the TX2N-
4AD-PT; by use of the TO/FROM applied instructions in the PLC.
• The TX2N-4AD-PT occupies 8 I/O points on the PLC expansion bus. The 8 I/O points can
be allocated from either inputs or outputs. The TX2N-4AD-PT draws 30mA from the 5V rail
of the main unit or powered extension unit.

3. Connection with PLC
TX2N-4AD-PT User’s Manual
3.1 Connection with PLC
The TX2N-4AD-PT unit can be connected to the PLCs as follows. Restrictions apply to the
maximum number of connectable units, depending on the DC24V/DC5V Power Supply
capacities and the Main Unit/ Special Function Unit types. For details, refer to the respective
PLC manual.
HCA5/HCA8/TX3U : The maximum connectable units is 8.
HCA8C*1 : The maximum connectable units is 8.
To connect the TX2N-4AD-PT with the HCA8C main unit, HCA8C-CNV5V
-TX2N is required.
LX1N/HCA2 : The maximum connectable units is 8.
*1 Up to 7 units can be connected to an HCA8C-16X16YT PLC.
3.2 Special function block numbers
Other special units of blocks that use FROM/TO instructions, such as analog input blocks,
analog output blocks and high-speed counter blocks, can be directly connected to the main
unit of the PLC or to the right side of other extension blocks or units.
4. Wiring
4.1 Wiring
The cable of the Pt 100 sensor or a twisted shielded
cable should be used for the analog input cable. This
analog input cable should be wired separately from
power lines or any other lines which may induce noise.
The three wire method improves the accuracy of the
sensors by compensating voltage drops.
If there is electrical noise, connect the FG (frame
ground) terminal with the ground terminal. (In CH1,
there is no FG terminal. Use FG terminal of other
channels.
Connect the ground terminal on the TX2N-4AD-PT
unit with the grounded terminal on the main unit. Use
grounding on the main unit, if grounding is possible.
Either an external or the 24V built-in supply in the PLC
may be used.
4.2 Using crimp terminations
Wire only to the module terminals discussed in this
manual. Leave all others vacant.
Secure the terminal using a tightening torque of
between 0.5 and 0.8N·m.
Use crimp terminals as indicated on the left.

Identification code K2040
The TX2N-4AD-PT communicates
with the PLC via buffer memories.
BFMs (buffer memories) #21 to
#27 and #31 are reserved.
All BFM data can be read by the
PLC using the FROM instruction.
PLC can read/write the BFMs
(marked with “*” ), using FROM
/TO instructions.
BFM #0 value (K0 or K1) decides the Pt100 characteristic to be used.
K0 : JIS C 1604-1997
K1 : JIS C 1604-1981
The number of samples to be averaged are assigned in BFMs #1 to #4. Only the range
1 to 4096 is valid. Values outside this range are ignored. The default value of 8 is used.
A number of recently converted readings are averaged to give a smoother read out.
The averaged data is stored in BFMs #5 to #8 and #13 to #16.
BFMs #9 to #12 and #17 to #20 store the current value of the input data. This value is
in units of 0.1°C or 0.1°F, but the resolution is only 0.2°C to 0.3°C or 0.36°F to 0.54°F.
