3. Ключевые особенности
4. Direct Compatibility for NZ2GF2B-60AD4 Replacement

Fully compatible terminal layout; existing wiring remains unchanged for direct upgrade. The N-version optimizes noise suppression and synchronous timing performance.

2. Network Synchronization Function

Supports CC-Link IE Field synchronous communication. Synchronized sampling with motion modules is available, ideal for high-speed acquisition and tension control applications.

3. Trigger Conversion Function

Hardware-triggered sampling is supported for dynamic acquisition of high-speed pressure and flow signals.

4. Built-in Diagnostics

Open-circuit detection (4~20mA loop), over-range alarm, module fault and communication abnormality monitoring; upper/lower limit supervision per channel.

5. Digital Filtering

Average processing and moving average filter parameters can be configured via software to suppress on-site interference.

4. Wiring Guidelines (18-point screw terminal)

В+ / В-: Voltage signal input

я+ / Я-: Current signal input

ФГ: Shield ground (must connect to cabinet protective ground to reduce interference)

24V+/24V-: External operating power supply for module

⚠️ Prohibitions:

1. Voltage and current signals cannot be connected to the same channel simultaneously;
2. Shielded twisted-pair cables are preferred for 4~20mA sensors;
3. No isolation between channels, creating common-ground risks for multi-signal systems. Single-point grounding on the sensor side is recommended for multiple transmitters.
4. Software Configuration Guidelines

Available Master Station Modules: QJ71GF11-T2 / LJ71GF11-T2 / RJ71GF11-T2 (Серия iQ-R)

Программное обеспечение: GX работает2 / GX работает3

Configuration Steps:

2. Initialize buffer registers of the module: configure range, filtering and open-circuit detection enable for each channel;
3. Read converted values of 4 A/D channels and channel status alarm bits via cyclic RX area.
4. Cross-reference of Alternative Models
5. Direct Drop-in Replacement: NZ2GF2B-60AD4 (legacy model, gradually phased out; BN upgraded version recommended)
6. Matching Expansion Module: NZ2EX2B-60AD4 (can only be mounted behind this main unit for expansion; cannot access network independently)
7. New-generation CC-Link IE TSN Platform: NZ2GN2B-60AD4 (protocol upgraded; cannot be mixed into CC-Link IE Field network)
