F3NC32-0N Yokogawa Positioning Module (Pulse Output) – Product Overview
The F3NC32-0N is a 2-axis positioning module from Yokogawa. It uses open-loop control with position reference pulse output. Also, the module drives servomotors up to 5 Mpps and stepping motors up to 1 Mpps. Each axis selects its own pulse type: CW/CCW, travel/direction, or phase A/B. Moreover, this module fits FA-M3 series systems. Therefore, it suits high-speed multi-axis motion tasks.
Engineers choose the F3NC32-0N for fast pulse output and flexible interpolation. In addition, it offers stable pattern operation. It supports 2-axis linear interpolation and 2-axis circular interpolation. Position control, speed control, and switchover between them are all available. Besides, the module keeps 2000 position data records per axis. Meanwhile, it stores up to 2000 action pattern records.

Installation Guide
- First, mount the module in a Yokogawa FA-M3 base unit slot.
- Then keep pulse output cables short and shielded. Use twisted pairs for RS-422A lines.
- Next, wire origin, limit, and alarm inputs to the correct axis connector pins.
- Also, set pulse type per axis before you start motion. Match the servo or stepper driver input.
- Moreover, confirm emergency stop wiring and SEN signal wiring before power-on.
- Finally, check the software limit switch values after you set the current position.
Setup and Maintenance Convenience
Setup is fast. You set units in mm, degrees, or pulses. Electronic gear scales commands to machine travel. Similarly, teaching mode records actual positions. Jog and manual pulse generator modes help during commissioning. In addition, the flash ROM keeps data without a battery. It is rewritable 100,000 times. Therefore, change target position or speed during movement to cut cycle time.
Compatibility Notes
- First, it fits Yokogawa FA-M3 series base units.
- Also, it works with servomotors that accept 5 Mpps pulse trains.
- Moreover, it works with stepping motors up to 1 Mpps.
- Besides, it accepts incremental encoders (phase A/B) and absolute encoders.
- Thus, use RS-422A compliant differential line drivers on the driver side.
- Finally, ask us to check your driver and encoder pairing before you buy.
Typical Applications
- For example, 2-axis XY tables and gantries.
- Also, pick-and-place units with linear and circular paths.
- Moreover, packaging machines with pattern operation.
- Besides, semiconductor and electronic assembly stages.
- Finally, retrofit of legacy FA-M3 lines with obsolete modules.
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
The module reports driver alarm input per axis. Also, deviation pulse clear output helps you reset position error. Counter coincidence and zone coincidence detection flag target arrival. Meanwhile, limit switch inputs stop motion safely. Use the M code output to handshake with PLC logic. As a result, these signals shorten fault finding on the line.
