Appendix 2-3. Precautions for the Replacement from VE-2A(G) to NCV-20
Note the following contents when VE-2A(G) is replaced to NCV-20.
Item VE-2A VE-2AG NVC-20 Descriprion
Outside dimention 40 x 225 x 110 39 x 155 x 93 Compact
See VE-2A outline Dwg.
See the section “4-1.
Converter dimention”.
If the mounting fixture
option part "NCV-K1" is
applied, the mounting
hole of VE-2A(G) can be
used.

Use LP or HOLD signal
when reading the
position data.
There is a possibility
reading erroneous data
when these signals are
not used.
Output max. load
current
10mA 70mA 10mA
The output maximum
load current has
decreased by replacing
VE-2A(G) with NCV-20.
Pay attention the current
when connecting with
several PLCs or etc.
LP output state
during HOLD input
LP output stop LP output
LP signal of VE-2A(G)
stops during inputting
HOLD signal; however,
LP signal of NCV-20
doesn't stop even though
HOLD signal is input.
Position data gap
The origin position of NCV-20 is different from
VE-2A(G).
Change the current
position data of NCV-20
to the same value as
VE-2A(G) by using
"current position setting
function".
Please refer to the
section "8-4. Current
position setting" for the
setting process of
current position setting.
