FP-X positioning
For low cost multi-axis position control
Built-in 4-axis pulse output (transistor output type)
The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/C38 and
C60 come with 4-axis pulse output inside the control unit. The multi-
axis control, which previously required a higher-level PLC or additional
positioning unit, or two or more PLC units, can now be achieved with
only one FP-X transistor output type unit in a small space at a low
cost. In addition, as this type does not require a pulse I/O cassette
as needed for a relay output type, other function expansion cassettes
such as communication or analog input can be attached for more di-
versied applications.

Pulse output up to 2-axis 80kHz is possible
by loading 2 pulse I/O cassettes (AFPX-

linear interpolation.

Linear interpolation simultaneously in 2 sets (transistor output type)
2-axis linear interpolation refers to moving a robot arm or equipment head diagonally on a straight line by simultaneously
controlling 2 motor shafts. It is used for palletizing, component pick and place, XY table control, contour cutting of a PC board,
etc. This makes the FP-X transistor output type the rst compact pulse-output PLC capable of simultaneously controlling linear
interpolation for 2 sets of axes. This unit dramatically expands the range of applications along with the added convenience of
programming by using the linear interpolation command F175_PulseOutput_Linear.
2-axis linear interpolation with relay
output types
By adding 2 pulse I/O cassettes (AFPX-
PLS), linear interpolation is possible at
the maximum composite speed of 80kHz.
The command used for this unit is F175_
PulseOutput_Linear, the same as that for
the transistor output types.
