FP-X series High capacity, ultra high-speed processing The high-level basic performance provides sufficient room for future equipment expansion. A bundant program capacity—32k steps (16k steps for C14) Program capacity FP-X The program capacity of 32k steps, exceeding the capacity of most compact PLCs, can flexibly handle a wide variety of applications requiring future equipment expansion. An adequate comment area has of course been reserved.
FP-X series Great expandability Only 1 E16 can be connected serially. C60 E16 C60 E16 E16 can be sandwiched with E30* E16 E16 NG C60 C60 E16 NG E30 OK E16 OK E30 * E30 requires an external power supply Connection by using the cable included with each expansion unit. C60 E30 An 80-cm expansion cable is also available as an option. E30 The units can be mounted very close to each other with the cable bent inside between the units in order to save space.
FP-X series Add-on cassette (lineup) “Require slightly more functions”, “Want to add functions to the existing equipment” —The rich variety of add-on cassettes helps solve these requirements. The add-on cassette easily adds small quantities of functions and I/O points. A: Available, N/A: Not available Part number Application Cassette A 8-point input of 24VDC, Bi-direction (Sink/Source) A N/A A AFPX-TR8 8-point output of 24VDC, NPN transistor 0.
FP-X series Add-on cassette (Ethernet) This Ethernet cassette fulfills user requiremens such as the “easy collection of inspection/ production data” or “remote changing of ladder programs”, using LAN (Ethernet). The industry’s first*¹ add-on to equip a compact PLC with an Ethernet port AFPX-COM5 *1: In Japan, as of May 1, 2007 Enables easy Ethernet connections with a compact PLC, which were previously not possible. Also equipped with an RS232C port.
FP-X series Positioning FP-X perfectly fits the need for low cost “multi-axis positioning control in small-scale equipment”. Built-in 4-axis pulse output (Transistor output type) The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/C60 comes with 4-axis pulse output inside the control unit.
FP-X series Multi-point PID control High-accuracy PID control is possible by adopting a sophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations. Higher accuracy is obtained by ultra high-speed computations in a 32µs/loop. For example, a 16-loop control only adds a scan time of 0.5ms by ensuring minimum impact on the tact time. The simultaneous multi-point auto-tuning simplifies complex parameter setting.
FP-X series Reassuring data security Protects your important programs by preventing illegal copies. Program upload is easily prohibited by tool software FPWIN. Reading a program from the PLC main unit is virtually impossible. In the upload-prohibited condition, program transfers to the master memory are also prohibited. Release of an upload-prohibited condition is possible with a forced release accompanied by a program deletion.
FP-X series Network Different types of equipment need to be linked – FP-X flexibly meet such requirements. Up to 3 serial communication ports can be used simultaneously Usable interfaces include RS232C, RS485, RS422 and USB. * The RS232C tool port can be used as a general-purpose serial communication port.
FP-X series Other useful functions The master memory makes program transfer easy, and a real-time clock is also included The built-in 512kb flash-ROM can store a 32-k step program as well as the comments and FPWIN Pro source file. Program update in a remote location is easy by simply sending master memory for local installation. As the master memory stores the password information, password protection can be applied for program transmission. Similarly, upload prohibition/permission can be set up.
FP-X series Programming according to the international standard IEC 61131-3 FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard IEC 61131-3 (for Windows 98, NT V4.0, 2000, ME, XP or Vista). This new version is a result of experience gained over many years. We were one of the first PLC manufacturers to offer IEC 61131-3 programming software, and we are a leading member of the international organization PLCopen.
