FPx series of PLC's
The new FP-X PLC Series succeeds the popular FP1. With smaller dimensions,  increased memory capacity, higher processing speed and optimized motion control signals, the FP-X is well suited for a wide variety of applications.
The CPUs are available with 14 to 60 I/Os and up to 32k steps programme memory. Special function expansion cassettes, e.g. memory expansion, analogue, digital or high-speed counter expansion cassettes make the FP-X even more flexible, enabling users to configure the controller to suit their application needs. No additional space is required for the expansion cassettes: you just plug them into the CPU unit. When further expansion or functions are required, FP-X and FP0 expansion units can be connected. Short overview of major functions: Ultra high-speed processing
High-speed scan of 0.32µs for a basic instruction (1.9ms scan time for 5 ksteps) Large programme capacity
Programme capacity of 32k steps with a sufficient comment area Great expandability with a wide variety of options
Max. I/O expansion of 300 channels and further expansion with function expansion cassettes and expansion units High security
Program protection with an 8-digit password and a function which prohibits uploads. Up to 3 serial communication ports can be used simultaneously.
The use of a communication cassette provides up to 3 serial communication ports. USB port
Easy direct connection with a PC via a commercial USB cable (AB type) Master memory function cassette makes program transfer easy while
providing a real-time clock
- Programme update in a remote location is easy
- Periodical control and data logging possible Simultaneous 2-axis linear interpolation is possible in two pairs Multi-point PID control
Sophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations enable high-accuracy PID control Compatible with all FP Series PLCs from Panasonic
The FP-X can be programmed using FPWIN Pro programming software in compliance with the international standard IEC 61131-3.

Expansion modules |
All FP-X CPUs can be expanded by up to 3 FP0 expansion units via an adapter. Additionally, the number of I/Os or fuctions can be expanded by using special add-on expansion cassettes. The maximum number of I/O points can be achieved as follows:
Without FP0 adapter: CPU + 8 FP-X expansion units + 3 expansion cassettes
With FP0 adapter: CPU + 7 FP-X expansion units + 3 FP0 expansion units + 3 cassettes FP-X CPU | FP-X expansion modules | FP0 expansion modules |
