Powerful and compact PLC - FP Sigma

The FP-Sigma powerful and compact PLC features the very latest control technology and a compact structural design. It is able to communicate with all major factory automation products. Of course you can programme the FP-Sigma using our FPWIN Pro software (conforming to IEC 61131-3), and it is compatible with all Panasonic controllers.

Other highlights:

  • Large program memory (32k commands)
  • Large data memory (32k words)
  • Efficient motion control functions
    - 50kHz fast counter input
    - 100kHz pulse output
    - convenient positioning commands
  • Fastest processing time, 0.32µs/basic command
  • Real-time clock
  • Compact design (W 30 x H 90 x D 60mm)
  • Top communication performance thanks to 3 possible serial interfaces on the CPU
  • MODBUS RTU Master/Slave standard in all CPUs

Flexible network slave unit FPG-FNS

FP-Sigma FNS

The Flexible Network Slave (FNS) unit is a powerful, modular network unit used together with the FP-Sigma. By exchanging compact network blocks, you can connect to various networking systems without having to modify your entire hardware platform.

Advantages:

  • Wide range of connectivity solutions for FP-Sigma
  • One hardware platform for several bus systems
  • Fast reaction to new market networking trends possible with existing units: no additional hardware development needed because you need only exchange the network block
  • Extremely compact

The network blocks are available for three bus systems: PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and CANopen. Others are planned for the future.
