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 |
| 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. | Product number | Specifications |
