Advantages of PLC control
PowerfuL Hardware SoLuTionS
Panasonic PLCs offer an outstanding price-performance ratio which incorporates numerous functions into a very compact body. Even in the smallest size they provide a powerful instruction set which allows the system to handle demanding tasks such as analog control, networking and positioning control.

innovaTive Programming SofTware

Our PLC programming software was one of the first on the market conforming to the international standard IEC 61131-3. Numerous libraries that incorporate a lot of our know-how ensure the reusability of ready-made functions and function blocks and save time for programming and debugging.

Long-Life QuaLiTy
As with all Panasonic products, the PLCs undergo extremely rigorous testing during development that far exceeds the demands that will actually be placed on them. This is a guarantee for the long life of the product in the application.

BenefiT from good ServiCe

In addition to a comprehensive PLC range, Panasonic also offers the high-quality care demanded from a service-oriented company certified according to ISO 9001. Highly trained application engineers can provide custom designed systems. The sales staff regularly participates in hardware and software training courses.

 Abundant program capacity 32k steps
The 32k step program capacity can accommodate an increase in the number of programs accompanying functionality enhancements, expansions, or changes of equipment. All of 100,000 I/O comments, 5000 lines of line-space comments, and 5000 lines of remark comments are saved in FPS (Sigma) together with programs. Equipped with a RISC processor, achieving high-speed processing with a scan time of less than 2ms for 5000 steps.

 High-speed positioning unit  Simple temperature control

 Equipped with an independent comment memory  Equipped with a high-speed RISC processor

The 4Mbps maximum frequency and startup speed of 0.005ms allow use for linear servo control. A temperature control program can be written in only one line by using the PID F356 (EZPID) instruction, facilitating temperature control by a PLC, which had previously been considered difficult.

The add-on cassettes can easily be mounted onto the control unit, up to 2 cassettes on the C14 or 3 cassettes on the C30/C60. By using one communication cassette, which can be stacked on top of another expansion cassette, even the FP-Xs communication can be expanded.

The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/60 comes 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. FP-X transistor output type is capable of simultaneously controlling 2-axis linear interpolation, for the first time in the industry with a compact pulse-output PLC.

The built-in 1MB flash-ROM can store a 32k step program as well as the comments of FPWIN Pro source file. The master memory cassette allows you to conveniently update a program on an FP-X in the field. Because the master memory cassette can store password information, you can easily enjoy all the security features the FP-X offers even when transferring program in the field.
