PLC FP0R: new standard for compact PLCs
FP0R - with enhanced, advanced functionality and performance
Our customers stand to benefit from the advanced features of the FP0R control units.
- Ultra high-speed processing enhances productivity
An ultra high speed of 0.08µs/step for basic instructions for the first 3000 steps and 0.58µs/step thereafter. The FP0R is ideal for positioning and process automation applications, e.g. in labeling machines.
- Large programming capacity of 16k or 32k steps
- Generous data register of up to 12k or 32k words
- Independent comment memory
- USB2.0 port provides high-speed program transfer
- The new F-type FP0R provides maintenance-free and complete backup of all data without requiring a battery. Industry's first!
- Jog operation
- Individual settings for acceleration and deceleration for ramp functions
- Target speed can be changed by an external signal input during jog operation or trapezoidal control
- Can read encoder signals of up to 50kHz (pulse frequency measurement)
- 6-channel high-speed counters and 4-axis pulse outputs can be used simultaneously
FP0R units provide various kinds of networking communication using a built-in interface or expansion units
- Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IEC60870)
- Profibus
- CC-Link
- MEWNET-W0
- C-NET
- RS232C or RS485 serial communication
FP0R - same ultra compact size as FP0
The FP0R control unit has the same dimensions as the FP0: W25 x H90 x D60mm. You can connect up to 3 FP0 expansion units to the FP0R, yielding up to 128 I/O points at a total width of just 100mm!FP0R - fully compatible with FP0 units
FP0R control units are the same size and color, and have the same pin assignment and wiring as the FP0 control units. The FP0R can use existing FP0 programs without needing to change them, making replacement as simple as “plug and play”. Of course, the FP0R can use all FP0 expansion units.

RTD input unit
The new module determines temperatures with extreme precision and is easy to use. The temperature data obtained using the RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is converted to the digital value to be read by the FP0/FPS control unit.
- The module can be easily installed in an existing system.
- Multiple RTD types are allowed in one module, yielding a cost-effective solution.
- The temperature data measured can be converted to either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit inside the FP0 RTD unit.
- A broken RTD can be detected.
Available RTD types:
Pt100 (to IEC751), Pt1000 (to IEC751), Ni1000 (to DIN43760)

PROFIBUS
The FP0 DSP2 can operate either as a DP slave module or as a remote I/O system to which different decentralized inputs and outputs can be connected. A DIP switch can be used to switch between the two modes:
Mode 1: DP Slave module. Connect the FP0 or FPS CPU + expansion modules to the PROFIBUS network.
Mode 2: remote I/O. Connect up to three expansion modules without CPU to the PROFIBUS network.
In remote I/O mode, the unit can be connected to any PLC from any manufacturer that offers a PROFIBUS communication interface.
MEWNET-F
MEWNET-F is remote I/O system with reduced wiring that connects PLCs and I/O slave stations via 2-core cabling. By adding an I/O link unit to the FP0, you can link a master station PLC and FP0 inputs and outputs via the network.
S-LINK CPU
FP0 connects directly to the S-LINK for reduced wiring and simple installation. It can control up to 128 points for S-LINK-related devices. Similar to other FP0 units, up to three expansion units can be used for efficient I/O wiring.
CC-Link Slave Unit FP0-CCLS
This slave unit was developed for the open standard network CC-Link. By connecting this module to FP0R, FP0 or FP-X, data can be exchanged quickly between Panasonic PLCs and external devices, providing a vendor-independent data communication solution.
Relay output terminal FP0-RT8Y-6A
The FP0-RT8Y-6A unit provides reliable insulation between peripheral equipment and the PLC system, even for electrical loads up to 250VAC/6A. Standardized MIL connectors establish a direct connection to the FP0R or FP0 unit.
The FP-PS24 high-end power supply units - also for arduous application conditions
- Up to 91.5% efficiency (FP-PS24-060E)
- Current limiting and short-circuit protection
- High power density with minimal loss
- Wide ambient temperature range from -10°C to +70°C, without performance loss
- Safety Standards Approved (IEC60950, UL60950,CSA22.2-60950, EN60950) tested by CSA
- Protection class II, without grounding
- Easy mounting and wiring
- Extremely compact with optimal air cooling
