FP-X
The new FP-X PLC series succeeded 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, 30, 38 and 60 I/Os and up to 32k steps program memory. Numerous add-on cassettes, e.g. communication cassettes for RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet communication and function cassettes for analog I/Os, thermocouple, RTD, pulse I/O etc., make the FP-X even more flexible, enabling users to configure the controller to suit their application needs. No additional space is required for these cassettes: you just plug them onto the CPU. When even more functionality or I/Os are required, FP-X and FP0R expansion units can be connected.
Short overview of major functions:
- Ultra high-speed processingHigh-speed scan of 0.32µs for a basic instruction (1.9ms scan time for 5 ksteps)
- Large programme capacityProgramme capacity of 32k steps with a sufficient comment area
- Great expandability with a wide variety of optionsMax. I/O expansion of 300 channels and further expansion with function expansion cassettes and expansion units
- High securityProgram 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 portEasy direct connection with a PC via a commercial USB cable (AB type)
- Master memory function cassette makes program transfer easy whileproviding 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 controlSophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations enable high-accuracy PID control
- Compatible with all FP Series PLCs from PanasonicThe 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
