Control FPWIN Pro
is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard IEC 61131-3 (for Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7). This new version is a result of experience gained over many years. We were one of the first PLC manufacturers to offer an IEC 61131-3 programming software, and we are a leading member of the international organisation PLCopen.
The most important FPWIN Pro highlights at a glance:
- One software for all FP Series PLCs
- 5 programming languages (instruction list, ladder diagram, function block diagram, sequential function chart, structured text)
- Well structured navigator provides effective overview of programming organizaton units (POUs), tasks, system registers, etc., simplifying project management
- Reuse of ready made functions and function blocks saves time for programming and debugging
- Programming, service, monitoring and diagnostics via RS232 (COM), Modem, Ethernet, USB
- Forced ON/OFF of input and output contacts via the PC
- Extensive comments - online documentation created hand in hand with the program
- The name of variables, functions, function blocks and comments can be written in all languages thanks to Unicode
- Improved programming comfort: snap function, automatic placement of newly inserted elements, existing connection retained while moving elements
- Keyboard-control mode can accelerate programming
- 8 languages are supported: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
- Real-time clock on the PLC can be set in the Software
- All IEC functions support the FP7
- New communication and pointer functions
- New family of overloaded and type-safe instructions for 32-bit type PLCs (FP7) and 16-bit type PLCs
- SD card instructions
