  • Page 2: High Performance

    High performance High performance  High-speed operation The 32-bit RISC processor provides the top-level processing speed in compact PLCs. The scan time is 2ms or less for 5000 steps*¹. A high-speed PLC is indis- pensable for enhancing the functionality of equipment. *1 Basic instructions: 40%, Data transfer and operation instructions: 60% ...
  • Page 3: Product Lineup

    Product lineup Product lineup The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/60 comes with 4-axis pulse output built-in the control unit. The multi-axis control, which previously required a higher-level PLC or additional positioning unit, or 2 or more PLC units, can now be achieved with only 1 FP-X transistor output type unit in a small space at a low cost.

  • Page 6 FP-X series High capacity, ultra high-speed processing The high-level basic performance provides sufficient room for future equipment expansion.  Abundant program capacity—32k steps (16k steps for C14) The program capacity of 32k steps, exceeding the capacity of most compact PLCs, can flexibly handle a wide variety of applications requiring future equipment expan- sion.
  • Page 7 FP-X series Great expandability Only 1 E16 can be connected serially. Connection by using the cable included with each expansion unit. An 80-cm expansion cable is also available as an option.  When further expansion or functions are required, use the existing FP0 expansion units All control units can be expanded by up to 3 FP0 expansion units via an adapter.
  • Page 8 FP-X series Add-on cassette (lineup) “Require slightly more functions”, “Want to add functions to the existing equipment” —The rich variety of add-on cassettes helps solve these requirements.  The add-on cassette easily adds small quantities of functions and I/O points. Add-on Cassette Part number I/O cassette...

  • Page 10 FP-X series Positioning FP-X perfectly fits the need for low cost “multi-axis positioning control in small-scale equipment”.  Built-in 4-axis pulse output (Transistor output type) The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/C60 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 2 or more PLC units, can now be achieved with only 1 FP-X transistor output type unit in a small space at a low cost.
  • Page 11 FP-X series Multi-point PID control  High-accuracy PID control is possible by adopting a sophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations.  Higher accuracy is obtained by ultra high-speed computations in a 32µs/loop. For example, a 16-loop control only adds a scan time of 0.5ms by ensuring minimum impact on the tact time.
  • Page 12 FP-X series Reassuring data security Protects your important programs by preventing illegal copies.  Program upload is easily prohibited by tool software FPWIN.  Reading a program from the PLC main unit is virtually impossible.  In the upload-prohibited condition, program transfers to the master memory are also prohibited. ...
  • Page 13 FP-X series Network Different types of equipment need to be linked – FP-X flexibly meet such requirements.  Up to 3 serial communication ports can be used simultaneously Usable interfaces include RS232C, RS485, RS422 and USB. * The RS232C tool port can be used as a general-purpose serial communication port. Communication cassette (two-channel type) COM1: RS232C, RS485, Ethernet COM2: RS232C, RS485, USB (The cassette port and the USB port cannot be used simultaneously.)
  • Page 14: Other Useful Functions

    FP-X series Other useful functions  The master memory makes program transfer easy, and a real-time clock is also included  The built-in 512kb flash-ROM can store a 32-k step pro- gram as well as the comments and FPWIN Pro source file.
