Panasonic: PLC (FP-X Series)
Panasonic PLCs offer an outstanding price-performance benefit which incorporates numerous functions including PID, adaptive filters, electronic cam control, multi-axis interpolation and more, all in a very compact body. Panasonic 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 end-use applications. Panasonic's PLC programming software, Control FPWIN Pro, was one of the first on the market conforming to the international standard IEC 61131-3. In addition to all of this, Panasonic employs highly trained application engineers that can assist in providing custom designed systems.

Motion control functions
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 processing: High-speed scan of 0.32µs for a basic instruction (1.9ms scan time for 5 k steps).
Large program capacity: Program capacity of 32k steps with a sufficient comment area.
Great expandability with a wide variety of options: Max. I/O expansion of 300 channels and further expansion with function expansion cassettes and expansion units.
High security: Program 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 port: Easy direct connection with a PC via a commercial USB cable (AB type).
Master memory function cassette makes program transfer easy while providing a real-time clock: Program update in a remote location is easy, and Periodical control and data logging is possible.
Simultaneous 2-axis linear interpolation is possible in two pairs.
Multi-point PID control: Sophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations enable high-accuracy PID control.
Compatible with all FP Series PLCs from Panasonic: The FP-X can be programmed using FPWIN Pro programming software in compliance with the international standard IEC 61131-3.
