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. An adequate comment area has of course been reserved. Free comment entry
makes the program easy to understand during verification.
Equipped with an independent comment memory
Equipped with an independent comment memory separate from the program memory. All of the 100,000 I/O comments, 5000 lines of
line-space comments and 5000 lines of remark comments are saved in the FP-X together with the programs.
Input comments do not decrease the program capacity.
High-speed scan at
High-speed processing is often required for small-scale equipment control such as
serial data communication, network construction or PID temperature control. High-
speed scanning at 0.32µsec/step (basic instruction) easily meets such require-
ments.
E.g. With a 5k step program consisting of 40% basic instructions and
60% applied instructions (data transfer and operation instructions)
→ Scan time: 1.9ms (measured time)
Abundant number of I/O points—Maximum
(up to 382 points possible by using FP0 expansion units and add-on cassettes)
When the user is unable to predict the number of I/O points required in the future for his machine or equipment, he may be unsure
when selecting a PLC model. FP-X solves user concerns by providing a maximum of 300 I/O channels. This number can even be
increased up to 382 points by using the add-on cassettes and FP0 expansion units.
Up to 8 expansion units (E16R, E30R, EFP0) can be connected.
