Panasonic Ultra-Slim PLC - FP Sigma

Ultra-Slim PLC - FP Sigma

Next-generation compact PLC. Medium-scale functionality provided in nano size

More advanced and complex control is required of PLCs in accordance with equipment functionality enhancements. The FPΣ is compact in size but equipped with a RISC processor that processes basic instruction at speeds of 0.32 usec/ instruction. Some of the features that results are super fast floating point calculation, built-in two axis of motion with linear/circular interpolation (expandable to 10 axes), easy PID instruction that supports up to 24 loops, 4 channels of built-in high speed counters, etc.

The FPΣ can support up to 3 serial ports configurable for Modbus RTU, PLC to PLC networking, Mewtocol, and General Purpose (custom communication protocol). The FPΣ has a programming capacity of 32 k steps, and supports up to 384 I/O points.

Key features

• Supports high-speed, positioning! Comes standard with pulse output function of maximum 100 kHz.
  Linear and circular interpolation 2 Axis motion control.
• Program capacity of 32K steps
• RISC processor with 0.32 micro second processing speed per instruction
• 4 different communication cassettes. You can add up to two more ports without increasing the size of the CPU unit.

• Contains convenient instructions and functions for temperature control. A control unit that supports thermistor input is also available.
• High-level Temperature Control at Low Cost Two built-in thermistors input channels provide high-level temperature control. Thermistors can be connected directly, eliminating the need for an additional unit. The FPΣ can control heaters via PWM outputs controlled by the built-in PID/Auto-Tuning.
• Modbus RTU Master/Slave communication
• 50 Micro second interrupt throughput
• Up to 3 serial ports operating at speeds up to 115.2K baud rate.

Panasonic adds higher performance FP2SH flagship to its PLC product line

Nano Rack PLC

Panasonic Electric Works is pleased to announce its new FP2SH PLC Series. The new FP2SH offers an increased level in performance over the standard FP2. A few of these enhancements include a built-in real time clock, 0.03 µsec execution time per basic instruction, a 32k Step program memory with an option to expand, and a larger internal data memory.

Less than 4 inches in height, the FP2SH is not only one of the smallest rack systems in the market, but one of the most powerful.

Best Combination With Servo

The FP2SH can essentially be a motion controller. It can control up to 64 axes and output up to a 1MHz pulse train or 256 network servo axes. With a response time of less than 0.1 ms and a scan time of 1ms for a 20K step program, the total overhead delay for a 32 axis A Series servo system is only 2.2ms. Now your machine can run faster!

Powerful and Easy to Use

The FP2 can currently support four types of networks: Ethernet, Profibus-DP, MEWNET and Remote I/O. It is possible to have up to 8 network units per rack, and all three can be supported at the same time. There are 2 types of Windows based 32 bit programming software available. FPWIN-GR, easy programming with powerful features and FPWIN-PRO, IEC61131 based object oriented programming.

Key features

• High Density I/O
• Removable Terminals
• Floating Point Math
• Ethernet Connection
• 2 Serial Ports

• 64 Axes Motion Control
• PID with Auto Tuning
• Universal Analog Input
• 1 ms Resolution Timers
• Run Time Editing
