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.
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.
High-speed scan at 0.32µsec for instruction processing
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 300
(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.

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. In addition, as this type
does not require a pulse I/O cassette as needed for a relay output type,
other function expansion cassettes such as communication or analog in-
put can be attached for more diversified applications.

Simultaneous control of 2

Controls 2 units of 2-axis XY table
2-axis linear interpolation simultaneously in 2 sets (Transistor output type)
2-axis linear interpolation refers to moving a robot arm or equipment head diagonally on a straight line by simultaneously controlling
2 motor shafts. It is used for palletizing, component pick and place, XY table control, contour cutting of a PC board etc. The FP-X
transistor output type is capable of simultaneously controlling 2-axis linear interpolation, for the first time in the industry with a com-
pact pulse-output PLC. This unit dramatically expands the range of applications along with the added convenience of programming
by using the linear interpolation commands F175 (SPSH).
The relay output type is also capable
of 2-axis linear interpolation.
By adding 2 pulse I/O cassettes (AFPX-
PLS), linear interpolation is possible at the
maximum composite speed of 80kHz. The
command used for this unit is F175 (SPSH),
same as that for the transistor output
types.
High-speed counters—8 built-in sets
When adding a pulse I/O cassette to the relay output type, 2 high-speed counter sets can be added to
every cassette. Please refer to the user manual for counter specification.

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.
The simultaneous multi-point auto-tuning simplifies complex parameter setting.
The high-speed control PI-D*¹ mode and overshoot suppression I-PD*² mode are available for selection according to the intended
application.
By combining with a sequence control, the parameters (Kp, Ti, Td, etc.) can be changed during a PID control execution, thereby
enabling optimum temperature control in each stage including start up, mid-range and convergence. The ability to change the tar-
get value easily enables multi-step temperature control, which was difficult with only temperature controllers. In addition, the
multi-point temperature control enables centralized control of multiple temperature controllers with a single FP-X for unified data
management.

Program upload to a PC
Data transfer to the master memory Password protection
Program upload is easily prohibited by tool software FPWIN.
More secure 8-character password can be used along with the previous
4-character password.
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.
Release of an upload-prohibited condition is possible with a forced release accompanied by a program deletion.
Program updates are easily carried out by transferring the program in the master memory to FP-X even during an upload-prohibi-
ted condition. The transferred program in FP-X is set up with the same upload prohibition and permission conditions used in the
master memory.
The combination of upper and lower case alphanumeric characters produces 218 trillion combinations. In addition, after 3 con-
secutive entry failures, a power reset is required for password release.
Protected Protected
Master memory
Protects your important programs by preventing illegal copies.
Using a standard USB port makes it unnecessary to use an an expensive USB conversion adapter/
cable for connecting a PC to the PLC.*
C30 and C60 control units
have a USB port as standard
equipment. They can be easi-
ly connected to a PC with a
commercially available USB
cable (AB type), making pro-
gram editing/monitoring
available. It is no longer nec-
essary to bring a dedicated
cable to remote locations.

FP-X series
Another available application
When 17 or more FP-X units need to be linked, the use of Modbus in-
stead of MEWNET-W0 (see above) can accommodate up to 99 FP-X
units. Because each FP-X can be a master or a slave, a multi-master link
can be constructed by passing a token from a user program.
Token passing (by user program)
Multi-master link of up
to 99 units is possible.
PLC link (MEWNET-W0)
Bit data/word data can be shared (linked) among up to 16 FP-X units. This is ideal for linking adjacent equipment in a distributed
control system.
Item Specifications
Number of stations 16 stations
Transmission speed 115.2kbps
Transmission distance 1200m
Shared data 128 words (data register),
64 words (contacts)
Communication method Floating master
Links with our other PLCs (FPS (Sigma), FP2/FP2SH) are possible.
Simple setting of the number of linked units, linked relays
and starting area address of the own station by using FPWINPro
allows contact information and data to be shared without program-
ming.
Baud rate of 115.2kbps, the highest rate for a compact model.
A transfer distance of 1200m, the longest distance for a
compact model.
FP-X and FPS (Sigma) allow a change of the station number by
programming (SYS instruction).
16 stations, 115.2 kbps, 1200m
RS485 Twisted-pair cable
FP-X requires a communication cassette (AFPX-COM3, AFPX-COM4 or AFPX-COM6)
FP2/FP2SH requires a multi-communication unit (FP2-MCU, FP2-CB485)
FPS (Sigma) requires a communication cassette (FPG-COM3-A, FPG-COM4-A)
Different types of equipment need to be linked – FP-X flexibly meet such requirements.
Modbus-RTU compatibility
Compatible with both the master and slave of the Modbus RTU, the world’s de-facto standard. Great performance is expected for air-
conditioning, temperature control, etc.
Can also be used as
a slave station

FP-X series
The master memory makes program transfer easy, and a real-time clock is also included
Programs can be saved without a backup battery, making maintenance easier
F-ROM data saving (data can be saved without a battery)
The built-in 512kb flash-ROM can store a 32-k step pro-
gram as well as the comments and FPWIN Pro source
file.
Program update in a remote location is easy by simply
sending master memory for local installation.
As the master memory stores the password informa-
tion, password protection can be applied for program
transmission. Similarly, upload prohibition/permission
can be set up.
The built-in real-time clock enables periodical repeated
control and periodical data logging.
The programs and comments are stored in flash-ROM
requiring no backup batteries.
A backup battery (AFPX-BATT) is provided for data
and the real-time clock. 1 battery for C14, 2 for C30
and 3 for C60 can be attached. A 2-battery installation
can operate for a long time (10 years or more) without
maintenance. (The real-time clock does not work with-
out a battery.)
FP-X can store a program, comments, a total of 55
words of data and bit setting values in a flash memory
without a battery. All of the data and bits can be stored
by adding optional batteries, but writing into a flash-
ROM is possible without a battery by using applied in-
structions (F12, P13). Perfectly suited for data storage
of the setup values and recipes modified several times
a day. *
* The limitation in a flash-ROM designates the number of rewrites to be
10,000, or the feasible number to be approx 30,000. However, rewriting
every second will generate a memory failure within a few hours.
