FP-X series
High capacity, ultra high-speed processing
The high-level basic performance provides sufficient room for future equipment expansion.

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 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 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)

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.
