FPΣ (Sigma)
Supports the enhancement of your equipment’s performance
FPΣ (Sigma) is compatible with the world's
de facto standard Modbus* and can serve
as both Modbus RTU master and slave,
making it ideal for air conditioning or
temperature control etc.
* Protocol developed by Modicon Inc., an American company
When 17 or more FPΣ (Sigma) units need to be
of MEWNET-W0 to link up to 99 units. Since each
FPΣ (Sigma) unit can be either a master or a slave,
a multi-master link can be created by passing a
token from a user program.
The MEWTOCOL master function automatically creates and transmits commands using the Panasonic open
protocol MEWTOCOL. This function significantly facilitates serial communications with MEWTOCOL-
compatible equipment, such as PD50, KT4H and KW4M.
Programs are copy-protected by the upload restriction setting and an eight-character password.
Up to 512 steps can be rewritten simultaneously in RUN mode.
This improvement allows efficient program debugging without stopping the operation.

copying. (If this setting is released, programs in the PLC are forcibly cleared.)
Approx. 218 trillion passwords can be set by combining eight alphanumeric characters, making it nearly
impossible to crack the password set.
Can be used as a master station [F145 (Write) and F146 (Read) instructions]
Can easily communicate with temperature controllers, inverters, FP-e, and overseas
PLCs.
FPΣ (Sigma) can serve as Modbus Master or Slave
