Other Highlights

Communication

Four quick and easy snap-on cassettes are available to add different

serial ports to the FP

Σ (Sigma). All ports are capable of communicating

at speeds of up to 115.2Kbps.

Positioning

In addition to a host of handy Panasonic functions,

the FP

Σ (Sigma) also offers circular and linear interpolation.

Circular interpolation can be used for applications that apply glue, linear

interpolation for pick & place applications, for example.

By combining the FP

Σ (Sigma) with servo motors, you can perform real

2-axis motion control.

Temperature Control

With the thermocouple input units and our accurate unique PID and

IPD algorithms, temperature can be controlled more easily and

accurately than ever.

FPΣ (Sigma)

The next generation compact PLC

Highlights

State-of-the-art PLC technology in the most compact size plus the ability to communicate via all important modern media

characterize the FP

Σ (Sigma). With its two 100kHz pulse outputs, four hardware counters that function at up to 50kHz for

positioning applications, a programming memory capable of storing 32,000 steps, a real-time clock, and communication interfaces

for RS232 and RS485, FP

Σ (Sigma) is one of the most flexible PLCs on the market. Remarkably, it is also one of the smallest!

Optimised communication functions

With the RS485 type communication cassette...

Despite being compact you can create powerful PLC links!

More links than you imagined a compact PLC could achieve

(2,048 link relays / 256-word link data registers)

 Can be used to share product type between different machines.

 Can be used for interlocking between different machines.

 Easy wiring between PLCs with twin-core cabling.

Masterless communication method

(when PLC linkage is achieved with link relays and link data registers)

The masterless communication method means that even if a connected device (station) goes into power off, operations to

automatically switch the master station continue. Start up is smooth and the recovery from malfunctions is also potentially faster.

 If the master station is not on,

communication cannot take place.

 Errors occur when devices are not

turned on in sequence.

Use of insulated RS485

Uses the insulated RS485, which is highly reliable and largely impervious to noise.

High-speed communication over long distances are enabled.

 Transmission speed: Max. 115.2kbits/s  Transmission distance: Max. 1.200m

 Even if a station goes into a power-

off state, communications between

the other stations continue.
