Memory and I/O control
Equipped with an adequate program memory and operating memory capacity
The body is compact; however, the standard program memory capacity of FP2/FP2SH is as large as 16k/60k steps, and when
optional memory is added, 32k/120k steps. A variety of operation memory types are also available. The maximum number of
controlled I/O points is 2,048 (2,048/8,192 for FP2/FP2SH when using remote I/O units), which is sufficient for medium-scale
control.
Addition of optional memory
FP2: Addition of optional memory to the CPU unit allows it
to store up to 32k program steps, provides it with the
clock/calendar function, and makes comment writing
possible.
FP2SH: An optional IC card can be used as program memory
or expanded data memory.

The Flexible Network Slave (FNS) unit is a powerful, modular network unit used together with the programmable controllers FP2 and FP2SH. By exchanging compact network blocks, you can connect to various networking systems
without having to modify your entire hardware platform. The blocks are available for three bus systems: PROFIBUS,
DeviceNet and CANopen. Others are planned for the future.

Fast reaction to new market networking trends possible with
existing units: no additional hardware development needed:
you need only exchange the network block.
Extremely compact.
Install the FP2 FNS expansion
module on the backplane of your
FP2 system. The number of units
is restricted by the size of the FP2
backplane.
