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.

Previous models

Usual master-slave communication

 If the master station is not on,

Positioning

Specially designed for positioning applications

Max. 100kHz pulse output performance is now standard.
Powerful device capable of linear interpolation and circular interpolation.

Pulse output max. 100kHz

Because command processing at speeds up to 100kHz is available, high­speed, high-precision positioning is enabled. Along with stepping motor
control, the specs also ensure plenty of scope for controlling servomotors.

Possible to combine with pulse-train input drivers

Single unit enables two-axis control



Rapid 0.02ms start (when JOG operation controls are executed)

The time taken to execute the JOG operation, from the instant the trigger (execution condition) goes on to the time of pulse output,
is 0.02ms and 0.2ms even with trapezoidal control. Control time is reduced even for machines that quickly and repeatedly restart.

Linear interpolation and circular interpolation are built in (FPG-C32T2H and FPG-C28P2H)

Interpolation functions enable simultaneous control of two axes.
Applications that a compact PLC couldn't previously cope with are no
longer a challenge.

Linear Interpolation Circular Interpolation

And there’s more...

Smooth acceleration/deceleration

You can choose to set either 30 or 60 steps of acceleration/
deceleration. This feature means you can achieve smoother
movement during long acceleration/ deceleration periods of
stepping motors.

The settings are there for a maximum 60
accelaration/deceleration steps.

Positioning

High-speed, high precision positioning

Programming with convenient and
easy-to-understand instructions

 Uses a preset value table for starting speed, target speed,

acceleration/ deceleration time, and other factors. Easy-to­understand programming is possible since numbers can be
specified intuitively.

 Comes with dedicated instructions for each mode: trapezoidal

control, home return, JOG operation, free table operation,
linear interpolation, and circular interpolation.

Home position return

 Pulse output diagram

(when the home position proximity input is not used).

Selectable home return mode

 The home return method may be specified even in situations

such as when only a single sensor is being used, depending
on the design.

 When the home position return is completed, a deviation

counter clear signal can also be output.

JOG operation

 Pulse output diagram

Home search automatically reverses the motor rotation when
Over limit input(+) or Over limit input (-) is input and their
searches for the home position or near home position in order
to return to it automatically.

Linear interpolation

 Positioning Iocus.

A control function that automatically defines the continuum of
points in a straight line based on only two co-ordinate positions.

This refers to an operation in which the motor is rotated only
while operation commands are being input. This is used to
forcibly rotate the motor using input from an external switch, for
instance when making adjustments. Depending on the
circumstances, unlimited feeding can be accomplished with the
JOG operation in some cases.

Circular interpolation

 Positioning Iocus.

 Center-radial

setting methods are
also available.

Allows points to be smoothly traversed by arced paths for which
the user specifies the orientation plane, the radius of curvature,
motion path profile, and direction of motion.

02/2006

Programming according to the international standard IEC 61131-3

FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard
IEC 61131-3 (for Windows 98, NT V4.0, 2000, ME or XP). This new version is a result of experience gained
over many years. We were one of the first PLC manufacturers to offer an IEC 61131-3 programming software,
and we are a leading member of the international organisation PLCopen.

Input and output variables
are defined once in the
global variable list

Multiple address assigment
is caught automatically
by the compiler

Local variables are allocated
automatically by the compiler

Type safe programming using
simple or complex data types

Comfortable programming in the
graphical LD editor (ladder diagram)

Functions can be saved in
libraries for future reuse

Navigator with tree
representation of called
functions provides an
overview even for very
complex projects

The SFC editor (Sequential
Function Chart) allows you to
easily visualize processes

Structuring with
selection statements

Using loops for running
through incoming data

...or arrays

Additional window for monitoring
and forcing variables

Using alliases names for PLC-independent

access on the special data registers, e.g. RTC

Easy handling of
formulas and
arithmetic
expressions

Special functions for controlling the
SFC program from another program

The ST editor
(Structured Text)
solves complex
programming tasks

Using STRING
functions for analyzing
incoming data...

...or for generating
formatted output
strings

One instruction for different
data types (overloaded instructions)

Temporary variables are allocated
and released automatically by the
compiler

Long variable names make the
program self-explanatory

Free demonstration disc

The most important highlights at a glance:

 One software for all FP Series PLCs.
 5 programming languages (instruction list, ladder diagram, function block diagram,

sequential function chart, structured text) available for all PLCs.

 Programme organisation units, task and project management provide clear structure.
 Reuse of ready-made functions and function blocks saves time for programming and debugging.
 Online monitoring and diagnostics.
 Forcing – Turning off input and output contacts via the PC.
 Modem communication for remote programming, service and diagnostics.
 Extensive comments – online documentation created hand in hand with the program.
