FP0 – Super Compact PLC

Incredibly small, alone or even as multiple combined units

A control unit a mere 25mm in width. Even expanded to I/O 128 points, the width is still only 105mm.
The attachment area is the smallest in its class.

The control unit's dimensions are: W25* x H90 x D60mm.
Also, the I/O unit can be expanded to a maximum of
128-points. Even so, the size is still only W105 x H90 x
D60mm, a super compact design that breaks all previous
common sense rules on small-scale PLCs. With the
smallest-ever attachment area, the FP0 is perfect for
installation in machines, facilities, and control boards
where miniaturization is progressing even further.

The expansion unit can be attached easily
without any cables.

The expansion unit can easily be attached directly to the
control unit. Special expansion cables, backplanes, and
so forth, are unnecessary as the expansion unit employs
a stacking system that uses expansion connectors and
locking levers on the surface of the unit itself.

Because of its super compact size and high capabilities,
the units are useful in a wide variety of applications.

FP0 – Impressive Capabilities

High specifications for both speed and capacity

0.9µs per basic instruction. Pulse catch and interrupt input functions meet the need for high-speed response.

High-speed execution

Execution speed of 0.9µs per basic instruction. 500 steps program yields a scanning time of 1ms, which means the FP0
boosts the fastest processing time among the products of this class.

• Internal processing in the FP0

Large capacity

Pulse catch function

Can read pulses as short as 50µs, which greatly facilitates
sensor input.

• Pulse catch function

Equipped with 2-axis independent positioning and high-speed counter for support of PWM output.

Pulse output function

(For transistor output type only) The unit comes equipped with
2 channels for the output of up to 10kHz pulses (5kHz during
2-channel output). Since these two channels can be separately
controlled, the PLC is also suitable for independent 2-axis
positioning. Setting automatic trapezoid control, automatic return
to home position and JOG operation are made very easy by using
instructions specially designed for such operations.

Positioning control is a breeze with
the auto trapezoid control command!

High-speed counter function

The high-speed counter is prepared for 4 channels in single phase, and 2 channels in
2-phase. In single phase, the 4-channel total is 10kHz, and in 2-phase the 2-channel total is
2kHz total speed, making the unit suitable for conveyer control, inverter control, and so
forth using an encoder.

PWM output function

Its PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output function makes
it possible to provide temperature control with a single
compact FP0 unit. (For transistor output type only)

Serial communication function

• The FP0’s second RS232C port (types C10CRS, C14CRS, C16C, C32C,
and T32C) allows direct connection to computers and operation display
panels. Also, bi-directional data communication with barcode readers
and other RS232C devices is made easy.

• Both the relay type and transistor output type control units are optionally
equipped with a 2nd RS232C port.

Analogue control function

Analogue control is made simple with four types of analoque modules
featuring different numbers of input and output channels.
Also, despite the small size, the I/O resolution is a high 1/4000 (12 bits).
Support various I/O ranges by setting the DIP switches on the analogue
I/O unit for simple operation.

FP0 Communication

Serial interfaces and modem compatible

Programming interface TOOL-Port (also for communication)

In Computer Link mode, this port offers access to the entire FP0 memory area. For example during data exchange between
a host PC running SCADA software and an FP0 PLC, the Windows

®

based MEWNET-DDE Server assumes total control of
the communications protocol (MEWTOCOL.COM). Therefore the user can disregard the allocation of data ranges and
transfer parameters, because there is no additional programming required. The programmer is thus free to concentrate
exclusively on the project application requirements.

Communication Interface COM-Port

(flexible with two modes of operation, Computer Link and General Purpose)
In addition to the Computer Link communication possibilities described above, the optional integrated RS232C COM-Port
in the FP0 CPU module (types FP0-C10CRS, FP0-C14CRS, FP0-C16C, FP0-C32C and FP0-T32C) offers flexible programming
i.e. General Purpose. In this configuration it is possible to realise communication connections with different RS232C
peripheral devices, e.g. Bar Code Readers, slave devices, printers, measurement sensors or telecommunication
transmitters, etc.

Communication Interface COM-Port

Freely programmable RS232C interface for CPU modules type FP0-C10CRS,
FP0-C14CRS, FP0-C16C, FP0-C32C and FP0-T32C

Communication – Simple and efficient via two serial interfaces: TOOL-Port and COM-Port (RS232C interface).

Programming Interface TOOL-Port

For programming, and additionally Master/Slave communication, using
MEWTOCOL COM (Matsushita protocol)

Modem compatible

Even modem communication function is built into this compact body. Using a single telephone line,
programming maintenance can be carried out in remote facilities. With C-NET, multiple FPO units can be
connected.

■ 1:1 communication ■ 1:N communication ■ Multidrop communication

FP0 Communication

Easier maintenance than ever before

Maintenance saving

■ Overwrite function in RUN mode

It is possible to overwrite a program while the FP0 is running, such as during program debugging and startup
adjustments.

■ Backup battery unnecessary

The program memory uses EEPROM. The program and device contents can be stored without a backup battery, and
even programming for a machine builder is safe.

■ Password function

A password function can be set in order to change a program. Limited to people authorized to make program changes,
protection can be guaranteed better than ever.

■ Input/output verification LED

Every unit is equipped with LED I/O indicators, housed within a compact body. Input/output status can be verified
at a glance.

Terminal type can be
plugged straight in without
resorting to crimping (made
by Phoenix Contact Co.).
Can handle wires from

0.3 to 1.25mm

Compatible models

FP0-C10RS, C10CRS, C14CRS, E8RS, E16RS

Unit connectors can be used
with 16-points and 32-points
units. Due to the loose-wiring,
pressure contact type design,
wiring is easy without the
need for insulation.

FP0-T32CP/T32CT

Program memory uses EEPROM. In addition, programs can be changed even in RUN mode!
