Memory and I/O Control

Flexible Expandability

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.

I/O point expansion by adding backplanes

See page 14 for details.

	NEW!
Conventional backplane	H type backplane

Optional memory for FP2SH

Only one backplane can be added to one master backplane. When both the master and expansion backplanes are of the 14module type, up to 1,600 I/O points can be controlled.

Up to three backplanes can be added to one master backplane. Now up to 32 units can be connected and up to 2,048 I/O points controlled.

Flexible Network Slave Unit

Continuous Communication in Industrial Applications

The Flexible Network Slave (FNS) unit is a powerful, modular network unit used together with the programmable controllers FP and FP SH. 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.

FP -FNS

				4 simple steps to
1				setup your network
				Install the FP FNS expansion
				module on the backplane of your
				FP system. The number of units
				is restricted by the size of the FP
				backplane.

Advantages:

Wide range of connectivity solutions.

One PLC hardware platform for several bus systems.

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.

For each network type, ready-made function libraries for FPWIN Pro are available free of charge from the Panasonic Electric Works Europe AG Website (www.panasonic-electric-works.com)

These libraries drastically shorten the time needed to develop your applications, and consequently save valuable human resource costs. They also include a complete online help file and programming examples.
