SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

● To prevent accidents or personal injuries, please be sure to comply with the following items.
● Prior to installation, operation, maintenance and inspection, please read this manual carefully for proper use.
● Before using the product, please fully understand the knowledge related to the equipment, safety precautions and all other precautions.
● Safety precautions are divided into two levels in this manual: Warning and Caution.
Incorrect operation may lead to death or serious injury.
● Take appropriate safety measures for the external circuit of the product to ensure the security of the whole system in case of abnormalities caused by product failure or external factors.
● Do not use this product in areas with inflammable gases.
Otherwise it may lead to an explosion.
● Do not put this product into a fire.
Otherwise it may cause damage to the battery or other electronic parts.
● Do not impact, charge or heat the lithium battery, and do not put it into a fire.
Otherwise it may lead to fire or damage.
Incorrect operation may lead to injury or material loss.
● To prevent the excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation of the product, a certain margin is required for guaranteed characteristics and performance ratings of relative products.
● Do not disassemble or modify the product.
Otherwise it may lead to the excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation of the product.
● Do not touch terminal blocks during power-on.
Otherwise it may result in an electric shock.
● Create an emergency stop and interlock circuit in the external devices.
● Connect wires and connectors reliably.
Otherwise it may lead to the excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation of the product.
● Do not carry out construction (wiring, removal, etc.) during power-on.
Otherwise it may result in an electric shock.
● If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the Panasonic, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
● This product has been developed/produced for industrial use only.

Compatibility with the conventional FP-X series

The FP-XH series is upward compatible with a conventional FP-X Control Unit. However, be careful with the following points.
■
Hardware compatibility
● The FP-XH series can be used in combination with FP-X Expansion Units.
iv
WUME-FPXHBASG-01
● The FP-X Extension Cassette (Communication Cassette) and FP-X Extension Cassette (Function Cassette) can also be used. With the FP-XH Control Unit, there are less restrictions on the installation position.
● The wiring for the transistor type Control Unit is different. The external power supply (24 V DC) for driving the output circuit is not necessary.
● The backup battery type is different. A special battery for the FP-XH series is required.
● The port for connecting to a personal computer is USB 2.0 (miniB type).
■
Software compatibility
● The positioning function has been largely improved. A table setting mode has been added to facilitate simplified setting and programming. In addition, position control patterns and home return patterns have been added.
● For using the projects (programs, comments and system registers) created for the conventional FP-X, the projects must be converted to the projects for the FP-XH using the “Convert PLC Type” function of the tool software.
● All the instructions for the conventional FP-X are supported.
