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.

	Instruction		Section	Main differences in specifications
	SYS1		Communication condition	The ranges that can be specified for the port number and
			settings	baud rate are extended.
	F12 (ICRD)		F-ROM reading	The range for the block number to be specified when an

(Note 1) When mounting it together with the Function Cassette, mount it on top of the Function Cassette. (Note 2) With the AFPX-COM1, RS/CS control is possible.

(Note 3) When mounting the Function Cassette on C30, or C60 model, the Cassette can be mounted either on the cassette mounting part 1 or cassette mounting part 2.

(Note 4) The Pulse I/O Cassette cannot be mounted on the Transistor Output Type Control Unit. If it is mounted, the self-diagnostic error (27: Unit installed limit) will occur.

(Note 5) Only one FP-X Master Memory Cassette can be mounted. If two FP-X Master Memory Cassettes are mounted, the self-diagnostic error (27: Unit installed limit) will occur.

1.3.4 Restrictions on Communication Functions

●There are the following restrictions on functions to be used when using the communication ports equipped with the Control Unit and Communication Cassettes.

(Note 1) For the PLC link, either one of the standard COM0 port mounted in the Control Unit and the COM 1 port of a Cassette can be used.

(Note 2) The COM4 port only supports MEWTOCOL-COM communication. In addition, the communication parameters (unit number, communication format, baud rate) when the power is ON are same as the setting of the COM3 port. After RUN, you can also change the conditions by SYS1 instruction.

1.3.5 Restrictions on Combined Use of Functions

●For the FP-XH series, communication with external devices can be performed via up to a maximum of five communication interfaces in combination of the standard COM0 port mounted in the Control Unit and the COM1 to COM4 ports of the Communication Cassette.

●When using all five ports (COM0 to COM4), the usable baud rate is up to 115.2 kbps and usable pulse output function is up to 2 axes. When using four or less ports, the usable baud rate is up to 230.4 kbps and usable pulse output function is up to 6 axes.
