● 3-color Display

Simple characters and numerical values
can be displayed. Simple messages as
well as timer/counter settings and
elapsed values can also be displayed.

● Built-in operation switch

Setting values can be changed. The
operation switch can also be used as an
input.

● Compact

Panel mountable, little space is taken up
on the control panel. The size is only 48 ×
48 × 70 mm (behind faceplate).

● Matches FP0 intelligence

(equivalent to FP0-C14)

● Panel mounted type

(in accordance with IP66,
IEC standard)

To match panel design,
a black faceplate is
available.

Same programming tools used as with the FP Series

One programming software for all PLC types

Programming software and cables are
common for all FP Series PLCs, so that
any program created for the FP Series
can be used by the FP-e as well.
FPWIN Pro Ver.5 and FPWIN GR
from Ver.2.3 offer a dialog to configure
the screen display of the FP-e easily.
You can check the result of the
configuration directly with the display
in the dialog.

Equipped with high-speed counter for support of 2-axis independent positioning

● Pulse output function

The unit comes equipped with 2 channels for pulse
output of up to 10 kHz pulses.
Since these two channels can be separately controlled,
the FP-e is also suitable for 2-axis independent
positioning.

● High-speed counter function

In single phase, the 4-channel total is 10 kHz, and in 2­phase the 2-channel total is 2 kHz total speed, making
the FP-e suitable for inverter control, etc.
