FP-X series

Positioning

FP-X perfectly fits the need for low cost “multi-axis positioning control in small-scale equipment”.

Built-in 4-axis pulse output (Transistor output type)

The transistor output type C14 comes with 3-axis while C30/C60 comes with 4-axis pulse output inside the control unit. The multi-axis control, which previously required a higher-level PLC or additional positioning unit, or 2 or more PLC units, can now be achieved with only 1 FP-X transistor output type unit in a small space at a low cost. In addition, as this type does not require a pulse I/O cassette as needed for a relay output type, other function expansion cassettes such as communication or analog in- put can be attached for more diversified applications.

The relay output type can control 2 axes by using the expansion cassettes.

Pulse output up to 2-axis 80kHz is possi- ble by loading 2 pulse I/O cassettes (AFPX-PLS). Also capable of performing 2-axis linear interpolation.

2-axis linear interpolation simultaneously in 2 sets (Transistor output type)

2-axis linear interpolation refers to moving a robot arm or equipment head diagonally on a straight line by simultaneously controlling 2 motor shafts. It is used for palletizing, component pick and place, XY table control, contour cutting of a PC board etc. The FP-X transistor output type is capable of simultaneously controlling 2-axis linear interpolation, for the first time in the industry with a com- pact pulse-output PLC. This unit dramatically expands the range of applications along with the added convenience of programming by using the linear interpolation commands F175 (SPSH).
