Other Highlights

Communication

Four quick and easy snap-on cassettes are available to add different

serial ports to the FPΣ(Sigma). All ports are capable of communicating

at speeds of up to 115.2Kbps.

Positioning

In addition to a host of handy Panasonic functions,

the FPΣ(Sigma) also offers circular and linear interpolation.

Circular interpolation can be used for applications that apply glue, linear

interpolation for pick & place applications, for example.

By combining the FPΣ(Sigma) with servo motors, you can perform real

2-axis motion control.

Temperature Control

With the thermocouple input units and our accurate unique PID and

IPD algorithms, temperature can be controlled more easily and

accurately than ever.

FPΣ(Sigma)

The next generation compact PLC

Highlights

State-of-the-art PLC technology in the most compact size plus the ability to communicate via all important modern media

characterize the FPΣ(Sigma). With its two 100kHz pulse outputs, four hardware counters that function at up to 50kHz for

positioning applications, a programming memory capable of storing 32,000 steps, a real-time clock, and communication interfaces

for RS232 and RS485, FPΣ(Sigma) is one of the most flexible PLCs on the market. Remarkably, it is also one of the smallest!

FPΣ(Sigma)

Optimised communication functions

With the RS485 type communication cassette...

Despite being compact you can create powerful PLC links!

More links than you imagined a compact PLC could achieve

(2,048 link relays / 256-word link data registers)

Can be used to share product type between different machines.

Can be used for interlocking between different machines.

Easy wiring between PLCs with twin-core cabling.

Masterless communication method

(when PLC linkage is achieved with link relays and link data registers)

The masterless communication method means that even if a connected device (station) goes into power off, operations to

automatically switch the master station continue. Start up is smooth and the recovery from malfunctions is also potentially faster.

If the master station is not on,

communication cannot take place.

Errors occur when devices are not

turned on in sequence.

Use of insulated RS485

Uses the insulated RS485, which is highly reliable and largely impervious to noise.

High-speed communication over long distances are enabled.

Transmission speed: Max. 115.2kbits/s Transmission distance: Max. 1.200m

Even if a station goes into a power-

off state, communications between

the other stations continue.

FPΣ(Sigma)

Optimised communication functions

Convenient station no. setting function enables flexible use, even when there are product type

changes.

Station no. switchability allows the use of unified programming and program switching.

Because even the communications parameters can be changed in the program, connection is enabled with

external devices that have different communication parameters.

Great for these applications, too...

Computer linkage with up to 99 stations enabled (max. 32 stations when using C-NET adapter).

Ability to gather data from multiple stations means greater design freedom.

Can also be connected to external devices that are equipped with RS485 interface

Enables connection to external devices, such as temperature regulators,

that are equipped with RS485 interface.

Applicable with data gathering or setting adjustment.

With the RS232C type communications cassette

Efficient connection with other control devices helps to save space!

Enables connection to devices with RS232C interface, such as a

programmable display panel, image processing device and other devices.

When used as a tool port, up to 3 external devices can be connected.

Max. 100kHz pulse output performance is now standard.

Powerful device capable of linear interpolation and circular interpolation.

Pulse output max. 100kHz

Because command processing at speeds up to 100kHz is available, high-

speed, high-precision positioning is enabled. Along with stepping motor

control, the specs also ensure plenty of scope for controlling servomotors.

Rapid 0.02ms start (when JOG operation controls are executed)

The time taken to execute the JOG operation, from the instant the trigger (execution condition) goes on to the time of pulse output,

is 0.02ms and 0.2ms even with trapezoidal control. Control time is reduced even for machines that quickly and repeatedly restart.

And there’s more...

Smooth acceleration/deceleration

You can choose to set either 30 or 60 steps of acceleration/

deceleration. This feature means you can achieve smoother

movement during long acceleration/ deceleration periods of

stepping motors.

The settings are there for a maximum 60

accelaration/deceleration steps.

Support for CW/CCW method

Reduce overall costs by designing systems that combine with

servomotors and small stepping motors without support for

Pulse and Sign method.

Linear interpolation and circular interpolation are built in (FPG-C32T2H and FPG-C28P2H)

Interpolation functions enable simultaneous control of two axes.

Applications that a compact PLC couldn't previously cope with are no

longer a challenge.

Programming with convenient and

easy-to-understand instructions

Uses a preset value table for starting speed, target speed,

acceleration/ deceleration time, and other factors. Easy-to-

understand programming is possible since numbers can be

specified intuitively.

Comes with dedicated instructions for each mode: trapezoidal

control, home return, JOG operation, free table operation,

linear interpolation, and circular interpolation.

Selectable home return mode

The home return method may be specified even in situations

such as when only a single sensor is being used, depending

on the design.

When the home position return is completed, a deviation

counter clear signal can also be output.

Home search automatically reverses the motor rotation when

searches for the home position or near home position in order

to return to it automatically.

This refers to an operation in which the motor is rotated only

while operation commands are being input. This is used to

forcibly rotate the motor using input from an external switch, for

instance when making adjustments. Depending on the

circumstances, unlimited feeding can be accomplished with the

JOG operation in some cases.
