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.

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.
Remark:
Pulse I/O cassette does not work with control unit
transistor output type.

Simultaneous control of 2

Controls 2 units of 2-axis XY table
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).
The relay output type is also capable
of 2-axis linear interpolation.
By adding 2 pulse I/O cassettes (AFPX-
PLS), linear interpolation is possible at the
maximum composite speed of 80kHz. The
command used for this unit is F175 (SPSH),
same as that for the transistor output
types.
High-speed counters—8 built-in sets
When adding a pulse I/O cassette to the relay output type, 2 high-speed counter sets can be added to
every cassette. Please refer to the user manual for counter specification.
