Economy PLC
04 February 2016
Suitable for standalone systems the FP7 economy PLC from Panasonic features improved performance coupled with a smaller design, extensive communication features, and integrated motion control.
Its compact size allows easy integration into machines, for example in pick & place applications, where saving space is mandatory. The PLC only needs 14ns per program step. The modular CPU can be expanded by up to 16 expansion units. This allows for great flexibility in the FP7 family.
In addition, a great number of application and communication cassettes from the FP7 product family are available. These add-on cassettes can be added to the CPU to increase functionality without increasing the footprint of the system. Maintenance and hour meter operation are possible thanks to the integrated clock/calendar function.
