There are difficulties with program management on a PC, such as identifying the latest program. The use of the program in the PLC of equipment in Comment Program operation is often regarded as the best option. Since FP-X has an Independent memory memory independent comment memory, all comments can be stored in the PLC together with programs, facilitating program management and maintenance.

The multi-axis control, which previously required a higher-level PLC or additional positioning unit, or two or more PLC units, can now be achieved with only one 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 needed for a relay output type, other function expansion cassettes such as communication or analog input can be attached for more diversified applications.

When the user cannot predict the number of I/O points required in the future for his machine or equipment, he is uncertain in selecting a PLC model. FP-X solves user concerns with a maximum of 300 I/O channels. The number can even be increased up to 382 points by using the add-on cassettes and FP0 expansion units.

It is used for palletizing, component pick and place, XY table control, contour cutting of a PC board etc. FP-X transistor output type is capable of simultaneously controlling 2-axis linear interpolation, for the first time in the industry with a compact pulse-output PLC.
In addition, the multi-point temperature control enables FP-X the centralized control of multiple temperature controllers with a single FP-X for unified data management. The number can even be increased up to 28 channels by using *1 Derivative type the thermocouple input cassette and FP0 thermocouple unit.
