FP-X series Multi-point PID control High-accuracy PID control is possible by adopting a sophisticated algorithm and floating-point operations. Higher accuracy is obtained by ultra high-speed computations in a 32µs/loop. For example, a 16-loop control only adds a scan time of 0.5ms by ensuring minimum impact on the tact time. The simultaneous multi-point auto-tuning simplifies complex parameter setting. The high-speed control PI-D*¹ mode and overshoot suppression I-PD*² mode are availabl

FP-X series Reassuring data security Protects your important programs by preventing illegal copies. Program upload is easily prohibited by tool software FPWIN. Reading a program from the PLC main unit is virtually impossible. In the upload-prohibited condition, program transfers to the master memory are also prohibited. Release of an upload-prohibited condition is possible with a forced release accompanied by a program deletion. Program updates are easily carried out by transferring th
