The FP0R PLC product range has been further enhanced with the addition of five new analogue I/O modules

The high speed, highly compact FP0R PLC system is made up of a series of powerful CPU modules offering I/O counts between 10 and 32 points and can be expanded with various digital I/O and communication modules.

The introduction of the new analogue modules further enhances the systems machine control capabilities for speed control in various industries.

Spit into various combinations of analogue input, analogue output and both combined analogue input and output, the specification of the modules is significantly improved over the previous generation of product.

Whilst the new models offer the same footprint and mounting arrangement as the previous generation an increase in performance is realised with an improvement in resolution to 14 bits.

The units can be configured for 12 bit performance to allow compatibility with previous applications.
The added input range of -10V to +10V now means all industry standard ranges for voltage and current control are now supported by the FP0R system.

Programmed using Panasonics FPWINPro7 Software, applications can be written in a combination of languages including Ladder Diagram, Function Block using Program Organisation Units to allow the program to be structured and easy to read.
