14 Mar 2008
Fieldbus Master Units for the Panasonic PLCs FP-Sigma and FP2

The optimal network solution for your facility. The communication units allow you to flexibly integrate FP-Sigma and FP2 PLCs into your facility. PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and CANopen units are available. Other FMUs are planned.

Advantages:
  • Wide range of connectivity solutions for FP-Sigma and FP2/FP2SH PLCs to open fieldbus systems
  • One PLC hardware platform for several bus systems
  • Gateway function between fieldbus types simply by connecting the corresponding expansion units to the same CPU
  • Compact size

Up to 2 Fieldbus Master Units can be connected to the FP-Sigma CPU. With FP2, the number of Fieldbus Master Units that can be connected is limited by the number of slots on the backplane and power available.

To configure and diagnose the FMUs, the software Control Configurator FM is available. It is an add-on software for the PLC programming software FPWIN Pro.

Advantages:

  • One configuration software for various fieldbus systems
    • one-time cost, several network types
    • only one installation necessary
    • user must only be trained to use one software
  • Integrated in the PLC programming software Control FPWIN Pro
    • no additional software required on the PC
    • bus-relevant global variables are automatically generated for the PLC program
    • easy creation of system variables
