Memory and I/O control
Equipped with an adequate program memory and operating memory capacity
The body is compact; however, the standard program memory capacity of FP/FPSH is as large as 16k/60k steps, and when
optional memory is added, 3k/10k steps. A variety of operation memory types are also available. The maximum number of
controlled I/O points is ,048 (,048/8,19 for FP/FPSH when using remote I/O units), which is sufficient for medium-scale
control.

Addition of optional memory
FP: Addition of optional memory to the CPU unit allows it
to store up to 3k program steps, provides it with the
clock/calendar function, and makes comment writing
possible.
FPSH: An optional IC card can be used as program memory
or expanded data memory.
I/O point expansion by adding backplanes
See page 14 for details.
Optional memory
for FPSH
CPU backplane
H type backplane
Up to three backplanes can be added to one master backplane.
Now up to 3 units can be connected and up to ,048 I/O points
controlled.

Expansion backplane
Master backplane (8 slots)
(The backplane can be used as either a master
or expansion backplane.)
Expansion
cable
Conventional type H type
Max. number of backplanes 1 + 1 =  1 for master + 3 for expansion = 4
Max. number of units 1 + 13 = 5 8 + 8 x 3 = 3
Max. number of I/O points 5 x 64 = 1,600 3 x 64 = ,048
Max. cable length 1 cable, m 3 cables, 3.m
The H type and conventional type cannot be used in combination.
Conventional backplane
Only one backplane can be added to one master backplane.
When both the master and expansion backplanes are of the 14-
module type, up to 1,600 I/O points can be controlled.
