Communication
Four quick and easy snap-on cassettes are available to add different
serial ports to the FPΣ (Sigma). All ports are capable of communicating
at speeds of up to 115.2Kbps.
Positioning
In addition to a host of handy Panasonic functions,
the FPΣ (Sigma) also offers circular and linear interpolation.
Circular interpolation can be used for applications that apply glue, linear
interpolation for pick & place applications, for example.
By combining the FPΣ (Sigma) with servo motors, you can perform real
2-axis motion control.
Temperature Control
With the thermocouple input units and our accurate unique PID and
IPD algorithms, temperature can be controlled more easily and
accurately than ever.
FPΣ (Sigma)
The next generation compact PLC
Highlights
State-of-the-art PLC technology in the most compact size plus the ability to communicate via all important modern media
characterize the FPΣ (Sigma). With its two 100kHz pulse outputs, four hardware counters that function at up to 50kHz for
positioning applications, a programming memory capable of storing 32,000 steps, a real-time clock, and communication interfaces
for RS232 and RS485, FPΣ (Sigma) is one of the most flexible PLCs on the market. Remarkably, it is also one of the smallest!
