Password protection
Program upload is easily prohibited by tool software FPWIN.
More secure 8-character password can be used along with the previous
4-character password.
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 the program in the master memory to FP-X even during an upload-prohibi-
ted condition. The transferred program in FP-X is set up with the same upload prohibition and permission conditions used in the
master memory.
The combination of upper and lower case alphanumeric characters produces 218 trillion combinations. In addition, after 3 con-
secutive entry failures, a power reset is required for password release.

Protects your important programs by preventing illegal copies.
Using a standard USB port makes it unnecessary to use an an expensive USB conversion adapter/
cable for connecting a PC to the PLC.*
C30 and C60 control units
have a USB port as standard
equipment. They can be easi-
ly connected to a PC with a
commercially available USB
cable (AB type), making pro-
gram editing/monitoring
available. It is no longer nec-
essary to bring a dedicated
cable to remote locations.
