FP-X series
The most important highlights at a glance:
1 software for all FP Series PLCs.
5 programming languages (instruction list, ladder diagram, function block diagram,
sequential function chart, structured text) available for all PLCs.
Program organization units, task and project management provide clear structure.
Reuse of ready-made functions and function blocks saves time for programming and
debugging.
Online monitoring and diagnostics.
Forcing—turning off input and output contacts via the PC.
Extensive comments—online documentation created hand in hand with the program.
Modem communication for remote programming, service and diagnostics.
Extensive comments—online documentation created hand in hand with the program.
6 languages are supported: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. 

FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard IEC 61131-3 (for Windows
98, NT V4.0, 2000, ME, XP or Vista). This new version is a result of experience gained over many years. We were one of the first
PLC manufacturers to offer IEC 61131-3 programming software, and we are a leading member of the international organization
PLCopen.
Input and output variables
are defined once in the
global variable list
Part numbers:
FPWINPROF: Full version supports all
FP Series PLCs
FPWINPROS: Small version, supports
FP-e, FP0, FP-X and
FP S(Sigma)
Multiple address assigment
is caught automatically
by the compiler
Local variables are
allocated automatically
by the compiler
Type safe programming
using simple or complex
data types
Comfortable programming
in the graphical LD editor
(ladder diagram)
1 instruction for
different data types
(overloaded instructions)
Long variable names
make the program self-
explanatory
Special functions for con-
trolling the SFC program
from another program
Additional window for
monitoring and
forcing variables
The SFC editor (Sequential
Function Chart) allows
you to easily visualize
processes
Navigator with tree
representation of called
functions provides an
overview even for very
complex projects
Functions can be saved in
libraries for future reuse
Structuring with
selection statements
Using allias names for PLC- independent
access on the special data registers, e.g.
RTC
Using loops for running through incom-
ing data…
…or arrays.
The ST editor (Structured Text)
solves complex programming tasks
Using STRING functions for
analyzing incoming data…
…or for generating formatted
output strings
