FPS (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 FPS (Sigma). With its two 100kHz pulse outputs, four high speed 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 RS232C and RS485, FPS (Sigma) is one of the most flexible PLCs on the market. Remarkably, it is also one of the smallest!
Communication
Four quick and easy snap-on cassettes are available to add
different serial ports to the FPS (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 FPS (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 FPS (Sigma) with
servo motors, you can perform real 2-axis motion control.

Rapid 0.02ms start (when JOG operation controls are executed)
The time taken to execute the JOG operation, from the instant the trigger (execution condition) goes on to the time of pulse output,
is 0.02ms and 0.2ms even with trapezoidal control. Control time is reduced even for machines that quickly and repeatedly restart.
Linear interpolation and circular interpolation are built in
(FPG-C32T2H-A and FPG-C28P2H-A)
Interpolation functions enable simultaneous control of two axes.
Applications that a compact PLC couldn‘t previously cope with are
no longer a challenge.

And there’s more:
Support for CW/CCW method
You can choose to set either 30 or 60 steps of acceleration/
deceleration. This feature means you can achieve smoother
movement during long acceleration/ deceleration periods of
stepping motors.
The settings are there for a maximum 60 accelaration/
deceleration steps.

FPS (Sigma) Flexible Network Slave units
Powerful, modular network units
The Flexible Network Slave (FNS) units are powerful, modular network units used together with the programmable controllers
FPS (Sigma). By exchanging compact network blocks, you can connect to various networking systems without having to modify
your entire hardware platform. The blocks are available for three bus systems: PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and CANopen. Others are
planned for the future.

No special tools are required for mounting. You can mount the blocks in the device at any phase between manufacturer and end
customer without having to worry about special protective provisions.
Advantages:
Wide range of connectivity solutions for FPS (Sigma) and FP2/FP2SH.
One PLC hardware platform for several bus systems.
Fast reaction on new market trends possible with existing units.
No additional hardware development needed. You need only to exchange
the network block.
Very small and compact size.
For each network type ready-made function libraries are available for the programming software
FPWIN Pro, which can be downloaded from Panasonic Electric Works’ internet homepage. These libraries will drastically shorten
the time needed to develop your applications and consequently save valuable human resource costs. They also include a complete
online help file and programming examples. In addition, you need the GSD or EDS files which describe how the slave modules
communicate with the master module. Also these can be downloaded from the same internet homepage.

The optimal network solution for your facility
The expansion Fieldbus Master Units (FMU) allow you to integrate FPΣ (Sigma) PLCs into your network with a maximum degree of
flexibility. The units are available for three bus systems: PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and CANopen. Others are planned for the future.
FPS FMU PROFIBUS:
FPG-DPV1-M
FPS FMU DeviceNet:
FPG-DEV-M
FPS FMU CANopen:
FPG-CAN-M
Advantages:
Wide range of connectivity solutions for FPΣ (Sigma).
One PLC hardware platform for several bus systems.
Gateway function between Fieldbus types simply by connecting the
corresponding expansion units to the same CPU.
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.
The configuration software is 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
Fieldbus Master Units (FMU) Library for PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and
CANopen can be downloaded free of charge from Panasonic Electric
Works’ internet homepage.
Control Configurator FM is an add-on
software for Control FPWIN Pro and is
used to configure and diagnose the FMUs.

FPS (Sigma) S-Link expansion unit
Flexible wire-saving link system S-Link
Features
Up to four S-Link units can be attached to one FPS (Sigma) CPU.
Each unit supports up to 128 I/O signals over a pair of wires up to a distance of 200m
(400m when a booster is used).
The combination of input and output point quantities (a total of 128 points max.) can be set by the rotary
switch in increments of 32 points.
The transmission line connection is realized via a T-branch multi-drop wiring with hook-up connectors.
Adding devices is rendered easy and maintenance is easy.
FPS (Sigma) + S-Link unit
FPΣ +
S-LINK unit
FPG-SL
Features
24VDC
The four-wire cable (two signal wires and two power wires) enables efficient
wiring, and the T-branch wirinig enables a flexible connection layout.
About 60 types of S-Link input/output devices can be
connected to this unit, enabling it to meet diverse I/O
35 Ms
needs. In addition, the high transmission voltage
(24VDC) and the wide clock width (35µs) provide high
noise immunity. Flexible and reliable wiring is available,
reducing the wiring work.
Features
The control unit automatically recognizes I/O allocation in accordance with the attached S-Link unit
position, making the S-Link unit as easy to use as a common expansion I/O device.
If the main wire is broken and an input/output device cannot be recognized, then the S-Link unit displays
the device number. This function significantly reduces the time required for troubleshooting during an
equipment startup check or recovering from on-site problems.

FPS (Sigma)
Supports the enhancement of your equipment’s performance
Network enhancement
Modbus-compatible
FPS (Sigma) is compatible with the world‘s
de facto standard Modbus* and can serve
as both Modbus RTU master and slave,
making it ideal for air conditioning or
temperature control etc.
FPS (Sigma) can serve as Modbus master or slave
Can be used as a master station [F145 (Write) and F146 (Read) instructions].
Can easily communicate with temperature controllers, inverters, FP-e and
overseas PLCs.
Also serves as
a slave station.
* Protocol developed by Modicon Inc.,
an American company
Other available applications
When 17 or more FPS (Sigma) units need to be
linked, you can use the Modbus function instead
of MEWNET-W0 to link up to 99 units. Since each
FPS (Sigma) unit can be either a master or a slave,
a multi-master link can be created by passing a
token from a user program.

Security enhancement
Programs are copy-protected by the upload restriction setting and an eight-character password.
The setting to inhibit the uploading of PLC programs to PCs protects your programs from unauthorized copying. (If this setting is
released, programs in the PLC are forcibly cleared.)
An eight-character password has been adopted. (The conventional four-character password is also available.)
Approx. 218 trillion passwords can be set by combining eight alphanumeric characters, making it nearly impossible to crack the
password set.
Debugging performance enhancement
Up to 512 steps can be rewritten simultaneously in RUN mode.
This improvement allows efficient program debugging without stopping the operation.
