Cassette system reduces unit cost and footprint
|
With ease and at low cost, extend the serial communication and analog
functionality of CPU units.
|
* Ethernet is a registered trademark of FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp and Xerox Corporation in the United States.
|
|
Moreover, when used as a serial communication unit, expansion to as
many as 35 channels is possible. Reduces cost and footprint.

Refer to "Applications"
>>Applications
FTP(S) client function (SSL/TLS-compatible)
The FP7 can generate and write data files to an FTP server on a PC as well as read data files from the FTP server.
The sessions use SSL/TLS, protecting IDs and passwords. |
 |
|
Refer to "Applications"
>>Applications
HTTP(S) client function (SSL/TLS-compatible)
Transfer data from the FP7 to a web server for easy viewing with a browser. Send and receive data from multiple FP7 units on a schedule controlled by the FP7.
Communicate both inside the firewall on an intranet and outside the firewall to the wider world through the Internet.
Allow users from around the world to access the current
state of their equipment. |

Web server function
Monitor and control the FP7 without the use of custom software. Users can check the accumulated data in the FP7 with a browser.
Refer to "Applications"
>>Applications
Check available in two Web contents
Custom Web
Screens (content) that are setup as desired by the user with Control Web Creator are uploaded to the FP7. Then, the information in the FP7's internal Web server can be monitored on a browser. |

Co., Ltd. and Xerox Corporation. |
|
Control Web Creator
This is a graphics creation tool that allows you to easily design Web content that is published by the FP7. You can creatively design content by arranging Web components such as switches, lamps and meters on the screen and then setting the properties. Your content will be linked to information in the PLC without needing any knowledge of HTML.
・Same style of operation as the program display image creation tool
・Components can be arranged by dragging and dropping.
・Detailed component settings are easy using properties.
・Components don't lose quality when enlarged or reduced, and you can color them as desired.
・Images can be pasted in. |
 |
|
System Web
This is the Web content that is contained as default in the CPU unit.
Status of the FP7 (settings, operation history, errors, etc.) can be checked. |
 |
|
Even without Control FPWIN GR7 ladder editing software, as long as you have a browser, you can check the FP7 status.
You can view the data register, etc., using a PC or smartphone.

Information updates viewable in e-mail.
The managers can receive and view e-mailed malfunction notifications and daily reports of equipment operations.
E-mail sending function (SSL-compatible)
Use instructions and timings controlled by the FP7 to send e-mails on a pre-set schedule or when a pre-set condition changes in the PLC. The e-mails can have data files attached and communication is SSL-capable to protect the e-mails. |

Motion Control of Up to 64 axes in One Unit.
A Single FP7 Motion Control Unit can Control 64 axes of MINAS A6B and 32 Virtual axes.
It is Now Easier to Perform Multiple axial Control.(Dedicated unit for MINAS A6B series)
 |
| *EtherCAT® is registered trademark and patented technology, licensed by Beckhoff Automation GmbH, Germany. |
|
- Up to 32 synchronous groups! (32 groups of 2 axes to 2 groups of 32 axes)
- Industry's fastest class with 0.5 ms* control cycle
- Control system: Cyclic position control
- Positioning table: 1,000 tables / axis
*4 axes (2-axis interpolation × 2 groups). Our company created send/receive allocation.
- Supported Servo Motors
MINAS A6B Series
Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd.
To learn more about servo motors, please contact Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd..
>>MINAS A6B Series
Operational status of motor is remotely monitored.
More powerful preventative maintenance and historical management.
Through use of Web server function on FP7 CPU unit, remote monitoring is possible of things such as torque, speed and position of the motor. Also, with inclusion of peripheral sensor, total operation monitoring is achieved. |
 |
|
Smooth debugging at startup.
Unit equipped with SD memory card.
Communications log can be analyzed at startup which makes debugging easy. |
 |
*When logging during operation, be aware of communication lags on the EtherCAT side when data is being written.
*Please use the Ethernet function built-in type CPU units (AFP7CPS□E, AFP7CPS□ES). |

Select the functions you need and control various devices! Multi Input/Output Unit
Select the functions you need among the many available and achieve a wide range of control with one unit.
■For example
・Control possible of connected dedicated boards, custom-built jigs, and all types of sensors.
Can also be used for central control of devices with different voltage and as a converter for 5 V devices. |
 |
|
Capable of direct inspection in inspection lines for 5 V drive electronic components. |
 |
|
Direct Connection to FP7 Series Programmable Controller！[SL-VFP7]
|
SL-VFP7
■I/O points:
32 to 512 points
(Settable in units of 32 points)
■No. of connected nodes:
Max. 256 nodes
■Transmission distance:
Max. 800 m 2624.672 ft
|
|
Minimum wiring work means cost reduction and space saving.
Direct bus connection eliminates the need for PLC I/O connectors, S-LINK V controller or PLC I/O modules, thus realizing the reduction of the entire system cost and installation space.
Up to 64 SL-VFP7 units can be connected to FP7 series programmable logic controller.
The FP7 series allows connection of up to 64 SL-VFP7 units so that a maximum of 32,768 I/O points (512 points × 64) or 16,384 nodes (256 nodes × 64) can be controlled.
 |
| * |
When AFP7CPS2R (sold separately) is used as the FP7 CPU unit, FP7 extension master / slave units (sold separately) cannot be used, so only up to 16 SL-VFP7 units can be mounted in that case. |
