New Multi-functional & Economical PLC
CE Approved
CE : Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive
Super-high speed of 80 ns/step for 0 to 3000 steps (ST command). 580 ns/step
processing speed for 3001 steps or more (Only for L40 and L60).
L14 and L30: 2.5 k steps
L40 and L60: 8 k steps
One control unit can be connected with up to 3 expansion units. Therefore, the maximum number can reach 150 points.
In addition, if the expansion FP0 adaptor is used, the maximum number can reach 216 points when the FP0R expansion unit is used. (Only for L40R, L40MR, L60R and L60MR)
One RS232C programming port is equipped on the body. And RS485 communication port is also built in L40MR and L60MR.
Non-program communication with the devices (such as the temperature controller and the inverter etc.) using global universal industry standard Modbus-RTU (binary) can be realized simply.
If L40MR and L60MR are used, the sharing of bit data and word data among 16 PLCs (max.) can be realized.
Non-program communication with the devices (such as the display, image processor, temperature controller and wattmeter etc.) using Panasonic open protocol “MEWTOCOL” can be realized simply.
It can generate or send the corresponding commands according to the communication protocol used by the pairing device. In addition, it can also receive the flow data, such as the data from the measuring instrument, bar code reader and RF-ID etc.

(30 points) × (Ry, NPN, PNP) (AC, DC)
Specific unit for input (E16X)
Specific unit for output (E14YR)
3 units max. can be added.
E16X, E16T, E16P upgraded to Ver.3 or later can be connected (The number of connected units is limited.)
14 to 150 points (FP0R expansion units excluded)
L14 is 1-axis pulse output, while L30/L40/L60 are 2-axis, and the pulse output function is built in the body of the controller.
Built-in 2-axis type can realize linear interpolation (Only for L40 and L60).
Multi-functional analog input (10 bit, 2-channel)
Voltage input (0 to 10 V), thermistor input and adjustable potentiometer input.
If the customer can not predict the number of I/O points needed by his machineries and devices in the future, he will feel hesitant and uncomfortable. But, the I/O number of FP-X0 can reach 150 points max. by using the FP-X expansion unit. Therefore, the customer’s discomfort and hesitation can be eliminated.
And the number of I/O points can be expanded to 216 by using the FP0R expansion unit.
(L14R and L30R don’t have the expansion function, so they can not be expanded.)
The maximum number of expansion unit is up to 3 units
[Expansion]
E16X, E16T and E16P upgraded to Ver.3 or later can be connected in series up to 3 units.
But, E14 and E16 expansion units can not be connected at the right sides of E16X/E16T/E16P (Ver.2 earlier) or E16R/E14YR
The cable between the units can be bent to realize the side-by-side installation, thus saving the installation space
The maximum number of FP0R expansion unit is up to 3 after all the control units are equipped with adaptors.
A wider range of application can be achieved by using[transistor output],[analog I/O],[thermocouple input]and[I/O LINK (network)].
Only one FP0 expansion adaptor can be installed on the control unit.
In addition, two FP-X expansion units can be installed after the adaptor is installed.
Both of them are 90 mm and can be installed in the cabinet.
Besides the supplied expansion cable of 8 cm, 30 cm and 80 cm types are also sold separately.
They can be bent or straightened. (The total extension length is within 160 cm.)
The pulse output function of FP-X0 (1-axis for L14 and 2-axis for L30/L40/L60) is built in the body of the control unit. Compared with the previous PLC that must use the advanced or specific positioning units or more than two multi-axis control devices, FP-X0 only uses one unit basically, thus saving the space and reducing the cost.
2-axis linear interpolation is a kind of function that controls 2 motor axes and makes the robot arm and tool head carry out diagonal line moving simultaneously, which is applied in the stacker’s picking & mounting components, the control of XY workbench and the baseplate cutting etc.
Built-in 4-point high-speed counter

A wider range of temperature-control applications is achieved through the use of PLC, such as the multi-section temperature control, temperature control linked with the timer, variabletemperature control based on the data calculation results and multi-point temperature control etc.
Using new PID commands (F356 EZPID) makes the PID control program simplified substantially than before. It was considered relatively hard to carry out temperature control through PLC before, but now it becomes quite easy. The example shown at the right side is a simple constant temperature control. If you use the F356 command together with the combination operation of touch screen, only one line of program is needed, thus making PID control amazingly simple.
