AFPXHC30TD Panasonic FP-XH C30TD PLC – 24 V DC, 16 Inputs, 14 NPN Outputs
The Panasonic AFPXHC30TD is the FP-XH C30TD control unit, a compact terminal-block PLC powered from 24 V DC. It has 16 × 24 V DC inputs and 14 NPN transistor outputs rated 0.5 A at 5–24 V DC. The FP-XH is Panasonic’s current high-performance compact range, with basic instructions running at 0.04 µs per step and up to 40k steps of program memory. The C30TD has built-in high-speed counters and four 100 kHz pulse outputs for multi-axis positioning. It expands to 300 I/O points and up to five communication ports, including Modbus RTU master/slave. The AFPXHC30TD is the recommended FP-XH substitute for the discontinued FP-X C30TD (AFPX-C30TD), with the same 24 V DC supply and the same 16-input / 14-NPN-output layout.

Replacing an FP-X C30TD (AFPX-C30TD)
Panasonic discontinued the FP-X series in 2021 and recommends the FP-XH range as its substitute. The AFPXHC30TD matches the AFPX-C30TD in power supply (24 V DC) and I/O configuration (16 inputs, 14 NPN outputs). It is the current part to order when an FP-X C30TD needs replacing on existing machines.
Other FP-XH C30 Control Units
- AFPXHC30T – 16 inputs / 14 NPN outputs, 100–240 V AC supply
- AFPXHC30PD – 16 inputs / 14 PNP outputs, 24 V DC supply
- AFPXHC30RD – 16 inputs / 14 relay outputs (2 A), 24 V DC supply
