AFP7CPS2R Panasonic FP7 CPU Unit – 64k Steps, 14 ns/Step, RS-232C
The Panasonic AFP7CPS2R is a CPU unit for the FP7, Panasonic’s modular, rack-less PLC platform for medium and large machines. It is the compact-capacity model of the FP7 CPU range, with up to 64,000 program steps, a basic instruction speed of 14 ns/step and a built-in flash ROM that keeps the program without a backup battery. It addresses up to 8,192 inputs and 8,192 outputs. A built-in clock/calendar is included, and an RS-232C port supports general-purpose communication, computer link and Modbus RTU. It suits machine builders who need FP7’s modularity and processing power without the larger memory and Ethernet of the higher FP7 CPU models.
