1. Advanced Control Functions
■High-speed counter function (all series)
The built-in high-speed counter function supports four modes: two-phase input, UP, DOWN, and UP/DOWN.
The FP1 can read the input regardless of the scan time.
• Application: Pattern output function (all series)
■Pulse output function (transistor output type)
This function allows the output of a direct pulse (45 Hz to 4.9 k Hz) from the FP1. In combination with a drive, a
motor can be controlled. As direct pulse is possible, an additional positioning controller is not necessary. As the C56
and C72 series have two pulse outputs, they also support motor drives with one input for forward and the other input
for reverse driving. To prevent incorrect forward/reverse driving, create an interlock circuit outside of the FP1.
• Position control: C56 and C72 series
These also support drives with two pulse inputs. In
addition, it is not necessary to connect the pulse
output to the high-speed counter (Y7 to X0).
C14, C16, C24, and C40 series
These support drives with one pulse input and one
direction switching input. When using a drive with
two pulse inputs, a switching circuit based on an
external relay is necessary.

This function allows the setting of a maximum of

1-1. Features
■Interrupt input function (C24, C40, C56, and C72 series)
This function executes an interrupt program immediately after an external interrupt input (minimum pulse width of
0.2 ms) occurs, regardless of the input timing. It enables high-speed processing at a fixed timing and is not affected
by scan time. Therefore, it is useful when performing control which would be disrupted by variations in processing
time due to such factors as timing synchronization.
Timing control on a board inspection line
Immediately executes interrupt program
when an edge detection signal comes in by
interrupt input from Sensor 1. Sensor 2
inspects the part, and if an abnormality is
detected, the conveyor stops and the
abnormality is reported.
■Pulse catch input function (all series)
This function catches input pulse signals
down to a minimum width of 0.5 ms. It is
effective for situations such as when the
sensor detects the moving target at a high
speed.
■Adjustable input time filtering function (all series*)
This function allows the input response
time (input time constant) to be changed
within a range of 1 to 128 ms in
accordance with the input device
connected. This prevents input errors due
to such causes as limit switch chattering
noise.
* For E8 and E16 series, input response
time is fixed as 2 ms.
■Manual dial-set register control function (all series)
This function makes it possible to change the values of special data registers DT9040 to 9043 within a range of 0 to
255 using the potentiometers on the front face of the Control Unit. Input settings involving analog-type numerical
data such as analog timer and pulse output frequency changes can be performed.

■Forced ON/OFF control function (all series)
This function allows the state of the input and output
contacts to be forced ON or OFF with a programming tool
(NPST-GR Software, etc.). By forcing the output contact
ON or OFF, the connection on the output side can be
checked. By forcing the input contact ON or OFF, the
program can be checked.
■Password protection function (all series)
This function forbids reading and writing of the program and system registers. It can be used for program protection
and when secrecy is required.
■Constant length scan setting function (all series)
The duration of one scan is fixed by setting it to units of 2.5 ms, eliminating variation in the scan time.
■Clock/Calendar control function (C24C, C40C, C56C, and C72C types)
By means of year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and day of the week settings, this function makes it possible to
change temporal elements of control. It can be used for temporal control of such items as lighting, air conditioning,
and equipment.

2. Communication Functions
■Computer link function (MEWTOCOL)
This function allows the reading and writing of FP1 contact information and data register content from a host
computer. It can be used for such applications as data collection and the monitoring of operating conditions.
Communication between one computer and one FP1 Control Unit
• Using RS232C port (C24C, C40C, C56C, and C72C types)
The RS232C port can be used for direct connection to a
personal computer, allowing the easy performance of a 1:1
computer link.
• Using programming tools connector (RS422 port) (all series)
The RS422 port can also be used for a 1:1 computer link by
connecting it through an RS422/232C Adapter.
Note:
Communication between one computer and 32 FP1 Control Units
Using a C-NET Adapter, a maximum of 32 FP1 units can be connected with one personal computer. If a bar code
reader is connected via the RS232C port, this system can be used for collection of various production control
information.
• Refer to C-NET LINK UNIT Technical Manual for details about computer link function.

Type Specification
FP1 Transmitter Master Unit enables the FP1 to
exchange I/O information with slave stations at a
remote site using a twisted pair cable. By connecting
with another FP1 Transmitter Master Unit or with an
FP3 Transmitter Master Unit, you can exchange I/O
information with another FP1. Communication
medium (RS485 port): Twisted pair cable up to 32
inputs and 32 outputs can be controlled per unit.
The FP1 I/O Link Unit is the interface unit for
exchanging I/O information between an FP3/FP5
and an FP1.
When the FP1 is connected to the FP3/FP5 Remote
I/O System via the FP1 I/O Link Unit, you can
exchange I/O information serially, using a
2-conductor cable.

Note:
• Expansion units (E8 and E16 series) which do not require power supply cannot be connected in
succession. For this reason, when an E8 series or an E16 series is used as a primary expansion unit, it
can only be combined with E24 or E40 series as secondary expansion unit.
■ Control Units (C24, C40, C56 or C72 series)
