Memory and I/O control
Equipped with an adequate program memory and operating memory capacity
The body is compact; however, the standard program memory capacity of FP2/FP2SH is as large as 16k/60k steps, and when
optional memory is added, 32k/120k steps. A variety of operation memory types are also available. The maximum number of
controlled I/O points is 2,048 (2,048/8,192 for FP2/FP2SH when using remote I/O units), which is sufficient for medium-scale
control.

Addition of optional memory
FP2: Addition of optional memory to the CPU unit allows it
to store up to 32k program steps, provides it with the
clock/calendar function, and makes comment writing
possible.

The Flexible Network Slave (FNS) unit is a powerful, modular network unit used together with the programmable con-
trollers FP2 and FP2SH. By exchanging compact network blocks, you can connect to various networking systems
without having to modify your entire hardware platform. The blocks are available for three bus systems: PROFIBUS,
DeviceNet and CANopen. Others are planned for the future.

The multifunctional FP Web-Server provides users with the option of connecting any FP Series PLC to the Internet/Intranet for
bi-directional communication via Ethernet. No changes to the PLC programs are necessary. Simply assign an IP address to the
FP Web-Server and connect the PLC to the FP Web-Server via the serial RS232C interface. A standard browser, e.g. MS Internet
Explorer, can be used for access at the PC. The Windows-based program FP Web Configurator Tool helps you easily set up and
configure the FP Web-Server.
The FP Web-Server´s 3 interfaces
100Base-TX / 10Base-T (RJ45, twisted pair)
– connects to the Ethernet at 100Mbit/s
RS232C (screw terminal)
– connects to the PLC at 1200 to 115.2kbit/s
RS232C (SUB-D 9 male)
– connects to a modem
