Before You Start
Operating environment
(Use the unit within the range of the general specifications when installing)
•Ambient temperatures:0 to +55 °C
•Ambient humidity: 30% to 85% RH (at 25 °C, non−condensing)
•For use in pollution Degree 2 environment.
•Do not use it in the following environments.
−Direct sunlight
−Sudden temperature changes causing condensation.
−Inflammable or corrosive gas.
−Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter.
−Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or
strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda.
−Direct vibration, shock or direct drop of water.
−Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage
equipment, power cables, power equipment, radio transmitters,or
any other equipment that would generate high switching surges.
(100mm or more)
About static electricity
•Do not touch connector pins directly to prevent static electricity
from causing damage.
•Always rid yourself of any static electricity before handling this
product.
Wiring the Power Supply to the Control Unit
•Use a power supply wire that is thicker than 2 mm2(AWG14), and
twist it.
•The unit has sufficient noise immunity against the noise generated
on the power line.
However, it is recommended to take measures for reducing noise
such as using a isolating transformer before supplying the power.
•Allocate an independent wiring for each power supplying line,
input/output device and operating device.
If using a power supply without a protective circuit, power should
be supplied through a protective element such as a fuse.
•Use the same power supply system for the CPU backplane and
expansion backplane so that they are turned on and off
simultaneously.

FP2/FP2SHTable of Contents
viii
Power supply sequence
•In order to protect the power supply sequence, make sure to turn
off the PLC before the input/output power supply. If the input/output
power supply is turned off before the PLC, or if the PLC is not shut
off momentarily, the controller detects change of input level, and
might conduct an unexpected operation.
Before Turning On the Power ( Chapter 4 and Chapter 5)
When turning on the power for the first time, be sure to take the precautions given below.
•When performing installation, check to make sure that there are no
scraps of wiring, particularly conductive fragments, adhering to the
unit.
•Verify that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring, and power supply
voltage are all correct.
•Sufficiently tighten the installation screws and terminal screws.
•Set the mode selector to PROG. mode.
Before Entering a Program ( Chapter 5)
Be sure to perform a program clear operation before entering a program.
When using FPWIN GR software
Procedure:
1. Execute “FPWIN GR”.
2. ON the “Online” menu, select “Online Edit Mode”.
3. ON the “Edit” menu, select “Clear Program”.
Battery
Do not install the battery when it is not used.
There is a possibility of leak if the battery remains discharged.

Special Precautions
With the FP2
The FP2 uses the term “module” when express the size of the unit or backplane.
The unit installation sizes come in two sizes: the basic 1-module size, and the 2-module
size that is twice as wide.
The 1-module unit is the size that physically takes up the space of one guide on the
backplane.
The 2-module unit is the size that physically takes up the space of two guides on the
backplane.
1-module unit 2-module unit
Backplane Selection
Following two kinds of backplanes are available.
1) FP2 backplane (AFP25***) (Color of letters on the printed board: White)
2) FP2 backplane H type (AFP25****H) (Color of letters on the printed board: Yellow)
These two backplanes cannot be used in combination.
Carefully select the type of backplanes before you order.
The selection of the backplane should be based on the total number of modules to be
used in the system. In other words, the module number of the backplane must be
greater than or equal to the total number of modules for the system. So be sure to select
a backplane that allows the installation of all the required units.

FP2/FP2SHTable of Contents
x
When using the FP3, FP10SH, or Other Units
Backplane slot number
The backplane for the FP2 is specified by the total number of slots, i.e., 14-module type,
including the connectors for the power supply unit and CPU. The number of connectors
(or slots) remaining for the I/O units and intelligent units is then the module number of
the backplane minus the number of modules for the power supply unit and CPU.
Similarly, the number of connectors (or slots) remaining for the I/O units on expansion
backplanes is the module number of the backplane minus the number of modules for
the power supply unit.
Expansion backplanes
1. FP2 backplane
−Does not support expansion with 5-module type backplanes.
−Backplanes that are not the 5-module type can be used as expansion backplanes.
2. FP2 backplane H type
−This backplane is functionally equivalent to the backplane for FP3.
−There are the basic backplane H type for installing I/O units and the expansion
backplane H type for adding I/O units more.
−The basic backplane cannot be used as an expansion backplane.
Removal and Installation of Expansion Memory Unit
During removal and installation of expansion memory unit, the contents of the internal
RAM may be erased, so be sure to save a copy of the program and data onto a disk
before beginning the operations.
Use programming tool software (NPST−GR/FPWIN GR) for backup purposes.
Before rewriting the backed up program and data to the programmable controller, be
sure to clear the program in the programmable controller.

Programming Tool Restrictions
The following tool software is required in order to program the FP2SH.
“FPWIN GR”
“NPST−GR” Ver. 4.6 or a subsequent version
Request Concerning Program Storage
To prevent the accidental loss of programs, the user should consider the following
measures.
Drafting of documents
To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying files, or overwriting the contents of
a file, documents should be printed out and then saved. Disks should be organized to
assure safe maintenance.
Specifying the password carefully
The password setting is designed to avoid programs being accidentally overwritten. If
the password is forgotten, however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even
if you want to. Also, if a password is forcibly bypassed, the program is deleted. When
specifying the password, note it in the specifications manual or in another safe location
in case it is forgotten at some point.
Saving programs to the ROM
In order to prevent programs from being lost if the backup battery runs down, and to
prevent accidental overwriting of programs in the workplace, we recommend saving
programs entered in the RAM to the ROM. If the PLC is used over a long period of time,
this concern applies particularly to programs that are built into the device when shipped.
Check the manuals for specifications and other items pertaining to usage.

The types of optional ROMs are different.
The only ROM that can be used with the FP2SH CPU unit ”FP2−C2” is the ”Model
number AFP5208 or AFP5209”. The nonvolatile memory implemented memory unit
”Model number AFP2208” can be also used.
The FP2 ROM “Part number AFP2204” and “Part number AFP2205” cannot be used.
The backup battery types are different.
The backup battery for the FP2SH CPU is the “Part number AFP8801” battery with a
connector.
The “Part number AFC8801” battery for the FP2 CPU cannot be used.
The calendar timer and comment memories have been installed in advance.
These have already been installed in the FP2SH CPU, and no optional units are
needed.
ROM operation functions in the FP2SH
CPUs that support IC memory cards (FP2−C2P and FP2−C3P) have an internal FROM
used as a program memory. The internal FROM cannot be replaced.
Software Compatibility
The FP2SH has a higher level of compatibility than the FP2, so there are no functions
that cannot be used with the FP2SH. Other factors, such as the number of device
points, should be confirmed by checking the specifications comparison table on the
previous page.

IC memory cards for the FP2SH
The existing model number becomes the one to be discontinued because of the
termination of manufacturing IC memory cards by the parts manufacturer. When placing
a new order, specify the new product number.
Termination of Production
Type Memory capacity Model No. Battery type
SRAM 2MB AIC52000 Internal secondary battery (Rechargeable type)
New product
Type Memory capacity Model No. Battery type
SRAM 2MB AFP2209 Lithium Battery (Interchangeable type)
Notes
For AFP2209
•An interchangeable lithium battery is used. When you use for
the first time, install the battery included.
For AIC52000
•Memory backup of the SRAM type of IC memory card
(AIC52000) Is handled by an internal secondary battery. When
the battery is used for the first time, power must be supplied
for at least 24 hours to charge it fully. When the battery is fully
charged, data is backed up for more than three months with
out the power being turned on. Normally, the card should be
installed in the PLC and power supplied when using it. Failing
to charge the battery periodically can reduce the backup
period and the service life of the battery. The backup battery
cannot be replaced.

Compatibility of FP2/FP2SH and FP10SH,
and Precautions
Hardware Compatibility
The unit, backplane, and other components are not compatible.
The components for the FP2 are used with the FP2SH.
When using the FP2 backplane (AFP25**), the maximum number of expansion
points is lower.
With the FP10SH and FP2 backplane H type (AFP25**H), up to three expansion boards
can be used, and a maximum of 2048 points controlled, but if using the FP2 backplane
with the FP2/FP2SH, only one expansion board can be used, and a maximum of 1600
points controlled.
Different types of IC memory cards are used.
The only type of IC card that can be used with the “Part number FP2−C2P and
FP2−C3P” FP2SH CPU is the IC memory card (small PC card). The IC memory card
for the FP10SH cannot be used.
Software Compatibility
With the FP2SH, in comparison with the FP10SH, there are no functions that cannot
be used. For other detailed specifications, check the specifications comparison table
on the previous page.
