Enhanced communication functions to cater to different applications
RS232C×1 4 expansion ch
■ 　 More communication paths
USB×1
Built-in 2ch （ USB ， RS232C ）
　 + 4 expansion ch （ RS232C ， RS422/485 ， Ethernet ）
→ to meet various communication requirements 　

■ 　 High speed PLC connection

Same FP-XH product supports
230kbps high speed PLC connection
　→ Transmission time shorten

■ 　 Enhancement of built-in RS232C port (COM0)

PLC link, MEWTOCOL-master
　→　 simple implementation of 1:1 PLC connection
COM0 port can also control device by serial communication

■ 　 Equipped with MINI USB2.0 port

High-speed data communication with PLC
Program upload, download and data monitoring
will be faster

● Setting up COM4
The COM4 port supports only MEWTOCOL-COM . In addition, the communication
parameters (station number, communication format, communication rate) when the power is ON are same
as the settings of the COM3 port. After RUN, conditions can be changed using SYS1 instruction

Controller FP-XH
Compatibility with FP-X
Can directly replace FP-X series products
■ Interchangeability with FP-X programs
Regarding FP-X commands, FP-XH also supports FP-X programs.
※ with some exceptions

3 steps to migration
①Upload ③Download
FP-X FP-XH
②Convert PLC type

■ During FP-X→FP-XH program conversion ,

FP-X C30 FP-XH C30
system registers will be converted as well
When the FP-X program is converted to FP-XH,
settings in the system register will remain 　
■ Terminal block configuration is the same
The terminal block configuration is the same as that of the FP-X series,
eliminating the need for redesign of the terminal wiring
※ Transistor type requires no external 24V power supply

Points to note (difference in instructions of FP-X and FP-X0)
Instructions F171 、 F172 、 F174 、 F175
（１） Part of the control code has changed
Frequency Range : 0~2 selectable → Auto
Duty cycle : 50% or 25% 　→　 25% fixed
　※ No errors will be generated after the conversion; however the ON time of the pulse
maybe abnormal due to the specified value of the duty cycle
　　
（２） Actual output frequency may have a error (not exceeding 2%)

Points to note (compatibility with FP-X and FP-X0) O/P circuit of FPX & FPX0

●Hardware compatibility
　・ Workable with FP-X expansion units and FP-X0 expansion units
　・ Workable with FP-X communication and application cassettes
　 Less restrictions on the installation location when used with FP-
XH
　・ Different wiring for transistor type control unit.
O/P circuit of FPXH
　　　 Output circuit does not require powering up by external 24Vdc.
　・ Backup battery is different.
FP-XH backup battery is required.
　・ Tool port is USB2.0 (mini-B)
●Software compatibility
　・ FPWIN-Gr2 Ver.2.93 or better is required for FP-XH
　・ Position control function has been greatly enhanced.
Data table setting mode simplifies setup and programming.
In addition, the position control mode and
the origin return mode have been enhanced.
　・ Programs of FPX can be converted to FP-XH by using
“Convert PLC type” in FPWIN-GR7.
　・ FP-XH is compatible with the old FPX commands,
but the old commands (F171 to F175) cannot coexist
with the new commands (F380 to F385)
　・ Support all instructions for the FP-X

Linear Linear Linear

interpolation interpolation interpolation
1 2 3

Using only 1 PLC, all 6 ch of pulse o/p can be configured

to 3 sets of X, Y tables with linear interpolation

It can be used with a simple mid range industrial robot

arm with a maximum of 6-axis 100 kHz. Linear
interpolation can be realized for every 2 axis.

Point
Multi-channel high-speed pulse output
Combined with upgraded hardware as well as enhanced
simpler software interface, it is easy to realize multi-
channel, linear interpolation, with separate acceleration
and deceleration, etc.
