Specification

The PANASONIC PLC FP-X SERIES AFPX-C14T, AFPX-C14TD, AFPX-C14P, and AFPX-C14PD represent a versatile family of compact controllers designed for demanding automation tasks such as packaging, material handling, and machine control. These units combine high-speed processing with robust I/O capabilities, making them ideal for both standalone and networked systems. The AFPX-C14T model offers transistor outputs for high-speed switching, while the AFPX-C14TD variant adds a built-in real-time clock and data logging. The AFPX-C14P and AFPX-C14PD include enhanced positioning functions for servo and stepper motor control, with the PD version supporting pulse train output for precise motion profiles.
