Specification

The Panasonic FP-X Series, including models such as the AFPX-C38AT, AFPX-C60T, AFPX-C60TD, and AFPX-C60P, represents a robust line of programmable logic controllers designed for demanding industrial environments. These units combine high-speed processing with extensive I/O expansion capabilities, making them suitable for applications ranging from simple machine control to complex production lines. With built-in flash ROM, a wide range of communication options, and support for high-speed counters and pulse outputs, the FP-X series delivers reliable performance and flexibility. The transistor output models (AFPX-C60T/C60TD) offer high-speed switching for precise motion tasks, while the relay output model (AFPX-C60P) provides robust isolation for general-purpose control. Below are the detailed technical specifications for the C14, C30, and C60 base units, which share core architecture with the AFPX-C38AT and AFPX-C60 models.
