Intelligent automation products technology provided under the global trademark Panasonic
Economic globalisation requires production with unprecedented efficiency. An indispensable factor in achieving this is the use of sophisticated automation systems. With intelligent automation products and state-of-the-art automation control equipment, Panasonic provides global support for automation and the enhancement of comfort, not only in production processes but in other workplaces as well. We help make society more comfortable by exploiting the automation control technology we have developed in factory automation. This technology is applied to the automation of public and private buildings, power monitoring and remote control systems, for example. We deliver products that meet a wide range of needs today, including demanding size, service life, and reliability requirements. Our activities have an outstanding reputation for innovative engineering and high quality.

Machine Vision systems

Industrial inspection solutions across the board
Panasonic is one of the few manufacturers that offers a complete Machine Vision systems range, from the small vision sensor to high-end devices. All of these products have one thing in comon: they help to produce 100% quality, and that translates into 100% satisfied customers. Our Vision systems are used extensively in our own manufacturing plants. Hence the systems are developed and based on real industrial requirements and applications. Machine Vision applications must often be tailor-made. Rather than offer only one product, we strive to provide you with the most reliable and efficient solution for your visual inspection task.

Advantages of PLC control
Panasonic PLCs offer an outstanding quality which incorporates numerous functions into a very compact body. Even in the smallest size they provide a powerful instruction set which allows the system to handle demanding tasks such as analogue control, networking and positioning control. As with all Panasonic products, the PLCs undergo extremely rigorous testing during development that far exceeds the demands that will actually be placed on them. This is a guaranty for the long life of the product in the application.
Strong in communication Tele control
Innovative Programming Software
Our PLC programming software was one of the first on the market according to the international standard IEC 61131-3. Numerous libraries that incorporate a lot of our know-how ensure the reusability of readymade functions and function blocks and save time for programming and debugging. Control FPWIN Pro works with any FP-series programmable controller. FP OPC Server is best suited if you need to connect your software application to a Panasonic PLC. Telecontrol via analog modem Wireless telecontrol via GSM/GPRS adapter Building automation via IEC60870 Communicator Ethernet and Building automation via FP Web-Server Industrial communication via PROFIBUS, DeviceNET or CANopen Units
Integrated communication ports
provide direct, open communication without extra units or adapters

FP-e All in one

This single unit contains multiple features: timer, counter, hour meter, temperature controller and PLC functions. Making full use of these functions, the FP-e can handle a wide range of applications.
FP0 series Perfect for small devices
The control units dimensions are W25 x H90 x D60mm. With up to 3 expansion units the FP0 can be expanded to a maximum of 128 points I/O. Even so, the size is still only W105 x H90 x D60mm, a super compact design that breaks all previous common sense rules on smallscale PLCs.

FP (Sigma) Compact PLC

With its two 100kHz pulse outputs, four high speed counters that function at up to 50kHz for positioning applications, a programming memory capable of storing 32,000 steps, a real-time clock, and communication interfaces for RS232 and RS485, FP (Sigma) is one of the most flexible and also the smallest PLCs on the market.

FP-X Compact PLC

FP-X is one of the most powerful compact PLCs in the world. A program memory with 32,000 steps combined with the high operation speed of 0.32s/ basic instruction are proof of this. It is our first PLC which has USB and RS232 ports for programming on board. FP-X provides highest flexibility with its unique expansion cassettechnology.
FP2 / FP2SH series Ultra-high performance
The FP2SH is a high-performance PLC featuring a remarkable processing speed of 0,03s and a large capacity program memory up to 120,000 steps with a wide range of modules in an amazingly compact form. This PLC greatly contributes to shortened production times, down-sizing of production equipment and improved networking.

Our Motion Control Solution comprises FP series PLCs, Minas A4/A4N drivers, servo motors and appropriate cables.The latest technological advances in digital control enable motion control solutions to be applied to even the smallest machines. Panasonic Inverters are ultra compact and easy to operate using the integrated operating panel.
Operator terminals for all applications

Operator terminals

Whether in industry, transport and traffic systems or modern office equipment, todays technology increasingly demands communication between humans and machines. Machines are not only required to display data, results and messages, they must also accept process variables and actions from their human operator. The GT series touch terminals make communication between human and machine easy. With an installation depth of 24mm (GT01) to 39.1mm (GT32), GT terminals boast the slimmest body in the industry. However, compact size does not diminish quality: the resolution for text and graphics is 128x64 to 320x240 pixels. You can choose between monochrome and color (STN, TFT) displays.

FP-SERIES PLCs

MINAS A4/A4N/A4P/E SERIES SERVO DRIVES
By using the programming software GTWIN, you can create messages and graphics to display on the GT series touch panels. GTWIN also contains several libraries with predefined objects, e.g. switches, lamps, clock parts, sampling diagrams, etc., allowing you to design screens quickly, easily and tailored to the needs of your application.

SOFTWARE

Control Congurator PM
For applications where a simple message suffices, Panasonics Message Runner may be your answer. The extremely compact Message Runner can display up to 64 text messages. You can define the appearance for each message, e.g. its color, speed, whether it blinks, etc. Messages can contain up to 32 characters and run across the screen 8 characters at a time.
