FPΣ (Sigma)
Optimised communication functions
(when PLC linkage is achieved with link relays and link data registers)
The masterless communication method means that even if a connected device (station) goes into power off, operations to
automatically switch the master station continue. Start up is smooth and the recovery from malfunctions is also potentially faster.
Previous models
Usual master-slave communication
Uses the insulated RS485, which is highly reliable and largely impervious to noise.
High-speed communication over long distances are enabled.
With the RS485 type communication cassette...
More links than you imagined a compact PLC could achieve
(2,048 link relays / 256-word link data registers)

Masterless communication method
Use of insulated RS485
Despite being compact you can create powerful PLC links!
If the master station is not on,
communication cannot take place.
Errors occur when devices are not
turned on in sequence.
Transmission speed: Max. 115.2kbits/s
Can be used to share product type between different machines.
Can be used for interlocking between different machines.
Easy wiring between PLCs with twin-core cabling.

With the FPΣ (Sigma)
Masterless communication using the FPΣ (Sigma)
Even if a station goes into a power-
off state, communications between
the other stations continue.
Four types of communication cassettes enable:
In addition, the green screw terminal is removable
for easy wiring.
