The Panasonic AFP0RC16CT is a FP0R-series control logic CPU with 8 digital inputs and 8 outputs — 4 configured as pulse outputs and 4 as PWM outputs — running on a 24 VDC supply. It sits on a DIN rail and communicates via RS-232C, with expandability up to 3 additional modules. The 12K-word memory and FPWINPRO7 software support standard ladder and structured programming for small to mid-size machine control.
The 24 VDC supply powers the CPU and any expansion modules through the backplane bus; no separate power supply is needed for the I/O side. RS-232C is fixed at the listed protocol — no fieldbus gateway inside the CPU, so if you need Ethernet/IP or PROFINET, you add a communication module in one of the three expansion slots. Operating range is 0°C to 55°C, which covers most cabinet environments without forced cooling.
