The Panasonic AFPXHC14R is an FP-XH series CPU with 8 digital inputs and 6 relay outputs, running on 100~240 VAC. This is the relay-output variant of the FP-XH compact line, meaning each output switches up to its rated resistive load through mechanical contacts — useful for direct control of contactors, small motors, or solenoid valves where isolation and inrush tolerance matter more than cycle life.
If you're cross-referencing this against the AFPXHC14T (transistor outputs) or the AFPXHC14RD (24 VDC supply, relay outputs), the choice comes down to load type and panel power. The relay outputs on the AFPXHC14R handle higher inrush and don't need a separate load supply for each channel, but they wear faster on high-frequency cycling — transistor outputs on the T variant are better for solenoid banks or fast indexing. The RD variant drops the line-voltage supply for 24 VDC, which simplifies control transformer sizing if the rest of the panel runs on 24 V.
