FP-XH CPU with full I/O complement
The AFPXHC60T is the highest-density CPU in Panasonic's FP-XH series, packing 32 digital inputs and 28 solid-state outputs into a single DIN-rail module. It runs on 100–240VAC supply and operates from 0°C to 55°C, making it a drop-in choice for medium-sized machines that need fast, reliable switching without mechanical contacts. The solid-state outputs eliminate coil replacement and give you cycle counts well beyond relay life.
Solid-state vs. relay: where it matters
Compared to the AFPXHC30R (16 inputs, 14 relay outputs), the AFPXHC60T doubles the I/O count and swaps the relays for solid-state transistors. That means no contact wear, faster switching, and suitability for high-cycle applications like pick-and-place or packaging machines. If your panel was laid out for an AFPXHC30R, rework is needed – the hole patterns and terminal assignments differ, and the solid-state outputs require different load wiring (DC or AC depending on sink/source). The AFPXHC60T's solid-state outputs also run cooler than a relay stack driving similar loads, which can reduce thermal buildup in a crowded enclosure.
