Integrator's first look
The AFPXHC60T-F is a compact terminal-block PLC from Panasonic's FP-XH series. It carries 32 DC inputs and 28 NPN transistor outputs on a single base unit. The 100–240 VAC supply means it can share a panel's control transformer without an extra 24 VDC power supply. Wiring lands on terminal blocks, so no connector crimping or header alignment — strip, terminate, torque.
Memory and scan timing
Program capacity is selectable between 24K, 32K, and 40K steps via a switch-over setting. No hardware variant needed — one part number covers the range. For a medium-sized machine with motion and HMI comms, the 40K tier is usually the one to specify. Data registers span 64k, 32k, and 12k words depending on the program capacity chosen. That is enough for batch-level data logging or recipe tables without an external memory cartridge. Periodic interrupt timers run from 0.1 ms to 30 s, covering high-speed capture cycles and slow supervisory tasks alike. Useful if a fast cam or encoder edge needs fixed-interval sampling.
