Description

The FP2 High−speed Counter Unit and FP2 Pulse I/O Unit may be installed on either thebackplane on the CPU side, or the backplane on the expansion side. Multiple units maybe installed as long as the overall current consumption is within the range describedabove. However, these units should be installed to the right of the power supply unit andthe CPU unit

The FP2-HSCT is a Panasonic FP2 High-speed Counter Unit designed as an intelligent unit that can be installed in the FP2 programmable controller to enable easy access to high-speed counter functions. The FP2-HSCT provides 4 channels of high-speed counter functionality with a maximum calculation speed of 200 kHz, enabling precise counting of high-frequency pulse signals from encoders and other pulse-generating devices. 

The FP2-HSCT features 8 comparison outputs that can be set to any of 8 target values, allowing flexible comparison control for position and motion applications. The FP2-HSCT supports up to 8 interrupt inputs per unit, with interrupt programs triggered by either external input signals (X8 to XF) or comparison matching signals (EQ0 to EQ7), providing versatile interrupt control capabilities.

Information

Overview Manuals Application Notes Product Applications Module Mounting Instructions

Features:

  • 4-Channel High-Speed Counter with 200 kHz Maximum Speed
  • 8 Comparison Outputs with Flexible Target Value Setting
  • 8 Interrupt Inputs with Multiple Trigger Sources
  • Input Time Constant Function for Noise Filtering
  • Mixed I/O Capability with 16 Inputs and 16 Outputs
The unit supports multiple counting modes including up, down, up/down, and phase difference (quadrature) counting. Each channel accepts A, B, and Z phase inputs from rotary encoders, linear encoders, or pulse generators. Input voltage is selectable between 5 V DC and 24 V DC.

Two comparison match outputs are provided as transistor outputs (NPN or PNP selectable) with 0.3 A current capacity per point. These outputs can be used for position-based control, cut-to-length applications, and high-speed positioning.

The FP2-HSCT includes preset, capture, and latch functions configurable via FPWIN Pro or FPWIN GR programming software. The module mounts directly on FP2 base units or expansion units and is accessed directly by the FP2 CPU.

The AFP2441 FP2-HSCT Panasonic FP2High-speed Counter Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The Panasonic AFP2441 FP2-HSCT is a high-speed counter module for FP2 PLC systems, capable of counting up to 200 kHz pulse signals with 32-bit resolution. It is widely used in motion control, encoder feedback, and high-speed industrial counting applications, though it is now a discontinued model with FP7 series recommended as replacement.
  • Length Measurement/Cutting: Interfaces with encoders to measure materials and activate shears at exact lengths
  • Packaging/Bottling: Counts incoming products at high speed and triggers diverters or labelers at batch quantities
  • Conveyor Sorting: Tracks products and synchronizes sensors to divert items to specific bins or stations
  • Rotary Indexing: Monitors encoders to ensure precise, repeatable stopping positions for assembly or drilling

Backplane Compatibility: The FP2-HSCT is designed to be installed in available expansion slots on the FP2 or FP2SH series CPU backplanes. 
Inserting the Module: Align the module's PCB edge with the guide rails of the backplane slot. Push it straight back until the module securely locks into the backplane connector. 
Securing: Tighten the mounting screws on the top and bottom of the module front panel to secure it to the chassis.

Technical notes

The FP2-HSCT features 24V DC + common (NPN output) input configuration with NPN 5 to 24V DC outputs rated at 0.1A for 12 points and 0.8A for 4 points, compatible with standard industrial sensors and actuators. The FP2-HSCT uses a 40-pin wire-pressed terminal type connector (AFP2801) for field wiring connections. The FP2-HSCT requires FP2 CPU unit version 1.09 or later for proper operation.

FAQs

  • What is the AFP2441 (FP2-HSCT) ?

    +
    The Panasonic AFP2441 (FP2-HSCT) is a high-speed counter module designed for the FP2-series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
  • What are the wiring requirements?

    +
    The unit utilizes a pressure-welding socket. Because of this specific connection type, a special pressure-welding tool is generally required for proper wiring. Standard flat cable connectors or direct terminal connections might also require specific Panasonic socket accessories.
  • What is the maximum counting frequency of the FP2-HSCT?

    +
    The unit supports high-speed counting up to 200 kHz. This allows it to capture rapid pulses without missing counts during high-speed manufacturing processes..
  • What type of output transistor logic does the AFP2441 use?

    +
    The AFP2441 (FP2-HSCT) features NPN transistor outputs. If your system requires PNP logic, you must look for the alternative AFP2451 model.
