Control FPWIN Pro7

Panasonic FP-XH Programmable Controller - Figure 4 Programming software Control FPWIN Pro with PLC open certification

Control FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard IEC 61131-3. Control FPWIN Pro is the universal software for all Panasonic PLCs and the ELC500 control unit.

Programs written in older versions will run with Control FPWIN Pro7.
Programs are compatible across FP series PLCs, e.g. FP0R programs will run with minor adjustments on FPΣ (Sigma) and FP7 PLCs.
Control FPWIN Pro7 offers a choice of editors, thus allowing you to select the programming language you are most familiar with.
