Control FPWIN Pro
Programming According to the International Standard IEC 61131-3
FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard 
IEC 61131-3 (for Windows 98, NT V4.0, 2000, ME or XP). This new version is a result of experience gained 
over many years. We were one of the first PLC manufacturers to offer an IEC 61131-3 programming software, 
and we are a leading member of the international organisation PLCopen.
The most important highlights at a glance:
"
 One software for all FP Series PLCs.
"
 5 programming languages (instruction list, ladder diagram, function block diagram, 
  sequential function chart, structured text) available for all PLCs.
"
 Programme organisation units, task and project management provide clear structure.
"
 Reuse of ready-made functions and function blocks saves time for programming and debugging.
"
 Online monitoring and diagnostics.
"
 Forcing – Turning off input and output contacts via the PC.
"
 Modem communication for remote programming, service and diagnostics.
"
 Extensive comments – online documentation created hand in hand with the programme.
"
 6 languages are supported: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

Σ (Sigma)
Free demonstration CD
Input and output variables 
are defined once in the 
global variable list
Multiple address assigment 
is caught automatically 
by the compiler
Local variables are allocated 
automatically by the compiler
Type safe programming using 
simple or complex data types
Functions can be saved in 
libraries for future reuse
Navigator with tree 
representation of called 
functions provides an 
overview even for very 
complex projects
The SFC editor (Sequential 
Function Chart) allows you to 
easily visualize processes
Additional window for monitoring 
and forcing variables
Special functions for controlling the 
SFC program from another program
Long variable names make the 
program self-explanatory
Temporary variables are allocated 
and released automatically by the 
compiler
One instruction for different 
data types (overloaded instructions)
Comfortable programming in the 
graphical LD editor (ladder diagram)
Structuring with 
selection statements
Using loops for running 
through incoming data
...or arrays
Easy handling of 
formulas and 
arithmetic 
expressions
...or for generating 
formatted output 
strings
Using STRING 
functions for analyzing 
incoming data...
Using aliases for PLC-independent 
access to the special data registers, e.g. RTC
The ST editor 
(Structured Text) 
solves complex 
programming tasks
