Product Overview

The Yokogawa F3SP05-0P is a Serial CPU Module developed for the FA-M3 programmable logic controller (PLC) system. As the central processing unit of the automation system, it executes user programs, processes input and output signals, performs logic operations, and coordinates communication between various PLC modules.

Designed for reliable industrial control, the F3SP05-0P offers fast program execution, stable cyclic processing, and flexible expansion capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of factory automation and machine control applications.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The F3SP05-0P serves as the processing core of the FA-M3 PLC system. During operation, it continuously scans input signals, executes the user-defined ladder program, performs logical calculations, updates internal memory, and refreshes output signals.

The CPU repeats this sequence continuously, ensuring deterministic and real-time control of connected industrial equipment.

Operating Sequence

1. Read input signals from field devices.
2. Execute the ladder logic program.
3. Process arithmetic, logic, timing, and control functions.
4. Update internal registers and memory.
5. Refresh output modules to control field devices.
6. Repeat the scan cycle continuously.
